Michele pointed me to an auction of a very cute pin. Yes Disney didn’t forget, boys are fans too. From the same series come Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Dopey, Eric and Hercules plus Genie and Aladdin. It reminds of that boys oriantaed Disney Adventures line that wasn’t a success. The Disney Princess toddler pin collection for girls has Cinderella, Mulan, Snow White, Ariel, Belle and Aurora plus Jasmine.
The Princess and Frog Ross Blocher (Assistant Technical Director) and T. Daniel Hofstedt (character animator) did hilarious parody on Prince Naveen set on Alan Menken’s Prince Ali from the one and only Aladdin. Probably not mend for ears outside the production team though.
Fact is that T. Daniel Hofstedt worked on Aladdin as animator for Gazeem and Prince Achmed. He continued his Disney career by animating on most feature films up till Home on the Range.
The PC MS-DOS version of the Virgin Aladdin video game was by far the best of all the ports to inferior consoles. It had higher resolution, something like 480 x 320, better graphics with more detail, smoother animation some of inbetweener’s that worked on the film contributed to the game a first in video game history and the game had stereo 44 kHz 16-bit sound with a bigger wavetable (pre-recorded music notes) than any of the consoles. Worth noting that at the time, we’re talking early 90′s, the PC was still developing itself into a game system and so things like soundcards weren’t yet integrated into the mainboard like today’s modern systems. Most common where Creative Sound Blaster 2.0 or Pro compatible cards.
Aladdin’s Royal Caravan premiered at Disneyland in April 1993, almost a half year after the November 1992 release of the Disney’s animated hit, Aladdin. The parade delighted guests not only at Disneyland, but also at Walt Disney World there the parade made its way down Hollywood Boulevard in Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park.
In June 1994, Disneyland guests saw the royal procession for the last time as Prince Ali and Princess Jasmine made way for different royalty—the July 1994 debut of the The Lion King Celebration.
I remember the spitting camels from that 2-part Full House episode where the family visited Disney. “Watch out they spit!” genius! And that enormous Genie, wow! Love elephant Abu with Aladdin and Jasmine waving at the public. Cute!
I do think Jafar dissevered his own wagon, for more than a year the poor guy had to trail behind with Iago stuffed away in that garbage can -:(
There’s another recording of the parade during a windy day that cause some changes in that hero and heroine are under roof that might be Al’s hovel and animatronics Abu.
A requim for the Disney comedy Aladdin that, as this video shows, is also very epic.

If you are reading this you noticed the new header banner on the top of this page. For those who haven’t guessed, its Prince Ali’s parade as it was drawn for the comic book. I did the parade because I saw a question on Aladdin Central the other day asking where all the dancers, cooks, animals etc went after Jafar kicked them out. The music video below ties in with the whole I’m a prince so I’ll be a show off a “big spender” theme.
I was playing around in Paint Shop Pro with the wallpaper I made of the October ’07 issue of Princess Magazine. I recolored the background to green, hence the name Princess October ‘ 07 issue wallpaper green recolor. Jasmine’s dress on the main image went from a typical Disney Princess pink shade to a fresh water blue shade close to the color of her regular outfit.
The dress of side Jasmine went from blue to a light green shade falling in harmony with the background.
Hope you like!
