Line 29:
** The film wasn't allowed to be nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay because too much of the Genie's dialogue consisted of Robin Williams' ad libs.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: The Genie, a creature that bends logic on a regular basis, is missing a marble or two, which makes his relentless over-the-top personality nothing short of amazing.
* [[Crossover Ship]]:
** There is a surprisingly large contingent of people who like shipping Jasmine/[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|Esmeralda]], which most likely comes from their statuses as [[Ms. Fanservice]] and their [[Token Minority Couple|similar designs]]. While there are plenty of fans who ship the streetwise dancing girl with Aladdin as well, that pairing's numbers are nowhere near as high.
** [[Ho Yay|Aladdin]]/[[Hercules (1997 film)|Hercules]] also has a pretty devoted following. It helps that the characters shared an ''actual'' crossover between their respective television shows, in which, despite [[Let's You and Him Fight|getting off on the wrong foot]], they soon come to an understanding and [[Fire Forged Friend|become good friends by the end]] with Aladdin telling Hercules that he's on his way to becoming a great hero.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Jafar has fans that see him this way, saying that he just wants to save his home from ruin that's caused by an idiot sultan, a con artist. and an irresponsible princess. [[Sarcasm Mode|Uh huh]]. Remember that he commits treason, tries to murder Aladdin twice, enslaves the ruler and his daughter, and planned to use his last wish to make the latter fall in love with him ([[Attempted Rape|meaning that anything he would've done to her would've been without her true consent]]). Also, Jafar was pretty much already in charge by hypnotizing the Sultan and tried to openly assume power out of egotism more than anything, and hated the Sultan despite the guy trusting and respecting him.
* [[Ear Worm]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltcMueAFEl0 Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa! Strong as ten regular men, definitely!]
Line 62 ⟶ 65:
** 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 Molester]]: Jafar, so very much. Brainwashing a 16-year old princess into being your sex slave? Way to stay classy.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** "Prince Ali, X is he, Ali Ababwa!"
Line 79 ⟶ 83:
* [[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 has the unfortunate tendency of being on the receiving end of this. His detractors cite the fact that he's a thief and that he lied to Jasmine about his true identity, even though Aladdin only stole food because outside circumstances forced him to do it out of survival, and he had no other choice ''but'' to lie if he wanted to legally court Jasmine since Agrabah's marriage laws dictated that the princess could only marry a price. Even with this in mind, Aladdin still does the right thing in the end by [[Pet The Dog|giving some homeless kids the food he initially stole anyway]] and later, he outright ''apologizes'' to Jasmine for lying to her. She herself even [[Understanding Boyfriend|acknowledges that there were no other options available for him at the time, so keeping his true identity a secret from her was understandable.]]
* [[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.
* [[Signature Song]]: "A Whole New World".
