Aladdin finds the lamp and rubs it, and is surprised when a wisecracking Genie appears and grants him three wishes.

Genie: Never fails. You get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp. Aladdin: Provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? Some all-powerful Genie. Can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Abu. He probably can't get us out of this cave. Looks like we'll have to find a way out of here. Genie: Excuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden you're walking out on me? I don't think so, not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit down! Genie: Three, no substitutions, exchanges or refunds. Sultan: Jafar, you vile betrayer. Iago: That's Sultan Vile Betrayer to you.

Bloopers When Aladdin is transformed into Prince Ali, his reflection in the mirror shows the wrong arm held up. When reflected in the steam, the flower in Jasmine's hair is shown on the wrong side. When Jasmine is climbing the palace wall to leave her trouser leg is shown, but in a close up shot her leg is bare. The script on the scrolls appears to be in Arabic and should be read from right to left, but Jafar and the Sultan's eyes move from left to right when reading it.
