Aladdin.” That’s all well and good, but to say that it wears the influence of the Disney version of that story on its sleeve is to put it mildly indeed, with Long’s attitude and antics reminiscent of
Robin Williams and sequences that feel shamelessly lifted from that film both in dialogue and content. That said, the final section of the movie does offer a meaningful twist that gives it more of its own identity, and the kung fu action is a lot of fun.
