Disney Movie Sunday

Ever Sunday I am going to pick a movie and talk about it, this weeks movies is.....


Aladdin......

I just rewatched this movie, as I have not seen in in a very long time, and thought that this would be the movie I pick to blog about this week. Aladdin is a story about a young man and his best friend Abu, this story is very sweet and a great love story, but it is not centered around a princess the whole movie, it is more about Aladdin, which I think is a great movie for boys to watch also. Aladdin is also a good move because it can teach girls how to find someone they love not based on looks or where they come from but who the person is on the inside.

Facts about the movies.

• When the film was first released on VHS in October 1993, it sold over 10.8 million copies in its first week and went on to sell over 25 million in total. This record stood for only two years when it was beaten by the release of The Lion King.
• The color design of the film was inspired by old Persian miniatures and Victorian paintings of the Middle East.  
• Jafar at first was more hot-tempered, while Iago was a cool, haughty British type. The filmakers felt that having Jafar losing his temper too much made him less menacing, so the personalities of the two characters were switched around. 
• Whenever Aladdin tells a lie, the plume on his hat falls and covers his face.  
• When Aladdin realizes that he might become the next sultan he worries and the Genie tries to cheer him up by saying, "Aladdin, you've just won the heart of the princess! What are you going to do next?", setting him up for the popular Disney advertising campaign line, "I'm going to Disney World!" Aladdin does not say this, but we hear the Disney theme music in the background. Similarly, when the Genie gets ready to leave at the end of the film, he is wearing a Disney souvenir Goofy hat. 

Quotes from the movie:

•  Merchant: Look at this! Yes! Heh, heh. Combination hookah and coffee maker, also makes Julienne fries. Will not break!
  [taps it on table]
  Merchant: Will not-
  [it falls apart]
  Merchant: It broke! 
• Princess Jasmine: Father, I choose Prince Ali!
  Jafar: Prince Ali left!
  [shows Aladdin standing in the doorway to the balcony]
  Aladdin: Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!
  Princess Jasmine: Prince Ali!
  Iago: How in the he- Uh, awk!
