A Kid in Aladdin's Palace

10/5/2020

Better than the original, I would not have predicted that in fairness. <em>'A Kid in Aladdin’s Palace'</em> is still very much a poor film, but they do improve on 1995's <em>'A Kid in King Arthur's Court'</em>. That's a surprise, especially as this was made without the collaboration of Disney; Trimark and Tapestry went it alone with this. Cast-wise it's roughly the same in terms of what's given. Of course the first film has the (in retrospect) star names of Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig, who don't return for this, but this cast list give just as much as those from the '95 production did to be frank. Thomas Ian Nicholas does, however, return to reprise his role. I actually found him more bearable here, he's slightly less wooden and the dialogue written for him is a little more suit
