Archive Episode - Aladdin (1992) (with Steve Henderson)

Fantasy/Animation

Chris and Alex continue their journey back through the Fantasy/Animation podcast with this reminder of an early episode looking at the Disney animated musical Aladdin (Ron Clements & John Musker, 1992), which featured as its special guest Steve Henderson - Editor of the Skwigly Online Animation Magazine and Director of the Manchester Animation Festival. Originally recorded as Episode 21 back in May 2020, this instalment appeared just before the Guy Ritchie-directed remake that was covered on the podcast almost exactly a year later, and marked Fantasy/Animation’s first look at the Disney Renaissance, as well as featuring turns to the star voice, digital VFX imagery, and animation’s own history of Orientalist imaginaries.
