No... I'm not talking about in-jokes, here.  Rather, I'm interested in
books and articles on the behind-the-scenes struggles.

So far, I've found three very good articles.
Entertainment Tonight had a cover story on Aladdin, including detail
of all the changes that the script went through.  Plus, a sidebar
describing the six songs that were cut from the film and why.

Premiere magazine--the issue with the Dracula cover.

$25 coffeetable book "The Making of Aladdin"  Actually, I'm more
interested in the info in the articles.  Chief problems:  1) No
mention of Robin Williams name--and their contortions to avoid his
name distract.  2) Too much personality driven, rather than focussing
on the process. I'm far more interested in the behind the scene
battles that they discuss in the other articles, than I am in twelve
pages of Linda Larkin's voice auditions.
[Also, I must mention one of the funnier typos:  Oliver & Company
featured "a pack of dogs as _Fabian's_ gang"]

Any other good sources of information?
