When street urchin Aladdin (voiced by Scott Weinger) releases a genie (voiced by Robin Williams) from a magic oil lamp, he uses its powers to help him woo the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin, Lea Salonga singing).
But the genie’s abilities are also coveted by the evil Jafar (Jonathan Freeman), who plans to seize power and rule the land.
Robin Williams’s vocal performance as the Genie steals the show in this beautifully constructed Disney animation, his ad-libbing a perfect match for the wonderful visuals.
