In preview screenings for the movie, nobody was applauding after the big song numbers. The animators wanted applause and therefore somebody stuck the Genie with an "Applause sign" at the end of "Friend Like Me." The joke worked and the "Applause sign" was kept. (edit) Not only is the plot similar to The Thief of Baghdad, but character names Jafar and Abu were apparently borrowed from the script by Biro Lajos. The characters in the silent original, The Thief of Baghdad, were not given names. (edit) The lyrics of the opening song, "Arabian Nights", were changed for the video release due to pressure from groups who were offended by the original lyrics. The original lyrics were: "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." The new lyrics are: "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense". (edit)

A Whole New World
Aladdin: I can show you the world; Shining, Shimmering, Splendid. Tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes! Take you wonder, by wonder: Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride! A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, no one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming...
Jasmine: A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew, but when I'm way up here, its crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you. (Aladdin(Accompanying): Now I'm in a whole new world with you!) Unbelievable sights... (bird squawks in shock) indescribable feelings, soaring tumbling free-wheeling through and endless diamond sky! A whole new world... (Aladdin (Accompanying): Don't you dare close your eyes...) A hundred thousand things to see (Aladdin (Accompanying): Hold your breath if its better!) I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far, and I can't go back to where I used to be, (Aladdin (Accompanying): A whole new world...) every turn a surprise.
Aladdin: With new horizons to pursue...
Aladdin and Jasmine: I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare, let me share this whole new world with you...
Aladdin: A whole new world...
Jasmine: A whole new world...
Aladdin: A thrilling chase...
Jasmine: A wondrous place...
Aladdin and Jasmine: For you and me... (edit) Genie: So what'll it be, master?
Aladdin: You're gonna grant me any 3 wishes I want, right?
Genie: (imitating William F. Buckley) Uh, ah, almost. There are a few, uh, provisos. Ah, a couple of quid pro quo.
Aladdin: Like?
Genie: (normally) Uh, rule #1, I can't kill anybody. (cuts his head off) So don't ask. A-rule #2! (fixes his head) I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody else. (smooches Aladdin) You little punim there. RULE #3!! (turns into a slimy Genie, and imitating Peter Lorre) I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture. I DON'T LIKE DOING IT!!!
(he returns to normal)
Genie: Other than that, you got it! (edit) Aladdin: Provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? Some all-powerful Genie. He can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Abu. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here.
(Genie stomps his foot)
Genie: (imitating Robert DeNiro) 'Xcuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden, you're walkin' out on me?! I don't think so! Not right now! (points his right index finger, screaming) YOU'RE GETTIN' YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!!!!!!
(Aladdin and Abu sit down on the carpet, and Genie takes a seat there as well)
Genie: (as a flight attendant) In case of emergency, the exits are (multiplies his arms, pointing each index finger outside the carpet) here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, (stops) ANYWHERE! (arms return to 2) Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet!
(the carpet rockets up in hyperspeed)
Genie: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'RRRRRRE...
(the carpet pops out of the cave with the passengers aboard and flies back to Agrabah)
Genie: OUTTA HERE!!! (edit) Aladdin: (singing) Riffraff. Street rat. I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer, would they see a poor boy? No, siree. They'd find out... there's so much more... to me. (edit) "One Jump Ahead" Song

Aladdin:
Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
That's everything!

One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Guards:
Riffraff! Street rat!
Scoundrel! Take that!

Aladdin:
Just a little snack, guys!

Guards:
Rip him open, take it back, guys!

Aladdin:
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!

Women:
Who?
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em!

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume

One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block!

Crowd:
Stop, thief! Vandal!

Aladdin:
Abu!

Crowd:
Scandal!

Aladdin:
Let's not be too hasty

Fat Ugly Lady:
Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along

Guards:
Wrong!

Aladdin:
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Guards: Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Guards: Street rat!)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Guards: Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Guards: Take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump! (edit)

On the carpet ride, Aladdin and Jasmine fly past a full moon. A moment later, they see a half moon reflected in the water. (edit) Although the script on the scrolls appears to be Arabic, the Sultan and Jafar's eyes move from left to right as they read it, not right to left as they should have. (edit) When Jasmine first went into the market place and the guy tried to cut off her hand for stealing, Aladdin stopped him and gave the sword to Jasmine. She then put it behind her back but, when she bowed to Abu she didn't have it. (edit) When growled at by Raja, Aladdin says "Good tiger, take off and go," but everyone thought that he said "Good teenager, take off your clothes." (edit) Why is it that Jasmine is angry at Aladdin when he is pretending to be Ali and she discovers the truth? When Jafar told her that Aladdin had been killed she had been crying her eyes out. But when she realizes Ali is actually Aladdin she gets angry at his trying to deceive her. If she had been crying over him earlier, she would have been more like "Oh....You weren't killed after all!" instead of "Why did you lie to me!?" (edit)

The Lion King

When the sultan is stacking the animals he is replicating a scene from The Lion King when Simba is singing "I Just Can't Wait to Be King." (edit) Aladdin was nominated for Five Academy Awards: Best Music, Original Score (Alan Menken) Best Music, Original Song --- "A Whole New World" (Alan Menken, Tim Rice), Best Effects, Sound Effects Editing (Mark A. Mangini), Best Music, Original Song --- "Friend Like Me" (Alan Menken, Howard Ashman), Best Sound (Terry Porter, Mel Metcalfe, David J. Hudson, Doc Kane) . (edit) The stack of blocks that the Sultan plays with is sitting on a toy of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. (edit) Genie's head transforms into Pinocchio's when he doubts Al. (edit) When Genie is looking in his recipe book, he pulls out Sebastian from "The Little Mermaid". (edit)
