One of the songs from Disney’s 1992 animated film Aladdin, which is included in its soundtrack as the 9th track in the album. “A Whole New World” is a love ballad between the main characters Aladdin and Jasmine about the new world they are going to discover together while riding on Aladdin’s magic carpet. It is one of Disney’s most famous songs, winning an Academy Award for Best Original Song as well as a Grammy for Song of the Year and being a longtime fan favorite.
Two versions of the song were produced under the Disney label at the time. One was the version seen here, with Brad Kane and Lea Salonga performing as their characters. The other was a pop/R&B duet performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle, which was the version played in the movie’s end credits and also became a chart-topping single.
