Aladdin (1992 Disney film)
Script an development
In 1988, lyricist Howard Ashman pitched the idea o an animated musical adaptation o Aladdin. Ashman haed written a 40-page film treatment remainin faithful tae the plot an characters o the original story, but envisioned as a campy 1930s-style musical wi a Cab Calloway/Fats Waller-lik Genie. Alangside pairtner Alan Menken, Ashman conceived several sangs an eikit Aladdin's friends named Babkak, Omar, an Kasim tae the story. Hooanever, the studio wis dismissive o Ashman's treatment an removed the project frae development in which Ashman an Menken war later recruited tae compone songs for Beauty an the Beast. Linda Woolverton, wha haed worked on Beauty an the Beast an aw, uised thair treatment an developit a draft wi inspired elements frae The Thief o Bagdad sic as a villain named Jaf'far, an aged sidekick retired human thief named Abu, an a human handmaiden for the princess. Then, directors John Musker an Ron Clements jynt the production, picking Aladdin oot o three projects affered, which included an adaptation o Swan Lake an King o the Jungle – that eventually became The Lion King. Afore Ashman's daith in Mairch 1991, Ashman an Menken haed componed "Prince Ali" an his last song, "Humiliate the Boy".
Musker an Clements wrate a draft o the screenplay, an then delivered a storie reel tae studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg in Apryle 1991. Katzenberg thocht the script didnae engage, an on a day kent bi the staff as "Black Friday", demaunded that the entire storie be rewrate athoot reschedulin the film's November 25, 1992 release date. Amang the changes Katzenberg requested frae Clements an Musker war tae nae be dependent on Ashman's vision, an the remuival o Aladdin's mither, remarkin, "eighty-six the mither. The maw's a zero." Screenscreivin duo Ted Elliott an Terry Rossio war brocht in tae rewark the storie, an the changes thay med included the remuival o Aladdin's mither, the strenthenin o the character o Princess Jasmine, an the deletion o a wheen o the Ashman-Menken songs. Aladdin's personalitie wis rewritten tae be "a wee bit rucher, like a young Harrison Ford," an the papingoe Iago, wha was originallie a stiff Inglis archetype, wis rewirked intae a comic rôle efter the filmmakars saw Gilbert Gottfried in Beverly Hills Cop II. Gottfried wis cast tae gie Iago's his vyce. Bi October 1991, Katzenberg wis blythe wi the new version o Aladdin. As wi Woolverton's screenplay, a wheen o characters an plot elements are based on the 1940 version o The Thief o Bagdad, the location o the film wis changed frae Baghdad, Iraq, tae the fictional Arabian citie o Agrabah.
Design an animation
Ane o the first issues that the animators faced durin production wis the depiction o Aladdin himsel. Director an producer John Musker explains: In early screenings, we played with him being a little bit younger, and he had a mother in the story. [...] In design he became more athletic-looking, more filled out, more of a young leading man, more of a teen-hunk version than before.
He wis first gaun tae be 13 year old, but later becam 18. Aladdin wis ettled bi a team led bi supervisin animator Glen Keane, an wis original made tae resemmle actor Michael J. Fox. Durin production, it wis decidit that the design wis too laddish an wisna "appealing enouch", sae the character wis redrawn tae add airts derived frae actor Tom Cruise an Calvin Klein models.
The design for maist characters wis based on the wark o caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, whilk production designer Richard Vander Wende said wis appropriate tae the theme, due tae similarities tae the swooping lines o Persian miniatures an Arabic calligraphy. Jafar's design wis nae based on Hirschfeld's work acause Jafar's supervising animator, Andreas Deja, wanted the character tae be contrastin. Each character wis animated alone, wi the animators consulting ilk ither tae mak scenes wi interrelatin characters. Syne Aladdin's animator Glen Keane wis wirkin in the California branch o Walt Disney Feature Animation, an Jasmine's animator Mark Henn wis in the Florida ane at Disney-MGM Studios, thay haed tae frequently phone, fax or send designs an discs tae ilk ither. Animator Randy Cartwright describit wirkin on the Magic Carpet as challengin, syne it is anly a rectangular shape, wha expresses himsel throu pantomime – "It's sort o like actin bi origami". Cartwright kept foldin a piece o cloth while animatin tae see hou tae position the cairpet. Efter the character animation wis done, the cairpet's surface design wis applee'd digital-like.
Fur the scenery design, layoot supervisor Rasoul Azadani teuk mony pictures o his hametoon o Isfahan, Iran for guidal. Ither inspirations for design war Disney's animated films frae the 1940s an 50s an the 1940 film The Thief of Bagdad. The colouring wis done wi the Computer Animation Production System, an the colour motifs war chose accordin tae the personalitie – the protagonists uise licht colours sic as blue, the antagonists darker yins sic as reid an black, an Agrabah an its pailace uise the neutral colour yellae. Computer animation wis uised for some elements o the film, sic as the tiger entrance o the Cave o Wonders an the scene whaur Aladdin tries tae escape the collapsing cave.
Musker an Clements creatit the Genie wi Robin Williams in mind; even tho Katzenberg suggestit actors sic as John Candy, Steve Martin, an Eddie Murphy, Williams wis approached an eventually acceptit the role. Williams came for vyce recording sessions during breaks in the shooting o twa ither films he wis starring in at the time, Hook an Toys. Unusual fur an animated film, a gey bit o Williams' dialogue wis mad up on the spot: for some scenes, Williams wis gien topics an diallog suggests, but alloued tae improvise his lines. It wis estimatit thit Williams improvised 52 characters. Eric Goldberg, the supervisin animator for the Genie, then reviewed Williams' recorded diallog an selected the best gags an lines that his crew wad creaut character animation tae match.
Robin Williams' conflichts wi the studio
In gratitude for his success wi Touchstone Pictures' Good Morning, Vietnam, Robin Williams voiced the Genie for SAG scale pey ($75,000) insteid o his asking fee o $8 milȝeoun, on condeetion that his name or image widna be uised for marketing, an his (supporting) character nae tak mair nor 25% o space on advertising artwork, syne Williams' film Toys wis scheduled for release ane month efter Aladdin's debut. For financial reasons, the studio went back on the deal on baith counts, especially in poster airt bi haein the Genie in 25% o the image, but haein ither major an supporting characters portrayed considerably smawer. The Disney Hyperion beuk Aladdin: The Making o an Animated Film listed baith o Williams' characters "The Peddler" an "The Genie" ahead o main characters, but wis forced tae refer tae him anly as "the actor signed tae play the Genie".
Disney, while nae uisin Williams’ name in commercials as per the contract, uised his vyce for the Genie in the commercials an uised the Genie character tae sell toys an fast fuid tie-ins, athoot haein tae pey Williams additional money; Williams unhappily quipped at the time “The anly reason Mickey Mouse haes three fingers is acause he can’t pick up a check.” Disney attempted tae assuage Williams bi sending him a Pablo Picasso pentin worth mair nor $1 milȝeoun at the time, but this muive failed tae repair the damaged relationship, as the pentin wis a self-portrait o the airtist as Vincent van Gogh which apparently really "clashed" wi the Williams' wilder hame decor. Williams refused tae sign on for Aladdin 2, sae it wis Dan Castellaneta that voiced the Genie. When Jeffrey Katzenberg wis replaced bi Joe Roth as Walt Disney Studios chairman, Roth gied a public apology tae Williams.
Music
Composer Alan Menken an songwriters Howard Ashman an Tim Rice war praised for creautin a soundtrack that is "consistently guid, rivaling the best o Disney's ither animated musicals from the '90s." Menken an Ashman began work on the film thegither, wi Rice takkin ower as lyricist efter Ashman died o AIDS-relatit complications in early 1991. Awtho fourteen songs war written for Aladdin, anly sax are featurt in the movie, three bi each lyricist. The DVD Special Edition released in 2004 includes fower songs in early animations tests, an a music video o ane, "Proud o yer Boy", performed bi Clay Aiken, which appears on the album DisneyMania 3 an aw.
Theatrical run
A lairge promotion campaign preceded Aladdin's debut in theaters, wi the film's trailer bein attached tae maist Disney VHS releases, an numerous tie-ins an licensees bein released. Efter a leemitit release on November 13, 1992, Aladdin debuted in 1,131 theaters on November 25, 1992, grossing $19.2 milȝeoun in its openin weekend – nummer twa at the box affice, behind Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It teuk aicht weeks for the film tae reach nummer ane at the US box affice, breaking the record for the week atween Christmas an New Year's Eve wi $32.2 milȝeoun. The film held the tap spot five times during its 22-week run. Aladdin wis the maist successfu film o 1992 grossing $217 milȝeoun in the United States an ower $504 milȝeoun warldwide. It wis the biggest gross for an animated film until The Lion King twa years later, an wis the first full-length animated film tae gross $200 milȝeoun in North Americae. As o Januar 2014, it is the thirtieth highest grossing animated film an the third highest grossing tradeetionally animated feature warldwide, behind The Lion King an The Simpsons Movie. It sauld an estimatit 52,442,300 tickets in the US.

Warner Bros. Cartoons director Chuck Jones even cried the film "the funniest feature ever made." Furthermair, Inglis-Erse comedian Spike Milligan considered it tae be the greatest film o aw time. James Berardinelli gae it 3.5 oot o 4 stars, praising the "crisp visuals an wonderful song-and-dance numbers". Peter Travers o Rolling Stone said the comedy made the film accessible tae baith childer an adults, a vision shared wi Desson Howe o The Washington Post, wha said "kids are still going tae be entranced bi the magic an adventure." Brian Lowry o Variety praised the cast o characters, describing the expressive magic cairpet as "its most remarkable accomplishment" an considered that "Aladdin overcomes most story flaws thanks to sheer technical virtuosity".

Controversies
Ane o the verses o the openin sang "Arabian Nichts" wis altered follaein protests frae the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). The lyrics war changed in Julie 1993 frae "Where they cut aff yer ear if they dinnae like yer face," in the original release tae "Where it's flat an immense an the heat is intense." The chynge first appeared on the 1993 video release. The original lyric wis intact on the initial CD soundtrack release, but the re-release uses the edited lyric. The rerecording haes the original vyce on aw ither lines an then a noticeably deeper vyce says the edited line. The Broadway adaptation uses the edited line. Entertainment Weekly ranked Aladdin in a leet o the maist controversial films in history, due tae this incident. The ADC complained aboot the portrayal o the lead characters Aladdin an Jasmine. Thay criticised the characters' Englified an pail features, an Inglis-American accents, in contrast tae the ither characters in the film, which are dark-skinned, hae foreign accents an grotesque facial features, an appear villainous or greedy.
Protests war raised tae anither scene. When Aladdin is attacked bi the tiger Rajah on the pailace balcony, Aladdin quietly says a line that some fowk reportit hearing as "guid teenagers, take aff yer clothes," which thay considered a subliminal reference tae promiscuity. Hooanever, accordin tae the commentary track on the 2004 DVD, while Musker an Clements did admit Scott Weinger mad up on the spot during the scene, thay claimed "we did not record that, we would not record that," an said the line wis "guid tiger, take aff an gae..." an the wird "tiger" is owerlapped bi Rajah's snarl. Efter the wird tiger, a seicont vyce can be heard which haes been suggestit wis accidentally grafted onto the soundtrack. Because o the controversy, Disney removed the line on the DVD release.
Animation enthusiasts hae noticed similarities atween Aladdin an Richard Williams' unfinished film The Thief an the Cobbler (kent forby as Arabian Knicht unner Miramax Films an The Princess an the Cobbler unner Majestic Films Internaitional). Thir similarities include a seemilar plot, seemilar characters, scenes an background designs, an the antagonist Zig-Zag's resemblance in character design an mannerisms tae Genie an Jafar. Tho Aladdin wis released prior tae The Thief an the Cobbler, The Thief an the Cobbler initially began production much earlier in the 1960s, an wis mired in difficulties includin financial problems, copyright issues, story revisions an late production times caused bi separate studios tryin tae finish the film efter Richard Williams wis fired frae the project for lack o finished work. The late release, coupled wi Miramax purchasing an re-editing the film, haes whiles resulted in The Thief an the Cobbler bein labeled a rip-aff o Aladdin.

Alexander Nasmyth
Alexander Nasmyth (9 September 1758 – 10 Aprile 1840) wis a Scots portrait an laundscape penter, a pupil o Allan Ramsay.
Biography
Nasmyth wis born in Edinburgh on 9 September 1758. He studied at the Ryal Hie Schuil an the Trustees’ Academy an wis apprenticed tae a coachbigger. Aged saxteen, he wis taen tae Lunnon bi portrait penter Allan Ramsay whaur he wirked on subordinate pairts o Ramsay's warks. Nasmyth returnt tae Edinburgh in 1778, whaur he haed thrift as a portrait penter. He wis gien a loan bi Patrick Miller o Dalswinton an depairtit Scotland in 1782 for Italy, whaur he stayed twa year forderin his studies. In Italy he gied maist o his attention tae laundscape pentin, an is pit doun as haein copied a wark bi Claude Lorrain.
Nasmyth returnt tae Scotland whaur for the neist few year he continued his career as a portraitist. He pentit some warks in the style o Ramsay, but maist wis conversation pieces wi ootdoor settins. His portrait o Robert Burns, that becam a close friend, is noo in the Scottish National Gallery. Eventually, Nasmyth's strang Leeberal thochts offendit mony o his aristocratic patrons in a politically chairged Edinburgh, leadin to a faw in commissions for portraits, an in 1792 he gied up the genre, turnin insteid tae laundscape pentin. He stairtit pentin scenery for theatres anaa, an activity he kept up wi for the neist thirty year, an in 1796 pentit a panorama. His laundscapes ar a o actual places, an airchitecture is for usual an important element. Some warks wis pented tae illustrate the effecks that new biggins wid hae on an area, sic as Inverary from the Sea, pented for the Duke o Argyll tae shaw the settin o a proponed lichthoose.
Nasmyth haed a muckle interest in ingineerin, an proponed mony ideas that wis later widely uised, awtho he niver patentit ony o them. In October 1788, whan Patrick Miller sailed the warld's first successfu steamship, designed by William Symington, on Dalswinton Loch, Nasmyth wis ane o the crew.
He wis employed bi memmers o the Scots nobility in the impruvement an beautification o their estates. He designed the circular temple coverin St Bernard's Well bi the Watter o Leith (1789), an brigs at Almondell, West Lothian, an Tongland, Kirkcudbrightshire. In 1815 he wis ane o thae invitit tae pit forrit proposals for the expansion o Edinburgh New Toun.
Nasmyth set up a drawin schuil an "instilled a whole generation with the importance of drawing as a tool of empirical investigation"; his pupils includit David Wilkie, David Roberts, Clarkson Stanfield an John Thomson o Duddingston; an it wis prolly frae him that John James Ruskin (faither o John Ruskin) lairned tae pent as a schuil loon in Edinburgh in the later 1790s. Ainither successfu pupil wis the penter, dominie, airt dealer an connoisseur Andrew Wilson, that haed his first airt trainin unner Nasmyth. Nasmyth wis forby the tutor to the polymath Mary Somerville an introduced her tae the leadin intellectuals in Edinburgh.
Nasmyth deit at hame, 47 York Place (aboot conter tae the hoose o Sir Henry Raeburn) in Edinburgh. He wis buried in St Cuthbert's Churchyard at the wast end o Princes Street.
