In the scene where Aladdin is escaping from the cave in the magic carpet, he doesn't lose his hat in any moment, despite its being a frenetic, very fast and roller coaster-esque escape. It should have fallen off at some point. [Without knowing how tightly his hat fit you cannot call this a mistake.] Corrected by papajim

When Jasmine is accused of stealing at the apple stand, she says she has no money. Coinage was a rarity at that time period and bartering was much more common, so why didn't the vendor or Jasmine consider those enormous gold or brass earrings and headband? [Jasmine was unfamiliar with markets and, being a Princess, the concept of bartering as well. I have just watched the scene and her headband is never visible to the vendor and her earrings, while partially visible, are very close in color to her scarf; this could easily explain why the vendor failed to notice them, particularly combined with Aladdin's fast talking rescue of Jasmine distracting the vendor.] Corrected by OneHappyHusky

Why does the Apple Vendor exclaim "No one steals from my CART" when Jasmine gives the small street urchin boy the apple? It was a market stall like all the others, Without Wheels. Why did he call it a cart? [Because this is a children's movie and the writers will choose the words most recognizable and easy to understand. In the US (where the movie was made) the word stall (especially to kids) a place where horses are kept and the booths in market places are commonly called stands or carts, whether they have wheels or not.] Corrected by OneHappyHusky

Jafar turns Jasmine's shackles into a crown and proposes marriage, but she throws the wine at him and the crown vanishes. Later, when she tries to seduce him, she holds the crown in her hands. It wasn't in her hand or on the floor. [If you watch the movie again, the camera leaves her for a minute, giving her plenty of time to pick the crown up off-screen.]

After Aladdin is knocked out by the guards, he is thrown into the sea. His head gear floats down and starts to unravel as if it were a turban but through out the rest of the movie its just a simple cap. [When Aladdin is knocked out, he is in his Prince Ali clothes, so when his turban is shown floating down, it is correct. He only wears the cap when he is in his street rat clothing.]

Middle Eastern religions to this day prohibit men from wearing jewelry made from gold. For a man to ever wear gold is a sin worthy of eternal damnation. Sultan himself says "Praise Allah" and "Allah Forbid" any number of times. The Mystic Blue Diamond Ring he is wearing is in a yellow gold setting, obvious in the close-up in Jafar's quarters. [And yet many Muslims wear jewelry made of gold today. People have always broken religious rules, so why wouldn't the people in the film do it?]

The Magic Carpet Rids passes the Pyramids of Giza, which have already been stripped of the smooth limestone sheathing, as they appear today. This wasn't done until the 9th century by treasure seeking Arabs. The movie takes place sometime before 1 AD. [There's nothing saying this takes place before 1 AD. As many point out, the chinese building we see in the movie wasn't built until 15 AD. Therefore, the Pyramids would have been stripped down by now.]

When Jasmine and her father are next to the fountain talking about the law forcing a Princess to marry a Prince, Jasmine opens the bird cage and takes out one bird, but leaves the door open as she and he father talk. The bird is replaced a few minutes later and the door is finally shut. After the conversation by the fountain, Jasmine returns to the bird cage, opens the doors, and the birds immediately fly away as a symbol of Jasmine's desire for freedom. Why didn't the caged birds fly away when the door was open for so long a few minutes earlier? They wasted no time to make a break for freedom when the cage was opened the second time. [When Jasmine first opened the bird cage she did it softly. The second time she did it forcefully and unexpectantly, which caused the birds to be surprised, hence why they flew away.]

The patches on Aladdin's trousers change constantly throughout the movie. [Not specific enough, he could have a few pairs of pants. Please state the scenes.]

During the 'Whole New World' number on the carpet, they swoop and Aladdin tells Jasmine not to close her eyes. When that's happening, you can hear Jasmine's voice, but her lips aren't moving. [This is a musical numbr, and there are many times in the movie(Whole New World especially) where the mouths don't move during a song. This is done because the song is not linear with the scene, they are on a montage and we are getting the content of their feelings through song, they are not nessecarily singing to each other(this goes for most musicals).]

When the apple vendor threatens to cut off Jasmine's hand, Aladdin rushes in, grabs the sword from the vendor, and hands it to Jasmine, who hides the sword behind her back. Immediately following, Aladdin takes Jasmine by the shoulders and says "I've been looking all over for you." Notice that her hands are now in front of her and the sword is nowhere to be seen. [It's called Hammerspace, which is a cartoon physic which lets them hide things in a small space and without it showing or bulging in any way. Just another example of how the cartoon world is different from ours.]

The movie takes place before 1 AD, but the Chinese Imperial Palace that Aladdin and Jasmine rest on during the Magic Carpet Ride scene was not constructed until the 15th century. [There is no indication within the movie that it takes place prior to 1 AD. In fact, most indications of time within the movie point to the 15th century, so a 15th century structure is not out of place.]

Throughout the movie Aladdin, the color of the feather in Sultan's turban changes from shot to shot. Sometimes it's grey, sometimes it's light blue. This is very evident in the scene showing the hypnotized Sultan telling Jasmine that she will marry Jafar. [It never changes color during any scenes, just from one scene to another, and there's nothing to say he doesn't have several turbans with different color feathers.]

This movie takes place sometime before the year one AD. When Abu rescues Aladdin from the shackles in the dungeon, he picks a padlock of type and style invented after the 15th century. [The movie cannot be before the year one AD because the Sultan says "Allah" and Allah is the Muslim name for God (the Muslim religion started only in the 7th Century), ergo the plot could have taken place in the 15th century.]

The pants everyone wears are Turkish pants, except for Aladdin's. His are a style worn in Thailand. [Quite likely Aladdin stole the pants from someone who had visited Thailand, he was a street rat remember.]

Why did Jafar need the genie's help to make Jasmine fall in love with him? Being such a powerful sorcerer couldn't he have just done it himself? [Obviously he doesn't know that particular spell. Jafar can't be an expert on everything, and you wouldn't expect an evil sorceror to be particularly well up on love spells - it just doesn't fit with the whole 'evil sorceror' thing.] Corrected by Tailkinker

Genie is in the palace garden trying to convince Aladdin to tell Jasmine the truth. At one point, Genie turns into a lighted lampshade on Aladdin's head. Aladdin pulls the chain to turn the light off. How did Aladdin know how to turn off a 20th century lighting device? [By seeing the chain it would be pretty obvious to Aladdin that that was what needed to be pulled to turn it off.]

The rule of entering the "Cave of Wonders" spoken to Aladdin by the Cave itself is, " Touch Nothing But the Lamp". It is not until Abu snatches the ruby in the Lamp Room scene that the Cave qualifies the original edict to, " You have touched the forbidden TREASURE". Aladdin and Abu have touched the Magic Carpet plenty of times before this point. [The magic carpet was presumably an exception, as it's not really treasure but more of a guide to lead them through the cave of wonders.]

Aladdin stabs his sword into Jafar the serpent, but later we see the sword and there is no blood on it. [We do not see the sword again, after Aladdin stabs it into the serpent.]

Abu does not have the lamp with him when he is thrown into the cave of wonders by Jafar. Then suddenly he pulls it out of his shirt. [Yet another instance of someone not understanding humor. The entire joke is that Abu was able to steal the lamp and hide it in his jacket before being thrown in. The fact that it doesn't bulge out of his jacket is just part of him being such a great cartoon pickpocket.]
