In 1989, Disney revitalized both animation and musical theatre for generations to come with their Academy Award-winning film THE LITTLE MERMAID. They followed up that success with BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in 1991, which won another two Oscars, and then in 1992 they again broke the animated mold with ALADDIN, which took home two more trophies. Not only did these three films reinvigorate the nearly dead genre of animated musicals, but ALADDIN specifically inspired decades of films that were not only enjoyable to kids, but were also funny on another level that kept adults entertained as well.
In episode 2 of Courtney Reed's (Jasmine in ALADDIN) new video talk show, #CourtneyChat, she brings in special guest Laura Osnes to discuss the subject of compassion, answer fan questions, and more. Check out the fun video below!
