** 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.

* [[Smurfette Breakout]]: Jasmine is a supporting character while the story is about Aladdin, but she is included in the [[Disney Princess]] franchise and is actually the only princess in the lineup who isn't the main character in her film.

* [[Squick]]: Jafar isn't particularly attractive on his own, but any scene where he puts advances on Jasmine makes him look even slimier, causing major squick! Even in the movie's own universe, Abu and Iago have a Squick noise at Jasmine and Jafar's kiss. Jasmine looks pretty grossed out as well during that.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: Genie's goodbye to Aladdin made some ''fathers'' in the audience cry.

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: It has been speculated that Jafar is a depiction of a "true" Arab, while Aladdin and Jasmine are simply "exotic"-looking. Several background characters are also Middle Eastern stereotypes. Some "Arabic writing" that we see is actually random squiggles instead of real words...
