Disney's Aladdin (Sega Genesis video game)

Disney's Aladdin is a 1993 side-scrolling platformer video game developed by Virgin Games and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. The game is based on the 1992 Walt Disney Animation Studios film of the same name, and features the titular Aladdin navigating settings and scenarios from the film.

The game's development represented Disney's inaugural direct participation in video game production; following some sub-standard video game adaptations of their work, they were motivated by a desire to produce an adaptation that matched the film's high artistic quality. After an initial attempt with BlueSky Software was abandoned, Disney partnered with Virgin Games, whose digitization techniques for hand-drawn animation enabled the incorporation of over a thousand frames created by Disney animators. This process faithfully reproduced the film's style within the technical limits of 16-bit hardware. The project adhered to a compressed six-month schedule to align with the film's home video release.

Disney's Aladdin received widespread critical praise, particularly for its animation, which reviewers described as unprecedented in cartridge-based games and closely resembling the source film's cartoon fluidity. It achieved strong commercial success, selling over four million copies and becoming one of the best-selling Sega Genesis games. Its accolades and retrospective assessments affirmed it as one of the finest platformers and licensed titles of its era. The game's graphical prowess prompted Nintendo and Rare's competitive development of Donkey Kong Country (1994), reviving the Donkey Kong franchise.
