Film Theory: Aladdin Should Have DIED! (Disney)

The irony of Disney taking dark fairy tales and sanitizing them to make family-friendly animated films only for Matpat to over-analyze them and make them dark again.

"144,522 newtons per second" is a bit like saying my bathroom scale reads 180 pounds every second that I'm standing on it. Technically true but a little weird.

Shoutout to MatPat and his editors who always remember to include metric measurements in this kind of videos for us non-U.S. viewers. You're the best <3

I have a theory that the magic carpet wasn't just travelling, it's teleportation of some kind. During the moments between frames and scenes we could assume that the carpet teleported to another location in a blink, because they're above clouds most of the time, it'd be hard to spot the differences, allowing them to jump their way across the world like a sci-fi movie.

I always assumed that Genie used some sort of magic to warp reality to shorten the distance of the flight and to keep them alive at that altitude.

I’ve always liked to think they had a magic barrier protecting them from the elements. That also means they could go as fast as they wanted without having to worry about G-force or insane speeds.

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how much of a G Carpet is? He found a thieving street rat and monkey and helped them on their adventure, saving them multiple times from certain death, transporting them across large distances, and even acted as Aladdin’s literal wingman in winning Jasmine’s heart. In terms of Disney friends of the main character, is there anybody else who’s even better?

I haven't actually seen the live action version, but to be fair to it's version of A Whole New World, Jasmine was kept fairly sheltered to the point where she'd have to sneak out to see just the area's around the palace. For her, being able to see a bunch of the relatively local things she's never gotten to see in her homeland before _WOULD_ be magical.

Ok let’s cut short. Plot twist, everyone in Aladdin are aliens! But hey, that’s just a theory, a game theory! Thanks for watching<3
