>> Crazy Nate: Greetings Gents and Gentlets, are you ready for another adventure?
Why are you so far away?
Come a little bit closer...
OK, a lot closer…
Too close, too close.
OK, so I was trying to find what movie you wanted to talk about next and there was a
lot of ties going on, so I went to twitter for a tie breaker.
And it seems you want to go on a journey in the middle of the hot desert to Agra-bah for
a journey of everything you missed in Disney’s movie Aladdin.
Arabian night.
OK, I wont sing.
>> Genie: In case of an emergency the exits are here here here here here here here, keep
your hands and arms inside the carpet we're out of here.
[intro music]
>> Crazy Nate: Let’s start off with our favorite rodent of all time, that's right,
Mickey Mouse.
When Jasmin runs away and she’s exploring the market, if you look closely you will see
a plant in the shape of Mickey.
Also when Raja's turning back into the full size tiger he originally was if you pause
at JUST the right moment you're gonna see that he's actually wearing Mickey ears.
Oh yeah, and also in the market these apples kind of look like the Mickey.
>> Aladdin: I must of hit my head harder than I thought.
>> Crazy Nate: Ok, so you thought the last one was a bit of a stretch right?
I know.
OK, well get this, this one right here, Disney themselves say's this is a mickey?
If that's a Mickey my apples are a hidden Mickey.
>> Aladdin: But, no harm done.
Now another handy thing we can point out here is the cave of wonders.
When the Cave of Wonders is trying to kill Aladdin and Abu if you look closely near the
end of the cave you will see the fire's actually in the shape of two hands trying to crush
them.
Spoiler alert, we already knew the cave was going to end up in flames, though, why? because
Carpet told us.
(Abu screams at Carpet)
That's right if you look closely at the detail of the carpet you will see the Cave of Wonders
on the carpet in all the corners.
Also it's surrounded by fire, and of course the Genie lamp is in the middle, quiet a few
of them actually.
Not only do we have all the treasure you could possibly want in the cave of wonders we also
have more Easter eggs.
The Lamp scene was actually created from the idea of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Disney even went so far to apologized to Steven Spielberg for copying him, and then he said
it’s totally fine because he stole the idea from other movies.
>> Thief: Me humble thief.
>> Crazy Nate: What else was from the Raiders of the lost ark though was the monkey.
That’s right Abu is voiced by Frank Welker who also voiced the monkey in the Raiders
of the lost Ark, he also voiced Rajah the tiger, and he voiced the cave of wonders.
This guy, this guy's covering a lot of voices.
>> Cave of Wonders: Who disturbed my slumber?
>> Crazy Nate: Now I gotta deal with my voices.
Do you hear voices?
Carpet here also was only partially hand drawn.
They drew out the frame of him and the little tassels, however the pattern inside the carpet
was made by a computer.
Why?
Because it would take too long frame by frame to paint in all the awesome effects.
When Aladdin and Abo go on their very first magic carpet ride it may look a little bit
like a roller coaster ride.
In fact it’s because they filmed an actual roller coaster ride to figure out how to create
this scene, and how it would actually look.
The odd part though is that they filmed a roller coaster at Magic Mountain…
yeah you heard right, magic mountain, not space mountain…
magic mountain.
and no, that’s not Disney.
However we do get to see Sebastian when Genie is making Aladdin into a Prince!
This is also the same area where I’m sure you recognized your favorite wooden puppet
Pinocchio.
>>Genie: Right, woop
>> Crazy Nate: One thing that may or may not be true, you're gonna have to decide for your
self is I think Cinderella was hidden in the movie.
Where?
In The Sultans play room.
Here we can see a horse and carriage, and obviously it's not exactly like the one that
was made out of a pumpkin, but I still think it's a applying to Cinderella, also another
reason why I think that is because over on the other side of the room, underneath curtain
little thing you can see some sort of a doll in a blue dress.
This seems like it's Cinderella theme if you ask me.
Obviously no one's asking me though.
>> Aladdin: Now I know I'm dreaming.
>> Crazy Nate: What else may be undercover though in this movie is this snowy cliff with
a massive drop off.
Look familiar?
>> Mushu: Nope.
>> Crazy Nate: I know what you’re thinking, Mulan wasn’t even made when Aladdin was
made right?
Yes, this is true but the same animators that made this exact scene right here the movie
Mulan.
So perhaps this is where they were inspired for drawing out the battle scene in the mountains
in Mulan.
You know I can't help but to say this also looks like The Emperor of China’s palace.
I wonder if the Huns are hiding underneath that dragon down there.
Another reference to a future movie is when they are singing the song a whole new world.
Don't worry I wont sing the rest.
However this building right here is actually the Temple of Zeus from Hercules.
Also we can't forget the reference to Beauty and the Beast in there.
When Sultan’s playing Jenga with his toys if you look closely you will see in the pile
of toys Beast is hiding in there.
Fun little fact Ron and John the directors turned down the making of Beauty and the Beast
because they just got finished making the Little Mermaid at the time, and they wanted
to go on vacation because they were tired.
>> Geni: I'm hitting the road, I'm off to see the world.
>> Crazy Nate: but thankfully by doing that it opened the door for them to make Aladdin.
After Aladdin gives his bread to the little orphan kids he goes out into the street to
check out the prince.
If you look closely though you will see a cameo to Ron and John right next to Aladdin.
Jasmine feels bad for the little birds that are stuck in their cage, and eventually she
sets them free of course.
This though is a reflection of her own life… notice the pattern on the door of the bird
cage.
They were trying to reflect how Jasmine felt trapped in her own little cage, that’s why
they wrapped a canopy around her bed… and they even had the door leading into her room
was the same as the doors to the bird cage.
But in the end, the Sultan was free to be a true leader, Jasmine was free to Marry who
she wants, Al was free to show who he really was, and Genie…
Genie was free.
Finally free.
And now it's Survey Time!
Let’s change things up a little bit today.
For Survey Time, if you found a Genie that wasn’t free what would you do with your
three wishes.
While you are thinking about what your three wishes are going to be let’s point out some
other things about Genie that you might have missed.
When Aladdin got the idea to trick Jafar into becoming a Genie, he actually got the idea
from Genie earlier, because he saw how addicted to power he was.
I'm sure you probably know that Genie was Voiced by Robin Williams, and Robin even voiced
the traveling salesman in the very beginning of the movie.
>> Salesman: Combination Hooka and coffee maker, also makes Julian fries.
Will not break...
It will not...
It broke.
>> Crazy Nate: Originally they were going to have ii revealed at the end that the merchant
was actually genie himself
however they scrapped that idea because early in test people were leaving during the credits
and they didn't stick around for the end so they didn't know the little surprise.
>> Genie: Made you look.
>> Crazy Nate: In the original story the Genie would grant unlimited wishes, but they changed
it to three wishes to add suspense to the movie.
>> Genie: and ex-nay on the wishing for more wishes.
>> Crazy Nate: I mean how dramatic would it be if you could just have unlimited wishes?
It would be pretty cool, but it wouldn't be very dramatic.
>> Genie: That's it, three, uno dos tres.
>> Crazy Nate: A lot of the Genies lines were improvised basically not planned by the directors.
>> Genie: No substitutions, exchanges or refunds.
>> Crazy Nate: They literally put him in a room with a bunch of props and stuff, and
he would just randomly go on for hours with jokes and stuff, and they picked the best
ones of them all and put them in the movie.
>> Merchant: Listen still good.
>> Crazy Nate: He also impersonated a lot of famous people, like Arnold Schwarzenegger,
>> Genie: The ever impressive.
I can't believe it, I'm losing to a rug.
>> Crazy Nate: Or Rodney Dangerfield, or Peter Lorre from 20,000 leagues under the sea,
>> Genie: It's not a pretty picture I don't like doing it.
>> Crazy Nate: A lot of these people though were from like in the early 40's to 60's so
I don't think anyone in this room knows anything about those people.
You might be surprised to hear though As confident as Robin Williams is in his voice impersonations,
he's actually terrified of singing,
but the directors figured if he could impersonate anybody why don't he just impersonate a singer.
>> Genie: Well I feel sheepish.
>> Crazy Nate: Genie wasn’t the only one with hidden references though.
When Jafar and Iago here were contemplate being beheaded
>> Jafar and Iago: Ewwwww
>> Crazy Nate: this ewww expression if you’re a 90’s kid or older you probably recognize
it from I Love Lucy.
>> Lucy: Ewwwww
>> Crazy Nate: At the very end of the movie the sun comes out, Jafar goes away and Genie
is finally free.
(Genie is free from the lamp)
And it looks like he is ready for a very long overdo vacation.
If I had to guess where he's going I would say he's probably going to Disney World!
Why?
Well one reason is obviously because he's wearing a goofy hat!
>> Genie: Do you mind if I kiss the monkey?
Ewe hairball.
>> Crazy Nate: Another reason though is because we know Genie is Voiced by Robin Williams.
And Robin Williams stared in a film for the theme park called back to Neverland and guess
what he was wearing in the film…
The same exact outfit that Genie had on.
>> Merchant: Wait don't go.
