** A common bit of fanlore has it that the creators planned to make Mozenrath Aladdin's brother or half-brother. During production of the third film, Disney considered Mozenrath as a villain, but [[http://web.archive.org/web/19991010030415/http://volatile.simplenet.com/UMS/bobsh.htm for various reasons]] "replaced" him with Cassim. Fan speculation that followed Disney's changes to the third film resulted in this rumor. The fact that they look so damn alike only adds fuel to the rumor.

During Story editor Bob Schooley claimed that during production of the third film, Disney considered Mozenrath as a villain, but [[http://web.archive.org/web/19991010030415/http://volatile.simplenet.com/UMS/bobsh.htm for various reasons]] "replaced" him with Cassim. (This was disputed by ''King of Thieves'' director Tad Stones, who [[https://twitter.com/TadStones/status/936115496314855430 claimed]] that Mozenrath was never considered.) Fan speculation that followed Disney's changes to the third film resulted in this rumor. The fact that they look so damn alike only adds fuel to the rumor.

** Notably, it and ''WesternAnimation/TheShnookumsAndMeatFunnyCartoonShow'' are the only ''[[WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon Disney Afternoon]]'' series not currently on Creator/DisneyPlus. ''Aladdin's'' absence is especially jarring because, unlike ''Shnookums and Meat'', they don't have the OldShame excuse to back it up; ''Aladdin'' as a whole is one of Disney's most popular franchises, not to mention both ''Return of Jafar'' and ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'' were added at launch. Only time will tell if the series eventually be available.

* {{Blooper}}: The most obvious common blooper is the animators getting Jasmine's clothes wrong. While she dresses in multiple colours over the series, there are repeatedly random scenes in episodes where she goes from whatever she's wearing back to her standard blue clothes and it can be rather jarring.

Then there were four ''Aladdin's Arabian Adventures'' tapes, and one on its own, ''Aladdin and Jasmine's Moonlight Magic''. Each tape had two episodes each, totaling 18. One of the ''Disney Princess'' [=DVDs=] featured the episode "Love at First Sprite", meaning only 19 of the 86 episodes have been released on VHS or DVD in North America. Europe got a few more tapes, but a sizable portion of the series still isn't out on any home video format.
