Aladdin is a 1992 animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, adapting the Middle Eastern folk tale of Aladdin from One Thousand and One Nights into the story of a street urchin who wins the love of a princess with the help of a wish-granting genie. The film is widely remembered for Robin Williams' improvisational vocal performance as the Genie, which drew heavily on his stand-up comedy style rather than a conventional scripted delivery. Aladdin was one of the highest-grossing films worldwide on its original release and is widely regarded as one of the defining titles of the Disney Renaissance period of the late 1980s and 1990s.
