Scored from 368 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1990s (4,082 peers).
Summary
In the desert city of Agrabah, Aladdin is a quick-witted street thief who scrapes by with his monkey Abu and dreams of a life beyond the marketplace. The grand vizier Jafar, hunting a magic lamp buried in the Cave of Wonders, needs a "diamond in the rough" to retrieve it and settles on Aladdin. When the boy rubs the lamp himself, he frees a shape-shifting, wisecracking Genie who grants him three wishes, and he spends one becoming Prince Ali to court Princess Jasmine, who is chafing at a law requiring her to marry royalty. Disney's animated musical, scored by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, turns on the gap between the persona Aladdin invents and the person he is.
Aladdin is a 1992 adventure, animation and comedy film. Inside comedy it is classed as Goofy. Its certificate is G. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. It runs 1h 30m.
The calibrated figure is built from 368 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 385 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 24,885 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Aladdin lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 368.
