History Trivia / AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/SeanConnery was cast as Cassim but had to drop out due to other commitments.
** The initiation fight between Aladdin and Sa'Luk, and the "Welcome To The Forty Thieves" sequence afterwards, was originally animated with visible blood on Aladdin's left arm where Sa'Luk slashes him. The bloodstain was mostly edited out of the finished film, though some [[https://i1.wp.com/caps.pictures/199/6-aladdin-king-thieves/full/aladdin-king-disneyscreencaps.com-3602.jpg?strip=all darkly-lit shots]] [[FreezeFrameBonus still included it]].
** The TriumphantReprise of Arabian Nights at the end of this movie was originally meant for the end of the original film when the Peddler was slated to be the narrator, who would appear at certain points to give the audience the scoop on the story so far through various reprises of Arabian Nights. This reprise, in particular, would've been sung as the Peddler packed up all his stuff, hopped onto his camel and went [[RidingIntoTheSunset riding into the night]], saying goodbye to the audience to mark the end of the legend.

** Mozenrath was originally planned as the villain in the third film. However, whether he would actually be Aladdin's brother is another story - this is fan speculation, not WordOfGod. Mozenrath was ultimately not used, due to them wanting to diverge from the TV series and Jonathan Brandis being difficult to contact.

* TheOriginalDarrin: After being replaced by Creator/DanCastellaneta for the TV series and the first sequel, Robin Williams returns to voice the Genie here. This film was Williams' only true reprisal of the Genie character (aside from the "Great Minds Think For Themselves" segments Disney made for ''Creator/{{One Saturday Morning|AndABCKids}}'' a couple years later).

* ActorAllusion:
** In an attempt to cheer up Jasmine, Genie takes on the role of an [[Film/MrsDoubtfire elderly British nanny]].
** Initially, Cassim was supposed to be voiced by Creator/SeanConnery, in a film with similar themes to Connery's own ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' appearance, but was instead voiced by his co-star Creator/JohnRhysDavies.
** Sa'luk is [[spoiler: turned into a gold statue and frozen with both his hands raised in the air]]. This is similar to the typical pose that [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Lumiere]] is shown in, and both characters were voiced by Jerry Orbach.
