Visible crew/equipment: Aladdin is running away from the guards with Jasmine: he counts to 3 and jumps from a roof. In the overhead shot there's an extra mat on the landing point to cushion his tumble and roll, which disappears in the following shot. Very visible, being white and along the parapet. (00:10:30)
Continuity mistake: After Aladdin is saved from drowning and lays on the couch, his hair and face are soaking wet but his clothes are dry.
Trivia: Jim Carrey was the first choice for the role of the Genie, but had to decline due to his recent involvement in a civil lawsuit.
Question: Why did the Princess not have money with her at the market? She could easily disguise herself as a lower-class person who has some amount of money with her, like the other shoppers.
Answer: Despite being a princess, Jasmine likely did not have access to money. Royals are known to never carry cash in their possession. Everything in Jasmine's life is controlled, and whatever she needs or wants is provided. She is young, naïve, and has been so pampered and sheltered from the real world that she'd probably never consider how currency works.
