The 1992 Disney animated musical featuring “A Whole New World” is Aladdin.
Produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation, Aladdin follows a poor young man in the fictional city of Agrabah who discovers a magic lamp and falls in love with Princess Jasmine. The film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, with songs by Alan Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice.
“A Whole New World” is the romantic duet sung by Aladdin and Jasmine as they fly over the world on a magic carpet. Brad Kane and Lea Salonga performed the characters’ singing voices in the film. The end-credit pop version was recorded by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle and became a major hit.
The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, while Aladdin also won for Best Original Score. A common mix-up is confusing the film with Disney’s later live-action adaptation, released in 2019, which uses the same central story and song.
