![]() He had no title other than prince, he had no kingdom, he had no land. ![]() Since you’re dethrowning the Sultan and Princess anyways, maybe you could give Aladdin some rubies and let him have a shot with the now broke princess. And, dude, the kid DID just give you all that power. Sure, he’s pure evil and all, but what was the point of wasting that kind of effort? What was Aladdin going to do, stop him? He had the flipping lamp, he could have become Sultan, then a Sorcerer, then done whatever else and gone about his merry way before Aladdin even mentally caught up with the situation. But, if the Carpet doesn’t count as a treasure that should not be touched, I think the cave is really underestimating the value of a flying rug.Ĥ) What was the point of Jafar trying to kill Aladdin after he claimed the lamp? Please tell me I’m not the only one that caught this? Sure, perhaps Abu, being a monkey and all, doesn’t count – but then why could Abu, a simple-minded animal, likewise be able to violate the “touch nothing but the lamp” clause?ģ) Speaking of the “touch nothing but the lamp” stipulation – we all saw them touching Carpet long before the cave has a meltdown, right?Ību steps right on him two seconds into the cave, then Carpet trolls Abu, then they’ll all buddies. So then, since the vender knows the whole story of Aladdin, is he, in fact, the Genie just wandering around, aimless and lonely now? That might be the sad, simple reality of his life after Aladdin is long gone… T_T All I know is that the vender does not reappear at the end, making him a very useless framing device for the film.Ģ) The Cave of Wonders declares that only “one may enter.” Except for you Abu, you can come in too! Although, I do recall an episode of the series where Genie’s lamp was stolen, and he was in a huff to go find it, carrying on about how wrong it is to steal someone’s home. Was his lamp stolen? Hard to say, but it’s definitely another story in and of itself. So, what’s the deal? Does Genie have to hawk cheap wares to make a living now that he’s not all powerful? Well, no, because he could “poof” himself a house and food any time he wanted, as he retained all of his magical powers. It sort of implies that the lamp has no value now that the genie is free, yet, in all later incarnations of Aladdin (the TV show, Return of Jafar, Aladdin and the King of Thieves) we’re repeatedly shown that Genie still lives there. Sure, there’s a chance that the vender is actually the Genie in human disguise, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense. The person who voiced the role is uncredited, but it’s clearly Robbin Williams (the person singing Arabian Nights, however, is not). Lets dive in!ġ) Why does the movie Aladdin start with the Genie’s lamp in the hands of a vender? However, I just watch Aladdin with my daughter, and there are a number of glaring plot hole that I think warrant far more intrigue then why Ariel didn’t pick up a pen in her film. People, how do we know that Eric uses the same writing style as the mermen and women? Think about it, even if they spoke the same exact language, the two cultures developed separately and would have created their own unique systems for writing. However, the most logical answer is usually the right one. The question was posed (the same thing I asked at age 6 when the movie was new, btw) – why doesn’t Ariel just write things down? We clearly see Ariel sign her name on Ursula’s contract, and I used to ponder why she didn’t just grab a stick and write in the sand off the bat. Okay, everyone has been freaking out about the Little Mermaid recently.
