DjinniGurl started a contest to fandub the entire movie. I prefer the orginal English and Dutch voices but it’s an facinating concept to keep an eye on.

Tipped by Jafaria from Aladdin Central Messageboard I enjoyed watching an Aladdin Music Video or AMV titled Love Potion Nr. 9. The more because there aren’t that many made these days.

I saw Sleeping Beauty on Disney Channel the other day, about that only decent thing on but that’s a different story, so I checked around Deviant Art for SB fan-art and found a beautiful drawing of Jasmine in Aurora’s dress. I

Lego-fied Aladdin and Jafar

merkal — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 08:08:40 +0000

Over at Eurobricks, a Lego forum I’ll lurke. Member The Penguin made Lego minifig versions of Aladdin and Jafar. The figs are custom made. Some people make their own Lego pieces by clay or other methots in this case Aladdin’s hair, fez and sword are homemade. The Jafar minifig has cape, shoulderpads and snakestaff specially made. Their faces and printing on torso and legs are selfmade decals. So the only Lego Company parts are Aladdin’s legs, torso and head and Jafar’s legs, which is a slope normally used in roofs, torso and head.

Are you kidding me? Jasmine/Rajah fanart

merkal — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:52:37 +0000

DA user Opal-I did an amazing job in coloring a drawing of Jasmine and Rajah listing to Aladdin pouceing about how wonderful Princess Jasmine is by lordsnoopy. It’s excellent capturing the spirit of the scene well I mean I love the look she gives her pet tiger.

… Jasmine + Rahja … by ~Opal-I on deviant ART

Opal’s focus is mainly on coloring other people’s drawings which is something this artist is pretty good at. Her other (Aladdin) work is certainly worth mentioning.

LordSnoopy’s gallery has nice drawings of again Jasmine but also Rajah and Jafar.

Animated Views talks with Mark Henn

For a couple of years Animated News was the source for Disney news and a good source for Aladdin related new items often crew related. Last year the updates became infrequent and I stopped coming there. It since then got an overhaul and focused on editorial content in the form of reviews and interviews. Their lasted talk is with Disney veteran Mark Henn, the “girl guy” who animated many Disney ladies in the last 20 years including Jasmine and Tiana for those who don’t know him. In part 2 he talks about animating Belle, Jas, Young Simba down in the satellite studio in Florida while most of the animators reside in California and how commutation went between the two studios.
He doesn’t reveal anything new on how Jasmine’s design came together, he got his inspiration from his sister and Linda Larkin but I really enjoyed learning what scenes he did on Beauty and the Beast.
