Aladdin is a beloved animated musical fantasy film from Disney, based on the classic Arabic folktale. It tells the story of a street urchin named Aladdin who discovers a magic lamp and a Genie, using his wishes to become a prince and win the heart of Princess Jasmine, while battling the evil sorcerer Jafar. The film is known for its captivating story, catchy songs, and memorable characters, particularly the humorous Genie. It explores themes of honesty, courage, friendship, and the dangers of greed, making it a family-friendly adventure with positive moral messages. While generally suitable for a broad audience, some intense and frightening scenes may require parental guidance for younger viewers.

Additional Context

Best For Ages

Recommended for children aged 6 and up. The film contains several intense and scary scenes, along with moderate fantasy violence, which may be too frightening for children under 5 years old. Parental guidance is advised for children aged 5-6 years due to these elements.

Good to Know

The 2019 live-action adaptation of Aladdin generally maintains similar themes and concerns as the 1992 animated original but is noted by some sources as having slightly less explicit violence, fewer revealing outfits, and cleaner language. It also has a longer runtime.
