I believe this is when Babkak, Omar, and Kassim got replaced with Abu, and she also added a lot of other stuff inspired by <span style="font-style: italic">Thief of Baghdad</span>. <br /> <br />Then when Ron and John got done directing TLM for their next film they got to choose between three stories Disney was already working on: Swan Lake, King of the Jungle (now know as TLK), and Aladdin. They went with Aladdin, but they still weren't crazy about the script so they decided to rewrite it themselves. They were the ones that came up with the idea of Robin Williams as Genie. <br /> <br /><span style="font-style: italic">Then</span> "black friday" happened (not two weeks after Howard's death; I don't believe in coincidences...) and they had to go back to the drawing board, so they hired Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio to rewrite the script with them, and that's the one that actually made it into the film. <br /> <br />And of course keep in mind that there were probably several versions of each of these as they went through revisions. <br /> <br />I *did* see one script, Evi from the AML put it online a few years back, but the site no longer exists and my copy got destroyed.
