Line 16:
** The first lyrics in "Friend Like Me" include a reference to the Forty Thieves. Flash forward to the third movie and learn that Aladdin's father is their leader (and would've been during the first movie's events).
** In one scene of the first movie, Jafar deceives Jasmine into believing that Aladdin has been [[Off with His Head|executed "by beheading"]] (while Al is actually alive and imprisoned). In the first sequel, Al is condemned to death by decapitation, and nearly beheaded by [[Public Execution]] when Genie arrives in time to save him in a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment. In the TV series's episode, Al finally gets his head "cut off" by Caliph Kapok... [[Losing Your Head|or rather separated]], since the rest of Al's body is still alive while his friends find a way to reunite it with his head. Weird.
* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]:
** Aladdin. Barring the characters that he's been shipped with from within canon ([[Official Couple|Jasmine]], [[Ho Yay|Genie]], [[Foe Yay Shipping|Jafar, Mozenrath]]), [[Crossover Ship|it's also not uncommon to see him paired off with characters from various other Disney films]]. [[The Little Mermaid|Ariel, Eric]], [[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Belle]], [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Esmeralda]], [[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules, Megara]], [[Treasure Planet|Jim Hawkins]], [[The Princess and the Frog|Tiana]], and [[Tangled|Rapunzel]] are just some of the more notable examples.
** This isn't to say that Jasmine hasn't also accumulated her fair share of ships, crossover or not. Numerous fan works have been dedicated to pairing her off with the likes of [[No Yay|Jafar]], [[Foe Yay Shipping|Mozenrath]], [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Esmeralda]], [[The Little Mermaid|Ariel]], [[Hercules (1997 film)|Megara]], [[Beauty and the Beast (1991 film)|Belle]], [[Mulan|Li Shang]], [[The Princess and the Frog|Prince Naveen]]... the list just keeps going on.
* [[Love to Hate]]: Jafar.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Prince Ali, X is he, Ali Ababwa!"
Line 29 ⟶ 32:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Genie's goodbye to Aladdin made some ''fathers'' in the audience cry. It's even harder to watch now due to Robin Williams' passing.
** When Jasmine thinks that Aladdin has been executed, and she realizes: "I didn't even know his name!"
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: One of the lyrics from the opening number "Arabian Nights" - "where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face. It's barbaric, but hey! It's home" [http://articles.latimes.com/1993-07-10/entertainment/ca-11747_1_altered-lyric under fire] came under fire for being offensive towards Middle Eastern people and their culture. The line was later changed to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense" for the VHS release to assuage these concerns.
