DISNEY: ALADDIN

'... Arabian niiiiiiights like Arabian daaaaaaaays

More often than not

Are hotter than hot

In a lot of good ways ...'

Oh good ol'Aladdin is the Disney character that graced my screen with his presence this week.

Man, it has been a while since I've seen this particular film. I remember when I was a little tot, I had the Jasmine doll and a bunch of other Aladdin related toys that I want to say I got from Mc Donalds but I could be wrong. But it was the Jasmine Barbie-esque doll that I loved dearly. I vaguely remember brushing her hair and wearing my own Jasmine outfit. 

I was clearly a big Disney fan. 

Having a guy come to my room to whisk me away for a magical night on a magical carpet, singing to me a magical song sounds just about right to me. None of this Maserati, Lamborghini or Rolls Royce nonsense. Magical carpets are highly sustainable after all ;-)

'I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid

Tell me, princess, now when did

You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride

A whole neeeeeeew wooooooorld

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

A whole neeeeeeew wooooooorld

A dazzling place I never kneeeeeew

But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with yoooooou

Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole neeeeew wooooorld

Don't you dare close your eyes

A hundred thousand things to see

Hold your breath, it gets better

I'm like a shooting star

I've come so far

I can't go back

To where I used to be

A whole neeeeeew wooooooorld

Every turn a surprise

With new horizons to pursue

Every moment red-letter

I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole neeeeeew wooooooorld (x2)

That's where we'll be (x2)

A thrilling chase

A wondrous place

For you and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

Aladdin is definitely a strong contender but I am beginning to wonder if I can truly have a 'Top Five Favourite Disney Movie' list talk less of an actual favourite. But we'll see. I am definitely having fun taking this fun and magical trip down memory lane.

On to the next one!

Till next time!

Luv, Mo
