I'm sorry but Jafar repeatedly and aggressively calling Aladdin "Prince Abooboo" is so funny to me every time
That always cracks me up! That super sinister and serious tone he says it in too xD he never gets it right actually
Honestly same I thought I was the only one here thinking this every time I watched this movie 😭
RIGHT it cracks me up everytime 🤭
Was coming here to say, I find Jafar's commitment to the Prince Abooboo name incredibly funny every time!
Agreed so much! 🤣😭 As a child I used think he was saying poo poo instead of boo boo, lol.
Rest in peace, Robin Williams. He definitely made the Genie come to life with his energetic vocal performance. We've never had a friend or an actor quite like him, and are unlikely to have again. 💔😇
He was truly special 😁 - Sam
One of my favorite fun facts about Robin's involvement in this movie:
Part of his requirements for playing the Genie was that Disney would not use his voice to promote any merchandise. But then Disney breached that agreement, they had a falling out, and Robin refused to do the second movie, forcing them to get Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson) instead (additional fun fact: Dan still voices Genie in the _Kingdom Hearts_ games).
Disney _did_ eventually apologize and patch things up with Robin, which is why he returned for the third.
We miss you Robin Williams. You made my childhood. I'm so glad you did this, it was fun.
Fun Fact: this movie was the beginning of having one person do the speaking voice and one person do the singing voice. In this film Linda Larkin did the speaking voice for Jasmine while Lea Salonga did the singing voice (Salonga would later do the singing voice for Mulan with Ming-Na doing her speaking voice). Scott Wanger (who played Steve on Full House) did the speaking voice for Aladdin while Brad Kane did the singing voice.
The movie is based on a short Arabian story called Aladdin, or Aladdin and The Wonderful Lamp, from the Arabian fairytale The Book of 101 Nights. The author is unknown.
Douglas Seale, who played the Sultan, died a year after they made the film.
They made quite a bit of changes from the original story. In the story, Alddin's mom is alive, he gets an unlimited number of wishes with no rules, the advisor, or Vizier in Arabic, is trying to get the princess to marry his son, the princess name is Badroulbadour, meaning full moon, the setting is in China ,Aladdin had a magic ring given to him by a sorcerer, which also has a Genie inside, and the sorcerer is the one who tricks him into going into the cave and retreving the lamp. In the film, they were originally going to stick to the short story, but Jeffrey Katzenburg, the Disney Chairman at the time, said the script was not engaging enough and needed to be rewritten (for this reason, the scriptwriters and animators consider that day to be Black Friday because they were told to do it over closed to the deadline). Jeffrey had them get rid of the mother, calling her a zero, and told them not to referente Jasmine's age, which is 16, probably out of fear of outrage over a large age gap (though we don't know for sure if that's true). All the other changes were agreed upon prior to Jeffrey's involvement, changing the ring to a magic carpet, Badroulbadour to Jasmine, having only three wishes (they had to fight hard on that one), getting rid of the advisor's son, and having the Genie want freedom (in the original story, the Genie is happy to serve his master).
Robin Williams didn't want to do the voice of the Genie at first, but he changed his mind after one of the animators did a pencil sketch of the Genie using one of Robin's comedy albums (you can watch this in the making of section on the DVD). Robin loved it so much, he changed his mind and agreed to play the Genie. He also played the peddler at the beginning of the movie with Bruce Adler doing the singing voice. Robin did his own singing to Friend Like Me.
Iago was supposed to sound like a Britsh butler, but they had to completely change the character's personality after casting Gilbrt Gottfried.
Aladdin was supposed to have three friends, Kassim, Omar and Babkak, but they got replace with Abu, played by Frank Welker, because they felt it wasn't working.
Robin Williams and Will Smith do have one thing in common: they both aren't great singers. In fact, when Robin was asked if he was going to do a singing album, he immediately said no because he was not a good singers and that if he put out a singing album, parents would run away from him for sounding terrible. 😂
They used models to re-enact the scenes for them so they can use it as a reference for their drawings, just like they did with all the other animated movies, though they didn't release the names of the models this time, so I can't tell you who played what.
This is the first film without Howard Ashman, who co-wrote the songs with Alan Menken for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and The Beast (though he did worked on the music for Aladdin prior to his death from AIDS). Tim Rice replaced him and together, the both won an Oscar for A Whole New World.
This was the first film to have an A-list star to voice a Disney film (prior to that, it was B-list or C-list stars or people who were mot stars at all).
Sadly, this was the beginning of the Disney vs. Robin saga. Robin made a deal in which he would take a lesser pay of $75,000 in exchange for Disney to not use the Genie for marketing and that his character only takes up 25% of the artwork used in movie posters for he didn'twant the Genie to overshadow the main characters, as well as the fact his film Toys was coming out and he didn't want the Genie to overshadow that either. The studio went against his wishes and used the Genie in everything, including commercials, pissing off Robin, not only for breaking their promise which caused his film Toys to flop but also because he wasn't givwn any money for the advertising. In fact, Robin was so mad that he refused to come back for the sequel Return of Jafar and the series, both of which was voiced by Rob Costello instead, and told Billy Crystal to never work for them (he was going to audition for Woody in Toy Story but took his friends advice instead. Robin returned to play the Genie in the final film King of Thieves after Joe Roth, who replaced Jeffrey as Chairman, issed a public apology to Robin for not keeping their promise. Robin agreed to come back on the condition that the Genie be used for educational purposes. This time, Disney kept their promise and Robin returned to play the Genie for a series regarding History and for the Aladdin math adventure game on CD-Rom. Although he had a falling out with Disney, Robin had long considered the Genie to be one of his best character and had nothing but positive memories about that experience. RIP.
@@naimahal-azeez1728 wow, you are a fount of information... thanks for taking the trouble to type all of this. MVP of this comment section!!
There was a theory that the seller and the genie were the same since they both were voiced by Robin, their color schemes were both blue with red around the waist, and they are the only characters with only four fingers instead of five. That theory was proven many years later when a producer shared a deleted scene of the seller turning into the genie
There’s a script you can find online of the first treatment for Aladdin, written by the late great Howard Ashman. That bit about the narrator salesman being the genie in disguise is in the script as early as even then. (That early version was very different, btw. There were two genies, including a lesser genie of the ring as well, which is closer to the original story from 1001 Arabian Nights.)
Theory? It is now fact that genie and the seller are one in the same, the scene that was meant to show us this was unfortunately lost though
The Arabian Nights were a collection of folk tales and stories. The framing device is pretty dark. A proud king finds his wife in bed with another man one day and puts them both to death. After this, he swears revenge on women, marrying a series of unfortunate young brides and executing them at dawn after the wedding night. One day he chooses a bride who has an incredible gift for storytelling. Both the tales and her delivery are spelbinding. On the wedding night she tells her king/husband part of a story, promising to finish it the next night. The king needs to know how the story ends so he keeps her alive till she can finish it. Her story still isnt done however so he holds off the execution another night, and another, and another. The storyteller has so many tales and such a gift for cliffhangers she managed to keep it up for 1001 nights, by which time the king had fallen in love with her and abandoned his rampant misogyny. The story of Aladdin and the lamp was one of her tales.
Scheherazade! What an icon.
What a despicable king. Murdered people in coldblood.
the storytelling bride in question is even referenced directly by the genie in "Friend Like Me" -- "Scheherazade had a thousand tales"
The fact that Robin Williams was convinced to play Genie because one of the animators drew the Genie doing one of Robin's standup routines and it made him laugh is just heartwarming.
It’s a shame that Disney ruined their good will with him afterwards by going against his contract terms. (It’s a fascinating story: Lindsey Ellis did a video about it.)
Fun fact; the VA who sings for jasmine (Lea salonga) is the same VA who sings for mulan in the 1998 version! She’s also a very prolific broadway actress
I love that she’s done two different Les Mes anniversary concerts as two different characters. She has the RANGE.
She played a leading role in Allegiance as Kei with George Takei 💜
I heard that Robin Williams used a lot of his stand-up material for the character of the Genie. He improvised and ad-libbed many of his lines, and the animators animated around that.
Robin Williams was so funny!
There was no one like him
R.I.P. Robin Williams
There are clips of him doing the ad libs of some of the takes that didnt get included and a few of them even had clips of rough drafts animations of those ad libs, they’re great! There’s so much more material though that definitely were unreleased, he really gave a lot, he was such an awesome guy
😮😮 pidió😮😮
Despite him not being a classically trained singer, Robin Williams was amazing as Genie. The way he sang "Friend like Me" and "Prince Ali" is top-notch.
I think also a lot of people don't realize that Jafar is actually intimidated/afraid of Jasmine and views her as a threat if she takes the throne, implying that he CAN'T hypnotize her, needing to resort to trickery and manipulation.
@kaseyc.johnson9926 I never thought of that, thank you for pointing it out.
Definitely interesting. Maybe he can’t hypnotize women. Or… Team StarKid’s Twisted may be on to something. That Jasmine was adopted and is actually Jafar’s daughter. A father who refuses to cast any magic on their child, but is willing to hide his emotions so that she doesn’t find out the truth.
@@RabbitsFunWorld "Refuses to cast any magic on their child" but isn't against incest?🤨😕🤢🤮
@@justindenney-hall5875 hey, your opinion that it sounds gross. You’ve no idea how popular it is in certain areas of the world, as well as in the history.
@@RabbitsFunWorld
Congratulations you're now on a list...
1:02 I actually learned about the Arabian Nights book in a literature class on tales and fables that I took in college! Rather than a poem, the Arabian Nights is a collection of 1001 stories that an unknown author heard during his travels and wrote down and complied in a book. In most translations of the book a framing device was added of a young woman, Scheherazade, volunteering to marry the king Shahryar. After his first wife cheated on him, Shahryar killed her and then proceeded to marry a new bride every day and beheaded them the next morning before they could "dishonor" him. Scheherazade volunteered to marry him to stop this bloodshed (especially fearful of her younger sister becoming a bride) because she had a plan to stay alive. Every night she would tell the king a story, promising an even more interesting story the next night so he wouldn't behead her. This continued for three years until she had finally told 1001 stories. At that point she told the king that she had no more stories to tell and that he was free to kill her. However, as she had planned, by that point they already had three children and the king had fallen in love with her so he spared her and the two lived happily ever after. (well, that's how the story categorized it but to a modern audience it's pretty clear the king is a giant read flag😅) An episode of the Aladdin TV show actually references this by having Jasmine tell stories to a spoiled prince whose emotions controls the weather, entertaining him so he's in a good mood and doesn't destroy his city.
Fun fact, Aladdin is considered one of the book's "orphan stories." This isn't because Aladdin is an orphan, but because "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" as well as "Alibaba and the 40 Thieves" were stories that weren't in the original Arabian transcript. They were added in a European translation by Jean Antoine Galland and are considered "orphans" because it is still debated which country the stories actually came from.
I knew a little bit of the origins, but this comment was really informative! 👍
Aladdin is one of my favorite characters. He hasn't let his circumstance rob him of his sense of kindness and joy, or his ability to relate to others, or admit his mistakes. He clearly bites off way more than he can chew when he assumes the role of Prince Ali, but he saves the day by remembering that Aladdin is pretty awesome. Because, as Bridesmaid Megan once said, "you are your problem. You are also your solution."
The thing about big cats (like Tigers) is that they purr just like our house cats (or in tigers their case, they do something called chuffing, which sounds just as happy and cute as purring). I know that they are danger kitties, but if they are so dangerous why are they so cute and cuddly?
I dont have the same desire as Stef to hug a tigger but my grandmother loves to play with the pads of my cats feet and she regularly brings up how much she wishes she could play with a tiger's paw to see if they are as soft and squishy. Every time the tiger came up and got gushed over I smiled a little harder thinking of how much she agrees lol 😂
@@krose6451your grandma sounds like a reasonable woman, I completely agree with her those big paws!! Just awww!!
RIP Gilbert Gottfried. I feel like Iago is underrated. The comedic timing is just * *chefs kiss* * So good.
I completely agree. Im glad the budz brought him up.
honestly one of the funniest characters disney has ever had
Jasmine's improv skills are off the charts. Girl takes any opportunity she can to Yes And, hahah
Ah yes, my favourite Disney movie line, "Wake up and smell the homeless" Thanks Sam 😂
All the praise for Robbin Williams in this movie is well deserved, but I wish the rest of the voice acting got more acknowledgment. They all did a solid job but Robbin Williams was so beyond that it gets lost. Gilbert Gottfried especially deserved it for Iago so it really made me happy when the guys brought him up.
Gilbert got an iconic role of a lifetime here. They were initially going with a different direction for Iago's character (more fancypants) but they could not resist writing him differently when they heard Gilbert Gottfried's take on Iago.
Everyone will talk about Robin Williams as the Genie which is 100% ICONIC but also, a shoutout to Gilbert Gottfried who was SUPERB as Iago (one of my favourites) and was taken too soon.
Yes! Iago is underrated. Gilbert's comedic timing and shifting tones voicing him are superb!

I get teary eyed every time Aladdin tells Genie he’ll miss him now ❤
Can we just Appreciate Aladdin's immense Rizz?!? The boy in all of his Broke assness and poverty won over a whole Princess who has only known wealth and luxury. And on his first date as a Prince he took her on a tound the world flight.
Aladdin is HIM😂
Aladdin is a movie I didn’t really appreciate until I became an adult, no reason other than I just couldn’t really get into it outside of Genie. Also I genuinely love all of the intro jokes that Steph does each one makes me smile and you guys always make me laugh and think more on movies even more than I already do which makes the movies much better in my opinion. R.I.P Robin Williams and Gilbert Godfrey.
Ah yes, Robin Williams, the man who was in Jumanji, Hook, Aladdin, Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society. He is dearly missed.
Yes, truly one of the best
Don’t forget Flubber (1997).
The singing voice of Jasmine is the famous Filipina Broadway star Lea Salonga, who also did the singing voice for Mulan ^^
I know it might not suit this channel so if you guys wouldn't feel it appropriate for a reaction, no worries! But I tooootally recommend Team Starkid's play Twisted. It's about Aladdin being told from an alternate perspective and has a Wicked-feel.
49:44 Nice detail that whenever Aladdin lies, the feather in his hat falls down into his face.
RIP, Robin Williams.
No one plays the Genie better than you
We love you.
We miss you.
True ❤️ - Sam
No one does it better than Robin, but I feel that Will Smith did a wonderful job stepping into some huge shoes. I live his Genie as well.
Me and my sisters still have our super nintendo (still works like a dream) and played the Aladdin game just a month ago! The lava level is definetly the hardest to pass! We only passed the level once we hit our 20's lol (I'm 32 now)
I had it on Sega Genesis. mine still works too. that level was/is so hard! my mom helped me beat it when I was a kid
OH SWEET BABY YES, IT'S TIME!
PEAK MOVIE WITH THE PEAK BOIIIIIS
Glad you're hyped 😊 - Sam
During an interview with James Lipton, he had said that Robin Williams actually did 52 voices for this movie. So… Robin was playing with a full deck! 😅 RIP King Robin. 💙💙💙
Homeless vs Hummus and York vs Mork were too funny 😂 Alladin was also my childhood favourite (alongside Mulan) and the soundtrack is the best.
Firstly, I absolutely love that the bulk of the comment section is encouraging you two to watch Twisted! It’s a great parody done by some very passionate people. And some of the songs in the show are top tier.
This is my favorite Disney animated feature. But not because of Robin Williams. Oh, I adore Genie and Robin will forever be my all-time favorite comedian. However, before I knew who Robin Williams really was-I had seen him as Popeye but that was it- I was crushing hard for Steve on the sitcom Full House, I was crazy for that actor’s voice. Granted, this was not new for me. I’ve always led with my ear when it comes to attraction. And there was just something about Scott Weinger’s voice. Then Full House did an episode where DJ(Steve’s girlfriend) went with her family to Disney World and she kept seeing Steve dressed up as different Disney characters, including Aladdin. Turned out this was a huge in-joke because Scott Weinger provided Aladdin’s voice. But I hadn’t seen the movie yet, so imagine my utter gleeful surprise when I watched the film for the first time and heard Scott’s voice come out of Aladdin’s mouth. I was melted butter the entire movie! Especially his delivery when he’s talking about Jasmine. “She’s smart, and fun, and….Beautiful. She’s got these eyes that just, and this hair, wow.” Even today, when Aladdin speaks, I melt.
I also love the Aladdin-Jasmine pairing. She’s a great character in her own right. My favorite Disney Princess. But the chemistry the two actors have is some of the best in Disney history. From the way they are drawn during their interactions, all the subtle visual cues of their attraction to each other, the way Scott and Linda play off each other vocally. Molten Gold. And I swear, I will figuratively die on this hill- Aladdin and Jasmine have the most sexual chemistry out of all the Disney couples. You see a little bit in this movie-their first kiss and the way Jasmine walks away, a little more in the Aladdin TV series, but it’s blatant in Aladdin and the King of Thieves. And I love it. People talk about Nala’s bedroom eyes in Lion King and I’m like….”have you seen Aladdin and the King of Thieves?” So many blink and you’ll miss it moments of unapologetic sexual interest.
Stef, you’re half right about how Carpet was rendered. Randy Cartwright, Carpet’s main animator, did draw it for every frame it’s in. But his version was only the outline. They used computer mapping to lay Carpet’s design on the image. So basically Carpet was animated twice for every second it was on-screen. Once by hand on paper and again using cgi.
Some of my favorite behind the scenes tidbits about this movie:
Johnathan Freeman, the voice actor for Jafar, is terrified of large birds, including parrots.
Jafar did have a villain song called Humiliate the Boy that was cut from the film. It’s not bad, but it is a bit of a character departure from the Jafar we otherwise get, which is why it was axed.
Gilbert Gottfried said once that the best moment of his career was when he ad-libbed the Iago line “and how about this picture? I think I’m making a funny face in it” and when Robin Williams heard it he lost it, laughing like crazy.
Robin’s improv was often x-rated so as he was coming up with his rapid fire witticisms, if he got too adult with a joke there was a person in the recording sessions who would say “It’s Disney” and then ask for a watered down version of the same joke. A particular favorite of the animators was when he was doing the riffs on the peddler’s items and he called a bra a double yamaka. They tried so hard to get that joke in the peddler sequence but Disney wouldn’t sign off.
Sam, that homeless for hummus mishearing is on par with your “I ate ass for you” moment in the Mulan commentary. To make you feel better, I also did not know it was hummus. I thought it was wake up and smell the hopeless until I read the transcript.
I actually read that bc Williams ad libed so much they coulnd quality for best screenplay.
They made the right choice keeping all of his stuff. He brought so much joy to this role. He was amazing. RIP.
The songs, the voice acting, the visuals... all of it sparkles. Great coverage of this movie Budz
Now and even as a kid, Abu always pissed me off 😂 homie really could’ve killed Aladdin AND HIMSELF for a ruby 🫠
One of my favorite lines from the movie is, "Ah! Salaam and good evening to you." I say that all the time. Robin Williams is an absolute legend.
This is going to get buried, but the musical by starkid on TH-cam, Twisted, is amazing and retells the story in such a clever way. Really recommend.
This is such a iconic Disney film that has the best characters and one of the best soundtracks and amazing animation because it combined a lot of different styles and the voice acting on point especially from the late great Gilbert Gottfried and late great Robin Williams as Genie ❤️❤️he made the role his own and nobody not even Will Smith will ever top him 😊😊 love the plan Aladdin came up with to beat Jafar thought it was very clever and in your face kind of moment 😄 thanks for the reaction guys 😁😁👍👍
Agreed! On all fronts 😊
Will Smith still did the role justice. He knew he'd never top Robin, but his personal spin on the character was still good. I imagine it's the same for the Broadway actors taking on the role, those are big shoes and big expectations to fill.
@@toxicginger9936 I agree with you Will did make the role his own and never tried to copy Robin same goes for the a Broadway people too but all I’m saying is I prefer Robin more than anything because of childhood memories.
@@toxicginger9936- I’m disappointed that the live action movie didn’t use Will Smith’s rap version of friend like me in the middle of the movie, because what we got felt like it was trying too hard to ape Robin Williams and it was just bad, but his rap version was pretty good. The people at the top of that production were too cowardly to let him just own it all.
After i watched Twisted, i cant see this movie the same way lol😂 but i am very nostalgic about it ❤
You guys always post on the days when I'm starting a new crochet project now it feels like we're crochet buddies😭❤
The genie is one of, if not the must recognized character Robin Williams played. He didn't just played the character, he became the character, that's why the extressions are so good.
Even so, in the live action Will Smith was worried because in his words he had a huge role to fill, a role Robin Williams left behind.
Ok but here me out...Twisted:the Untold Story of a Royal Vizier is the perfect paring for the original Aladdin
I highly recommend, for your viewing pleasure, Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier by the channel Team Starkid; the whole musical is uploaded for free here on YT^.^ Starkid is always really great at putting a spin on things, but Twisted has to be one of their best, imo. They also really managed to nail to unique feel that the classic princess movies' music sounds~~~
I was looking to see if anyone recommended Twisted, thanks! They'd probably like it
I was literally just about to suggest Twisted!!!! It's so good!! I definitely hope they give it a watch sometime!!!
Would love to see that!
oh, now THIS is a throwback! old scool disney just hits diff :') cheers to another vid, keen to start watching!
Glad you're hyped, thanks for watching 😊 - Sam
Not complaining. It's just weird still hearing this be called old school. To me, old school was Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. I was a teen when this came out!
Love how even jafar looks guilty for trying to decide jasmine’s future haha
My friend: I'm too old to blow birthday candles
Me: *YOU'RE GETTIN YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!!*
Solid work noticing but yes, Jasmine's singing voice is Lea Solanga, who is a well known Broadway legend (most well known for her turns in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables). She also did the singing voice for Mulan in the Disney animated movie. The non singing parts for both are different actresses. Some Disney animated movies have the same voice actor doing the dialogue and singing voices (for example Jodi Benson as Ariel) and in others, they go with different singers and dialogue voice actors, which I like.
Now I have the biggest urge for you to watch Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier by Team Starkid. It's so incredible and with this fresh on the mind, you'd appreciate the level of detail and references they make!
I mean, she nearly had her hand cut off IMMEDIATELY after "stealing" an apple. So the idea that sentences may be carried out quickly and without any sort of due process is something she's already had experience with, so Jafar's story is not entirely implausible. Not to mention the shock of hearing it. She starts out somewhat naive in this movie, as a girl who's never been exposed to anything but the luxury life of a royal daughter (who would not be expected to rule, but to simply be married TO the ruler, and thus not necessarily be taught practical things like law and economics) would be. She learns quickly, as she states, but a lot of this is very new to her, so even she is going to miss a step now and then.
The speaking voice for Jasmine was Linda Larkin, while Lea Salonga sang for Jasmine, and then Mulan.
I still slip “Patience, Iago…” into conversations with people. I used it with my Mom a lot when she was alive. There are many other quotes from this movie but that one is my favorite. 👩🏻🦰👍🏻 I adored Robin Williams and wept when he died. I fell in love with him watching Mork & Mindy when I was a kid. He was an excellent human being.
Lea Salonga did the singing voice for Jasmine, and she was also the singing voice for Mulan. Brad Kane was the singing voice of Aladdin.
This movie is so nice to watch,I watch it over and over again and I never get sick of it❤
It isnt their usual content but I wish theyd watch Starkid's Twisted even if just in their own time, it's such a fun parody of Aladdin!
RIP Robin Williams you are one of the greatest actors of all time.
Aladdin and The Sword in the Stone were the two cassettes my sister and I watched all the time. We would’ve watched each multiple times a day if we had been allowed to, we were so obsessed with them!
Gonna have to rewatch another Robin Williams classic, The Birdcage with Nathan lane. Funny and has so much heart, definitely one of my favorites of his
The "Dead Sea tupperware" - joke is referencing tupperware (a line of high quality water- and airtight kitchen ware that won fame by selling through "house parties"). The "thing" about tupperware was that the lids were designed to that you could create a tight seal and keep food fresh longer by "burping" the containers (i.e. squeezing out air).
My forever fave! My parents love to tell the story of taking my little brother and me to see this in theaters when we were 3 and 4 because we absolutely hated it then. Fast forward, it's in my top 2 (with Remember the Titans) and we know all the words. I once monologued the first 45 minutes of the movie in my head during a particular boring day at my summer internship more than a decade ago lmao.
It’s one of those movies I watched non-stop as a kid. Apparently as a kid, I would regularly just reenact the movie from heart while like out at the mall or something. I can still quote the entire thing word for word, beat for beat, today. It’s kind of funny some of the things they said in this video about plot holes, fridge horror, and the like, because I have literally never considered it before, despite knowing the movie by heart, lol.
@@Tustin2121 I love that! And yeah, I always just watched it as is, I don’t think real deep about this movie lol
I can never watch this movie the same way after seeing Twisted, lol
I was looking for a comment about Twisted!❤
This movie always makes me laugh and miss Robin Williams even more. 😢 There will never be anyone who comes close to his genius! “Often imitated…but never duplicated”….indeed!! Thanks, Budz !
The one glaring plot hole to me in this movie is that Aladdin didn’t wish to look like a prince, he wished *TO BE* a prince. So genie should’ve literally turned him into royalty and basically Aladdin wouldn’t have ever lied about being a prince.
Funny thing is Gilbert Gottfried didn't naturally sound like that, but his stage voice was so distinct and used so often that people would joke with him that his normal voice made him sound like a serial killer. You can find a comparison on TH-cam, and it's weird how different it is.
BloodylocksBathory Yeah, there are a lot of comedians like that, for example Larry The Cable Guy (Real name Daniel Lawrence Whitney) in real life doesn't have as thick of a southern twang to his voice, he's not even from the south but he went to college in Florida which is where it comes from, another example Bobcat Goldthwait and also the actress Megan Mullally who most people don't know doesn't really sound like her character "Karen Walker" from the sitcom "Will and Grace" .
@@justindenney-hall5875 Indeed. I remember Megan Mullally returning to that voice when she did the stage musical version of Young Frankenstein.
Controversial opinion but I think the 3rd Aladdin movie (Aladdin and the King of Thieves) is the BEST out of the three. Yes it was poorly animated but that’s just because it was a straight to VHS film
Omg I LOVED that one as a child! It was my Blockbuster go to movie when I didn't know what to get. The story is awesome!
Aladdin was my disney prince crush as a kid.along wit prince phillip
Rest in peace to robin Williams, he'll always be remembered for playing the genie and other films. And also to Gilbert Gottfried who played Lago who had died recently. He will be forever missed.🥀😭😔💫💔🙏
Arabian horses are typically well known for their endurance and stamina and speed, yes, as well as one of the most recognizable frames in the horse world due to their high set tail and their famous dished heads. They are also one of the few breeds that allow children under 18 to show stallions as they are typically even tempered horses due to selective breeding. Prized war mares slept in tents with their owners' own children. Okay, horse geeking is over, lol.
I give props to Jasmine for really getting into her role and playing along with Aladdin in the market, down to the dreamy 'hello, doctor, how are you' and the blank smile she gives him as he guides her away, just totally owning being the 'crazy sister'.
“But you’re so old” is still so funny
I still can’t believe how young the singing voice (brad kane) was when he did this film. He was only 17, 18 when he did this. Incredible opportunity!
I love that you guys appear to have forgotten that like parrots talk and imitate people 😂 It wouldn’t be that weird that Jafar talks to him since basically talking to them a lot is what teaches them how to talk. And he could perfectly imitate Jasmine’s voice.
Wait did they just breeze past the bit where the crowd joyfully sings "he's got slaves" during "Prince Ali"? I thought they would've had something to say about that.
This was my favorite disney movie growing up (mulan being second). Being able to grow up with Robin Williams on my screen as a kid was a gift
33:51 I used to think Jafars neck and face were two different skin tones! I didn't know it was part of his clothes 😂
I love this movie. I was six months old when this movie came out. Being on the autism spectrum. I used to watch certain movies over and over as a kid. Frank Welker has been voicing Fred in Scooby-Doo since 1969 and was also the voice of Abu, Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders in this movie. He's also the current voice of Scooby-Doo.
I can't wait for the day when they get to Spirit: the Stallion of the Cimarron - if they're also doing DreamWorks movies! :)
Rest in peace both Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried
Gottfried is dead?? Ah, what a shame. I miss the both of them.
@@stuffwithsoph8264 We lost him April last year. RIP. Iago is my favorite he's ever done.
For the opening scene with the merchant, Robin Williams had to stand in front of a table covered with a cloth, and was told to just react to whatever he pulled out.
Meaning yes, there's a good chance he did break something.
That makes the scene funnier 😂
Jasmine's singing voice is the same person as Mulan's singing voice, Lea Salonga. She performed on Broadway and West End. She was several roles in Les Mis and originated the lead role in Miss Saigon.
I STILL have my SNES and SNES Aladdin game, the carpet level was so difficult to us kids back then. I'm hella gonna play it again.
No joke but I was thinking about you two reacting to aladdin, love you guys for doing this!
Sam, Steph, mates, thank you both for covering one of my favourite Disney Movies of all time, you guys are the best.
grew up watching this and love it a lot and its sad he's gone
“You’re tall, well… dressed”
That’s one way of saying it!
It is time to recommend Twisted: The Untold Story of a Royal Vizier by Starkid.
Disney had a chance to give South Asians, Middle Eastern people and Africans a great costume storytelling moment and what did we get? Go girl give us nothing.
I mean a lot of people including my birth middle eastern family love this movie along with millions of others. So it was giving just not to you
@@cloeshay87Agree to disagree.
yeahhh disney literally did not care, especially in the 90s. like pocahuntas too??? they were full a shit
“Wake up and smell the homeless”
Lol I don’t think I’ve seen you two laugh that hard since New Moon lol
4:04 and this is the reason Jafar didn’t go with him. 55:32 see if he would’ve said something to Jasmine about the Genie then he could’ve used his last wish to stay a prince and she could’ve taken control of the lamp and wished him free. They already show that whoever grabs the lamp gets the three wishes even though they seem make it that only Aladdin and Jafar are able to make wishes.
ALSO, since Abu could enter the cave despite NOT being the "diamond in the rough", couldn't Iago have just gone in and gotten the lamp and saved Jafar the entire movie? Like, we wouldn't have had a hero or anything, Jafar would just be the sultan and that's it. 🤣
I am SO exited for this
I played the Aladdin game on the Sega Genesis and can confirm, that section was hard. Most of the Disney video games from that era slapped.
Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies. It's so magical, great songs, funny moments and crazy actions. RIP to both Robin Williams and Gilbert Gottfried. You guys should do the trilogy
🧞♂️🧞♂️🧞♂️😢😢😢🤣🤣🤣
Hey buds, I'm relatively new to your stuff, and it's fun to watch and listen to your commentary.
Hope you have a great day.
"Whenever someone calls you a snake that's not something to be proud of" Sam isn't a Taylor Swift fan clearly 😂
I always thought he said, “ wake up and smell the homeless“ as well 😂
My dad's quote from this movie was "poof! what-do-you-need?"
22:30 what if the real treasure is the friends we make along the way
How does one become (Magically) a prince.
I still love and still own the movie
Nice, it's a classic 😊 - Sam
Thanks guys!
No worries, thanks for supporting us! 😊 - Sam
I feel like you guys would like Starkid's Twisted. It's a parody retelling of Aladdin from Jafar's POV. Jeff Blim (this man would be a great Joker) wrote the music and acts in it. Now anytime I watch Aladdin I have "It's all you fault Jafar," stuck in my head.
This is my favorite Disney movie only second to Lion King. You two killed this review. 10/10
Thanks so much 😊 - Sam
I get why I had to watch this again. Self worth and self confidence is very important. And be honest and be yourself you are enough. Cool
