Aladdin: Special Edition (2004, DVD)

This is the third and final Menken / Rice masterpiece, the first two being The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

Same basic Disney plot - you can always expect a happy ending!

The score and vocals are breathtakingly beautiful - Disney really pushed the creative envelope on this one, and won!

I remember falling in love with this over ten years ago - I still have the first edition CD and VHS. You'll love it on DVD, and so will your children!

The product was new as advertised and had never been opened. A great purchase! I bought it for my college bound daughter so she would enjoy the movie on DVD since all of our movies are on VHS.

I bought this movie as a birthday present for my little sister. We both loved the movie very much. I was able to get a Disney movie that is rare to stores around my area, at a cheap price. The movie is great, and my whole family was able to sit around and enjoy it.

Love Disney movies, this is a classic!!! Nice that you can watch it in English, Spanish, or French...We are trying to teach our daughter to speak Spanish, and this helps because she is hearing this great movie in another language!!

This a total classic and great for all ages. I loved it when I was little and I still love it 15 years later.

Great product very cheap cant really complain but the shipping was really fast and awesome......A pluss to this seller

Bought Aladdin DVD a while ago, and was impressed by the product fitting the description exactly. My kids love it and watch it all the time. I was very glad that I could find it here at such a reasonable price.

Happy, received just what I ordered. Order was shipped out very quickly.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for your wonderful customer service - fast delivery; item in great condition as described. Great doing business with you!

Out of ALL the DISNEY Love stories, I thought this was the BEST! My daughters fell in LOVE with Alladin, and pretended to be Jasmine whenever it was on. The music is FABULOUS, your little one will memorize all the words and be singing along the next time they watch. I wish Disney would put out some more FAMILY movies like this one.

Not to be missed! A REAL CLASSIC MOVIE! A+

This is a wonderful light hearted family movie that I have watched over and over with my children. What a wonderful love story. For being make believe there is a lot of lessons to be learned in this movie.

It was everything you claimed and quick service. My daughter has wanted this movie for a while and we were completely satisfied. You have great items and you are very honest. The dvd was in excellent condition. Thank you for selling on ebay. I will be back for more.

Disney's first of a series of 3 (maybe more by now). Great movie for kids and adults as well. Hard to find in stores at this time. Highly recommend.

I don't have a lot of the Platnium Edition Disney DVD's that have been released in the past couple of years and now that they are not avaliable in stores where else to find them besides Ebay?lol The DVD was previously owned as described on the main page for the item,even then the DVD was in great condition!I recieved it within three days of making my payment and I wasn't expecting it for an additional two days so I was very pleased with the delivery time.

Disney classic that is always fun to watch! I decided to buy it because I need to update my DVD collection.

Excellent! I received an email from the seller notifying me when they shipped my item - which, by the way, was the very next day! I received it in less than a week and matched the description. I'm very impressed and would do business with this seller again.

I was very pleased with these items. they were very good quality and taken care of. no scratches a couple fingerprints but nothing magor. i have kids as well so fingerprints happen. thank u again . very good

Aladdin" continued Disney's hot streak of family friendly but witty animated classics that broke box office records. Unfortunately, the magic was to last for a couple more movies. No small part of the success of "Aladddin" can be attributed to the songwriting team of Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. Menken and Ashman (who also wrote the winning songs for "Beauty and The Beast" and "Little Shop of Horrors"). Also, the witty self assured direction, like that of "Beauty and The Beast", helped define a hip, new Disney that had something for everyone.

So what's the difference between the "Special Editon" and the "Special Edition Gift Set". Plenty but as to whether it's worth the extra cost depends on how much of a fan you are of the film. The "Special Edition" comes only with the DVDs (the featurettes and documentaries are discussed below). The "Special Edition Gift Set" comes with all that plus six original illustrations on heavy stock of characters from the film. You also get a deluxe book that's housed in a slipcase. It's very nice, indeed. Now, if I were Disney I also would have included the soundtrack and also made this edition a numbered, limited edition. While it might grow in value until the next generation of disc players come out and this is re-released yet again for Blu-Ray discs, it would have been better for fans to do a limited numbered edition. Oh, and I forgot the film frame from the original movie.

"Aladdin" looks great on DVD with sharp, clear images and bright, vivid colors. I didn't detect any analog or digital blemishes worth noting. The Disc looks even better than the laserdisc version issued nearly a decade ago and worlds better than the VHS with crisper, clearer sound and a much cleaner more vivid (and colorful)picture. The "Disney Enhanced" 5.1 soundtrack actually improves the dialogue and songs giving them better clarity and added presence.

The extras are a mixed bag but most of them are well worth having. There's deleted scenes presented in rough pencil animation, deleted songs highlighted by the terrific "Proud of Your Boy". Clay Aiken sings a version of the song for a music video. We also get "A Whole New World" performed by the dipsy duo of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. The two hour "A Diamond in the Rough" is a fascinating glimpse behind-the-scenes of this marvelous movie. We also get to see scenes from the deleted storyline for the film. Pop-up trivia facts can also be programmed to play on the DVD player as well. The two audio commentary tracks feature the directors and producer of the film while the second has some very funny commentary from the various character animators involved in the film.

"Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride" is the best of the extras included here. It's actually not a game per se but a magic carpet ride that's best experienced on as big a TV as possible with the lights out. It's as close to a thrill ride ever presented on home video. "Inside the Genie's Lamb" is a mildly interesting and entertaining glimpse into the Genie's habitat. We also get "Genie World Tour". This bit of whimsy is fun and Disney directors actually entertained the notion of putting it on during the end credits at one time. It's clever and a witty short. "3 Wishes Game" might keep little ones entertained once or twice although some little ones will need help operating the DVD remote to play the game. Parents stay close by so the kids don't throw the remote at the TV in frustration. You can also select your favorite "A
