It never quits entertaining. I spent a good part of the evening scrolling through movies. I was going to give up watching a movie Sunday night. Then at around midnight I found it near the bottom of the list of movies I saw that turned up when searching for the version of Aladdin that Robin Williams voiced Aladdin in. He's in this movie, can't miss him. I am sure his humor is missed by many people even this year today. I remember I talked about Mr. Williams expressing how he, like many actors, get some of their characteristic for the character they are playing from studying real people, the day before he died.

My kids think it is a boring adult movie, but once the Baron shows up they have a change of opinion. This is quite a fantastical fairy tale (and in the movies it is much needed) a few things are not for small childrens eyes like the Sultans harem, but once you make it past that part its ok for the little ones imo.

Stunning visuals (you can really see where the budget went)! Watch it when you're in the mood to be engrossed in a movie and pay attention, if you're too distracted you'll have difficulty figuring out what's going on in the Baron's epic journey. A little like a kid friendly Philip K Dick.
