11	!!The film contains examples of:
12	* AbhorrentAdmirer: Aladdin is repulsed by [[UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII Cleopatra]]'s advances when she's revealed to be obese and unattractive.
13	* AccidentalMurder: Paige and Aladdin inadvertently kill Cleopatra's father upon arrival in AncientEgypt.
14	* AdaptationDyeJob: UsefulNotes/HenryVIII was a redhead in real life, but he's depicted here with black hair.
15	* AdaptationalVillainy: The film depicts Scheherazade, the protagonist of ''Literature/ArabianNights'', as an evil sorceress. She does turn good in the end, though.
16	* AdiposeRex: Most of the royal family of Henry VIII are heavy to the point that the baker calls them titles such as "Your Fatness", "Your Hugeness", "Your Obeseness", etc. Later, Henry himself becomes this after he wishes he could live up to his family name, apparently a bloodline of huge, larger-than-life royalty.
17	* AllMythsAreTrue: The story of Aladdin is true.
18	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: ''Everyone'' makes fun of Paige for being an introverted bookworm--not just the kids at her school, but the adults as well.
19	* AmbiguouslyGay: "Blondebeard" seems to be this. In particular, he remarks how making stowaways walk the plank will "impress the boys".
20	* AnachronismStew: Zig Zagged -- Sometimes Aladdin justifiably doesn't know things that he'd be expected not to, like how to read English or who King Henry VIII is. But for some reason Wordsworth acts as if he ''should'' know these things, despite being fully aware of the time and place Aladdin originates from. On the other hand, Aladdin ''does'' have knowledge of some things he really shouldn't, such as how to ''speak'' English and what a taxi is.
21	* ArabianNightsDays: Aladdin's homeland is very much this.
22	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Who knew they celebrated Halloween in the Medieval Middle East?
23	* AwardBaitSong: "[[https://youtu.be/eMPeovN6Baw?si=4P4KqgCB04Y7-V0v Time Stands Still]]", played during the end credits.
24	* BankruptcyBarrel: Two of UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}'s crewmates end up wearing barrels.
25	* BedlahBabe: Aladdin's girlfriend, the princess, dresses like this.
26	* {{Bookworm}}: Paige is harassed constantly because she prefers to read than anything else. And it's not just the kids who tease her, but also the ''adults''. Her grandfather is the only one who accepts her.
27	* ContrivedCoincidence: When Scheherazade sends the lamp to a random time and place in the future, it happens to appear right next to Paige.
28	* DisproportionateRetribution: The English royal family punishes bad cooks by feeding them to lions.
29	* DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest: [[spoiler:Paige gets a few ShipTease moments with Aladdin, who has to return home to his own time and girlfriend. But at the end, she meets a boy who looks identical to Aladdin, albeit wearing contemporary clothes. It's suggested that he may be Aladdin's [[IdenticalGrandson descendant]].]]
30	* DumbBlonde: Paige is supposed to be an inversion, but, to most viewers, she's a straight example.
31	* EvilIsPetty: Seemingly the only reason Scheherazade is changing historical figures is just because.
32	* EvilRedhead: The main villainess, Scheherazade, has red hair.
33	* FemmeFatalons: Scheherazade has some very long and sharp green fingernails.
34	* FictionalizedDeathAccount: Needless to say, in reality, Cleopatra's father didn't get killed from being crushed by time travelers in a boat falling on him.
35	* FriendlyPirate: When the lamp ends up on a pirate ship, the pirates Aladdin and Paige encounter fall under this. These pirates, lead by Blondebeard, are foppish, pacifistic and overly friendly. However, they're on the verge of being taken over by far more vicious pirates...so Aladdin turns Blondebeard into Blackbeard, at which point he abandons all shades of the trope and becomes fully evil.
36	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Paige and Aladdin accidentally turn Blondebeard into Blackbeard and Henry VIII into a homicidal glutton.
37	* GenerationXerox: In the end, Paige meets a boy named Alan who is implied to be Aladdin's descendant. May also be a ReplacementGoldfish.
38	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen:
39	** Scheherazade, who even gets a song about it!
40	** While she's not as overtly evil as Scheherazade, Cleopatra shows signs of this after Aladdin and Paige turn her beautiful, with her talking about causing wars.
41	* GoodCostumeSwitch: After being turned good, Scheherazade wears a rather skimpy off-white outfit and a turban.
42	* HeelFaceBrainwashing: Scheherazade is wished good in the end.
43	* TheHeroSucksSong: The opening number, "[[https://youtu.be/S2MJBNMI9SI?si=-gL-5A4-qVZG8epE Paige]]", is such an obvious rip-off of "[[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]]", it's not [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong even]] [[SongParody funny]].
44	** Speaking of obvious Disney knock-off songs, [[https://youtu.be/htWnfkJeyXo?si=CZ43X_ijpErZlnNf "Book Song" (aka "Read Me First")]] is also one to ''Beauty''. [[SarcasmMode Take a guess which one.]]
45	* HeroicComedicSociopath: Aladdin. Anytime he does anything that puts someone else at risk, he just shrugs it off and cracks a joke at their expense. Examples include him tasting a cake he and Paige ruined for Henry VIII and just saying "whoops" after unintentionally ''killing'' someone.
46	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Henry VIII, Blackbeard ''and'' Cleopatra. Need we say more?
47	* TheKingslayer: Paige and Aladdin end up inadvertently fatally crushing (presumably) Pharaoh Ptolemy XII, making them rare [[AccidentalMurder accidental examples]].
48	* LimitedAnimation: One of its biggest flaws. There are times where certain sequences are repeated multiple times.
49	* MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: In changing things back to the way they're supposed to be, the heroes make the world worse.
50	* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: The bookish protagonist, aptly named Paige.
51	* MorphicResonance: Scheherazade's alternate forms tend to have green and purple coloration like her outfit.
52	* NephariousPharaoh: Cleopatra shows signs of being a female example after being made attractive, since she says she'll cause war between nations.
53	* NerdGlasses: Paige wears large square glasses with thick dark frames.
54	* RedheadInGreen: Redheaded Scheherazade's wardrobe is fond of green.
55	* SeaMonster: Paige and Aladdin end up inside one's digestive system after their escape from Blackbeard.
56	* SecondaryColorNemesis: Green and purple feature heavily in Scheherazade's wardrobe.
57	* ShipTease: Aladdin and Paige get a few potentially-romantic moments, culminating in him kissing her on the cheek before she leaves. No word on what Aladdin's girlfriend thought of this.
58	* SnakesAreSinister[=/=]SssssnakeTalk: Scheherazade's sidekick is an evil cobra.
59	* StupidEvil: After her initial victory, Scheherazade transports the lamp to the future, where she thinks no one will find it.
60	* SwallowedWhole: Aladdin, Paige, Wordsworth and their boat are swallowed whole by a sea monster after they escape Blackbeard.
61	* TemptingFate: Cleopatra's father claims he was more than fair in sentencing Prince Raji, and says that if he wasn't, "may the gods drop the sky on my head". Cue Paige and Aladdin's boat falling on and crushing him to death.
62	* UglyGuyHotWife: Aladdin's Sultan is a pudgy, schlubby-looking man with an unkempt beard. Scheherazade, on the other hand, is very beautiful.
63	* VillainousGlutton: The whole royal family consists of cruel gluttons except King Henry, until Aladdin wishes him fat.
64	* VillainSong:
65	** Blackbeard [[https://youtu.be/W3X2IC_91Bs?si=yLxBdsjiysr8SyUo sings one]] after Aladdin and Paige revert him back to his evil self.
66	** Scheherazade gets one with "[[https://youtu.be/K_3cZhuTA64?si=qUo6qnGt9iT8mIwk Queen of Mean]]".
67	* VillainsWantMercy: When Aladdin finally gets his lamp back, Scheherazade begs him to spare her.
68	* WrittenByTheWinners: Scheherazade has a fictional account of events written thinking people will automatically believe it just because it's written down.
69	* YouCantFightFate: Blackbeard, Cleopatra and Henry VIII all end up the way they're known in history in spite of how different they are from Wordsworth's historical records.
