When the Sultan is flying on the magic carpet, Iago the parrot crashes into a pillar and gets his teeth knocked out. In the next shot of Iago, his teeth are all intact. [Seeing as A) Birds aren't supposed to have teeth, and B) He is owned by a sorceror, I don't see how this is a mistake.]

When Ali enters the Palace throne room, a large doorway with blue curtains is on the wall to the left of the throne. The Sultan flies past this point several times in his Carpet flight and it has vanished. [The curtains remain there the entire time. There really is only one shot of that entrance when the sultan rides the carpet and the curtains are still there.]

When Jasmine is pretending that she loves Jafar to distract him, the bottom part of her body is see-through. [I checked this whole scene a couple of times, and I never saw this. If it REALLY does happen, be more specific, ie. the certain shot with dialouge to match.]

Genie and Magic Carpet are playing chess. Genie tells Magic Carpet, "okay, move". Carpet only has a king, a bishop and two pawns. Carpet picks up the king and moves it fully across the board to capture Genie's queen and put him into check, (possibly checkmate). A king may only move one space at a time in any direction, therefore, that move was illegal. Afterwards Genie says, "I'm being beaten by a rug", and does not question the legality of the move. [The very fact that Genie is being beaten by a rug should suggest to you that he's not very good at chess, and possibly doesn't know the rules very well, which is why he doesn't even notice when the carpet cheats.]

When Jafar escapes from the guards, their hats change from white with gold bands to gold with white bands. [They stay exactly the same between the shots in which Jafar is about to use the smoke, and the following shot when he's disappeared the hats are the same as they were before he disappeared.]

The jacket for the original home video VHS release of Aladdin has flaws in the images on the front and back covers. The huge image of Aladdin on the cover is shown in his "Street Rat" clothing riding the Magic Carpet with Jasmine behind him. This never happened in the movie. Jasmine only rode the Magic Carpet with Aladdin dressed as Prince Ali or wearing his closing scene "Honeymoon" attire. Another error is that Jasmine is wearing a green outfit that was always shown as blue in the movie. The back cover shows the Oasis scene incorrectly. Aladdin is at the table from the "I'm your Maitre'd" part of the "Friend Like Me" song. Genie is holding the microphone from when he first asks Aladdin his name. Genie is also wearing the "Let's make some magic" magician's outfit which is missing its giant grey cuffs. [VHS or DVD cover art is not a mistake. ]

The Prince Ali song includes the line," He's got Slaves, He's got Servants and Flunkies." The new DVD coming 10/04, will exchange "Friends" for "Slaves". [They didn't change the line, I just got the DVD and it still says "he's got slaves...."]

When Abu is on the bursting lava rocks in the Cave of Wonders, right before the last two rocks blow up you can hear him say "Holy shit", if you turn your volume up. [This is not true.]

In the scene where Aladdin is in the marketplace, he's sitting on top of the vendor's booth. There's no way that it would support his weight. It's just a piece of cloth draped over some wooden poles. [If you look closely, you can see wood beams lined up underneath the cloth to support more weight.]

In the scene where Jasmine is in the marketplace and the vendor is about to cut off her hand, Aladdin jumps in and takes the sword from the vendor's hand, and the weapon vanishes in the long shot. [Aladdin hands the sword to Jasmine, who hides it behind her back and presumably tosses it out of sight.]

When Jafar does his little ditty he says "Say hello to your precious Prince Ali" and transforms Aladdin into his beggar self. Jasmine acts shocked, but she already knew that Aladdin was "the boy from the marketplace," so she shouldn't be surprised to see him dressed as he was in the marketplace. [She's surprised because, up until then, she'd believed that he was Prince Ali, who'd just been incognito down in the market (just as she was). Finding out that he'd lied and he really was just a beggar is understandably a shock.]

When the thief is first going to go into the Cave of Wonders, the lion has bottom teeth all the way across. When it shows him stepping into the cave, the bottom teeth are gone. [Since the lion is made of sand, and its mouth is an entrance, it's perfectly possible for the teeth to have retracted to let the thief step inside onto the staircase.]

Sultan is concerned that Jasmine find a suitor before her eighteenth birthday because, " He isn't getting any younger". He seems to be 70 years old in the movie. ( Disney had no official "age" for Sultan.) The law stated that a Princess must marry a Prince BEFORE her eighteenth birthday. Jasmine is now just shy of 18 years old herself. So Jasmine's Mother must have married Sultan when she was seventeen years old to follow the letter of the law and Sultan was Fifty Two years old? And that presumes that they had conceived Jasmine the first year they were married.( Sultan's 70 years minus Jasmine's apparent current age of 18 is 52 years old). Well, as Sultan said himself, "Her mother wasn't nearly so picky". [It is not unrealistic or inconceivable for a young woman who is coming of age, to be betrothed to a middle aged or even elderly man, if that man stems from the proper family that the parents approve of. In many societies the 'match' is made by the parents when the young girl is but a young child, and the girl has no say in the matter. Jasmine, being both independent and stubborn challenges this law.]

In the dungeon scene, Jafar in disguise as an old man has just told Aladdin of the treasure. Iago, the parrot, pokes his head out from under the shawl to say, " Jafar, can you hurry up, I'm dying in here." The creators of the film must have intended for the audience to know Iago was concealed in that disguise for a reason besides to point out Jafar in disguise, but Iago was never heard from again throughout the "Cave of Wonders" scenes. Maybe Jafar dropped Iago somewhere when he picked up the horse he rode to the cave. [It's only the submitter's opinion that the animators had some ulterior motive for showing Iago hidden in the costume. That doesn't make this a mistake.]

The Sultan is not wearing a the "sacred blue diamond" when Jafar cons him out of it. Suddenly, the diamond appears on the Sultan's hand. [As a rule in most cartoons, a character usually always appears the same; clothes, hair, etc. If there is something about them that is only relevant to the scene (Sultan's ring) it will only appear for the time it is needed.]

The biggest thing that stands in Aladdin's way with Jasmine is the law (a princess can only marry a prince). Instead of wishing to be a prince, why doesn't he wish that the law be different? Honesty is a key element to this movie, and something that the Genie stresses, still no one thinks of this alternative to lying? [Actually, towards the beginning of the movie when Aladdin finds out that Jasmine is the princess, he says something along the lines of "She'll never like me, I'm just a street rat." The wish wasn't just so she'd be allowed to marry him, but so she'd be impressed and WANT to marry him.]

When Jafar is taking the half bug piece from the peasant, it looks like the piece he needs, later though, it is the piece he already has. [The two pieces of the bug are cast from the same mold. If you watch, Jafar rotates the piece that he takes from the thief. It looks the same, but it is the piece he needs.]

When Aladdin and Jasmine have just jumped from one roof to another (going to Aladdin's home), Abu has 3 apples, but when Aladdin throws Abu the stick, all the apples are gone. [Abu has already shown his ability to hide largish objects on his person (ie: the lamp in the cave of wonders).]

At the end of 'A Whole New World' sequence in Bejin (Peking), when Jasmine confronts Aladdin with his (more or less) true identity, she forgets to ask him how he can be alive in the first place, since Jafar has reported to her that he had been executed. [Jasmine already knows that Jafar is no good. She's suspected Aladdin's true identity since the very beginning of the ride, and probably assumes that Jafar lied to her.]

In the movie all of the guards have swords. The blades design is basically small near the hilt (the handle of the sword), and gradually gets wider and rounder near the end of it. Well, the sheath (the carrying case) of the sword is the same shape as the sword. Because of this, it would be impossible for the swords to be slid back into the sheath, the reason being that the larger end of the blade would not fit through the top of the case, for it's too small. [The swords are not kept in scabbards at all. They are kept tucked into the belt and are drawn by simply pulling them out of their belt.]
