It is very corny, but I have loved it since the first time I saw it! I special ordered the vhs way back when, and it cost me $60 cuz it was a special order! Crazy or what! Saw the movie years ago when it first came out and my daughter and i both loved it. Bought one for her AND one for me. Lots of my family members loved it too. If you like quirkey, comedic, musical spoofs this is DEFINATELY for you. Good for the whole family and you can't say that very often anymore. I absolutely love this movie. Though it is far fetched, it's from the 80's, so what would you expect. I love the chemistry between Chris Atkins and Kristy McNichol and I'd love it if they made a sequel to this movie. I used to watch this as a teen and I loved the romance of it all. The music is great, there is some dece... see description |

And how could it be otherwise? Why should material so perfectly realized in one medium necessarily translate well into another? The series is crisply and thoughtfully executed in just about every detail, but the heart of its appeal lies in the elegant handling of complicated and evolving ongoing story lines, which is not something movies are especially good at. Martin Landau offers the agents some crucial clues, and several familiar TV faces (including the Lone Gunmen and Mitch Pileggi's indispensable Assistant Director Skinner) turn up briefly to wink knowingly at faithful fans. They uncover a new wrinkle in the Syndicate/Cancer Man conspiracy--basically an attempt to help one bunch of (benign?) aliens fight off another bunch who want to colonize Earth. We do get some invigorating thr... see description |

Even if one isn't particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom Keogh . The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skillAladdin is among the Disney greats. A good, clean, yet exciting story for the younger audience and still plenty of ... see description |

I bought this movie for my two oldest children back in the mid-90s. I've since lost my VHS copy and had hoped to purchase it on DVD for my daughter who is now six.
The plot was engaging and funny, while there were no swear words or gratuitous violence to contend with. The movie also included excellent cinematography that made the setting (a fictional European country) seem real.
It truly amazes me that this movie isn't on DVD!
...the other two being Lord of the Rings trilogy and "Wind in the Willows." I am very wary of movies that are made from great books because they never seem to be able to recapture the joy and feeling that you experienced while reading. However, this is one of the few movies that actually does and improves on the book while doing it! The acting is simply s... see description |

The suburban teen is contending with his celebrity status as the star of an action series called Silverstone, while struggling with his offstage persona as a regular coming-of-age kid. Young and Duff are exceptionally good, and the martial arts sequences sizzle. There are villains to conquer--namely Dr. For Jett it's all in a day's work, even under threat of an expiring contract. (Ages 10 to 15) --Lynn Gibson . Hit with an electrical jolt, Jett is thrust into another dimension, trading bodies with his alter ego, Silverstone. Kragg and his sinister plan to raze the world--and hearts to win--primarily, Jett's faithful friend Kayla (Kerry Duff).
