Disney’s ‘Aladdin’ creates magical memories for all “Aladdin” By Gerry Beltz Staff Reporter __ Disney has rubbed its magic lamp, and the gift from that lamp is “Aladdin,” (Douglas 3, 13th and P Streets) a classic talc for young and old. Aladdin is a street-smart kid who, along with his playful monkey friend Abu, constantly is avoiding the palace guards in his carefree lifestyle. Still, he yearns to get inside the foreboding palace walls to meet the beautiful princess Jasmine, who is looking for a husband, but is permitted to marry only a prince. Meanwhile, the evil Jafar and his loud mouthed parrot/sidckick Iago, voiced by Gil bert Gottfried, arc scheming to retrieve a magi cal lamp from the Cave of Wonders, but Jafar needs a pure soul — a “diamond in the rough” — lo get into the cave. Enter Aladdin, who retrieves the lamp for Jafar, but ends up keeping it. Aladdin rubs the lamp to read an inscription, and lo and behold, out pops the genic (hilari ously portrayed by Robin Williams.) The genie then grants Aladdin the standard three wishes and “ixnay on wishing for more wishes!” What the genic truly wishes for is his free aom, out that can only be granted by a wisn from his master. Aladdin promises to free the genic on his third wish, but uses his first wish to become a prince, and the romance-adventure story takes off from there. Director John Musker (“The Great Mouse Detective”) keeps the moviegoer entranced from the opening moments all the way to the credits with superb animation, great characters and an incredible trio working on the movie’s music. The late Howard Ashman (“Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid”,) Alan Menken and Tim Rice make a terrific team for “Aladdin,” and bring forward great songs such as “A Whole New World” (sung by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle) and “Friend Like Me” (by Robin Williams). Special note should be made to the charac ters of Abu and Aladdin’s magic carpet—two characters who don’t speak a single word, but are a proverbial hoot. Williams, however, walks away with the movie in his portrayal as the genie. He’s a zany, fun-loving genie fromwhom noone is safe from characterization, including Peter Lorre, Jack Nicholson and even Sebastian from “The Little Mermaid.” By the way, Disney has checked into the chances of Williams’ eligibility at the Acad emy Awards for Best Supporting Actor. Yep, he is. “A ladd in” looks to be a surefire hoi iday box office smash. Allwosneak preview showingsof “Aladdin” at the East Park Three Theaters, the 252-scat theater sold out at both showings, the first in 18 minutes, and the second in 13 minutes. During Thanksgiving weekend, it was sellout after sellout for both screens at the Douglas 3. Definitely check it out. Heck, you’ll laugh so much that you’ll want to sec it twice! Gay radio station in Denver expected to reach 7.5 million DENVER (AP) — The manager of a new coast-to-coast lesbian and gay radio station said listeners would find plenty of music from ho mosexual artists and issue-oriented news, but those looking for titillation should tune out. “People will be bored before they will be titillated,” Clay Henderson said Saturday night, soon after KGAY went on the air. “There is nothing that will go out on the airwaves that will offend my sweet, little, old, Republican mother in Brazoria County, Texas,” he said. Broadcasting from a tiny Denver studio crammed on opening night with television, magazine and radio reporters, Henderson said investors pumped $1 million into the station to bring “mainstream radio for a gay and lesbian audience” to market. The station isn T available without a satellite dish. Although the nation has other radio sta tions that offer gay and lesbian programming, KGAY is expected to reach an estimated 7.5 million homes in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. Direct broadcast satellite reception will be an option on some late 1993 and 1994 automo biles. The station also is working to encourage cable systems to carry KGAY as background • music for their information channels. Specifically lesbian and gay programming is scheduled for about 65 hours each week, coupled with 105 hours of progressive rock music. The station’s news programming in cludes reports from the Albuquerque-based Gay Net News Service, Henderson said. The station is not governed by the Federal Communications Commission, but Henderson said his staff — 12 people in Denver and eight correspondents — has been instructed to be “journalists first, gay journalists second. “Wc have a responsibility to show both sides of the story and to label opinion exactly that,” he said. Henderson said he expected advertising volume on the station to be heavy. “We offer a very brand-conscious, loyal consumer,” he said. “Studies have shown that advertisers that will invest in advertising to the gay community, the gay community will re spond.” KG AY doesn’t give out its station address to the general public, partly because of anti-ho mosexual sentiment in Colorado. The state’s voters approved a measure in November that invalidated gay rights ordinances in three cities and prohibits any such laws from being enacted in the future. Trees Continued from Page 13 1 c Salazar also runs afoul of Alexis Ritter, head f of a local nudist/New Age religious cult, who is r able to come on to a man and then curse him like t a sailor in the next breath. Her cull is in league with the kook leader and, at first, indifferent to J the logging. ] Salazar finds the environmental destruction not only aesthetically displeasing, but getting ( in the way of his thesis, and he begins a guerri 11a ( war against the logging interests, making a few i onverts along the way. The end is full of action and culminates at he rim of a volcano. De Camp does a fine job with the alien ulturc by making them nonviolent with sev ral interesting quirks. He lays on theenviron ncntalism, but pro that he is, avoids com ing ofl is preachy. He also shows he can write a fair seduction ccnc, something that never would have goiter >ast the editors when he began writing. “The Venom Trees of Sunga” is as fresh anc urrent as anything done by a new writer—bui >f course, the seasoning behind it makes it that nuch better.
