Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a series of caches recognizing the top 10 movies of each year from 1950 - 1999. Although most of the roads in this series of caches are suitable for the family sedan, there are some stretches that will require medium to high-clearance vehicles to make it over the rocks without damage to your oil pan. This is a ‘series’ of caches and NOT a ‘power trail’.
NOTE: This is NOT a POWER TRAIL! You won’t be able to complete this in one or two days and it is critical that each cache be put back where it was found and not moved from one location to another in the hopes of speeding up your discoveries. Maintenance of this series of caches is dependent upon each cache remaining in its original location. DO NOT move these caches!
It is REQUESTED that you NOT use ‘stickers’ to log your visit as these stickers are known to gum up the log, making it difficult for others to sign the log and making maintenance necessary sooner than it should. Rubber stamps are fine and there are blank pages in most of the logs for the use of rubber stamps. In the interest of keeping maintenance at a minimum, please use one line of the log to mark your visit and save your dialog for the online log for others to enjoy.
Many of the caches have a MOJO poker chip. Once you have collected one please leave the rest for others to find and claim. These are NOT FTF prizes!
Nearly all caches will have a difficulty rating of 3 because most of the caches are micros or hidden pretty well. And none of them will have hints on where to look. Good luck!
Aladdin is a 1992 American computer-animated adventure film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Aladdin was the 31st animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and was part of the Disney film era known as the Disney Renaissance. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, and is based on the Arab folktale of Aladdin and the magic lamp from One Thousand and One Nights. The voice cast features Scott Weinger, Jonathan Freeman, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried, and Douglas Seale.
Lyricist Howard Ashman first pitched the idea, and the screenplay had to go through three drafts before Disney president Jeffrey Katzenberg greenlighted the production. The animators based their designs on the work of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld, and computers were used for both colouring and creating some animated elements. The musical score was written by Alan Menken and features six songs with lyrics written by both Ashman and Tim Rice, who took over after the former's death.
Aladdin was released on November 25, 1992 to positive reviews, despite some criticism from Arabs who considered the film racist, and was the most successful film of 1992, earning over $217 million in revenue in the United States, and over $504 million worldwide. The film also won many awards, most of them for its soundtrack. Aladdin's success led to many material inspired by the film such as two direct-to-video sequels, The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, an animated television series, toys, video games, spin-offs, and merchandise.
Cast and characters
Scott Weinger as Aladdin / Prince Ali Ababwa: A poor but kind-hearted Agrabah thief. Brad Kane supplies the character's singing voice. Weinger sent in a homemade audition tape with his mother playing the Genie, and after several call backs he found six months later that he had the part.
Robin Williams as The Genie/The Narrator: A comedic genie, with nigh omnipotent power that can only be exercised when his master wishes it. Clements and Musker wrote the part of the Genie for Williams, and when met with resistance created a reel of Williams' standup to animation of the Genie. When Williams watched the video, he "laughed his ass off" and agreed to do the project.
Jonathan Freeman as Jafar: The power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah and the main antagonist of the film. Jafar was originally envisioned as an irritable character, but the directors decided that a calm villain would be scarier. Animator Andreas Deja tried to incorporate Freeman's facial expressions into the character.
Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine: The princess of Agrabah, who is tired of life in the royal palace. Lea Salonga supplies the character's singing voice. Larkin was chosen nine months after her audition, and had to adjust her pitch to reach the voice the filmmakers were looking for the character.
Frank Welker as Abu: Aladdin's kleptomaniac pet monkey with a high-pitched voice. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have. In the three years it took to record the film, Welker did not meet Weinger or Williams. Welker also voiced Jasmine's tiger Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders.
Gilbert Gottfried as Iago: Jafar's sarcastic, foul-mouthed pet parrot sidekick. Iago's animator Will Finn tried to incorporate some aspects of Gottfried's appearance into Iago's design, specially his semi-closed eyes and the always-appearing teeth.
Douglas Seale as The Sultan: The pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah, who desperately tries to find a suitor for his daughter Jasmine. Some aspects of the character were inspired in the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority figure.
Jim Cummings as Razoul: The Captain of the Guard. He was named after layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani.
The Magic Carpet is a sentient carpet who is able to fly. Animator Randy Cartwright described working on the Carpet as challenging, since it is just a square shape, who expresses himself through pantomime — "It's sort of like acting by origami". Cartwright kept folding a piece of cloth while animating to see how to position the Carpet. After the character animation was done, the carpet's surface design was applied digitally.
