2	* Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding being very western doesn't make sense until you realize [[TheGenieKnowsJackNicholson Genie]] planned and arranged the whole thing.
3	* Sa'luk's [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation grey skin]] would, in real life, be a sign of silver poisoning. We know he's an ImplacableMan, so maybe he ''is'' actually poisoned and just keeps going because of being a badass.
4	** Which makes his death that more ironic.
5	* Aladdin's father is the ''king'' of thieves, so that technically makes Aladdin a prince. His wish from the first movie was literally granted. (Razoul even calls him the "Prince of Thieves".)
6	* How fitting that Cassim's journey parallels Midas's journey. Both men are consumed by {{Greed}} and ultimately harmed their children; Aladdin and Marigold.
7	* The Forty Thieves attack and rob Aladdin and Jasmine's guests but are never shown maiming or killing anyone despite their ruthless reputation. This could be excused typical censorship for a Disney animated movie but there is an obvious in-universe explanation. The lyrics of "Are You In Or Out" state that under Cassim's leadership the Forty Thieves became a lot less vicious ("We'd plunder and pillage and ransack a village with neither a worry nor care" "We knew that we had to be blissfully bad. The Cassim brought this sensitive stuff"). The reason there were no casualties at the wedding was because Cassim was enforcing a no killing policy.
8	* Ten thieves look like Abis Mal's men from ''Return of Jafar''. Guess we know where they went.

11	* When Cassim discards the Hand of Midas by throwing it into the ocean, it accidentally hits the ship that was used by the remaining seven thieves who evaded capture by the Agrabah palace guards and were tricked by Sa'luk that Cassim sold the thieves out. The ship turns to gold and sinks, and because the Vanishing Isle had submerged and would not rise until long after and there's no other land nearby, they must have drowned. And worse, Cassim did ''NOT'' seek any vengeance on the Thieves for their betrayal.
12	* Cassim turning the Vanishing Isle temple into gold probably also drastically increased its density and weight. That turtle may never surface again.
13	** Not so much on two accounts: One, the hand only turned the inside of the temple gold, not the outside as suggested above. Two, the turtle ''did'' resurface if only to let Genie out as WesternAnimation/SteamboatWillie.
14	** Plus, the turtle is a giant and can resurface despite having a large temple on its shell. So a few more densities and weight won't make a difference.
15	* 31 Thieves: It is unknown what happened to them after being arrested, but it is most likely that they were executed for their crimes.
