** Thanks to ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', one can never take the "your eternal reward" scene seriously ever again.
* [[Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales]]: Yes it's a very [[Disneyfication|Disneyfied]] take on Arabian mythos, but that didn't stop Arabs from enjoying the film. Recently, many people of Arabic descent have praised ''Aladdin'' for offering positive portrayal of Middle Eastern people, rather than depicting them as only terrorists and savages.
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Jasmine draws a lot of ire from certain feminist circles, [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?|often being regarded as poorly as the first three Disney Princesses because "all she wants to do is get married"]]. This sentiment reached its peak when the 2019 live-action ''Aladdin'' remake changed Jasmine's motivation to wanting to be the sultan, [https://comicbook.com/movies/2019/02/02/aladdin-producer-empowering-princess-jasmine-anthem-new-song/ since the film's director, and the character's actress, Naomi Scott, felt that the original film didn't give her "enough of a goal, it was really just to meet a guy"]. However, [[Author's Saving Throw|what was meant to be an attempt to "correct" the "flaws" of the original film only brought on by pedantic nitpicking]] instead completely ignores the fact that Jasmine didn't even want to be royalty and that ''if'', not ''when'', she decided to get married, she wanted it to be to someone she loved for who he is as opposed to what he owns. The Sultan eventually changes the law to allow Jasmine to marry whom she chooses after realizing how much she loves Aladdin, but the live-action remake changing it so that he declares Jasmine to be the next sultan instead [[Politically-Correct History|is not only laughable considering how the film expects the audience to believe that an ancient Middle Eastern kingdom will be cool with a woman ruling over them]], [[
{{quote|'''Linda Larkin''': "Jasmine says to a generation of little kids about marriage that the law is wrong. She risks everything — her safety, her comfort, everything she knows — and goes out and finds a way to change the marriage law. And this generation of kids who saw that movie in 1992 grew up and did that in real life! I'm like, 'Yeah, she's a good role model!' Really good! Whether it's connected or not, that person that the writers created that I got to portray, I'm so proud of her. And I feel like she was ahead of her time."}}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|Jafar leaving Aladdin to die in the Cave of Wonders, once the latter gives him the lamp.}}
