[quote="Mariposa79"][quote="AladdinsGenie"]And the princess having to seduce the magician to carry out Aladdin's plan :lol: And what is it with the number 40 showing up in everything? I've never done the research and I'm too lazy to do so. I'm guessing it has a religious meaning since lint is 40 days, 40 days and 40 nights with Noah, etc. I remember in the 12th grade, we studied the significance of the number 3 in a lot of fairy tales. Teacher: Name some three elements in stories Student: The lady of the lake swooshing the sword over her head three times Student: Three pigs Student: Three fairies Student: Three brothers Student: Three wishes and three days to get married :lol:[/quote] Things that are coming in three's are charming. It applies to a saying, " The third time is always the charm"[/quote]

They say that Aladdin's lazy in the 1001 Arabian Nights Tale. He daydreams and loligags in the fields. He always get in trouble. ( You'll only get into trouble if you get caught.) Aren't we glad that Aladdin is physically fit and the hotness that he is? If he loligags and does nothing then wouldn't he be pudgy ? His mom did most of the talking between him and the Sultan. The princess had a funky name Bedu budiddur something like that.. But it sure sounded funny. The 1001 said that Aladdin spotted her while she was taking a bath. She supposedly wasn't to be seen. But Aladdin fell in love with her.
it's princess Budir al-Budoor. i named my favorite fish after her...

The movie was shot off the storyboards to Jeffery Kratzenburg on Thursday. (Eric Goldburgrefers to it as "holy thursday") That day, he said they the whole movie was to be started completely over, and change things, including getting rid of unlimited wishes, Genie/Ring, mother, three friends, Aladdin became older.

The original was set in China, but I remember hearing it was a Persian story. I guess the reason the sorcerer was African and Aladdin was Chinese was to make it more impressive when the genie transports them to the other side of the world?
What did you think of that version of Aladdin Calluna? In this story it was infinity of wishes by the Genie of the ring. So how did they got to infinity of wish fullfillment to just three. And the ring to the lamp? Even before the Disney movie of Aladdin came out. It was the three wish deal....
In another subject, I haven't been in this messageboard that long but What was Black Friday all about ?

If you know the date of Black Friday, he died on March 14, 1991. I think he was dead by then, because Jeffery was there and Howard wasn't there in any pictures or videos. Alan started talking about how hard it was to take the mother out of the story (along with the song) and that happened soon after Jeffery saw the early version was shot with the story boards. I know that Howard died eight months before Beauty and the Beast came out, which meant most of the animators were still on the set of that. And since the movie was shot on story boards, it would make sense for it to be around summer of 1991 when Black Friday occured. That's my estimate anyway.
Wow, *right* before Black Friday (March 29, 1991).
I need to make a timeline; I can't keep all this stuff straight.

No... It was Howard Ashman. He died of AIDS that March before Beauty and the Beast came out. He was the person he wrote the lyrics for Alan's music. The song was almost written to Howard's own mother, because in a way he felt like the original Aladdin did, that he had messed up and wanted to make his mother proud. The song meant something to Howard, and that's why after Howard died, it was so hard for Alan to let it go. I can only imagine having to do it myself... *sniffles*
Big Alan/Howard fan talking... hee hee
Yes! That guy! Okay, now I'm going to be small in a corner somewhere.

I remember when I was taking my Old Testament class they said it was just something they used for a number too large to count out. Like today if someone were to say that Noah was on the ark for like, a million days everyone would know it wasn't *exactly* a million. (Not sure if I'm making sense, oh well...)
Ooohhh, I gotcha
I was just wondering because that number is EVERYWHERE.

When exactly *did* Howard Ashman die? Was it before or after black friday?

They had to change the whole thing because Jeffery Kratzenberg didn't like what they came up with. So, when Ted and Terry came into the project, they changed some stuff and got rid of some things including his mother, which in turn got rid of that song.
Didn't they took it out because of Alan Menken passed on? Because the song that wrote had sentimental value?

His sense of getting in trouble all the time always upset his mom. That's how " proud of your boy" song came up. But, ever since one of the composers died they took out the song and the mother. I'm glad how the movie turned out to be.
