"Things aren't always what they seem"

This applies to EVERYTHING from people to situations, good or bad. This might have something to do with my paranoia, but it's always right! Laughing

We left random English bits in the Finnish dialogue, so I learnt a few English phrases. Iago taught me "No problem!" in RoJ. Very Happy

A lot of vocabulary. Ecstatic, punctual, etc... Hey, I was ten. Laughing

They left some parts of dialogue untranslated. For example, Genie says "Sit down" before the song Friend Like Me. I think they even translated English with English in RoJ with Iago's song. "Look out below" turned into "Heippa*, I go".

* = Bye, bye

Call me a hopeless romantic, but Aladdin taught me a lot about relationships. I think Al and Jas set a good example for all of us, and show us what love is really about. It's about loving each other unconditionally, and loving someone's strengths as well as their weaknesses. That's why they're the best Disney couple. They're the most realistic. Very Happy

What I learned from Aladdin is that lies will always catch up with you, it's bound to come out.

Words and phrases like 'nom de plume' and 'ecstatic.' And, inadvertantly, harmonic minor tonality! Other stuff evades me at present.
