Aladdin (1992), revisiting Robin Williams catalogue My lovely wife and I watched Aladdin on Valentine's Day, and it felt like the perfect evening.

Williams' Genie is just the best. The performance is manic...

The script is punchy, well w...

The Lion King will always have that spot in my heart, but I also visited this story set in Agrabah dozens of times. Now, with the 2019’s remake about to premiere, I rewatched it last night and, once again, I fell in love. Honestly, I didn’t r...
