[quote="Chris"]Just found this online. It's not from the UK box art (the Genie and background were different. But it is this Al, Jas and Iago on the DVD like I mentioned, but the image is flipped so it's the other way around). http://www.geocities.com/aladdin_it/Al_scanned9.jpg[/quote]

Anyone on Disney channel who is an actor in a show basically was given the chance to sing the Circle of Life. Together they are the circle of stars *barfs*

Disney prom? You guys get everything!
I can already Al and Jas are the couple who sit in the back of the room and make out all night
Cinderella: You two aren't going to dance?
Aladdin: Well, you see, our movie didn't have a big dance scene like the rest of you, so we don't know how to dance.
Jasmine: Actually, I know how to dance because I am a princess. But it's not like if we did have one, it would be in character for you to know how to dance considering you were a street rat.
Aladdin: Exactly! *continues to make out*
And don't even mention that circle of stars crap. Goah. I am SO HAPPY they didn't do that to us. I would have puked myself inside out.

Yeah Timon's hula cracks me up every time!
I do like the soundtrack, the score is great and the songs are too, I just don't think they're of the same standard of the Ashman/Menken (and Rice) works on TLM, B+B, and Aladdin, or Menken's later work on Pocahontas (I think Savages has to be one of my all time favorites now!), Hercules and Hunchback.
I love Lebo M's version of "Circle of Life" that he performed for the opening of Animal Kingdom and the Disney Proms in London last year (man was I upset I couldn't go to that, and even more upset when they edited about half an hour out of the TV version!). His version has more passion and soul in it than either the film or Elton John versions IMO and they should have included that over the "Circle of Stars" version on the Platinum DVD.

I liked Pumbaa when I was younger, but the older I got the more I thought he annoyed me. I still love Timon because he is a smartass and steals Pumbaa's ideas to say they are his own

Nathan Lane is a really funny voice actor, but he rubs me funny, and I thought Pumbaa was annoying, so, I'm one of those rare people who doesn't really like Timon and Pumbaa all that much either.

It's a great film for what it is, but it doesn't strike any personal chords with me like Aladdin does. I know a lot of people loved it because the Gulf War had ended not too long ago and quite a few people just lost their fathers, so seeing Simba lose his gave them a more personal connection to the film and seeing how he deals with it.
At age 4 or so, my mother's father was killed by a drunk driver while he was walking across the street in broad daylight, so she relates to this movie and Mufasa's death scene more than I do for that element. She loves it and has the gift set, but she will not watch that scene. She gets up and goes to do something else because it's too much for her to watch.
Personally, the music and animation is great and Timon rocks my world. My favorite part ever is when he is dressing in drag and doing the hula

Yeah, at the time (96/97) Aladdin was the only Disney classic film to have 2 sequels and (I think) the longest running cartoon out of any based on the classic movies. Feel free to correct me on that.
As for TLK I've always been of the opinion it's success is largely due to the fact that it followed Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. TLM revived Disney and Beauty and Aladdin built on that. TLK, whilst a good movie, doesn't capture the same magic or spirit that they do.
Even TLK's soundtrack (which is great) doesn't stand up to the soundtracks of those 3 films (or even Menken's later films IMO).
I'll never forget the channel 4 show "100 greatest cartoons" that aired over here a while ago. No idea who voted as the results were terrible (there is no way Daffy Duck should ever beat Mickey Mouse!). But they did have Roy Disney commenting on some of the Disney entries. When they came to TLK (the highest of all Disney entries at #7, with the exception of Pixar's Toy Story 1+2 at #4) Roy basically said he liked it and it was a good film but "how did it do this well?", he said he couldn't understand why that film (which you could tell by his reaction he didn't like as much as the earlier, lower rated classics) got more votes than the rest. I thought that summed it up nicely - good film, but very over rated.
Aladdin came in at #17

Aw, that's cool...I have to admit, after all the stuff I've seen, I think that Aladdin merchandise and media has stretched farther than anything else Disney has produced besides Pixar productions and TLK (yuck.)

It's great. It tells story from Aladdin and Jasmine when they were toddlers, kids, teenagers and then when they met in the movie. It's really cute

LOL!!! I've never read that! Might have to see if I can track down a copy on ebay.
Guess that's one more thing of the ever growing list of stuff to get after I get a proper job after my holiday.

That reminds me of the little bit from the Tales From Agrabah book when Aladdin was younger:
Rahim nodded politely. "And where do you hail from?"
"From..." Aladdin hesitated. "From higher elevation north of town." It was true, in a way. The abandoned rooftop where he lived was in the northern section of the marketplace.
"I see you share my taste in finery," Rahim said, pointing to Aladdin's new turban. "You must be an apprentice to a businessman, I'm guessing? Perhaps a trader? A mechant, like myself?"
"In a way," Aladdin said. "I...uh, I'm in the food relocation business." Also technically true, although mostly he relocated food from merchants' stalls to his own stomach.

Lol, yeah that or he took some of the loot from Abis Mal's place before Al could "redistribute the wealth" in RoJ!
