If you know the date of Black Friday, he died on March 14, 1991. I think he was dead by then, because Jeffery was there and Howard wasn't there in any pictures or videos. Alan started talking about how hard it was to take the mother out of the story (along with the song) and that happened soon after Jeffery saw the early version was shot with the story boards. I know that Howard died eight months before Beauty and the Beast came out, which meant most of the animators were still on the set of that. And since the movie was shot on story boards, it would make sense for it to be around summer of 1991 when Black Friday occured. That's my estimate anyway.

No, definitely not... I can't imagine what everyone on the set was having to go through...

The original was set in China, but I remember hearing it was a Persian story. I guess the reason the sorcerer was African and Aladdin was Chinese was to make it more impressive when the genie transports them to the other side of the world?

What did you think of that version of Aladdin Calluna? In this story it was infinity of wishes by the Genie of the ring. So how did they got to infinity of wish fullfillment to just three. And the ring to the lamp? Even before the Disney movie of Aladdin came out. It was the three wish deal....

In another subject, I haven't been in this messageboard that long but What was Black Friday all about ?

The movie was shot off the storyboards to Jeffery Kratzenburg on Thursday. (Eric Goldburgrefers to it as "holy thursday") That day, he said they the whole movie was to be started completely over, and change things, including getting rid of unlimited wishes, Genie/Ring, mother, three friends, Aladdin became older.
