Conception

The film is largely based on the Indian rather than the Arab culture. In the figure of Aladdin, the signatories but based on the then young actor Tom Cruise.

Several items were taken from the Oscar- winning film The Thief of Bagdad (1940 ), for example, the figures of the naive infantile, roundish Sultan, the Grand Vizier Jaffar and best friend and constant companion of the hero Abu. Other motifs, such as the large catchment in the city where the chair is supported by an elephant, or the jump from the balcony of the princess, find themselves there.

Originally Jinni should turn into the narrator from the beginning, after he is released. That would explain how he knows the history and has the lamp. However, as a second part would be impossible if the figure was fundamentally altered, this idea has been deleted. Genies human form can be seen in the song " Prince Ali " but still. The narrator dives for the end of Aladdin and the King of Thieves back on and finished his story from the beginning of the first part and thus spans the a real trilogy. Robin Williams sang all the songs with the Jinni themselves and even wrote a few lines of it by hand.

When the film was in the rough draft Jeffrey Katzenberg presented, this was disappointed by the outcome so that he could revise all the scenes and redraw in order to bring in more verve and wit. The complete revision of the concept tipped beyond some important characters like Aladdin's mother.

Due to protests from the Arab -born population of the text of the opening song " Arabian Nights " was (English " Arabian Nights" ) changed. In the theatrical version of the controversial passage was still " you risk your head and now he is gone," later " and, you put time in the sand, never come there you away ."

The spelling of "Aladdin" with double "d" was a trick of the advertising manager. With this notation - in contrast to the original figure of "1001 Nights " - it was possible that the figure could Disney copyright protection itself.
