Happy 10th anniversary to one of my most favorite Disney movies ever..... Aladdin! It premired November 25, 1992. My first true Disney obsession was this movie- it switched to Beauty and the Beast a few years later. I've seen it a total of about 19 times and know it by heart. :)

Fun facts-
3 Disney characters make cameos! Genie's head becomes Pinochio at one point, Genie pulls Sebastion out of his cookbook during the prince transformation scene, and look closely at the Sultan's stack of toys and you can see the Beast!

Lea Solonga, Jasmine's original singing voice, originated the role of Kim in Miss Saigon as well as sang for Mulan. For the sequals, Liz Calloway, another Broadway singer, took over.

Aladdin went through numerous story changes and actually had an entire set of songs that were dropped from the film. Alternate versions included Aladdin's mother, 3 friends named Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, and even a second genie!

Steve Wiener (forgive me if I've misspelled his name), the speaking voice of Aladdin played DJ's boyfriend, Steve, on the series Full House.



Riffraft, street rat
I don't buy that
if only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy
No, siree
They'd find out there's so much more to me
 
One of my favorite movies too!!:)
 
Very interesting, AB, I didn't realize Alladin was that old.
 
Thanks for reminding us, Angiebelle! I just flipped my Disney calendar for today, a little late, and saw the same thing. I also found out some more trivia...

"In developing Aladdin's character, animator Glen Keane found inspiration in three real-life people: Tom Cruise for his looks, Michael J Fox for his personality, and rapper MC Hammer for his clothes."
I never knew that!
 

Ooh Aladdin is my favorite movie too! And I have the same calendar, I just read that when I changed the page today.
 
Angie, Aladdin's speaking voice is Scott Weinger.

Lea is now on Broadway in Flower Drum Song. She looks a little like Jasmine!:D
