I was going to watch the trilogy on Saturday and go out photographing into the polder today. But dad kept being a pain and wanted me to go with him after he was done with the groceries where done. So and the end I had a great time on the countryside away from the busy and crowed city. Starting 11.30 sharp I watched Aladdin. Then The Return of Jafar back to back.

Aladdin was a blast to watch as always there’s really nothing to say more other then I want to see it in widescreen someday. We still have a classic television with a tube since the late nineties as long as it works and the flat screen TV are too expensive there’s nothing I can do about. I do however have serious plans to throw the VCR and DVD player out soon in favor of a hard disc DVD recorder so I can save the episodes next time the series is in reruns.

Good, now I haven’t seen RoJ in quite a while.. I didn’t see it before but since I watch allot of episodes lately the high animation quality of RoJ is noticeable. Oh and a new Disney reference, Genie is Ariel in the ship wreck Jafar zaps in the throne room. See picture. After an hour break I put Aladdin and the King of Thieves in. A couple of things I noticed, there’s a Indiana Jones-like feeling with the quest for the Hand of Midas. And I saw the turtle on the secret entrance in the thief’s’ den and the rug Cassim shows to Aladdin. With every viewing the music gets better and better by Carl Johnson and Mark Watters. The final wedding always makes me sad as it closes the trilogy.
