Hop a carpet and fly with us to Agrabah as we tackle another one of Disney’s heaviest hitters during its Renaissance era, Aladdin!
Don’t miss:
- The stellar character development we get for an unusually large number of characters
- How this movie’s entire soundtrack has lasted the test of time in both fan memory and history books, even without a true “I Want” song
- A discussion of the film’s beautiful but inconsistent theming, particularly with regard to specific cultural references
- Our final score for the film, which cracks the top three!
PLUS, we talk through all the thoughts our audience had when they watched the movie, including debunking a pesky urban legend sent in by fellow podcaster Nick.
