* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original story, it was never explained what made Aladdin the Chosen One; he just ''was.'' He didn't seem to care what the princess thought about marrying him at all, and never freed the genie or even became friends with him. Since Aladdin is still an anti-hero, this isn't necessarily much of a change, though he's still different from his original counterpart regardless.

** If you regard the film as an unofficial remake of ''Film/TheThiefOfBagdad1940'', the Sultan is a more sympathetic version of his counterpart in that film. Both are silly, toy-obsessed old men who give their daughter's hand in marriage over to the villain. However, the Sultan in ''Thief of Bagdad'' did this of his own free will after being bribed with an especially impressive new toy. The Sultan in ''Aladdin'' only does it after being magically brainwashed by Jafar's staff.

* AmputativeSentencing:
** The original lyrics to the song "Arabian Nights" included a line describing Arabia as a place "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." After protests from Arab-American advocacy groups, the line was re-recorded ahead of the theatrical release as "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense."
** While chasing Aladdin through the streets, Razoul the guard bellows that he'll take Aladdin's hands as a trophy.
** When Princess Jasmine [[KingIncognito disguises herself as a peasant]] and wanders through the streets, she takes an apple from a stall and gives it to some kids. The irate vendor, brushing off her claims that she's the Princess, threatens to enforce the penalty against stealing himself and grabs a sword. Jasmine is only saved by Aladdin stepping in and claiming she's his insane sister.
