Browsing IMDB I came across two making of TV specials from 1992. It made me realise that I never seen them as a whole. I would be greateful if anyone that has them could upload the specials for me.

It's The Making of 'Aladdin': A Whole New World hosted by John Rhys-Davies. I seen a clip about the music at an Alan Menken site but I never heard of Aladdin: Inside the Magic. Did it had new information besides the other special and the making of book?

I just looked it up on IMDB and both have the same director, so my guess is that it's just two different names for the same show.

Huh, it says it was written by John Culhane; that's the same guy who wrote Aladdin: the Making of an Animated Film. Did not know that!

My mom actually taped that special (which was pretty prescient of her, since I hadn't even seen the movie yet), but I forgot to bring it with me when I moved. I'll need to look for that next time I visit...

I have the The Making of 'Aladdin': A Whole New World hosted by John Rhys-Davies on VHS tape. It's nothing that we don't already know from the DVD, but it's kind of a neat summary of the characters, movie, and how they put it all together.

But that second one I have not heard of....
