Directed by Ron Clements and John Musker. Songs were by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman. One of the verses of the opening song "Arabian Nights" was censored because of political sensitivity. Following protests from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) the lyrics were changed in July 1993 from "Where they'll cut off your nose if they don't like your face/It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home," in the original release to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense/It's barbaric, but, hey, it's home."
Voice actors included Robin Williams as the genie.
Aladdin was followed by two "direct-to-video" sequels: The Return of Jafar (1994) and Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996), and an animated television series.
