13 Disney Movie Theories That Will Blow Your Mind

Back To The Past

There is a theory that suggests Aladdin might not be set in the past like many people think, but that it is actually set 10,000 years into the future. There are a few things to support this idea, most of them revolving around the Genie. What could be simply dismissed as the brilliant humor and ad-libs of Robin Williams, might also give way for this time-span theory. The Genie is released from the lamp and says he has been inside for 10,000 years. Then, he proceeds for the rest of the movie to make countless references to pop culture of 1992 (the movie’s release year). Therefore, one could conclude that the Genie was trapped in the lamp in present day and was not released by Aladdin until, as he says, 10,000 years later.
