Loveable street rat Aladdin (Scott Weinger) meets Jasmine
(Linda Larkin) while she’s disguised as a commoner and the two hit it off. But
the Sultan’s (Douglas Seale) advisor, Jafar (Johnathan Freeman), tries to use
Aladdin to recover the lamp from a very fussy cave. Aladdin ends up master to
the Genie (Robin Williams) and tries to be close to Jasmine again.
The number one realisation I had was during the ‘A Whole New
World’ song. How obvious is it now that “a magic carpet ride” is totally an
innuendo? I mean, come on now, the whole song is littered with them. “Hold your
breath, it gets better”? “I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder, over,
sideways and under on a magic carpet ride”? Come on! Clearly worked, she didn’t
like him before the song and then afterwards she kissed him. Innuendos are
obviously winners.
