Arts UP YOUR AEI Aladdin. • Odeon Cinema

etinitels the best bit of American animation about the mystic Last since Bugs Bunny and the 1001 Arabian Nights, Aladdin is Dthe latest of Disney's computer assisted cartoon movies, and as such has a lot to live up to in the wake of Beauty :'and The Beast. It does so admirably, superceding that film. The plot is standard boy meets girl stuff. Our hero (Aladdin, 'natcht must overcome all kinds of obstacles to win the hand of fair Princess Jasmine, armed only with some vintage Disney magic. The real joy with this film though. is not the story, but the characters who populate it. Never mind Aladdin, who's too damn nice for anything but a Walt Disney vehicle, and Jasmine, who's the latest of Disney's oh-so- politically-correct, independently minded heroines. It's the non-human characters who provide the real entertainment. There's the awesome Cave of Wonder; had guy Jafar's world weary parrot sidekick - he's as sick as... ; a bashful magic carpet with a penchant for chess and - oh!, did I forget to mention it? - a colossal, blue genie voiced by Robin Williams. The only thing faster than Williams in full flow is a Disney animator matching him image for word. The monologues and corresponding visuals which steal the picture are highly imaginitive and very funny. The Genie is Disney's best creation in years and needs to be given his own film, pronto. And if that wasn't enough there's a cool cameo from Pinocchio too. IlioMitt is enormous fun, and even hoary. old cynics should be able to see beyond the crass commercialism and enjoy it for what it is: Full of Eastern promise!! Matthew Goodman

If soulful music was a health risk, even the most neurotic of hypochondriacs would have nothing to fear from kindly Mr Neville. The album is roughly equally divided between undoubted festive classics like, "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow" and "White Christmas" whose 33's similarity was worringly reassunng.They were balanced by a host of unfamiliar titles like "Louisiana Christmas Day" which were unmistakenly banal, Festive recordings traditionally try to cater to as wide a potential audience as possible, Bjork Debut inevitably leading to a one sided compromise between artistic integrity and the Pet Shop Boys Very allure of mass markets.
