AJ, Mike, and Chris Minotti invite you back to 1993 and the release of the number 3 selling game for Sega's Genesis video game console, Aladdin. We dive into the game's development, including its unique Digicell transfer technology that allowed actual Disney animators to contribute to the game's graphics. We also compare it to the many, many other Aladdin games released across a variety of systems in the mid 90s, and touch upon the influence of Aladdin on the silver screen and in the theme parks. Because if your movie has a parade scene, it will surely get an actual parade in Walt Disney World!
