Goofs

As Aladdin walks down the streets searching for a job, he crosses paths with the same exact man twice; or two different men created from the same exact animation cels. The first time, the man practically ignores him and sends him away, the second time he stops to listen to him.

Aladdin: What's the matter, mother?

Aladdin: Death beneath the hoofs of stampeding cam- who thinks up these things?

"Bad Movie" to the 3rd Degree

Generally, when one watches a bad movie, it is in one of two categories: i) it is bad in a funny way, or ii) it is so bad that it isn't enjoyable, even to poke fun. This movie, however, transcends "normal bad" and becomes "Bad to the 3rd Degree," or "so bad that if you are not personally pained while laughing so hard, you aren't paying enough attention." From the paper-thin plot (pretty much the entire plot is on the back of the case, simply without the dialog and supposed wit), to the many continuity errors, to the over-all terrible production value, my friends and I highly enjoyed the hilarity that ensued.

On the whole this movie made my stomach hurt from laughing, and my psyche from awe-inspiring lack of effort. Sadly, 1/10 is the lowest I can give this movie.
