Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical family film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Aladdin was the 31st animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and was part of the Disney film era known as the Disney Renaissance. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, and is based on the Arab folktale of Aladdin and the magic lamp from One Thousand and One Nights. The voice cast features Scott Weinger, Jonathan Freeman, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried, and Douglas Seale.
Lyricist Howard Ashman first pitched the idea, and the screenplay went through three drafts before Disney president Jeffrey Katzenberg agreed to its production. The animators based their designs on the work of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, and computers were used for both colouring and creating some animated elements. The musical score was written by Alan Menken and features six songs with lyrics written by both Ashman and Tim Rice, who took over after the former's death.
Aladdin was released on November 25, 1992 to positive reviews and was the most successful film of 1992, earning over $217 million in revenue in the United States, and over $504 million worldwide. The film also won many awards, most of them for its soundtrack. Aladdin's success led to many material inspired by the film such as two direct-to-video sequels, The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, an animated television series, toys, video games, spin-offs, and merchandise.
Jafar, Grand Vizier to the Sultan of Agrabah, is attempting to retrieve a magical oil lamp containing a genie from the Cave of Wonders. After seeing a petty thief's failed attempt to enter the cave, Jafar and his parrot, Iago, learn that only a "Diamond in the Rough" can enter the cave.
Jasmine, the Sultan's daughter, frustrated with her life in the palace, flees to Agrabah's marketplace. There she meets street rat Aladdin and his monkey, Abu. The two discover they have a lot in common. When Aladdin is detained for thievery, Jasmine orders him released, but Jafar lies to her that Aladdin has been executed.
Disguised as an elder, Jafar releases Aladdin and Abu from prison and leads them to the Cave of Wonders. The tiger-shaped head of the cave says to touch nothing but the lamp. Aladdin and Abu enter the cave, where a magic carpet guides them to the lamp. Abu's attempt to steal a ruby causes the cave to start collapsing, but the carpet flies them to the entrance. As Aladdin delivers the lamp, Jafar tries to kill him, but Abu bites Jafar in the arm and gets the lamp back as he, the carpet, and Aladdin fall back into the cave just as it closes.
In the collapsed cave, Aladdin rubs the lamp, unexpectedly unleashing a genie, who reveals he will grant Aladdin three wishes—with the exception of murder, romance, or revival of the dead. Aladdin tricks the Genie into freeing them from the cave without using a wish. While contemplating his wishes, Genie admits he would wish for freedom, since he is a prisoner to his lamp. Aladdin promises to free the Genie for his last wish. After talking about Jasmine with the Genie, Aladdin decides to use his first wish to become a prince so he can woo Jasmine.
Aladdin returns to Agrabah just as Jafar tries to trick the Sultan into arranging a marriage between himself and Jasmine. When Aladdin parades into the Sultan's palace as "Prince Ali", Jasmine rejects Ali as a suitor. Despite the Genie's suggestion that Aladdin to tell the princess who he really is, Aladdin remains as a suave prince, and takes Jasmine around the world on the magic carpet. During the trip, Jasmine exposes Ali as a commoner, Aladdin, and demands the truth from him. Aladdin instead fabricates a story that he sometimes dresses as a commoner to escape palace life. The couple kisses as Aladdin returns her home.
Afterwards, Aladdin is captured by Jafar and thrown into the ocean, but the Genie rescues Aladdin as his second wish. Aladdin returns to the palace and exposes Jafar's plot; and Jafar flees after noticing the lamp in Aladdin's possession, realizing who Aladdin is. As Aladdin gets doubtful about revealing who really is, Iago steals the Genie's lamp and brings it to Jafar, who becomes the Genie's new master. Jafar uses his first two wishes to become Sultan and the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Using his new powers, Jafar forces Jasmine and her father to bow, exposes Aladdin as a street rat, then exiles him and Abu to a frozen wasteland.
Aladdin uses the magic carpet to return to Agrabah, where Jafar has imprisoned both Jasmine and the Sultan as his slaves. Jasmine distracts Jafar with a seductive act as Aladdin tries to steal back the lamp, but Jafar confronts him. He imprisons Jasmine in a large hourglass and turns himself into an enormous cobra. As Jafar traps Aladdin in his coils, he boasts to be "the most powerful being on Earth", which causes Aladdin to shout out that the Genie is more powerful. Faced with this realization, Jafar uses his final wish to become a genie. However, Jafar discovers that genies are not free entities as he is sucked into a black lamp, dragging Iago with him. The Genie flicks the lamp into the Cave of Wonders.
After Aladdin realizes that he cannot keep pretending to be something he is not, he decides to keep his promise and wish for the Genie's freedom. Seeing Jasmine's love for Aladdin, the Sultan changes the law to allow her to marry whomever she deems worthy. The newly free Genie leaves to explore the world while Aladdin and Jasmine celebrate their engagement.
Cast and charactersEdit
- Main article: List of Disney's Aladdin characters
- Scott Weinger as Aladdin: A poor but kind-hearted Agrabah thief. Weinger sent in a homemade audition tape with his mother playing the Genie,[2] and after several call backs he found six months later that he had the part.[3] The character's singing voice was provided by Brad Kane, who would also perform the speaking voice before Weinger was cast.[4]
- Robin Williams as The Genie/The Narrator: A comedic genie, with nigh omnipotent power that can only be exercised when his master wishes it. Clements and Musker wrote the part of the Genie for Williams, and when met with resistance created a reel of Williams' standup to animation of the Genie. When Williams watched the video, he "laughed his ass off" and agreed to do the project.[5]
- Jonathan Freeman as Jafar: The power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah. Jafar was originally envisioned as an irritable character, but the directors decided that a calm villain would be scarier.[6] Freeman was the first actor cast, and spent one year and nine months recording his dialogue. He later readjusted his voice after Weinger and Larkin were cast as he felt "Jafar had to be seen as a real threat to Aladdin and Jasmine".[7] Animator Andreas Deja tried to incorporate Freeman's facial expressions and gesturing into the character.[8]
- Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine: The princess of Agrabah, who is tired of life in the royal palace. Larkin was chosen nine months after her audition, and had to adjust her pitch to reach the voice the filmmakers were looking for the character.[6] Lea Salonga, who was performing Miss Saigon on Broadway at the time, supplies the character's singing voice.[9]
- Frank Welker as Abu: Aladdin's kleptomaniac pet monkey with a high-pitched voice. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have.[6] In the three years it took to record the film, Welker did not meet Weinger or Williams.[10] Welker also voiced Jasmine's tiger Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders.[11]
- Gilbert Gottfried as Iago: Jafar's sarcastic, foul-mouthed pet parrot sidekick. Iago's animator Will Finn tried to incorporate some aspects of Gottfried's appearance into Iago's design, specially his semi-closed eyes and the always-appearing teeth.[6]
- Douglas Seale as The Sultan: The pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah, who desperately tries to find a suitor for his daughter Jasmine. Some aspects of the character were inspired in the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority figure.[6]
- Jim Cummings as Razoul: The Captain of the Guard. He was named after layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani.[6]
- The Magic Carpet is a sentient carpet who is able to fly. Animator Randy Cartwright described working on the Carpet as challenging, since it is just a square shape, who expresses himself through pantomime – "It's sort of like acting by origami".[12] Cartwright kept folding a piece of cloth while animating to see how to position the Carpet.[12] After the character animation was done, the carpet's surface design was applied digitally.[8]
Script and developmentEdit
In 1988, lyricist Howard Ashman pitched to Disney the idea of an animated musical adaptation of Aladdin. After Ashman wrote some songs with partner Alan Menken and a film treatment,[13] a screenplay was written by Linda Woolverton, who had worked on Beauty and the Beast.[14] Then directors John Musker and Ron Clements joined the production, picking Aladdin out of three projects offered, which also included an adaptation of Swan Lake and King of the Jungle – that eventually became The Lion King.[15]
Musker and Clements wrote a draft of the screenplay, and delivered it to studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg in 1991. Katzenberg thought the script "didn't engage", and only approved it after the screenwriting duo Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio rewrote it.[13] Among the changes, the character of Aladdin's mother was removed, Princess Jasmine was made into a stronger character, Aladdin's personality was rewritten to be "a little rougher, like a young Harrison Ford,"[13][16] and the parrot Iago, originally conceived as a "British" calm and serious character, was reworked into a comic role after the filmmakers saw Gilbert Gottfried in Beverly Hills Cop II. Gottfried was cast to provide Iago's voice.[17] Several characters and plot elements are also based on the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad,[18][19] and many aspects of the traditional story were changed for the film – for instance, the setting is changed from "China" to a fictional Arabian city, Agrabah.[20]
Design and animationEdit
One of the first issues that the animators faced during production of Aladdin was the depiction of Aladdin himself.[22] Director and producer John Musker explains:
|In early screenings, we played with him being a little bit younger, and he had a mother in the story. [...] In design he became more athletic-looking, more filled out, more of a young leading man, more of a teen-hunk version than before.[22]
He was initially going to be as young as 13, but that eventually changed to eighteen.[22] Aladdin was designed by a team led by supervising animator Glen Keane, and was originally made to resemble actor Michael J. Fox. During production, it was decided that the design was too boyish and wasn't "appealing enough," so the character was redesigned to add elements derived from actor Tom Cruise and Calvin Klein models.[5]
The design for most characters was based on the work of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld,[8] which production designer Richard Vander Wende also considered appropriate to the theme, due to similarities to the swooping lines of Persian miniatures and Arabic calligraphy.[12] Jafar's design was not based on Hirschfeld's work because Jafar's supervising animator, Andreas Deja, wanted the character to be contrasting.[23] Each character was animated alone, with the animators consulting each other to make scenes with interrelating characters. Since Aladdin's animator Glen Keane was working in the California branch of Walt Disney Feature Animation, and Jasmine's animator Mark Henn was in the Florida one at Disney-MGM Studios, they had to frequently phone, fax or send designs and discs to each other.[12]
For the scenery design, layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani took many pictures of his hometown of Isfahan, Iran for guidance.[6] Other inspirations for design were Disney's animated films from the 1940s and 50s and the 1940 film The Thief of Bagdad.[12] The coloring was done with the computerized CAPS process, and the color motifs were chosen according to the personality – the protagonists use light colors such as blue, the antagonists darker ones such as red and black, and Agrabah and its palace use the neutral color yellow.[6][8] Computer animation was used for some elements of the film, such as the tiger entrance of the Cave of Wonders and the scene where Aladdin tries to escape the collapsing cave.[8]
Musker and Clements created the Genie with Robin Williams in mind; even though Katzenberg suggested actors such as John Candy, Steve Martin, and Eddie Murphy, Williams was approached and eventually accepted the role. Williams came for voice recording sessions during breaks in the shooting of two other films he was starring in at the time, Hook and Toys. Unusually for an animated film, much of Williams' dialogue was ad-libbed: for some scenes, Williams was given topics and dialogue suggestions, but allowed to improvise his lines.[8] It was estimated that Williams improvised 52 characters.[24] Eric Goldberg, the supervising animator for the Genie, then reviewed Williams' recorded dialogue and selected the best gags and lines that his crew would create character animation to match.[8]
The producers added many in-jokes and references to Disney's previous works in the film, such as a "cameo appearance" from directors Clements and Musker and drawing some characters based on Disney workers.[11] Beast, Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and Pinocchio make brief appearances,[6] and the wardrobe of the Genie at the end of the film—Goofy hat, Hawaiian shirt, and sandals—are a reference to a short film that Robin Williams did for the Disney/MGM Studios tour in the late 80s.[11]
Robin Williams' conflicts with the studioEdit
In gratitude for his success with the Disney/Touchstone film Good Morning, Vietnam, Robin Williams voiced the Genie for SAG scale pay ($75,000), on condition that his name or image not be used for marketing, and his (supporting) character not take more than 25% of space on advertising artwork, since Toys was scheduled for release one month after Aladdin's debut. For financial reasons, the studio went back on the deal on both counts, especially in poster art by having the Genie in 25% of the image, but having other major and supporting characters portrayed considerably smaller. The Disney Hyperion book Aladdin: The Making Of An Animated Film, listed both of Williams' characters "The Peddler" and "The Genie" ahead of main characters, but was forced to refer to him only as "the actor signed to play the Genie".[5]
Williams and Disney had a bitter falling-out, and as a result, Dan Castellaneta voiced the Genie in The Return of Jafar, the Aladdin animated television series, and had recorded his voice for Aladdin and the King of Thieves. Following Jeffrey Katzenberg's departure from Disney, former 20th Century Fox production head Joe Roth, whose last act for Fox was greenlighting Williams' film Mrs. Doubtfire, Roth replaced Katzenberg and arranged for a public apology to Williams by Disney. Williams agreed to perform in Hollywood Pictures' Jack, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and even agreed to voice the Genie again for the King Of Thieves sequel (for considerably more than scale), replacing all of Castellaneta's dialogue.[25]
- Main article: Aladdin (soundtrack)
Composer Alan Menken and songwriters Howard Ashman and Tim Rice were praised for creating a soundtrack that is "consistently good, rivaling the best of Disney's other animated musicals from the '90s."[26] Menken and Ashman began work on the film together, with Rice taking over as lyricist after Ashman died of AIDS-related complications in early 1991.[27] Although fourteen songs were written for Aladdin, only six are featured in the movie, three by each lyricist.[28] The DVD Special Edition released in 2004 includes four songs in early animations tests, and a music video of one, "Proud of Your Boy", performed by Clay Aiken,[29] which also appears on the album DisneyMania 3.[30]
"The original story was sort of a winning the lottery kind of thing. When we got into it, particularly coming in at the end of 1980s, it seemed like an Eighties 'greed is good' movie. (...) Like having anything you could wish for would be the greatest thing in the world and having it taken away from you is bad, but having it back is great. We didn't really want that to be the message of the movie"
The filmmakers thought the moral message of the original tale was not appropriate, and decided to "put a spin on it", by making the fulfillment of wishes seem like a great thing, but eventually becoming a problem.[12] Another major theme was not trying to be what the person is not – both Aladdin and Jasmine get into trouble faking to be different people,[6] and the Prince Ali persona fails to impress Jasmine, who only falls for Aladdin when she finds out who he truly is.[31] Being "imprisoned" is also discussed, a fate that occurs to most of the characters – Aladdin and Jasmine are stuck to their lifestyles, Genie is attached to his lamp and Jafar, to the Sultan – and is represented visually by the prison-like walls and bars of the Agrabah palace, and the scene involving caged birds which Jasmine later frees.[6] Jasmine is also depicted as a different Disney Princess, being rebellious to the royal life and the social structure,[32] and trying to make her own way, unlike the princesses who just wait for rescue.[12]
Release and receptionEdit
Theatrical runEdit
A large promotion campaign preceded Aladdin's debut in theaters, with the film's trailer being attached to most Disney VHS releases, and numerous tie-ins and licensees being released.[33] After a limited release on November 13, 1992,[34] Aladdin debuted in 1,131 theaters on November 25, 1992, grossing $19.2 million in its opening weekend – number two at the box office, behind Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.[35] It took eight weeks for the film to reach number one at the US box office, breaking the record for the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve with $32.2 million.[36] The film held the top spot five times during its 22-week run.[37] Aladdin was the most successful film of 1992 grossing $217 million in the United States and over $504 million worldwide.[1] It was the biggest gross for an animated film until The Lion King two years later.[38] As of 2010, it is the eighteenth highest grossing animated film and the third highest grossing traditionally animated feature worldwide, behind The Lion King and The Simpsons Movie.[39]
Critical receptionEdit
Aladdin was well received by critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 92% of critics gave the film a positive review based on a sample of 51 reviews, with an average score of 8/10.[40] Among the "Top Critics", it has a 100% positive review rating from ten critics.[41]
Most critics' praise went to Robin Williams' performance as Genie,[40] with Janet Maslin of The New York Times declaring that children "needn't know precisely what Mr. Williams is evoking to understand how funny he is".[42] Warner Bros. animator Chuck Jones even called the film "the funniest feature ever made."[13] James Berardinelli gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars, praising the "crisp visuals and wonderful song-and-dance numbers".[43] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said the comedy made the film accessible to both children and adults,[44] a vision shared with Desson Howe of The Washington Post, who also said "kids are still going to be entranced by the magic and adventure."[45] Brian Lowry of Variety praised the cast of characters, describing the expressive magic carpet as "its most remarkable accomplishment" and considered that "Aladdin overcomes most story flaws thanks to sheer technical virtuosity".[46]
Some aspects of the film were widely criticized. Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine wrote a negative review, describing the film as racist, ridiculous, and a "narcissistic circus act" for Robin Williams. Roger Ebert, who generally praised the film in his review, considered the music inferior to its predecessors The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and claimed Aladdin and Jasmine were "pale and routine".[47]
Aladdin also received many award nominations, mostly for its music. It won two Academy Awards, Best Music, Original Score and Best Music, Original Song for "A Whole New World" and receiving nominations for Best Song ("Friend Like Me"), Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound (Terry Porter, Mel Metcalfe, David J. Hudson and Doc Kane).[48] At the Golden Globes, Aladdin won Best Original Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score, as well as a Special Achievement Award for Robin Williams, with a nomination for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.[49] Other awards included the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature,[50] a MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance to Robin Williams,[51] Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Film, Performance by a Younger Actor to Scott Weinger and Supporting Actor to Robin Williams,[52] the Best Animated Feature by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association,[53] and four Grammy Awards, Best Soundtrack Album, and Song of the Year, Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for "A Whole New World".[54]
American Film Institute recognition:
- AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs – Nominated[55]
- AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs
- AFI's 10 Top 10 – Nominated Animated Film[57]
- AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals – Nominated Musical[58]
Home media Edit
The film was first released in VHS on October 1, 1993, as part of the "Walt Disney Classics" line. In its first week of availability, Aladdin sold over 10.6 million copies,[59] and went on to sell over 25 million in total (a record only broken by the later release of The Lion King).[60] It entered moratorium on April 30, 1994.[61]
On October 5, 2004, Aladdin was released on DVD, as part of Disney's Platinum Edition line. The DVD release featured retouched and cleaned-up animation, prepared for Aladdin's planned but ultimately cancelled IMAX reissue in 2003,[62] and a second disc with bonus features. Accompanied by a $19 million marketing campaign,[63] the DVD sold about 3 million units in its first month, but it was less than the number of copies, sold in that amount of time, by any other Platinum Edition released before it.[64] The film's soundtrack was available in its original Dolby 5.1 track or in a new Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix.[29] The DVD went into moratorium in January 2008, along with its sequels.[65]
According to an insert in the Lady and the Tramp Diamond Edition release, Aladdin was going released on Blu-ray as a Diamond Edition in Spring 2013.[66] But this release is delayed because Peter Pan is will be released on Blu-ray as a Diamond Edition in February 5, 2013 to celebrate its 60th Anniversary.
One of the verses of the opening song "Arabian Nights" was altered following protests from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). The lyrics were changed in July 1993 from "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face," in the original release to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense." The change first appeared on the 1993 video release.[67] The original lyric was intact on the initial CD soundtrack release, but the re-release uses the edited lyric. The rerecording has the original voice on all other lines and then a noticeably deeper voice says the edited line. Entertainment Weekly ranked Aladdin in a list of the most controversial films in history, due to this incident.[68] The ADC also complained about the portrayal of the lead characters Aladdin and Jasmine. They criticized the characters' Anglicized features and Anglo-American accents, in contrast to the other characters in the film, which are dark-skinned, have foreign accents and grotesque facial features, and appear villainous or greedy.[67]
Protests were also raised to another scene. When Aladdin is attacked by the tiger Rajah on the palace balcony, Aladdin quietly says "Good kitty, take off and go..." and the word "kitty" is overlapped by Rajah's snarl. Some people reported hearing "Good teenagers, take off your clothes,"[69] which they considered a subliminal reference to promiscuity. Because of the controversy, Disney replaced the phrase with "Down, kitty" on the DVD release.[70]
Animation enthusiasts have noticed similarities between Aladdin and Richard Williams's unfinished film The Thief and the Cobbler (also known as Arabian Knight under Miramax Films and The Princess and the Cobbler under Majestic Films International). These similarities include a similar plot, similar characters, scenes and background designs, and the antagonist Zig-Zag's resemblance in character design and mannerisms to Genie and Jafar.[71][72] Though Aladdin was released prior to The Thief and the Cobbler, The Thief and the Cobbler was started much earlier in the 1960s, its production being mired in difficulties including financial problems, copyright issues, and late production times caused by separate studios trying to finish the film after Richard Williams was fired from the project for lack of finished work.[73] The late release coupled with Miramax (a Disney-owned studio) purchasing and re-editing the film, has sometimes resulted in The Thief and the Cobbler being labeled a copy of Aladdin.[72]
Sequels and spin-offsEdit
Aladdin was followed by Disney's first direct-to-video sequel, The Return of Jafar in 1994. The film saw the debut of a new character, Abis Mal, voiced by Jason Alexander, and all of the original cast, except for Robin Williams, replaced by Dan Castellaneta, and Douglas Seale, replaced by Val Bettin. The plot mainly focused on Jafar seeking revenge on Aladdin. However, this time, with Iago on Aladdin's side, Abis Mal becomes Jafar's new henchman.[74] Shortly after The Return of Jafar, the Aladdin TV series was aired on television. The episodes focused on Aladdin's adventures after the events of the second film.[75] In 1996, the final sequel to Aladdin, Aladdin and the King of Thieves was released on video. The story concludes as Aladdin and Jasmine are about to be married and Aladdin discovers that his father is still alive, but is the king of all thieves in Agrabah.[74]
The Aladdin characters later made a crossover with Hercules: The Animated Series,[76] and were featured as guests in the television series House of Mouse and related works to those series—Jafar was the leader of the villains in Mickey's House of Villains.[77]
The film also inspired a Disney On Ice presentation,[78] and two attractions in Disney's theme parks: "The Magic Carpets of Aladdin", a Dumbo the Flying Elephant-like ride at both Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort and Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Resort Paris;[79][80] and the show Disney's Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular at Disney California Adventure Park.[81]
Video gamesEdit
- Main article: Disney's Aladdin (video game)
Along with the film release, three different video games based on Aladdin were released. A coproduction between Virgin Games and Walt Disney Feature Animation for the Sega Genesis was released in late 1993 and later ported to Nintendo Entertainment System, PC, Game Boy and Game Boy Color.[82] That same year, Capcom released a Super Nintendo game, which was ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2002.[83][84] In 1994, SIMS released an Aladdin game for the Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System.[85]
The television series inspired another game by Argonaut Games, entitled Aladdin: Nasira's Revenge and released in 2000 for the PlayStation and PC.[86] Also, in 2004 Vivendi Universal released Disney's Aladdin Chess Adventures, a chess computer game with the Aladdin license.[87]
The Kingdom Hearts series features a playable Aladdin world known as Agrabah.[88] In Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the plotline is loosely related to the storyline of the original film.[88][89] In Kingdom Hearts II, it is a mixture of Aladdin and The Return of Jafar.[90] Genie is also a recurring summon in the series.[88]
Musical adaptationEdit
In November 2010 Alan Menken confirmed that a musical theatre adaptation of the show is in the works with a book written by Chad Beguelin.[91] The show premiered at the 5th Avenue Theatre from July 7–31, 2011.[92] Jonathan Freeman, who voiced Jafar in the film, played the role in the stage adaptation.[93] Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed played Aladdin and Jasmine. Additional actors included Seán G. Griffin as the Sultan; Don Darryl Rivera as Iago; and, playing Omar, Babkak, and Kassim – a trio of characters originally conceived by the film's creators but not used – Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Brian Gonzales, and Brandon O'Neill. The show was also directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw.[94] Another production of the musical played at the Muny Theatre in St. Louis from July 5–13, 2012.[95][96]

Hong Kong Entertainment Expo provides platform for innovation and trade in Asia
|Picture shows (from left) TDC Executive Director Mr. Fred Lam, Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology Mr. Joseph Wong and Hong Kong Entertainment Ambassador Mr. Tony Leung officiating at the launching ceremony of the Entertainment Expo Hong Kong. The multi-media extravaganza, bringing together film and television programming, film financing, a film festival, film awards, music and digital entertainment, will take place from March 30 – April 19 in Hong Kong.
|Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology Mr. Joseph Wong said in today's press conference that he was proud to see Hong Kong film talents scored an award at the Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival). He said the Hong Kong government was pleased to be the "Best Supporting Actor" to facilitate the development of the industry.
|Picture shows (from left to right) Mr. Nicholas Yang, CEO of Cyberport; Dr. Gino Yu, Chairman of HK Digital Entertainment Association; Mr. Crucindo Hung, Chairman of MPIA; Mr. Raymond Yip, Assistant Executive Director, TDC; Mr. Raymond Chow, Chairman of TDC Entertainment Industry Advisory Committee; Mr. Tony Leung, Hong Kong Entertainment Ambassador; Mr. Stanley Tong, Vice Chairman of Hong Kong Film Awards Association; Mr. Hung Tik, Chairman of IFPI (HK Group) Ltd; Miss. Connie Lam, Programme Director of Hong Kong Arts Centre; and Mr. Peter Tsi, Executive Director of Hong Kong International Film Festival Society Limited at today's press conference.
|Mr. Tony Leung
First organised in 2005, Entertainment Expo brings together eight leading fixtures in Hong Kong's entertainment calendar, including film, digital entertainment, music and TV productions. The inaugural 2005 edition has drawn overwhelming response.
A number of new records were achieved last year, one of which was the biggest-ever box office receipt of the Hong Kong International Film Festival. The turnout at the Hong Kong Film Awards presentation ceremony was also a record high, thanks to the relocation to a bigger venue, the Hong Kong Coliseum. Over 2,800 buyers attended the FILMART, also a record high, while HAF attracted impressive turnouts of quality production projects and prospective investors. The number of entries at the Hong Kong Independent Short Film & Video Awards was also the largest-ever. In short, all of the eight events were very successful in 2005.
This year, the 2nd edition of the event will run from 20 March to 19 April 2006. Top-notch industry professionals from around the world will converge at Asia's world city to present a glitzy "Hong Kong Entertainment Month".
The Expo will encompass eight leading entertainment events, including the three founding events of Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART), Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF) and Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA); as well as five core events, namely Hong Kong - Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), Hong Kong Digital Entertainment Excellence Awards (DEEA), IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award (IFPI), Digital Entertainment Leadership Forum (DELF), and Hong Kong Independent Short Film & Video Awards (ifva).
The Opening Ceremony of Entertainment Expo and the Gala Evening of the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards will take place concurrently at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 20 March. The evening will also celebrate the special anniversaries of the three founding events, namely the 10th Hong Kong International Film & TV Market, the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards, and the 30th Hong Kong International Film Festival.
Speaking at a press conference today (21 February), TDC's Assistant Executive Director Raymond Yip said Entertainment Expo provides a platform for creative talents and traders in the region.
"With the growing trend towards media convergence, Hong Kong is well poised to further sharpen its edge in content production and marketing. Hong Kong can offer contents to both traditional and new media such as computer game, online game, mobile phone, film, TV and music," he added.
To capitalise on the media convergence trend, TDC and IFPI will jointly present the Hong Kong Music Fair, to run concurrently with the 10th FILMART. The pavilion will serve as a new platform for industry professionals to explore opportunities in music copyright transaction and business partnership. The 40 exhibitors at the pavilion will promote their music works to producers from the Chinese mainland and overseas.
"CD release used to be the only channel for publishing original music works and royalty fee was a relatively straightforward matter. However, with the advent of new media, industry professionals require greater support in terms of professional services to handle matters not directly related to the creative aspect," Mr. Yip said.
More than 400 exhibitors from 20 countries and regions will participate in FILMART this year. The exhibitor number represents a 15% increase over 2005. The two highlights of FILMART, "Digital Entertainment Pavilion" and "Audio-visual Equipment and Post-production Services Pavilion" will offer overseas buyers a wide array of choices and services.
Furthermore, TDC will provide business matching services to help industry professionals find potential business partners during the Expo, while one-stop consultation services will offer customised consultation on film production, marketing, licensing and legal matters.
To run concurrently with FLIMART, the Hong Kong - Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) serves as a financing platform for the film industry. As co-organisers, TDC and the Hong Kong, Kowloon & New Territories Motion Picture Association Ltd. (MPIA) have selected 25 Asian film productions from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Chinese mainland, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and Iran, to be presented at HAF. HAF will help these Asian film productions seek financing and business cooperation opportunities in the form of co-production, joint venture or investment. For details, please visit the fair website of HAF: www. haf.eexpohk.com.
Last year, HAF has successfully raised capital for a number of movies, including some that have already been completed or released such as "Invisible Waves", directed by Pen-ek Ratanaruang of Thailand, and "McDull The Alumni", directed by Samson Chiu Leung Chun and produced by Peter Chan Ho Sun and Brian Tse Lap Man of Hong Kong. "Invisible Waves" has been nominated for the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Real Estate Investing and the Skills Needed to Succeed
Real Estate Investing and the Skills Needed to Succeed
Have you ever thought of investing in real estate, but don't know how and where to begin? Fair enough — real estate investing, to beginners, can sound like rocket science. But truth be told, anyone can invest in real estate whether you have only a little or a lot of knowledge on this subject! In fact, even if you don't have a degree or you're just an ordinary person, you can still do real estate investing and even benefit from it throughout the years.
What's more is that there are also various resources you can make use of to understand and learn about how this real estate investment can be feasible. HERE, we list down some tips and skills needed for you to succeed when investing:
1. Knowing THE Figures
The most important calculation that you should prioritize is positive cash flow, which basically means that income should always be more than expenses. You don't need to be a Math genius on this; what matters is that you should understand all the expenses that might come up if you invest in a property. These include fees for insurance, maintenance, mortgages, property tax, vacancies, etc.
You can also utilize tools like investment property calculators and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for calculations, so you can save a lot of time and effort.
2. Understanding Market Conditions and Trends
When it comes to real estate, you need to understand the market where you are planning to invest — when is the right time to buy or sell, the areas that are in high demand, the neighbourhood, job market, rental rates, mortgage and property prices, the costs of repair ad renovation, and even the ways of transportation.
Aside from that, it's also crucial to learn the potential risks associated with your business, such as getting bad tenants, or having trouble making payments, maintaining the property and collecting rents, for you to be able to adjust, decide, and manage your investment more easily.
Lastly, being familiar with specific markets can also allow you to predict when trends are going to change, creating potentially beneficial opportunities for the prepared investor.
3. Communicating and Building a Network
In connection with the above point, another thing that can help you manage your investment properly is to build a network of different team members whom you can consult prior to making huge decisions. Whether in the field of banking or renovation, keep in mind that your team should also be capable of assisting you in acquiring new opportunities and knowledge.
Furthermore, knowing how to properly communicate with them as well as your tenants is also a must in order to gain trust and respect. Besides, this skill can be reliable in terms of negotiating closing costs or hiring labor. This doesn't mean you need to be "friendly" with them though. Learn how to be firm when necessary, and more importantly, to also understand their behaviour and demands.
4. Becoming More Business-Minded
One technique that a lot of real estate investors practice is treating their investment and other real estate activities as a business. With this in mind, establishing and achieving short- and long-term goals, identifying objectives and plan of actions, as well as developing and keeping a focus would be a lot easier.
5. Learning the Business/Investment Continuously
As mentioned earlier, investing is like rocket science. There's so much more about it that an investor must continuously learn even long after the investment has been made. Hence, you need to keep updated on the terminology, and laws and regulations in the real estate industry.
Other than that, it's also important to learn everything about a specific type of investment. Regardless whether it is wholesaling or commercial real estate, if you are confident in this area, you will definitely be a successful long-term investor!
6. Seeking Help If Necessary
Rather than risk time, effort and money solving a difficult problem on their own, successful real estate investors know it is worth the additional costs (in terms of money and ego) to find help when they need it and embrace other people's expertise — a mentor, lawyer, accountant or supportive friend. If necessary, you may even invest in a reputable accountant to handle your business' books. Remember, taxes can be very, very exhausting, as it make up a large percentage of a real estate investor's yearly expenses.

I came to Moab two years ago from China. Before I came I know nothing about Moab. But I really love here after I get to know about Moab. Just haven of adventure.
So my Favorite adventure is doing off road here. Just Amazing experience! I believe people who likes to do off road must know about "Hell's revenge" trail which is really popular and famous. I have done over 5 times in that trail and once in the night. It will take you about 3 hours to complete finish it and length about 6.5miles. There are four spots are very challenged! "Hell's gate" "Hot Tubs"" Escalator" "Tip over challenge". The "Hell's Gate" is the most difficult spot. So many rollover happen there and I've seen once in front of me. That was a UTV. Good thing was no people got hurt. Most jeep rental companies are not allowed their jeeps to be there if u rent.
All of those reasons above that you will know its pretty excited and real adventure. Hope you will enjoy that one day!

With little measurable precipitation at Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks over the last few months, coupled with above average temperatures, high winds and low relative humidities, the fire danger at both parks is high.
While open fires are prohibited at all times within both parks, the following additional restrictions have been implemented due to this high fire danger:
- Smoking is not permitted in either park, except in closed vehicles or on non-flammable surfaces such as open paved parking lots or developed campsites away from flammable vegetation. All smoking on park trails is prohibited.
- Although grills and charcoal fires are normally permitted at the Rattlesnake Springs unit of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, during this time of high fire danger, charcoal fires and grills are prohibited at Rattlesnake Springs as well. The use of camp stoves with caution in developed and backcountry campsites is still permitted within Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
These restrictions are being put into effect due to the high fire danger in both parks and southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. Park visitors are advised to use extreme caution and report any hazardous situations or smoke to a park ranger. These restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.
Violators may be fined and held responsible for resource damage, injuries to people, and costs of fire suppression efforts.

Keith Oliver [email@example.com]
My name is Keith Oliver. I live in Ipswich and visit the ports of Ipswich and Felixstowe in my free time because I have a full time job in the hospital as a porter with Diagnostic Imaging.
I started visiting ships in 1989. At the time I had it on my heart to bring the gospel to people behind what was then, the iron curtain because I was following the progress of Christian Mission to the Communist World (later to become Release International) through their news letter. This brought me into contact with David and Nancy Nunn who worked for this charity.
Through them the Lord opened up the way for me to start visiting ships in Ipswich and to my surprise I met people from Eastern Europe and had the opportunity to present them with the gospel in my own home town.
In 1993 I married Henriette who came from The Netherlands. Later on the Lord blessed us with a daughter called Rosa who is now 10 years old.
To keep people informed about my visits to the ports I write a news letter. This letter is sent to those who are interested and want to pray for the work.

Stretched canvas print frame was more robust than others I have ordered from other companies - this probably doesn't make a great deal of diference. The canvas at the sides of the print (usually not visible when looking straight at the print was white, Other prints continue the artwork on the sides. I prefer the white sides. The cost per print is roughly comparable to other companies although often the sizes are not identical, However the other company I considered for this print used a '40% off today' offer which only brought the price down to the same level as King & McGaw. All in all I would use King & McGaw for my next print especially since it sems to have a wide range of prints.

BARNSTABLE – A bill backed by State Representative Brian Mannal that would prohibit non-licensed massage providers from advertising online was passed by the House of Representatives on Beacon Hill.
The passage came in the same month that Barnstable police raided four businesses that they believed were fronts for prostitution and/or human trafficking. No arrests were made but the businesses were shuttered for licensing violations.
Mannal said he expects the bill to make it to the governor's office for a signature.

At Least 40 Dead in 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake in Southwestern Iran
At least 40 people were killed in a 7.8 magnitude earthquake today in Iran.
The massive quake jolted the town of Saravan in Iran's Southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province
Reuters reported:
The number of deaths in a powerful earthquake that hit Iran on Tuesday was "not high", an Iranian lawmaker from the region told the Mehr news agency.
"From what we have heard from people in the stricken areas, we have learned that the number of deaths is not high," Hamid Reza Pashang said.
"I have talked to the people of Zabul, Saravan, Khash and other areas hit by the earthquake and they have said, the earthquake was not of a kind to cause many deaths," he said.
It was not immediately clear how he had reached them, given reports of a breakdown in power and communication systems in the affected region that made information hard to verify.
Iranian state television earlier said at least 40 people were killed, but acknowledged there was no official confirmation.
