Movies that feel likeAladdin (1992)
If you loved Aladdin, the closest films we have are The Little Mermaid (1989), Hercules (1997) and The Last Unicorn (1982). All three share Aladdin's whimsical and warm feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998).

If Aladdin hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: The Return of Jafar (1994)

The same directors' formula of yearning, songs and a grand villain
The difference: A more earnest princess tale — less anarchic comedy

Fast, wisecracking mythology with a scene-stealing villain having fun
The difference: Punchier and more cartoonish — less swoon, more sports-arena gags

A wistful animated quest steeped in magic and longing
The difference: Melancholy where Aladdin is brash — it aches, not jokes

Big-hearted musical fantasy where one wish sets everything spinning
The difference: Sisterhood over romance, and a colder, snow-quiet palette

Peak Disney romance with showstopper numbers and a storybook glow
The difference: Slower and more gothic — enchantment indoors, not open sky

Sweeping animated adventure about someone hiding who they really are
The difference: Darker and more haunted — history's weight instead of desert sparkle

A musical fantasy world ruled by mischief and showmanship
The difference: Gothic and macabre — cozy, but in a graveyard key

Flight, pirates and storybook wonder for the whole family
The difference: Thin sequel animation — the wonder feels secondhand

Whimsical where it counts, warm underneath
The difference: Easier on the romance than Aladdin

Both are built on the same subject: villain

Disney-era wit and heart wrapped around a hero's self-making
The difference: A war story at its core — romance barely registers

A rash wish that goes wrong inside a bold, spirited kingdom
The difference: No romance and no genie — mother and daughter carry the whole film
