>better music taken from the film
Taken from the film ok (not all tracks though, there are originals too), but Capcom game has a nice rendition of A Whole New World. Also the Capcom game also has a quality soundtrack.
>more interesting, non-linear levels with collectibles
They are not more interesting, in fact the level design is one of Virgin's weak points.
>better animations/visuals
Animations, sure, no contest. Visuals? Debatable and arguably Capcom did a much better job, taking advantage of the SNES' colors. Compare Aladdin's sprite in both games, on Capcom's game he has a lot more details due to color shades and shadows. Backgrounds are also a lot more busy and detailed on Capcom's game, with parallax effects and what not. Virgin's game looks kinda dry most of the time.
>motherfucking sword
Which... has a rather wonky hitbox and range, and doesn't really feel satisfying to use since, due to obviously this being a Disney game, they wouldn't allow actual sword violence, thus enemies just pop in dust as if they were balloons when you kill them. Also most of the time you'll be spamming apples anyway.
Controls, hitboxes and land detection is the other weak point of Virgin's game.

Virgin's had the better sprite animation, due to actual disney animators working on it, and Perry's digitalized sprite technique.
Capcom's had better overall graphics (more detailed backgrounds, more detailed sprites, despite not having animation as fluid as Virgin's), better level design, better controls, better final boss.
Music was good in both.
