Jasmine from Aladdin

So Disney's Aladdin is supposed to be set in a fictional Arabian city [Agrabah], but...

- Agrabah seems a lot like Agra
- Jasmine has a long black braid [artists just forgot the parandah]
- Her name is Jasmine! Jass-meen! The Arabic version of Jasmine would be Yasmeen
- SHE WEARS PATIALA SALWAR
- The castle looks like Taj Mahal, very Mogul-esque
- Her tiger is named Raja

What else?

Aladdin's crown when he turns into "Prince Ali Ababwah" looks somewhat like a pugh, maybe crossed with the Pope's crown. And Jafar's crown is sort of shaped like a turban. For some reason, all the pughs except for the Sultan's are larr-less.

Also, the streetrat-enforcers, those mean looking guys who hunt Aladdin down in the Bazaar and chase him around with scimitars - they all have pughs. Jafar's staff doesn't look too far from a daang?

Too much free time? Oh yes.
