This is dumb. They're clearly shown visiting Egypt, Greece, China, etc.

    Duets in Disney cartoons are sex scenes.

    The "whole new world" is him taking her virginity.

    Ahem. That was a trio of young dudes? They 100% took him to France. Why do you think he was so happy and carefree and jolly? But noooOOOoooo, you gotta come back and make babies and fix stuff for the lazy breeders. Uncle Curry took it too far and needs to be spanked into the darkness and that's truly the problem free philosophy.

    It's been a long time since i've seen it but don't they fly to other countries during the song?

    i wonder if they keep singing for the whole 8 hours flight or there's awkward 3 hours where they fly over the ocean and there's nothing to see

    "Wow, it's mostly water huh?"

    "...yep"

    3 hours would be an extremely fast ocean transit. One of the shorter routes across the Atlantic is East Canada to Ireland, a distance of about 3000km (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight), so that would be 1000kph, which is basically the upper limit of subsonic flight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number#Classification_of_Mach_regimes).

    I have serious doubts about the carpet's aerodynamic performance at that speed, and the ability of the passengers to stay aboard.

    I expect that a more reasonable top speed is around 100kph, and even then the passengers are gripping the rug with all of their strength to stay alive, and there is so much noise from the air moving around them they can't possibly have any conversation. For 30 hours non-stop.

    The rest of the world is far away, and that carpet is not infinitely fast.

    Historically-accurate Aladdin: He flies her to the top of Africa and back because that’s the extent of the largest maps of Earth at the time.

    In fairness she was pretty impressed by anything outside the palace.

    See also that one tweet. "Pocahontas was with the colononizers while Jasmine was looking for the hood n----s. She was in the GUTTERS."
