From statements like the ones you are making.  However, there are those
who believe that there is an absolute truth, and those that don't, and

Subject: Aladdin Soundtrack:  Lyrical Feel?
Date: 11 Nov 92 22:54:36 EST
Organization: Western Michigan University

Hmmmmm....perhaps it is just my keen ear (from all those years as a music
major), or perhaps I've just listened to *A LOT* of Tim Rice music and a
whole lotta Howard Ashman, but just by listening to the soundtrack to
Aladdin, I could pretty figure out who wrote which songs (lyrics, that is). 

My initial impression was that Howard Ashman wrote Arabian Nights, Friend 
Like Me, and Prince Ali.  They just sounded so much (in feel, not really
in sound) like TLM and B&TB!  And when I listened to A Whole New World, it 
sounded like the track had been lifted from Chess!

I was wrong about One Jump Ahead, which I thought sounded like a hybrid
Disney/Chess song, but figured was probably written by Howard Ashman.  But 
low and behold, when I looked upon the lyric sheet (YEAH!  THEY INCLUDED 
LYRICS!), I saw that Tim Rice had done it.  Hmmm....I guess 4 out of 5 is 
pretty darned good!

Anybody else feel the distinction between lyrical styles that I did?

My overall impression of the soundtrack is that I love it!  I was sorta 
surprised, however, that the music didn't sound more middle eastern.  It
sounds like some sort of funky hybrid...good, but sorta weird...

You're right.  The statement at the beginning was until his 21st birthday,
and somewhere (dinner probably) it was said that they were enchanted or
something for 10years.  This may be all right, since he could have been
an obnoxious little 11 year old who turned the ugly woman away.  And _maybe_
the picture is just a snazzy picture of an eleven year old.  I liked the 
movie so much I'm willing to overlook it.

My daughter is 4 1/2 and adores it!  She was 3 1/2 last year when the movie came out in the
states and she went to see it with  daycare before we had a chance to go.  She loved it then
and I'm not even sure how many times she saw it in the theater .  We all love it and picked up
our pre-ordered video the day it arrived at the Disney store!

She even talked her VERY talented grandmother into making her a Mrs. Pott's costume for
Haloween this year!  (She was extremly cute & grandma did a WONDERFUL job on creating the
costume from pictures Kristen sent her during the year!)

Carol and I have noticed that the '93 versions of Birnbaum's "Walt Disney

I feel sorry for you out there who haven't had a chance to pick up the CD its
really good. IMHO.  We got our shipment of the soundtrack in on Saturday.  I
had to stock the shipment myself backstage.  The CDs aren't going as fast as I
though they would though.  It appears that people want to see the movie before
they get the soundtrack.  I couldn't wait for the soundtrack to come in.  We've
been listening to the songs on the back screen for the past week and a half. 
If anybody is close to us just come on out to the Disney Store in Oxmoor
Center, we have tons of the Aladdin CDs.

You're lucky!  Carol and I were just in our Disney Store yesterday

I think Walt Disney once said that kids love to be scared.  He 
was referring, of course to the scarry parts of his movies,
cartoons, attractions, etc.  I recall (or do I?) really enjoying
Disney TV shows and movies.  I relived that feeling last night
after watching B&tB on video with my little girl.  My wife and
I had seen it at the theater believing it had parts that were 
too intense for our daughter and I am glad we did that.  But last
night, at home, we all enjoyed the movie together!  Sure, my
daughter clasped her hands to the side of her head during one
or two scarry parts but she marvelled at others and clapped at
the end of the Be Our Guest production.  She thoroughly enjoyed
the movie, as did we-again.  When we discussed it after it was
over she showed no latent trepidation over any of it.  To tell
the truth, I was the one who dreamed about beasts last night!
Sort of a cross between the Beast and  The Island of Dr. Moreau!
Must have been that taco salad :-)!  So kids do enjoy being
scared, as long as it is done in the right way.  I think Disney
knows the right way.

	Well, the statement "There is no absolute truth" IS self-

If so...)

Here in the states, we have something called Disney stores.  What Disney has 
done is take a little bit of magic and transported it to various shopping 
centers and malls around the country, thereby allowing Disneyphiles a chance
to buy Disneyana without having to trek to California or Florida.
	Until Disney jumps the pond, I would recommend asking for a catalog.
It's not as inclusinve as the stores, but it is better than nothing.

Yes, they definitely look very similar (Price Eric with a tan!).
It's not the same actor, though.  Price Eric does act a lot like
Christopher Barnes, but we'll have to wait to see if any of his
mannerisms made their way to Aladdin.

On that note, doesn't Jasmine look just a little like Vanessa (aka
Ursula in disguise)?  Just substitute a sneer for cuteness and twist
the eyes around about 45 degrees and there you have it.
Incidentally, while the wolves were attacking Belle in BatB, she
strongly resembled Vanessa in a couple of shots.  Different head
shapes, but still some similarity.
