Advantages: good all round family fun

Disadvantages: for younger children and parents

This is a special edition of the original disney film about a princess who's dad wants to marry her to a rich prince, although as the story evolves we find it is the kings aide who wants to control the world and tries to marry the princess himself so he will be king. But true love steps in and eventually Aladdin, who is a lonely street boy finds a magic lamp containing a genie and convinces people he is a rich prince and gains access to the princess. From the first meeting they seem to fall in love. At the end the kings aide is banished to his own magic lamp and the genie who helped aladdin is freed. Aladdin and the princess jasmine live happily ever after.
The DVD its self contains lots of added extras, from audio commentary from the filmakers and animators. there is fun for the children with a section which allows them to sing along to the songs play the music videos and pop up fun facts. There is also a 3D tour of the genies lamp and a virtual magic carpet ride.
As with many special editions there are deleted scenes and in this instance deleted songs. There are also documentations detailing how the film was made (brillant for film students)
The DVD offers so much more to than the film which by itself is a wonderful film. The added bonuses are fantastic.

Summary: more than just a fantastic film. The bonus things are amazing
