24. Aladdin (1992) - 104.5 Points
Chuckles 61, Laughs 29, Belly Laughs 15 Notes: I may catch a lot of flak for saying this but this is arguably Robin William's (RIP) funniest role in any movie he ever did (as the Genie of the lamp). In fact, I'll say it is without a doubt. Because this is an animated movie without tethers to the physical limits of our world, he's an uncontrollable force, a nuclear bomb of hilarity. Throw in Gilbert Gottfried (RIP) as Lago, the parrot and a monkey named Abu and you have a comedy masterpiece that I think is probably overlooked because it's "a Disney cartoon from the 90's." I'd strongly recommend watching it before you simply discount it. The animation is wonderfully funny, the script is hilarious, the songs are amazing, the casting is perfect. This is truly one of my favorite Disney movies and without a doubt, one of the absolute funniest. The "never had a friend like me" song/scene had me in tears (laughing) the first time I saw it and it still made me laugh out loud watching it again. I'd kind of forgotten about this gem and didn't even have it on my list initially, but I'm so glad I watched it again after all these years. Also, there's a great message in this movie, to "Be Yourself." I remember this movie being funny having watched it a few times, years ago but had no idea it would score this high. Would I watch it again? Yes. It's a absolute delight.
