Golden Films' Aladdin is a wonderful children's adventure in which a young man who lives humbly but comfortably with his mother in his Arabian home one day receives the visit of the dreadful magician Haseem. Haseem impersonates the boy's uncle, brother of his late father and one morning brings Aladdin to the place he says he and his brother once played. Haseem uses his magic to reveal the opening of a secret cave where he asks Aladdin to bring out a magical lamp. Aladdin now knows Haseem is an impostor and manages to keep the lamp to himself. When Aladdin discovers the power of its inside, he wishes for a comfortable life for his mother and help to find his true love, the Princess Leila.
Aladdin is a delightful children's film and I found it truer and more enjoyable than Disney's rather forgettable "Aladdin" released on the same year. This movie is not meant for adults, it is kept simply, yet nicely to be especially enjoyable for children. It features only one song, which is reprised at the end, the backgrounds and characters are colorful and well-designed and the voices fit the characters splendidly, even if none of the actors behind the characters are any well-known stars. The movie is magical on its own merit rather than relying on Robin William's stardom or Disney's name. A fine effort from GoodTimes Entertainment that is sure to delight little ones. 10/10.
