Other mistake: The original Aladdin theatrical release poster shows Aladdin and Jasmine on the flying carpet. In error, the top half of Aladdin is dressed in "Street Rat" attire, (vest and cap), while the bottom half of Aladdin is dressed as "Prince Ali", silk pants and silk shoes. The artist also represented Aladdin with a tiny nose, not the nose used in actual production.

Directed by: John Musker, Ron Clements
Starring: Robin Williams, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried, Scott Weinger, Jonathan Freeman, Linda Larkin
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Disney, Family, Fantasy, Musical, Romance
Factual error: The animators have clearly tried to make all the writing in the film look Arabic. However in one scene we see the faces of Jafar and the Sultan as they read a scroll. Their eyes move from left to right; Arabic is read right to left.
Trivia: Because Robin Williams ad-libbed or improvised so many of his lines, the film was ruled ineligible for the Adapted Screenplay category at the Academy Awards.

Answer: Aladdin is referring to the person riding the horse as being a "horse's ass" in the way he is acting, thus the horse the person was riding on has two rear ends, his own and the rider.
