Factual error: The animators have clearly tried to make all the writing in the film look Arabic. However in one scene we see the faces of Jafar and the Sultan as they read a scroll. Their eyes move from left to right; Arabic is read right to left.

Aladdin tricks Jafar into using his third wish to become an all-powerful genie. However, Jafar didn't count on having to be confined inside of his own lamp, and gets himself sucked into it, dragging Iago with him. The palace and everyone inside goes back to normal, and Genie sends Jafar's lamp to the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin then uses his third wish to free Genie, and the sultan changes the law so that the princess may marry whomever she deems worthy. Jasmine immediately chooses Aladdin, and the Genie departs to go see the world.

Genie: But oh, to be free. Not to have to go "Poof! What do you need, "Poof! What do you need, Poof! What do you need?" To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world. But what am I talking about? Let's get real here, that's never gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus.
Trivia: Because Robin Williams ad-libbed or improvised so many of his lines, the film was ruled ineligible for the Adapted Screenplay category at the Academy Awards.

Answer: Aladdin is referring to the person riding the horse as being a "horse's ass" in the way he is acting, thus the horse the person was riding on has two rear ends, his own and the rider.
