Aladdin
A charming, music-filled adventure about a kind-hearted street kid who finds a magic lamp and falls for a princess, with Robin Williams stealing every scene as the Genie. The villain Jafar and several peril-heavy action sequences give it a genuine edge that little ones may find startling.
Most comfortable for ages 6 and up; fine for confident 5-year-olds with a grown-up nearby for the scarier stretches.

The Cave of Wonders appears as a colossal roaring lion head that suddenly rises from the sand and then collapses, swallowing a character inside.
Guards with swords chase Aladdin across rooftops; a merchant threatens to cut off Jasmine's hand.
Aladdin is knocked unconscious by guards and thrown off a cliff into the sea with a ball and chain; he is rescued by the Genie using a wish.
