I love Aladdin. My dad took me to see it on my birthday when I was a kid. He was dirt poor and couldn’t really buy me many gifts, but that whole evening was great. The movie was totally entertaining from A to Z, (lol at the Tupperware part in the beginning) and that’s without the nostalgia behind it. It was a special birthday that made me realize a lot of things, and for the longest time after that I totally liked to think I could relate to Aladdin and his street rat status.
Plus you gotta love the genie. He cracked me up so much haha, and that was pretty sad near the end when he almost didn’t get freed, even if Aladdin promised he would. But it turned out all right in the end, so that was awesome. I also love how Aladdin and Jasmine’s relationship builds and progresses. I thought that was completely sweet. The phase between Al and the genie from slave to friendship also amazed me.
Plus, Yaggo FTW.
I’ll always love the movie, but I have two other Disney movies I really love. The Huncheback of Notre Dame is dark and mature, and I was quite amazed with it. In my opinion, Frollo is one of the most dastardly Disney villains ever. I love how he has a bit of a backdrop, and they present him as a tortured soul, rather than just a bad guy because the movie needs a bad guy. Granted, the first time I saw that movie I was all fucked on LSD haha. I was all like…that old man is actually a goat OMG okay NO. That was that part where Esmeralda’s pet goat was dressed up as a beggar lol.
I also love Mulan. It’s so epic and great. Cross dressing samurai chicks, w00t. I really love the soundtrack for it, too, one of the better Disney ones, in my opinion.
