Critics are mixed on this lavish spectacle, with Kristin Chenoweth's star turn widely praised but the book criticized for lacking emotional depth. The $14 million production dazzles visually, though some find it overlong and dramatically uneven.
Critics find Aladdin a visually spectacular but formulaic Disney adaptation that delivers solid family entertainment without breaking new ground. James Monroe Iglehart's exuberant Genie performance and the magic carpet scene earn widespread praise.
