Aladdin - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Sebastian the Crab cameo

While the Genie is looking for a royal recipe to transform Aladdin into a prince, he pulls out Sebastian from Disney's The Little Mermaid (which was also directed by Ron Clements and John Musker). A few notes of Under the Sea briefly play in the background.

The Beast figurine

When the Sultan is absentmindedly stacking a tower of small animal figurines, the Beast from Disney's 1991 film Beauty and the Beast can be clearly seen as one of the toys.

Directors' Cameo

Directors Ron Clements and John Musker animated themselves into the film. They appear as two background characters in the crowd when Prince Achmed arrives at the Sultan's palace.

Hidden Mickeys

In true Disney fashion, there are several Hidden Mickeys. Most notably, when Jafar's spell is broken and Rajah transforms from a tiger cub back into a full-sized tiger, his head briefly morphs into the shape of Mickey Mouse for a few frames.

Pinocchio face

When Aladdin promises to use his third wish to set the Genie free, the Genie's face briefly transforms into Pinocchio, complete with a growing nose, indicating his skepticism and belief that Aladdin is lying.
