Line 84:
* [[Older Than They Think]]: ''Aladdin'' is actually the '''fourth''' attempt at the "three wishes" rule for genies by Disney; it had been used twice on ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', on one regular episode and in that show's [[Duck Tales: The Movie - Treasure of The Lost Lamp|feature film]], and it was on one episode of ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]''.
* [[Painful Rhyme]]: "His forty '''fakirs''', his cooks, his '''bakers'''"... ''Ouch''. 'Fakir' in English is usually pronounced "fah-KEER", or ''maybe'' "FAY-KEER", but not the same as "faker". Also, technically, since all those people are just creations of the Genie, they're ''all'' [[Stealth Pun|fakers.]]
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Aladdin hashimself thegets unfortunatethis tendencya oflot.

* [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]]: This was the film that really set the trend of [[Anachronism Stew]] and [[Parental Bonus]] in animated films, on top of casting popular comedian Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie, which was different to what Disney and most other companies were doing at the time since A-List actors did not star in speaking roles before. However, this has influenced countless subsequent movies such as [[Shrek]], and it was worn so thin by the time [[Quest for Camelot]] came around that only Genie could really get away with it.
* [[Signature Scene]]: The showstopping "Friend Like Me" number is ''the'' most famous part of the film.
