This song is magical, immortalized by the voices of legendary Broadway Actress Lea Salonga and Brad Kane. The original recording never gets old, always the same feeling!
I LOVE that Alan Menken thanked Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. I loved their version of that song. I remember they used to show the music video on BET's Video Soul.

Aladdin may not be one of my Disney favorites but you sure cannot resist A Whole New World. I hope to one day to see the new stage version that opened on Broadway last year! Quincy made a beautiful arrangement for Lena when she sang Believe in Yourself in the Wiz!
The Wiz has been nominated for a Oscar for Quincy Jones' adaptation score in 1979. This was a co-production of Universal-International and Polygram Filmed Entertainment and released by Universal Pictures in late October 1978.
The fact that Alan thanked the vocalists shows that they breath life into a song once it’s written and leave an impact of the people who hear it. These four are forever cemented in my mind as the definitive vocalists, the two in context and the other on the radio. Same goes for Angela, Celine, and Peabo for Beauty and the Beast
A WHOLE NEW WORLD touches the deepest cores of my heart; my SA & AV nodes. I don't know this song just melts my heart and wets my eyes secretly with tears. 😭😍
Quite Right Too Mr Alan Menken From Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame In 1996 & Mr Tim Rice From Disney's The Lion King In 1994 Mates. Thanks Oscars Guys. X
Really strong year for this category but they still made one CRIME. They didn't nominate Madonna and her fantastic, deep, emotional and so beautiful song This Used to Be My Playground (from A League of Their Own). I'm still shocked! Without Madonna I was rooting for Whitney Houston's I Have Nothing but A Whole New World was a great winner. I don't deny that
My nominations: "Friend Like Me" from Aladdin "Love Song for a Vampire" from Bram Stoker's Dracula "Prince Ali" from Aladdin "When Love is Gone" from The Muppet Christmas Carol "A Whole New World" from Aladdin (WINNER)
@@manuelorozco7760 Same thing what actress, author, writer and producer Dame Jackie Collins has said something what she did in the industry since 1954 and she did more recently writing a few string of best selling novels such as "Hollywood Wives."

The fact that "I Have Nothing" was nominated for an Oscar in both reality and in the movie. The only difference is, in the movie, the song won, and somebody got shot. Both of those things didn't happen in reality.

I Really Like Alan Menken and Tim Rice In "Aladdin" (11/25/1992) But Also I Like Elton John & Tim Rice in "The Lion King" (06/24/1994) and "The Road to El Dorado" (03/31/2000)
@Cristina Martinez Sanchez He's wearing an AIDS ribbon. Alan's song writing partner and good friend, Howard Ashman, (who Tim Rice acknowledges) died of AIDS 3 years previously.
Wow a whole new world vs I have nothing. That's a toss up. A shame that they had to go head to head those two songs are among the best songs ever written.
other movies that were not nominated for best original song were 'its probably me'' from lethal weapon 3 music and lyrics by sting micheal kamen and eric clapton ''this used to be my playground'' from a league of their own music and lyrics by Madonna and shep pettibone ''heart of a hero'' from hero music and lyrics by luther vandross ''I will always love you'' from the bodyguard music and lyrics by dolly parton
Although these songs weren't Oscar nominated anymore, instead "Hero," "A League of Their Own," "The Bodyguard" and "Lethal Weapon 3" were honored both ASCAP and Grammy Award nominations for their contributions in film music.
Face it. If When Love is Gone was nominated, maybe, JUST MAYBE, Disney wouldn't have a reason to cut it out of the Blu-ray release of The Muppet Christmas Carol.
RIP Lena Horne, but you cracked me up with, Okay Baby Whatever You Say". That's my new catch phrase whenever some guy is paying me a compliment that's full of bologna behind it.
That’s a very good question about both songs from both movies from the folks at Paramount (Sarafina) and Warner Bros (Malcolm X). Because they’re both inspiring and teaching us how to sing along and make us feel very good. A year later, both soundtracks were nominated for an Grammy Award in 1994. So anyway thanks for this wonderful comment, Justin and god bless you.
here are a list of songs from a movie made in 1992 that was snubbed and not nominated by the 65th academy awards in 1993: ''end of the road'' from 'boomerang' ''its probably me'' from 'lethal weapon 3' ''heart of a hero' from 'hero' ''the best things in life are free'' from 'mo' money' Face To Face from Batman Returns ''this used to be playground'' from 'a league of their own' 'runaway train' from 'lethal weapon 3'
When Alan Menken won his Original Score Oscars what did this include. Was it all the music in the movie including the music part of the songs or was it just for the orchestral score parts
Looking back to the songs of that year, by far the best...this used to be my playground by Madonna. It wasn't even nominated but won songwriter awards, which was Madonna. At this time with the Oscars, she was pretty much a no no. It looks ridiculous now that this won and that wasn't nominated
Yes, in the summer of 1992, Madonna co-starred in the box office hit movie _A League of Their Own,_ which spawned the #1 hit single "This Used to Be My Playground." Usually, hit songs from hit movies get Oscar-nominated. But Madonna became 'persona non grata' in Hollywood in the fall of 1992, when she released the provocative album _Erotica_ and the quasi-pornographic book _Sex_ in quick succession. Both were controversial and endangered her career in the USA. As consequence, her _Girlie Show_ world tour in 1993 only did 4 performances stateside (3 in NYC, 1 in Philadelphia).
Well, rumor has it. "A League of Their Own" whose those theme song was "This Used to Be My Playground" was the only best song that simply comes from the box office hit movie. According to Lorraine Heindorf and Robert Kraft of Sony Music Entertainment whose responsible for many troubled productions such as "A League of Their Own" (1992) and their hit song. Although the film's hit song will get an Oscar nomination, it won't. But there's only one thing that comes to mind: the long awaited troubled production of "A League of Their Own" (1992) and its theme song "This Used to Be My Playground" has honored an 1993 Grammy Award nomination. All thanks to Sony Pictures' Lorraine Heindorf, Robert Kraft, Mark Warner, Tom C. McCarthy, Kevin O'Connell, Rick Kline and Grover Crisp for their love and support in the making of this picture.
Madonna ('This Used to Be My Playground") and Toni Braxton ("Love Shoulda Brought You Home") should have been nominated that year. Both songs were brilliant soundtracks
i don´t know, but if i hadn´t listened to the song a whole new world from peabo bryson and regina bell´s version (i love it so much), maybe i hadn´t liked that song.....
So proud that Alan thanked Lea Salonga first among the three who sung it.
pinkALHM You mean four and I think it was special for him to do that. The first time I heard Lea sing was as Mulan.
This song is magical, immortalized by the voices of legendary Broadway Actress Lea Salonga and Brad Kane. The original recording never gets old, always the same feeling!
Absolutely ❤😊
I LOVE that Alan Menken thanked Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. I loved their version of that song. I remember they used to show the music video on BET's Video Soul.
Well deserved!! 👏🏼 “A Whole new world” is one of the most iconic Disney’s songs
The best
The Best Songs of ALL TIME are all nominated on the same year... 90's songs are the BEST
This song is pure magic, i can fly when i listen her and simply i can't explain what i feel, a whole new world ♥
Yes, "A WHOLE NEW WORLD" left the rest of the songs behind...as it soared away on its magic carpet to a much-deserved Oscar win! 😊
When you hear the song you automatically think of Lea and Brad.
Absolutely 👍
I LOVE Alan Menken. If I was there I would have given him a standing ovation.
Alan Menken has given me so many childhood songs. He + Disney = amazing :D
Alan Menken gave soul to all the princess in Disney's movies. A great talent indeed.

Alan Menken = 8 Oscars and 7 Golden Globes...Just WOW! He is genius...love his songs.
