(Most strongly the inclusion of the word 'palace,' which most children will hear spoken more in Aladdin's under-two-hour run than they will hear in six months in the real world.) <br /> <br />Aladdin influences or not, though, NG's blunder is still head-bang worthy. If you're going to include Eris, why doesn't Charon make the mark? (It's only slightly smaller than Pluto.)
