- Others can correct me here if I'm wrong, but that's exactly the reaction you
- are supposed to have to his actions there. If Aladdin doesn't make mistakes,
- how can he learn from them (not to mention us learn from them, too).

- I tried watching a second time (and a bit the first time) from the perspective
- of not knowing who he was impersonating. I found all of the impressions still
- highly humorous. The second time, I finally realized who a couple of the

- enjoy it any less (I'm sure that my two and a half year old didn't understand
- the referents, but he still loves the movie and wants to see it a third time).

- >3) Can we get a woman who doesn't look like Belle/Ariel/EveryOtherWoman?
