Jasmine 's song " A Whole New World " , which she performs as a duet with Aladdin , won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 65th Academy Awards in 1993 . Six years after '' Aladdin '' , Lea Salonga would be cast as the singing voice of Mulan in 1998 . Salonga joked about being required to audition for the role despite having already voiced a Disney Princess : " Why do I have to audition ? ... I was already a princess before . Was n't that enough ? " Meanwhile , Larkin would return to voice Jasmine several times in subsequent media appearances , including films , television series and video games . As the two actresses responsible for giving voice to the character , both Larkin and Salonga were honored with Disney Legends Award for their contributions in 2011 at a ceremony recognized for awarding several other actresses who famously voiced Disney Princesses . In addition to songwriters Menken and Tim Rice , Salonga jokingly thanked Larkin in her acceptance speech for not being able to sing and thus providing her with a job opportunity . Salonga became the Disney Legend Award 's first Filipina recipient ; her hand print is also imprinted at the Walt Disney headquarters in Burbank , California
