Aladdin (1992)This new version persists on the Disney+ version of the film, which also features another edit. Now, a scene where Aladdin says, “good tiger, take off and go,” has had its volume lowered after accusations that it sounded like “c'mon teenagers, take off your clothes.”
After Shaheen protested against the film alongside the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Disney agreed to alter the lyrics in Arabian Nights for Aladdin's video release in 1993, and defended it, as it was a rare film to feature an Arab hero and heroine.
Clearly, Disney's version of Aladdin used the same bare-bones story, and just added some more fun to it. They gave the princess and genie more personality, changed the setting to reflect something closer to the setting of One Thousand and One Nights, and just jazzed up a few of the story elements.
After receiving criticism last year, Disney is changing the way it addresses racism in its older animated films. On Oct. 15, Disney Plus introduced a new disclaimer that appears before older films like Dumbo (1941) and Aladdin (1992), warning viewers that the films include harmful stereotypes.
Instead of the film ending with Jasmine's father changing the law, at the end of the new film, the Sultan changes the law so he can give the throne to Jasmine and she is the one who rewrites the law to allow her to marry Aladdin.
How Aladdin Changed Animation (by Screwing Over Robin Williams)
What was the original ending of Aladdin?
This original ending, which had the departing peddler hopping off his camel and transforming in a whirlwind to Genie, had been drawn up in detailed storyboards and played against "Arabian Nights" sung by lyricist Howard Ashman. Clements says test audiences even saw the rough ending and loved it.
Robin Williams Denied His Voice To Be Used For 25 Years
Whether Disney was actually planning Aladdin 4 before the untimely death of Robin Willaims or not, Willaims made it clear in his will that he didn't want his voice clips from the original Aladdin to be used in any media for the next 25 years after his death.
The original Aladdin story was actually set in China. Aladdin is one of the stories compiled in The Thousand and One Nights — a collection of Middle Eastern and Indian folk tales, however, it did not appear in the original Arabic text.
Such warnings appear when users go to watch films such as Dumbo, Fantasia, Lady and the Tramp and The Jungle Book, all of which have been criticised for including racist imagery. “This programme is presented as originally created,” the message reads. “It may contain outdated cultural depictions.”
Conclusion: The Super NES takes the victory for this round as it got many things right in the gameplay. Both games play very similar to the other, but it came down to Super NES having accessible mechanics. Using Aladdin's acrobatic moves to swing from poles, jumping on enemies and grabbing ledges went further.
Stronger relationships. Thanks to needless scenes cut (like Aladdin's meeting Jafar in the prison), Disney could develop the characters and their relationships. The most was the Genie and Aladdin's. In the original, Genie had a pity party when he learned Aladdin wasn't going to set him free.
While the princess in the original tale is named Badroulbadour, the studio decided to rename the character the more familiar "Jasmine" after actress Jasmine Guy. Additionally, the name was also among the decade's most popular at the time.
A broken agreement over merchandising led to a public feud between Disney and Robin Williams, resulting in his recasting and a sour relationship. Disney's new chairman eventually issued a public apology to Williams, resolving the feud and bringing him back to voice the Genie in a later Aladdin installment.
Storyline wise it's just a short reprise of the main film really, and it truly is short, even for an animated move. The worst aspect is, of course, the lack of Robin Williams portraying the Genie, Dan Castellaneta does his best, but he's only ever a poor imitation of the original performance.

For many of us, Disney's Fantasia was our first introduction to the playground of the imagination that is the orchestra. Walt Disney himself said, “In a profession that has been an unending voyage of discovery in the realms of color, sound and motion, Fantasia represents our most exciting adventure.” The story of how ...
Princess Jasmine, a fictional character from Disney's animated film "Aladdin," is not explicitly identified as Indian in the movie. Instead, she is depicted as a resident of the fictional city of Agrabah, which is often seen as a blend of Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures and influences.
“Jasmine is called a “Muslim Princess” by some sources though the movie draws heavily from multiple cultures, including a lot of Indian influences (her father wears a turban which is usually a Sikh tradition, though some Muslim men do wear turbans so it doesn't necessarily indicate a specific belief or origin?).
The lyrics to the version of "Arabian Nights" heard in this film were lifted from the original demo version of the song. Robin Williams was not a part of this movie due to a disagreement with Disney (see trivia for Aladdin (1992). Walt Disney Television Animation Australia animates the first 34 minutes of the film.
