9 | From a far away place,\ |
10 | Where the caravan camels roam.\ |
11 | Where it's flat and immense\ |
12 | And the heat is intense.\ |
13 | It's barbaric, but hey it's home.\ |
14 | When the wind's from the east,\ |
15 | And the sun's from the west,\ |
16 | And the sand in the glass is right,\ |

21 | ''Aladdin'' is the 31st entry into the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Released on November 25, 1992, the film is a loose adaptation of the ''[[Literature/ArabianNights Thousand and One Nights]]'' tale of "[[Literature/{{Aladdin}} Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp]]". |

23 | Taking place in the fictional [[ArabianNightsDays Arabian city]] of [[{{Qurac}} Agrabah]], the [[TheHero title character]], a StreetUrchin, meets and falls in love with the RebelliousPrincess Jasmine--until he's arrested, by orders of the [[EvilChancellor evil vizier]] Jafar, to acquire a magic lamp which is hidden in a cave only Aladdin can enter. Although Jafar has nothing but the worst intentions, Aladdin uses his magical allies--a sentient Magic Carpet and a huge blue Creator/RobinWilliams--to court the princess, expose Jafar, and save the day. |

25 | The film received a series of continuations in the form of a [[Franchise/{{Aladdin}} franchise]], entailing [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar two]] DirectToVideo [[WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves sequels]] and a [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries TV series]] in the mid-'90s; production-wise, it's more accurate to view the two sequels as the pilot and finale (respectively) to the TV series than as forming a conventional trilogy of films with this one. Needless to say, this film's biggest contribution was to [[TropeCodifier permanently establish]] in Western Animation [[CelebrityVoiceActor the value of star power in casting voice actors]], thanks to Williams’ performance as the Genie. |

27 | ''Aladdin'' was inspired very heavily by both the silent film ''Film/TheThiefOfBagdad1924'' (arguably bearing a greater resemblance to the aforementioned film's narrative than the original "Aladdin" tale, save for the presence of a genie; similarly, Aladdin's design was initially inspired by Creator/DouglasFairbanks' likeness) and the unfinished animated film ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'', from which ''Aladdin'' cribbed several noticeable aesthetic and narrative elements. Designer Andreas Deja, in particular, had previously worked under ''Thief'' creator Creator/RichardWilliams. The release of ''Aladdin'' contributed to Williams losing control of ''Cobbler'', which was retooled to be similar to ''Aladdin'' and released without his final input. ''Cobbler'' subsequently [[BoxOfficeBomb bombed]]. |

29 | A [[Theatre/{{Aladdin}} theatrical adaptation]] was performed in 2011 and a LiveActionAdaptation was released in [[Film/Aladdin2019 2019]], with Creator/GuyRitchie as the director and Creator/WillSmith as the Genie. |
