One of the great things about the hand-drawn disney Animation, has always been, for me, to watch certain scenes and sequences in slow motion. Growing up with my dad's VHS machine, I could sit in front of the tv for hours and watch some of my favorito! scenes from the animated classics in slow motion. It was always facinating to me, each and every frame was a new discovery.
I have made similar artículos like this, with The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King and now it's time for another one of my personal favorito! disney movies, Aladdin from 1992.
Me and aladdín go way back. Along with The Little Mermaid and Pocahontas, it was one of my favorito! cine growing up and it remains one to this day. I just amor the characters, the storyline, the songs, the score and the animation. And yes, this is one of the más cartoony animated features disney has done. But that is not a problem for me. I still amor the movie. The animación is just so rich, from the character animación to the effects animación and the backgrounds.

Number of frames: 64 frames.
Description of the sequence: A Palace Guard stands in front of aladdín and takes a few swings at him with his sword, but aladdín is way too fast.
PrueFever's comment: This is such a funny sequence and it shows easily how 'cartoony' aladdín is. I bet the animators had a lot of fun with the whole 'One Jump Ahead' number as they got to let loose and animate some wacky sequences. I also amor how playful aladdín is here. Even though he is in great danger, he still holds out the stolen pan de molde, pan like it was a sword. xD

PrueFever's comment: I have always loved this shot of Jasmine. She's so beautiful. I also amor how subtle the animación of her is here. One thing I noticed as I made this gif, is the background.

Quote: Jafar: Abject humiliation!
Number of frames: 48 frames.
Description of the sequence: Jafar strikes Princess jazmín and The Sultan with a blast of magic, that forces them both of bow down before him.
PrueFever's comment: I have always loved this sequence of jazmín and the Sultan as they fall and bow to Jafar. I amor how tu can see how jazmín is trying to resist the magic, but she has to give in and fall to her knees. The Sultan, on the other hand, just falls to his knees straight away! xD Also, the animación on the magic is also just beautiful. One thing I would have changed though, is the first frames. They're both just standing there, without doing anything. I'd had them react with their faces, their eyes, mouths, something.

Two cel set-up applied to a matching background.
Quote: Jafar: Your eternal reward!
Number of frames: 18 frames.
Description of the sequence: As the old beggar raises his hand with a cuchillo in it, aladdín becomes horrified.
PrueFever's comment: A great close-up of aladdín as he realizes what is about to happen to him. On the Blu-ray commentary with directors John Musker, Ron Clements and co-producer Amy Pell, they dicho the following about this shot: "There was a discussion about the close-up of his eyes, of aladdín eyes. How to get at a más emotional in here. Just por adding that close-up, it added just what was needed."
