Movies that feel likeAladdin (2019)

A kindhearted street urchin named Aladdin embarks on a magical adventure after finding a lamp that releases a wisecracking genie while a power-hungry Grand Vizier vies for the same lamp that has the power to make their deepest wishes come true.

If you loved Aladdin, the closest films we have are The Little Mermaid (2023), Stardust (2007) and Beauty and the Beast (2017). All three share Aladdin's dreamlike and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Pete's Dragon (2016).

The Little Mermaid poster
The Little Mermaid
2023 · dir. Rob Marshall
🍅 67%★ 7.2adventure · family · fantasyDisney+

Another Disney remake of longing, first love and a bigger world

The difference: Slower underwater stretches — the pace drifts between songs

The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. With mermaids forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

Stardust poster
Stardust

🍅 77%★ 7.6adventure · fantasy · romanceParamount+

A charming nobody chasing a magical prize to win a heart

The difference: No songs — a storybook adventure with a wry British streak

In a countryside town bordering on a magical land, a young man makes a promise to his beloved that he'll retrieve a fallen star by venturing into the magical realm. His journey takes him into a world beyond his wildest dreams and reveals his true identity.

Beauty and the Beast poster

Lavish live-action fairy-tale romance built around beloved songs

The same mix in both: scale, then dream logic

The difference: Takes it somewhere less cozy than Aladdin does

A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. She rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her heart into stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading King's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

A gentle remake that finds real wonder in its magical friend

The difference: Quiet and unhurried — no villain worth fearing, no numbers

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace, who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales... until she meets Pete, a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie, an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

Wicked poster

One thread runs through both: musical

The difference: Leans harder into drama than Aladdin does

In the land of Oz, ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda at Shiz University, and the two's unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
