Last Friday, I fired up Disney+ and wanted the 1994 Aladdin animated series. I searched "Aladdin." I scrolled, checked the "Disney Channel Nostalgia" collection. Nothing.
If you are reading this, you’ve likely hit the same wall. The discrepancy between what fans remember and what is actually on the platform is jarring. I dug into the licensing data to answer the top question in our inbox: Where did the Aladdin series go?
Here is the breakdown of why it is missing, where you can actually find it, and how to secure it for offline viewing if you have the right access.
Is Aladdin Series on Disney Plus?
No, for now—everywhere. For subscribers in the United States, UK, Canada, and other checked regions, the Aladdin TV series (1994) is not currently streaming on Disney+. Aggregators that track 1,000+ services list it only as a digital purchase title. For example, on Apple TV / iTunes in the US and Germany.
This regional blackout is rare for Disney originals but confirms what many fans are seeing in their apps: the episodes exist, yet they’re living in storefronts, not in the subscription library.
Why Is the Aladdin Series Not on Disney Plus?
Based on search trends, thousands of you are asking "why isn't the aladdin series on disney plus?" every month. While Disney has never issued a formal press release explaining the omission, most of what you’ll read online is educated speculation, not an official explanation. The two hurdles below are the most commonly cited possibilities.
It is rarely technical; it is almost always legal.
The "Genie" Estate & Voice Rights
The transition from Robin Williams (movies) to Dan Castellaneta (series) for the voice of Genie was contentious in the 90s. After Williams’ passing, his estate put a 25-year restriction on commercial exploitation of his name, likeness, and similar publicity rights, which has made studios very careful about how they reuse his image or performances.
Some observers speculate this could make Disney extra cautious with Genie-centric material. But to be clear, Disney has never publicly said "this is why the TV series isn’t on Disney+."
Music Licensing Issues
The series featured an original theme song ("Arabian Nights" variations) and background scores that may have different residual payment structures than the films. We saw similar issues delay The Muppet Show coming to streaming. If the paperwork for the composers isn't cleared for "SVOD" (Streaming Video on Demand), the show can end up sitting in the vault.

Where to Watch Aladdin TV Series (Alternatives)?
Since you cannot stream it on Disney+ in the US or any of the other major checked regions right now, here are your legitimate options to watch the series.
If you want to own the episodes, digital storefronts still hold the distribution rights.
- Amazon Prime Video: You can buy individual volumes of Aladdin.
- Apple TV / iTunes: Complete seasons are available for purchase.
- Pros: High quality, legitimate.
- Cons: Expensive (approx. $1.99 per episode or $19.99 per volume).
The Germany Rumor
Current streaming data shows only purchase options on services like Apple TV in Germany, not Disney+ streaming access.
If you’re an EU-based Disney+ subscriber, the EU’s cross-border portability rules generally mean you should see your home country’s catalog when you travel, not magically unlock extra shows from the country you’re visiting. So even if the series did reappear in one EU territory someday, it wouldn’t automatically become a "Germany unlock" for everyone else.
How to Download Aladdin Series?
If you are looking for aladdin tv series where to watch free, be careful. Most "free" sites are riddled with malware.
If you have access to legitimate sources, like your own Prime Video or Apple TV purchases, or Disney+ in regions that do carry specific shows, you can use their built-in download features to watch Aladdin Series offline within the app. Third-party tools like KeepStreams for Disney Plus work.
Unlike the official Disney+ download feature, which expires after 30 days and requires the app, KeepStreams saves the video as an MP4 file on your laptop.
Quick Steps:
- Launch KeepStreams. Select Disney+ from the VIP Services.
- Scenario A: If in the US, download TaleSpin or Darkwing Duck.
- Scenario B: If accessing the German library, search for "Aladdin."
- Select the seasons and click Download Now.
Note: Always respect the Terms of Service of the streaming platform regarding VPN usage and regional restrictions.

FAQs
Q1. Is the Aladdin TV series canon?
A1. The series takes place between the first movie and the third movie (Aladdin and the King of Thieves). It fleshes out Aladdin and Jasmine’s relationship, though some animation inconsistencies make fans debate its strict continuity.
Q2. Does KeepStreams work with Disney+ Germany?
A2. Yes. KeepStreams for Disney Plus supports all regional variations of Disney+, including Disney+ DE, JP (Japan), and FR (France). If you have valid access to the German site, the downloader will work.
Q3. Why is Hercules on Disney+ but Aladdin isn't?
A3. Hercules: The Series has fewer music licensing complexities and doesn't carry the heavy legal restrictions regarding voice actor likeness rights that the Aladdin franchise struggles with.
Q4. Will the Aladdin series ever come to Disney+ US?
A4. There is no official date, and Disney hasn’t even hinted at one. What we do know is that Disney occasionally drops older "vault" material on Disney+ with little fanfare. And sometimes removes it again when licensing or strategy changes. So if the series ever appears in your region, treat it as a nice surprise, not a guaranteed permanent fixture in the catalog.
I recommend using a tool like KeepStreams to back up the content immediately if it ever appears, as older licenses often expire quickly.
Final Thoughts
Whichever path you choose, my advice as an editor is simple—archive what you love. Streaming licenses are temporary. Shows disappear overnight without warning (as we saw with Willow and The Spiderwick Chronicles). Using a tool like KeepStreams for Disney Plus isn't just about downloading; it's about ensuring that the nostalgic classics you grew up with remain accessible on your hard drive, regardless of which way the corporate winds blow tomorrow.
Until Disney sorts out the rights to the Genie's adventures, we’ll have to make our own magic.
