A salesman threatens to cut off Jasmine's hand after she gives an apple to a hungry child, but Aladdin intervenes before anything happens.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Mild

1/5

Aladdin wears a sleeveless vest leaving his chest bare for most of the film. Jasmine's outfit exposes her shoulders, midriff, navel, and a small amount of cleavage. During the Friend Like Me number, the Genie conjures shapely women in revealing outfits who dance suggestively. Abu briefly mimics a seductive woman by swinging his hips and batting his eyelashes, played for laughs.

The Review

Written by Parent Guide Plus Editors

Aladdin is a Disney animated film from the Renaissance era, widely praised for its animation, soundtrack, and Robin Williams' performance as the Genie. The romance and overall tone are broadly well-received, though some critics find Aladdin's dishonesty an unappealing character trait and the writing predictable.
