Not too long ago or at least as of 2020 up to now, I got around to articles on Gargwiki of properties referenced in Gargoyles, made a reference to it or both. Basically from DuckTales (both 1987 & 2017) to Kim Possible to Amphibia.

Aladdin of course being among them, and relating to that...

1. So while Puck's mentioning of Aladdin's lamp was made to reference the Disney show from the same time, as I noted was more in line with the original telling. In which the Lamp Genie had no real limits for the most part. And for those reading this post, there were indeed two genies in some versions of the story, including the Ring Genie.

So did Owen ever watch the Disney film Aladdin, or is his knowledge based on the previous versions?

2. On that note, you ever watch any of those other animated takes on Aladdin? I actually did see the version myself from Bevanfield as a babysitter of mine had kids who owned it on VHS.

3. Now the Aladdin article was something I did initially cause of The Mirror along with the comic making references to the Disney version, but one bit of tidbit that came to my attention.

Well I wasn't unaware of the time, The Animal Kingdom from Aladdin was pretty similar to The New Olympians episode. Mainly Aladdin being in the place of Elisa. Only difference being that TAK is a one off which ends with more of a feeling that the residents of the village might be able to trust more humans in the future.

The thing catching my notice more recently was both episodes besides their shared story is Michael Dorn voicing a character reluctant to trust either Elisa or Aladdin.

Any chance that TNO inspired the Aladdin episode, especially since the spinoff/series was in planning before Gargoyles?
