Blu-ray Review
Aladdin
Directed by: Ron Clements, John Musker Cast: Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Gilbert Gottfried Running Time: 1 hr 30 mins Rating: G Due Out: October 13, 2015
PLOT: A street urchin (Weinger) falls for a beautiful princess (Larkin). He then uses a genie's (Williams) magic power to make himself a prince in order to marry her.
WHO'S IT FOR? Everyone, of course. Plus, this is one of Williams' signature roles, so the fact that you get a little extra from the extras about his wonderful performance, makes this Diamond Edition a must buy.
