Indeed. Arguably one of the best Disney animated movies ever.

The first time I saw this scene where his jaw dropped I literally LOL'd for 10 minutes. I had to rewind and re-watch the scene numerous times.

Fantastic scene indeed.

I'd also like to add that Aladdin spawned two fantastic video games for both the Sega and Super Nintendo. Both games are completely different too.

I still own both of those on their original consoles. I actually played the Genesis one (the better of the two) a few weeks ago for a nice shot of nostalgia.

Speaking of Nintendo games based off of movies, did you guys ever play the Roger Rabbit game? Sorry I know this is completely off topic but I loved that game growing up :lol:

Aladdin and Run Lola Run are tied for fourth place. Both are great, hope the tie is broken either way before this closes tomorrow.

Damn right it is!

Yes, but I have bad memory associated with that game and I've never revisited it because of it. My parents rented a Nostradamus movie and it scared the shit out of me. I remember playing the NES Roger Rabbit game after watching the movie. Enough time has passed and the world didn't blow up like the movie said it would, although we certainly came close. I should give it another shot.

I do remember the game being pretty tricky as well.
