Aladdin Central Messageboard

[Amadou]

There are several moments, that look a little strange from the point of view of the logic. And it concerns not only Jas. For example, in the "Forget Me Lots" she smells a rose and loses all of her memories. But it's not a simple amnesia, because, I don't get why, she forgets that doing and feeling evil contradicts her nature almost at the genetic level. She could lose memory, but still be nice. Oh, and her tiger - how come that he forgets everybody EXCEPT the princess? Then, in "Strike up the Sand" she shows the lack of taste. But her sense of taste seems to be ok while she dresses herself. So, tasteful or tasteless? Next. I noticed that everybody there sleeps clothed (or these are such fashionable pajamas?). The sultan even doesn't take off his turban. Ok, maybe the nights are cold, i forget about it. And the last moment(s). Concerning Abis Mal and Mozenrath. How do they manage to survive after all those, it seemed, complete defeats (and stay healthy like nothing had happened)? It is not normal. Who released Mozy from the Black Sand or the cristal Ix? Maybe I ask too much from the animated movie. Strange things always happen there, and there is no logic at all.

The Blue Rose incident is another sighting of the cliche where, if someone loses their memory, he/she can go good/evil at the drop of a hat. It's ridiculous, I agree.

As for Jasmine's taste when it came to dressing up Aladdin... it's very possible that while she has a pretty good sense of female fashion, her sense of male fashion is slightly askew. It's not difficult, really - I've seen people who can dress the ladies up quite nicely get absolutely absurd when it comes to male clothing.

These are the types of questions people will forever ask, regardless of the fandom. Still, I will use my imagination to answer the questions.

Yes, it does seem that the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness makes a person extremely impressionable. Of course, anyone who loses his/her memory in a cartoon always becomes about as impressionable as a mudpie.

Yes, deserts do often get cold at night. The same conditions that let the heat in during the day let it out just as quickly come nightfall, so you can end up with some pretty radical extremes.

I thought about this: cartoons do have logic, but a very special one, which just can be comprehended by the children who have more imagination than adults (unless they are still kids in their souls), but will look twisted to those adults. Children can give sens to anything (at least I know some that can).

Kidding. That's the least I care about.

I think the reason children can give 'sense' to anything is because... they don't. They skip over key details completely - there is no sense; they don't need it.

I just had a thought - given how the blue rose was guarded by monks, perhaps it was created by someone who used it to brainwash innocent people into joining his cult!
