* SpiritualSuccessor: The movie ends up being one for Will Smith's previous film ''Film/{{Hitch}}''. The Genie playing matchmaker for Aladdin and Jasmine is exaggerated here, but the movie has a few additional moments that makes the connection more obvious, such as [[spoiler: Genie acquiring his own love interest in Dalia and the movie having a DancePartyEnding almost identical to ''Hitch'']].

* CentralTheme: The identity you project to others versus who you truly are inside. Aladdin is a street thief with a heart of gold (the "Diamond in the Rough") who becomes a prince because it's the only way he can get people to take notice of him, but he starts to [[BecomingTheMask lose himself]] in the "Prince Ali" act. Jafar on the other hand is a street thief who became a vizier, and is secretly a warmongering aspiring EvilOverlord who hides his true colors. Then there's Jasmine, who wants to be sultan herself and not have to marry a foreigner who just wants the throne, but feels she's being ignored and not given the opportunity to show her worth. Genie tells Aladdin that most people who get their hands on the lamp immediately wish for money and power and it's clearly made him a bit jaded and cynical that he kept getting masters who used his powers for selfish means.

It's clearly made him a bit jaded and cynical that he kept getting masters who used to keep using his powers for selfish means.such selfish, shallow wishes, and he urges Aladdin not to let himself be changed like he's seen other master sdo.

* DarkReprise: While 1992's "One Jump Ahead" had one of these reprises depicting Aladdin's desires for a richer life, this version not only retains this song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQqX5u3GqxY but also adds another reprise]], where Aladdin begrudgingly accepts having to tell Jasmine the truth, despite the potentially damaging consequences. Also, while Genie is granting [[spoiler: Jafar's second wish]], a minor-key version of "Friend Like Me" plays.
