The commercial opens with three kids sitting on the grass when one kid said he played Disney’s Aladdin for the Sega Genesis then in-game shots of the levels Desert, Palace and Cave of Wonders are shown then one of his friends want to see proof so the other is turned into a dog, the kid bursts out in laughter then is turned into a fire-plug. Very early 90′s almost 80′s like but nice to watch. Brings back memories when Aladdin was on the height of it’s popularity.
I’ve a review in a video game magazine from 1993. The reviewer liked the humor and original of the game he also enjoyed the fluid graphics and good sound. Remember this was back when 16-bit consoles where top of the bill. He gave Aladdin a 9.8. The review also mentions, I find this very interesting, that the game developers wanted to import animation from the movie directly into the game but the difference between animating a traditional animated feature and a video game appeared to be to big and so they setup a 15 head animation staff to animate for the game resulting in best Aladdin video game ever.
