Post subject: making of Aladdin timeline
Well, I promised I would post this, so here it is; sorry that it's so unfinished right now. There are still lots of abbreviations because I wasn't expecting anyone else to have to understand it yet.
(MAF is Aladdin: The Making of an Animated Film, MUG is Mouse Under Glass, etc...) Anything after the dashes means I know it happened after that point but I don't know an exact date. I still have the entire DVD and a whole lot of other things still to go through before this is finished...
1988 - Ashman presents 40-page Aladdin treatment (EW, MUG) (did he have a draft at this time or afterwards? definitely wrote one at some point - T&T)
--before this point: Call Me a Princess written and discarded (MUG)
1988 or 1989 - Linda Woolverton's two script drafts (probably after she wrote BatB, but definitely before TLM came out - Animato,T&T, MUG)
after Nov. 1989 - Musker and Clements come onboard (after TLM) (Animato)
-- new script written with Robin Williams in mind (EW)
-- Iago changed from stuffy Cogsworth type to current form (Katzenburg or Ron&John's idea?)
-- first appearance of Carpet? (MUG - implied)
Apr. 4, 1990 - Ashman tells Menken he is HIV positive (Wednesday after the Oscars) (MBM) (According to MAF it was March 28, two days after the Oscars)
Sept. 1990 - Eric Goldberg comes to work at Disney (first animator to work on "Aladdin", in preproduction for "close to a year") (MAF)
Fall 1990 - Musker and Clements ask Katzenburg to hire Robin Williams as Genie (EW)
Oct. 1990 - Linda Larkin's first audition ("It's all so magical" line already in the script) (MAF)
Nov. 1990 - Larkin's second audition (MAF)
1990 ("just before" the Gulf War) - Rasoul Azadani goes to Ispahan and takes 1800 photos for research (MAF)
Jan. 1991 - Larkin's 3rd audition, "one week later" she is hired (MAF)
Feb. 1991 - Weinger first auditions for Aladdin (People) is hired 6 months later (Charlotte Observer)
March 14, 1991 - Howard Ashman dies
March 29, 1991 (?) - "Black Friday"
-- Elliot and Rossio hired
----- Three wishes, not unlimited
-- Tim Rice hired
Spring 1991, about a month after Ashman's death - Williams sees Goldberg's animation of Genie doing his standup routine and agrees to play him (EW, JH)
July 1991 - auditions for Jasmine opened up again (MAF)
Late 1991, "ten months into full-scale production" - Aladdin aged up so much that he no longer matches older scenes, which have to be reanimated (EW)
Mar. 1992 - Work-in-progress showing in Manhattan (MAF)
Apr. 1992 - interview with Linda Larkin for MAF
Apr. 29, 1992 (Wednesday) - Glenn Keane's interview for MAF, he is working on animating One Jump Ahead
Midsummer (1992?) - "Arabian Nights (Reprise)" cut for time (EW)
July 5, 1992 - Animation must be finished by this date (as of Apr. 29, 1992, MAF)
Dec. 4, 1992 - work has already started on the TV series (EW)
