Special LA Screening Celebrates Upcoming Diamond Edition Release of ALADDIN
In celebration of the upcoming ALADDIN: DIAMOND EDITION release, Scott Weinger, the voice of Aladdin, hosted a special screening of the film at the Walt Disney Studios lot and WAMG was there for Sunday’s fun events.
There was a host of fun activities for kids – a coloring table, ring toss, belly dancing lessons and a nice pre-movie breakfast. Youngsters in attendance also left with gifts such as Disney action figures, the iconic fairy wings, and a special Golden Books edition of Aladdin.
For many of the kids in the audience, this was their first time seeing ALADDIN, including star Scott Weinger’s own son and his delighted friends, further confirming that this Disney classic holds up through generations.
Disney’s beloved masterpiece will make your heart race and your spirit soar.
Experience the laughter, adventure and Academy Award-winning music (1992: Best Music, Original Song, “A Whole New World,” Original Score) for the first time on Blu-ray and Digital HD. And now ALADDIN shines even brighter with never-before-seen tributes to the enchanting talent of Robin Williams, the “Genius behind the Genie.
