MPAA Rating:
    G   There is some stealing and lying (which is resolved as Aladdin comes of age).

My Rating:
    This is one of my favorites.  The humor created by Willams perfectly accents the comedic nature of the film.  Unfortunately, his character does not appear until almost a third of the way into the film.  The animation is great, and it's Disney fun at its best.
