Trivia:
Production designer Richard Vander Wende devised a simple color scheme for the film, inspired by its desert setting. Blue (water) stands for good, red (heat) for evil, and yellow (sand) is neutral. For example, the villainous Jafar is clad in blacks and reds, while the virtuous Jasmine wears blue. Another example is in the Cave of Wonders, where the lamp's chamber is blue, and the ruby that tempts Abu is bright red.

Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the "Whole New World" music sequence, we can see Aladdin and Jasmine descending down on their magic carpet, and we can hear Jasmine singing, "A Whole New World," but her mouth is not moving. This is right after she sings "Through an endless diamond sky..."

Random Thoughts on "Aladdin", 15 June 2005
Author:
Miguel E. Rodriguez from Land O'Lakes, FL
Just watched this recently, on the new-and-improved DVD which features
a restored print, and it looks spectacular. The story is slightly
shallower than the best of Disney's films, but this is balanced by the
sheer lunacy of Robin Williams' bad, blue Genie. Whoever first thought
of putting Robin Williams in a Disney flick should get a Pulitzer, or a
Nobel, or something. The comic timing of his riffs combined with the
comic timing of the animators transform the Genie from a "Deus Ex
Machina" into the soul of "Aladdin."
I have a tiny issue with the fact that the most recent VHS and DVD
prints of the movie have bowed to pressure from activist groups and
altered a line in the opening song. The original line was, "...where
they cut if your ear if they don't like your face/It's barbaric, but
hey, it's home." The revised line reads, "...where the land is immense
and the heat is intense/It's barbaric, but hey, it's home." Protesters
claimed the original line perpetuated a negative stereotype of Arab
countries and peoples. But...but...but marketplaces and cities in
Arabian countries still cut the hands off convicted thieves. And
there's even a scene in the film which threatens to relieve the
princess of an appendage. They're not being negative; they're being
accurate. And, oh yeah, IT'S A CARTOON. But that's just my opinion.
