The catch is no one knows if they're worthy unless they go through everything Jafar did to get that information, so Genie's been sitting in there for longer than he should have. That might also explain how he and Carpet have history together unless they somehow miraculously ended up in the same cave. <br /> <br />I do think it's ancient writing on the lamp, but maybe it's a clue to rub it and not put legit oil in it <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Meesh</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Jul 29, 2020 4:22 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I never really thought about it - I just always assumed there was an inscription, but it's never been addressed that I know of!

Any time three circular objects are put together, a Mickey shape, even if not done deliberately, will form. <br /> <br />I suppose not mentioning Howard's involvement in the film would probably be a little intense, especially for, as you said, kids watching the movie for the first time. And yes, his story and relationship with Alan Menken is so heartbreaking. :'( <br /> <br />I agree with you about Twisted. I feel like Gilbert Gottfried would really enjoy it, but yeah, Scott and Linda are a mystery, especially due to how their characters are portrayed. I feel like they might laugh at some points, especially those that mock other characters, but I'm not too sure. If anyone has Twitter, someone should ask them.

One he did mention was three coins on the ground during the Prince Ali number which I don't know if that really counts or not. No matter how you put three coins together, they will always form a Mickey shape. :/ <br /> <br />No, he didn't mention Alan Menken or the beginnings of the Aladdin movie. The beginnings of the movie probably would've been too complicated, to be honest. It looks like this segment is mostly for kids, especially kids who have never seen the movie (it's been over twenty years; there are many kids nowadays who haven't seen it). <br /> <br />Plus, you can't really talk about Howard's involvement without then talking about his death, and that story always depresses me. T.T You can get most of the story through the Making Of feature, so I guess that's enough. <br /> <br />By the way, I mentioned Jonathan Freeman because the segment made a big deal out of how he's been the only one to ever portray Jafar in anything, but now that I think about it, he's not in the DCA show either. I don't know what Disney's counting, haha. <br /> <br />I'm sure Jonathan liked Twisted since he narrated the trailer. I think Gilbert would like it, too. Scott and Linda...I don't know. They might not like what was done to their characters, especially Aladdin. It's hard for me as well to see the normally sweet, cute Aladdin portrayed that way. :b But I just have to remind myself that it's a parody...</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Fez_Head</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2015 6:56 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Yeah, the videos I saw had pretty basic trivia that anyone, even a child watching the movie for the first time, could pick out.

It's too quick if you're watching the movie regularly, but if you slow it down, you can see it. <br /> <br />You'd think he would mention the Pinocchio cameo because it literally happens right before Sebastian's, but either he doesn't particularly like that movie or someone was clearly like "Screw it, most kids nowadays don't even know about Pinocchio", despite its most iconic song being THE Disney song. <br /> <br />Did he mention where the original story of Aladdin came from? Or that Alan Menken has 8 (8!) Oscars, something he, despite being an "actor", will never see in his life? Did he mention that it is because of Howard Ashman pitching the idea that we even have that movie AT ALL?! (I'm going to take a wild guess and say no for all three, right?) <br /> <br />I can see why Disney wouldn't include Twisted, but yes, Jonathan Freeman did narrate the trailer.

Like, the part in "Aladdin's Word" when the beginning of "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays comes to mind. Or stuff about other voice actors. Or the inspiration for the art style. <br /> <br />How could he forget the hidden Mickey on Aladdin's pants when Jafar reverts him back into his street clothes?! <br /> <br />And yes, he spent way too much time on Sebastian.

Everyone has their own opinion. I am a little disappointed that they could have called it the Diamond in the Rough edition, but didn't. <br /> <br />That's a good question. Platinum edition? The edition you don't really need, but due to your obsession will buy anyway?
