Too true. It's quite obvious why Uncle Jesse makes such a big deal out of his hair. I never said anything to him, but my dad did resemble Aladdin in his hair. Unfortunately, my mom made him get a haircut. I don't know why guys practically shave their heads these days. I was pretty mad at her. 'Dad! What have done to your hair?!' 'Your mom said I had to get a haircut, and she wouldn't leave me alone.' 'He finally got a haircute. He looks so much better like this.' 'No, he doesn't!' I said I would pay him the same amount of money he paid the barber, if he wouldn't go to the barber. 
I liked the episode where he was wearing Aladdin type clothes, too. I'm like, 'he looks quite a bit like Al, but I thought Scott wasn't supposed to show up until season 6?' |

Do they still sell the original cast CD? I haven't seen him as Aladdin, and I can't find any pictures either  .
I think that Eddie Kaulukukui was a great Aladdin. He looks a lot like him and sounds like him, too. The guy in this video also looks and sounds a lot like Aladdin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbZtHOxceSA Besides people in the stage show, I think a younger John Stamos would have made a great Aladdin. Shaun Taylor-Corbitt from that kids show Hi-5 looks like him, too 
Oh, and whenever I see Francia Raisa 
she reminds me of Jasmine. She's on that one show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. All the people I named above are fairly good actors, and they look a lot like the characters. I think that it doesn't really matter how old they are ( as long as they're not like, 50 XD ) but how well they can act and how much they resemble the character they're portraying. |

| Jasmine's not supposed to be normal, though; she's supposed to be unusually beautiful. And, like all cartoon characters, she's exaggerated: in "real life" she wouldn't be that thin. | |

| Alright, I'm not going to argue about how many kids out there that have perfect bodies... that's not why I made the post.
I am in highschool too, and I know how teenagers look, and some of them are really good looking, but not alot of them... just some. I'm talking about kids that are aroudn the age of 16 that are in show business that would be good for the parts of Aladdin and Jasmine.... or older actors/actresses for the other characters. I'm sorry, I should have made myself clearer. |

How is that relevant? I mean, I really don't see the point. Please, do explain this to me.
My 16-year old co-work is a size zero. And she's hardly the first 16 year old girl at that size that I've met.
Bull. In highschool, there were a bunch of 18 years olds who were ripped, some better than Aladdin. It was called the football team, the wrestling team, the baseball team, etc. Hell, we had a kid who was about as big as Sa'luk/Rasoul (This kid is like 6'5, 390, GIGANTIC kid). I mean, yeah, some teens are obese *Points to self* but not *all* of them. |

| I was just stating that everyone tells you that it's not exactly "norma" to look like that when you're a teenager, and that we shouldn't strive for that look.
It's not normal for people too look like that, maybe in other countries, but the movie was made to inspire children in the United States... and we all know 4/5 of the children are overweight. I'm not saying it's impossible for girls to have big breasts... but Jasmine had a perfect body, and that's rare for any teenage girl that just turned 16. Aladdin is hott... but not all guys look like that. It's a rare thing... there should be more "Aladdins" in the world... but it's so rare you're going to find an 18 year old who looks like that. Most guys that look like that are like 25 years old... not a teenager. |

Weeelllll, there are people who look older than their ages. I mean, Al sorta doesn't look 17-18, and Jas sure as hell doesn't look 15 going on 16. I'm 18 years old and people swear up and down that I am at least 25.
If you take away that beautiful and exotic beauty part, that sounds like me at 16, lol. I'm not gonna disclose my breast size at that age because that is one of those TMI moments, but trust me-it can happen at that age and well before it.  Some people just age differently, but at the same time she is a cartoon-So anything goes.
A lot of people from that region of the world have tiny waist's like that. They actually wear devices to mold their waists to be that small. Hey, even in Mulan they were telling Mulan that she needed a tiny waist. *looks at self* Maybe not on this side of the world, but it is a possibility. 
Aladdin's looks are based off Tom Cruise. Glen used volleyball players for Aladdin's body type because he said he needed that youthful, athletic look for Al. So that's possible too. Not that I am complaining on how he turned out And considering how much running around he does, I'd say it's normal for him to have a little bit of muscle on him. |

Scott with a really fakey deep voice and gray hair would make a funny (though inaccurate) Cassim. 
*Shrugs* I don't know, I never thought about it before. *Ponders this*
Naga! Naga! Sorry... that's my overbearing Jesse McCartney hatred coming out again.. |

| It's cool that they all have jobs... but I'm talking like big-named actors/ actresses of today...
If you have any ideas... I was thinking Jesse McCartney as Aladdin in the original... black hair might look pretty tasteful on him, an brown contacts. |

| Well, from a former-Disney-theme-park-performer's point of view, the system works the way it is. It fits the continuity. Aladdin and Jasmine look a few years older because the movie happened a few years ago. They've been through the events of RoJ, the series, KoT (and the Herc episode if you count that as canon). It makes sense that they should be a few years older.
And quite frankly, you just can't hire as many teens in those kinds of roles. The bare minimum age you'll get is 16, and even that is rare in a face character. Generally they're 18 and up, because of less stringent labor laws. You'd be amazed, though, some of the people who are well into their 20's that can pass for teenagers. As far as individual actors go, Disney's California Adventure has found some really great performers for "Aladdin" over the last two years. Miles Wesley, who was one of the original two lead Aladdins (they double-cast the show), did an amazing job. He's the one that's on the show's original cast CD. His singing voice sounds similar to Brad Kane's, and he looks a lot like Aladdin. George Pellegrino was one of the other really good ones. Unfortunately, he was only an understudy. Really a shame, cause he was in my opinion the best yet. Great singing voice, had the look, everything. For Jasmine, Dee Dee Magno rocks. Anyone watch the Mickey Mouse Club series that aired in the late 80's? Remember Dee Dee? Her! She's been at the show at DCA since the beginning, and is hands-down my favorite. She's also on the original cast CD. Outside of DCA... hmmm... I'm with Heather on Richard Attenborough. Dead on! |

| I'm starting to regret asking this question. I was more wondering who you would have play "Aladdin", "Jasmine", "Cassim", "Sultan", "Jafar"... you know, the human characters. | |

 I would rather have a CGI Abu and Iago.
What would they do for the genie, for that matter? |

exactly. although dan was great as the genie, there's just nothing like the original. and if someone other than gilbert did iago it would just kill me |

True, very true... they would have to use a real parrot and some voice overs... but Gilbert would have to do it. Gilbert is "Iago" just like Robin is "Genie." |

| Iago is a bird so there really is no need for a live actor which is good since gilbert should be the only person to do iago. I don't know anyone who can imitate his whiny voice. | |
