*** And Mozenrath doesn't seem to like Jasmine [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain very]] [[StrawMisogynist much]]... [[MurderTheHypotenuse Hmmm]]...



*** That's funny, Mozenrath seems to have a thing for Jasmine. He's always taunting her and calling her "cute", and when he captures her father and she offers him anything in return for giving him back, he says she'll "give him everything" in this really creepy tone.

Someone with a cursory knowledge of Egyptian might know the NAMES Ra, Isis, possibly Set, but not what they look like. We no longer collect Fetish Fuel.


* FetishFuel: Two words: Harem Girls. Especially in the song "Friend Like Me".
** What about Jasmine herself? The two-piece outfit, the tiny waist, huge breasts and hips....
** Aladdin's almost permant shirtlessness and street-rat personality do it for most women.
*** His near-perpetually [[FootFocus bare feet]] would count, but they'd probably be nasty after a life on the streets, unlike [[{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]].



* LoveToHate: Jafar.



* CriticalResearchFailure: [[EgyptianMythology Osiris]] shows up to Al and Jasmine's wedding, but he has Horus' head.
** Actually, this one can be explained in that the genie only saw the back of his head and assumed it was Osiris, only to realize later it was Horus all along. As for why the genie would make such a mistake...RuleOfFunny?



* CompleteMonster: Mirage.



* FetishFuel: A few, the "Eye of the Beholder" [[http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/odditorium/aladdin/eye.html situation]] mentioned above counts (Yuan-ti Half Bloods yum).
** You know that episode where Aladdin is turned into a shark? Going from human, to part-shark, to half-shark, to full shark?
** Pretty much any appearance by Mirage.
** Transformation fetishists seem to have ''really'' taken to the idea of Jasmine turning into some kind of furry. Usually a tiger, and often with the implication that they're [[{{Squick}} shipping her with Raja]]. Or that she's considered a "pet", like Raja.
*** Given the sheer number of times Jasmine was transformed into something either partially or fully animal (or not) throughout the series, this was inevitable.

**** As well as from the fact that, these being the first Disney sequels, the seem to have made them out of a sincere desire to continue the story, rather than as a quick and dirty cash in.

* UnfortunateImplications: It has been speculated that Jafar is a depiction of a "true" Arab, while Aladdin and Jasmine are simply "exotic"-looking. Several background characters are also Middle Eastern stereotypes. Some "Arabic writing" that we see is actually random squiggles instead of real words...
