Aladdin

A young thief, Aladdin, is asked by the sultan's evil advisor, Jafar, to steal a lamp. He does so, but his pet monkey Abu steals the lamp back. Aladdin discovers that the lamp contains a genie that can grant him three wishes. With the help of the genie, he must propose to Princess Jasmine, defeat Jafaar, and save the kingdom.

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: When Rajah transforms, if you watch it frame by frame, his head bears a striking resemblance to Mickey's head. There is a long-standing tradition for Disney to put 'hidden Mickeys' in their movies.

Question: What does Aladdin mean when he says: "Look at that Abu, it's not everyday you see a horse with two rear ends."?

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.
