I grinned at the irony, Jas dressing up as one of her worst enemies. The drawing would’ve been even better if it was Aladdin. Have you ever noticed that Jasmine looks good in (almost) everything she wears, kudos to Mark Henn by giving her universal appeal. Tewateroniakwa gets credits for conning this combination and Ariel as Ursual up. Hmmm… how would Belle as Gaston look -;)

Desert Rose by English pop singer String was the single from his 2000 Brand New Day. The lyrics are inspired by the novel Dune which was also the inspiration for Virgin Entertainment to make a video game. It’s sequel Dune 2 would lay the foundations for the real-time strategy genre as made popular by Dune 2’s successor Command & Conquer and a wide variety of other war games such as the Warcraft series.
Thus far the trivia on the video!

Aladdin Meets Xena

October 25th, 2007

Xena: Warrior Princess was and is my favorite mythological action adventure series from the 90’s. Two beautiful woman, Lucy Lawless as Xena and her protege Gabrielle played by Renée O’Connor taking it up against thugs, evil lords, Ceaser even the gods themselves. I’ve lost count how many times Xena fought against Ares, God of War. But the series was much more then action alone, there was plenty of drama and humor and packed in good stories and strong acting by both leading ladies as the supporting cast Ted Raimi (Joxer), Bruce Campbell portaying Autolycus, Hudson Leick who shaped Xena’s arch nemises Callisto.

Naturally I had to fave Walt Xena – Aladdin Episode 1 the moment I finished watching it. Clips from various Xena episodes set on the opening song from Aladdin, Arabian Nights. That’s the closed thing I can give for a connection between the two series. In canon ,writers of “Forget Me Lots” could have been inspired by Xena when they made Jasmine Scrooge Of The Desert. Like Xena Jas wears black and is good with a whip.

Look what I stumpbeled upon yesterday, original scripts of 3 Aladdin TV episodes. It’s actually a book instead of seprate binded scripts. The book includes scripts from “Do The Rat Thing”, “The Day The Bird Stood Still” and “Smolder and Wiser” Notice that the first draft of “Do The Rat Thing” dates November 25 1992, the day the movie premiered country wide. Amazing isn’t it?

Disney just opened a small website featuring both Enchanted Journey and Magical Jewels video game as well as the older (November 2006) Royal Adventure for the Game Boy Advance.
Notice that older Princess fans who played RPG’s like Zelda: A Link To The Past on the Super Nintendo that Royal Adventure’s visuals borrow heavily from those games. Actually the Game Boy Advance is allot like the SNES in pocket format. But that trivial information lets continue on the site.
It consists of summaries, screenshots and a good resolution trailer for the Wii version that’s out since 2007 edition of the E3 game fair. The only change is that game got a mild Cartoon Voilence rating by the ESRB

While doing research for the 15th Aladdin Anniversary Celebration project for next month when it’s fifteen years since Aladdin premiered on November 25 1992 I came across “The Magic Carpet Ride” By A Golden Book.

It’s a small hard cover book aimed at Baby-Preschool kids. Published in the year of the movie’s release this 23 booklet is a summary of the events taken between the oasis and the kiss. On page 3 a great image of Aladdin thinking about Jasmine as he wished to become a prince.
I saw potential to make a fine coloring page from it while flipping through it. Can’t remember when exactly I purchased it though. Besides it’s been a while since I converted a full color image to a coloring page. I think it was the one where Jas was hugging a bird.

Practical Aladdin Mobile

October 20th, 2007

I finished my first home-made Aladdin mobile! This is how I did it.

  1. Download the mobile here
  2. Print the images, color and cut them out.
  3. Buy a long 270 cm wood and saw it in 4 pieces of 50 centimeters long.
  4. Glue two pieces together forming a cross, screw small hooks or eyes at the four ends then a bigger hook in the cross center.
  5. Next you want to cut four stings and glue or tape one on the back of each image. And make a loop at the end.
  6. You either hang the mobile directy on the ceiling to put a short string of rope between also tape the strings to the hooks if they tend fall off.

I named it “Palace” because all characters have connections to the palace of Agrabah. My next set will be “Cave”, including Jafar with Iago, Aladdin with Abu, Carpet and Genie and as bonus for the center The Cave of Wonders.

A Whole New Dr. Who

October 19th, 2007

I enjoy watching Dr. Who whenever I get the chance that is. The idea of timetravel and going from world to world in a matter of hours always facinated me. And there’s no lack of that this Bristish series about Rose Tyler an avarager teenager traveling with The Doctor, a Time Lord with the techolegy to take it up against any from of evil in any place and any time.

While The Doctor is an attractive human-like alien and Rose is quite a beauty the two have a strong friendship from what I understood but they didn’t end up together.
YouTube user Cursed Pirates made a music video of what might have been.

akikoookami, livejournal user and member of the Agrabah Community, did a parody on the rather awful Peacock Princess dance from the new Enchanted Tales DVD.
Genius!
