Aladdin

Ron Clements, John Musker · 1992 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A street thief in Agrabah who lives on stolen bread is picked by the sultan's vizier to enter a cave that will admit one kind of person only, and comes out with a lamp whose occupant grants three wishes and never stops talking. He spends the first on being made a prince, so that he can court a princess the law forbids him. Disney built the picture around Robin Williams improvising.
