Disney adaptation of the traditional tale, featuring an Oscar-winning score by Tim Rice and the voice of Robin Williams as the Genie in the lamp. Aladdin (Scott Weinger), a street urchin with a pet monkey called Abu (Frank Welker), one day meets the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin) by chance in the marketplace after she has sneaked out of the royal palace looking for some fun. The sultan's advisor, the evil Jafar (Jonathan Freeman), who is hatching a plot to marry Jasmine and become sultan himself, senses her attraction to the youth and immediately gives orders to throw Aladdin in jail.

But when Aladdin discovers a magic lamp in a cave, his quest to defeat Jafar and win the hand of the princess begins.
