The Beast in Aladdin
Throughout the film, we see Aladdin’s sweet childlike Sultan playing with toys, and he has a collection of his own that we can see at various points throughout the film. We do, however, only get to see them up close and personal for a brief moment. And there he is as soon as we do!
Beast from Beauty and the Beast is surrounded by a herd of camels, giraffes, rhinos, and other exotic animals. Of course, given that Aladdin was released a year after Beauty And The Beast, this homage is entirely appropriate.
A visit from the Aladdin rug
For the first time since all of the iconic Disney movies of the 1990s, The Princess and the Frog, which was released in 2009, represented a true return to Disney’s roots. In addition, the studio used classic 2D animation for the first time since all of the iconic Disney movies of the 1990s.
However, while many fans enjoy the visuals of more recent films, many still prefer the aesthetic of classics such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin. So, of course, the animation style and this cameo from the Aladdin magic carpet acknowledged this in The Princess And The Frog.
