Disney's Aladdin came out on DVD today. The cheapest place I could find selling it was Target for 15.99, which includes a free bag of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. Costco is selling it for 18.49, which comes with a a two-song cd or 34.99 for the Special Edition. Hard to believe it's been 12 years since it first came out in theaters.


I remember that one of the concerns of the film was that unlike the previous Disney classics, Robin William's dialogue would be too modern, too tied to the early 90s, and that the new generation of kids wouldn't understand the jokes that Genie makes.

Actually, the movie is 11 years old. It came out in 1993, I think. =)

I don't know about the current generation of kids, but I don't think the humor is dated. I still find Robin William's Genie funny. But then, I was still in elementary school and two years shy of entering high school when it came out so who knows,it might be true. =)

This makes me feel old. =)
