Line 124:
** Similarly, the song "A Guy Like You" from the earlier animated Disney film ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'' also featured a piano in the Middle Ages.
*** Also, ''poledancing'' during the "Topsy-Turvy" number.
* Disney's ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' toys with this during "A Whole New World", where classic era Roman columns are spied by Jasmine and Aladdin. Not in ruins, either. Someone at Disney must have taken it literally, because the Disney TV series had a [[Crossover]] episode with [[Hercules (1997 film)
** There's also the Sphinx being chiselled out of stone. Estimates of its age cover a huge range, but it's definitely much older than Islam.
** The Genie's gags are 90% anachronistic in all the movies as well as the [[Animated Series]]. But it can be [[Hand Wave|handwaved]] by "near omnipotency". [[Word of God]] (in the DVD commentary) is that the Genie can and ''has'' time-travelled.
Line 141:
* In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|TMNT]]'', four Aztec generals from over 2000 years ago are named with Spanish names. Not only did the Spanish language not exist back then, but it would not arrive to Mexico till after 1492 AD. Also includes [[Spexico]].
** The presence of Aztec generals is a major case of [[Newer Than They Think]], too. The Aztec empire was created in the fourteenth century, and the ethnic group first came into the area around 6th century AD at the earliest.
* Completely averted in the upcoming Pixar film ''[[Brave]]'', which takes place in medieval Scotland... ...until [[Toy Story (franchise)
** Its worth noting that the appearance of the Pizza Planet truck is a recurring in-joke in Pixar films, arguably justifying this presence. It's supposed to be hidden in the Witch's hut somewhere.
** Also worth noting is that the exact time period was made intentionally unclear (between the 8th and 12th centuries). And they also have corsets, which weren't invented until centuries later.
