Aladdin and Jasmine should NOT have survived their own movie. No, not because of Jafar or any other Disney villain but because of one small scene: the magic carpet ride. There’s NO way Aladdin and Jasmine could have flown around the world in such a short amount of time. So today, we’re dissecting what REALLY would have happened. Grab your headset and start cranking up the Disney song jams because after watching this theory it will open up a whole new world of questions!

The irony of Disney taking dark fairy tales and sanitizing them to make family-friendly animated films only for Matpat to over-analyze them and make them dark again.
As Palpatine once said, "Ironic"
my grandfather worked with disney and said most of the music and stories were dark but kids wouldnt understand it. he also said the music i make would "make the devil cry" so i dont really know😂
MatPat be like: right back at ya, buckaroo
@@GeeManFigDouble irony with an ironic twist. Especially considering what they were meant to instill.
"it turned something magical into something boring" the story of EVERY single live action Disney remake
"144,522 newtons per second" is a bit like saying my bathroom scale reads 180 pounds every second that I'm standing on it. Technically true but a little weird.
a wild Cody appears
I think he just used that bc it means they keep experiancing that force continuously every second. Idk man science can be pretty weird.
Ok but you're not applying 180 extra pounds per second that you're on the scale
Ya, once you reach that speed you are no longer accelerating therefore you won't be reaching that force, you would remain in force equilibrium until you speed or slow again...
144,000 N is about 31,000 pounds. "Newtons per second" is the worst science mistake I've seen him make. Units of newton's are already mass times acceleration which is kg times meters per second per second. Putting another per seconds in there doesn't make sense. Also, they could have traveled west all night to get >12 more hours of night to get to China.
I always assumed that Genie used some sort of magic to warp reality to shorten the distance of the flight and to keep them alive at that altitude.
I guess he added some level of protection to Aladdin so he wouldn't be killed like that. Obviously Jaffar almost killed him, but that was far more direct and no amount of bending reality would have saved him, besides Genie's direct interference.
Maybe the magic carpet produces some kind of force field
Or, you know, the _fictional world_ has _fictional_ laws of physics, making Mat's whole analysis moot.
@Lucky10279 we are ignoring the 'magic' part of this magic carpet ride
this, or that the cities they saw were illusions
I love how he's going over the logistics of how flying so fast, and flying so high up, would threaten their health... while basically ignoring the fact that they are riding a _magic carpet_ that realistically shouldn't exist let alone hold their weight midair.
So true!😂
So what your saying is the magic carpet's magic could have protected them from the freezing cold conditions up there? Or is it something else? And, matpat overanalyzes everything regardless of if it could realistically exist or not. Just saying. Please don't take this the wrong way
@@Rayoflight64 I know matpat overanalyzes everything, its just funny.
@@lasercraft32 oh yeah. I just watch it for the SCIENCE and PHYSICS breakdown. I don't realize it couldn't realistically happen until I see a comment like that one.
Very true
I haven't actually seen the live action version, but to be fair to it's version of A Whole New World, Jasmine was kept fairly sheltered to the point where she'd have to sneak out to see just the area's around the palace. For her, being able to see a bunch of the relatively local things she's never gotten to see in her homeland before _WOULD_ be magical.
I wholeheartedly agree, and it made a lot of sense in the context of what Jasmine becomes by the end of the film. I recommend the live action version. Some minor bits surpass the original, such as the Sultan not being a bumbling idiot, Iago being less annoying and Aladdin apologising for his lies instead of trying to justify them ("I tried to tell you").
@@JB-mk3owPersonally, I think that the live action makes more sense and answers some questions in some bits like why was genie still blue and able to do... genie things like float or fly even when Aladdin set him free in the animated movie and what happened to the genie afterwards
There isn't much competition, but it's my favourite of the live action remakes.
I like live action jasmine more than the cartoon. She has some soul
@@Nacho28133
They also kept and expanded upon the intended original ending for the genie, according to many involved.
I have a theory that the magic carpet wasn't just travelling, it's teleportation of some kind.
During the moments between frames and scenes we could assume that the carpet teleported to another location in a blink, because they're above clouds most of the time, it'd be hard to spot the differences, allowing them to jump their way across the world like a sci-fi movie.
Not to mention the song they are singing doesn't cut, so what is shown is in real time
It was said that this story was Chinese in origin. Considering another famous Chinese mythical figure, the Monkey King from Journey to the West, has a nimbus cloud that could travel 108 thousand miles in a single flip, the magic carpet being imbued with similar traveling abilities isn't beyond imagination. There is also a form of mystical arts where long distances are shrunk into mere inches, so taking a couple of normal steps would put you hundreds or thousands of miles from where you started. Also an ability that can be imbued into the carpet and activated at will.
Or the carpet like a Tardis has a bubble of protection around it
Literally what I commented, and I didn't see this comment before. I bet a lot of people have this theory.
@@KRoseCarolcould be both
Shoutout to MatPat and his editors who always remember to include metric measurements in this kind of videos for us non-U.S. viewers. You're the best
Seriously one of the best things a channel of this nature can do. Rest assured its appreciated greatly by the cowboys as well (even if we throw the odd elbow).
Considering this is aviation he's takking about, the international standard is actually feet of altitude and (nautical) miles of distance.
@@nicholasscott3287 What's even more confusing is that a nautical mile is not the same as a regular mile. It's 200 m longer. I think we're better off with meters.
He used only feet for the altitude tho, so nah not this one even tho he always uses Celsius!
still too hand to understand, lets use bananas for scale for me
i'm sick and i felt like some nostalgia, so i clicked on this video. i feel like a 9 year old again. matpat, you were my childhood. your disney theories were always so entertaining, and although nowadays i more tend to watch the star wars and marvel videos, if any at all, this channel will always have a place in my heart.
I actually don´t see much flaws on this theory the only possible way i can think of is that the magic carpet not only is magic and sentient, but creates some sort of magic windshield that would prevent them from breaking everything with that amount of forces applied to a human body, enjoy the content as always you brighten my work days thanks Mat Pat
Kind of like a magic carpet version of what The Flash does.
Normally, anyone moving at speeds even close to what The Flash moves would be ripped to shreds. To get around this, DC hand-waves in some "protective field" that keeps him safe and not burning up from the friction. Flash can even extend this so he can carry people to safety without them turning into piles of smoldering ash.
So maybe carpet has its own protective field. It doesn't stop everything - since they still obviously feel a breeze - but it keeps it far below lethal levels.
THE CARPET HAS THE SPEED FORCE!
reminds me of that space adventure movie in the 80s where the kid invented a way his computer made a closed bubble and explained inside there is no inertia. He could have the bubble move in any direction and accelerate as fast as he wants and inside will feel no movement, nothing. In fact the kids have to bring Oxygen inside to be able to breath and a battery inside to power the computer that is creating this bubble. light can pass through it, nothing else. He programmed the bubble big enough to fit a hand thrown together space craft out of an amusement park ride and took an adventure to space in it.
I was coming to the comments to say this. The movie sets the precedent that the magic carpet affords itself and others some form of magical protection. Otherwise they're all dead in the Cave of Wonders at the beginning. If the lava/magma is hot enough to melt metal and gems, they should have all burned up.
Bro should join team theorists 🔥 🔥 🔥
"Sometimes you need a bit of magic" indeed because this theory really hinges on Genie not making use of his magic to actually protect Jasmine and Aladdin from how it would've killed them realistically
Yeah but the "magic" carpet probably has its own power to protect the riders.
@@urahara64360Yep
@@urahara64360 Huh, forgot to account for that. Yeah... but still, basically ANY mention of potential magic (whether from the genie, the carpet, whatever) has to be omitted for this theory to be correct
@@zerodiversion4509 i would say this just to show how absurd to have a flying carpet as mode of transport even in the case with magic. Imagine the need to put all those enchantment to make it work in the 1st place
@@KPX01 Makes you wonder about the Cave of Wonders then and why the Carpet was found there to begin with
If its a magic carpet created specifically for flying, probably by so sort of wizard, it's probably got a physics-proof magical forcefield. At least, I'd definitely put one of those on my flying carpet
Everyone needs to physics proof everything with magic. Life would be so easy if we didn’t have to care about physical limitations.
a magical force field could be a solution for that, but the movie itself didn't show any evidence of that, during the ride they touch the clouds and the wind clearly have an effect in their clothes. Also, when Aladdin is escaping the Cave of Wonders, a big rock hit them and there was no force field to protect them.
@@luisoncpp I mean, the force field could just protect them to not be affected by the speed and environment and reduce it to like what they used to on land
Operative word is definitely: Magic. Even Matt states as much. Was not a Science Carpet Ride.
I actually support your comment here, but there's a twist to it. See if you watch Aladdin again, you'll notice that the time period of the movie is a dystopian future, where the civilization took a reset. There wasn't a wizard who created the carpet, but instead a scientist. The evidence actually lies in the movie itself, based on the items Genie shows to Aladdin in their first meet. The carpet is a proof that human civilization was at their prime, before the reset happened.
Obviously, the “Whole New World” sequence was actually a montage of several dates that took place over many different nights during which Aladdin and Jasmine sang the same song together multiple times.
They're the kind of people who never get bored of a song. No matter what.
lol! probably too much for the movie to include but they probably had an entire travel schedule for that first year they started dating :)
Well that doesn't change the fact that they froze to death already so..
Where's your evidence, if its that obvious? Because they never mention the passage of time, and it seems to be framed as taking place in 1 night.
@@masedaace5473 Just a joke.
I’ve always liked to think they had a magic barrier protecting them from the elements. That also means they could go as fast as they wanted without having to worry about G-force or insane speeds.
Like from the end of the world where it's nothing but freezing cold to Agrabah in an hour?
Could easily be proven or disproved by seeing if hair moves while they're flying
Also, we have the possibility that they were teleporting cuz magic.
One could argue that this is a selective magic barrier. That would also explain the 15:24 scene: they're upside down with no seat belts and not falling.
came here to reply to this comment. It was a "magic" carpet and my assumption is that magic > physics. In addition to the magical barrier, it probably had magical restraints and maybe, just maybe, it could magically de-particale-ize them during the boring portions of transit. Under this scenario, the story could've played out as is!
I always figured that carpet was enchanted with the ability to magically shield the riders from any force generated from the flight. This would allow the couple to ignore wind shear, O2 deprivation and freezing temps so they could enjoy their flight. Anything is possible when you are dealing with a sentient magic carpet right?
If it flys using negative gravitons than it wouldn't even need an enchantment for that.
no
thats because the carpet isnt magic. flying carpets come from the stories of king solomon where he commands the wind and can make it carry him (on his carpet)
@@Invictus_00 interesting...
Exactly that could be possible
Carpet is a sentient, magical rug. It knows how to protect it's passengers.
Everyone needs a friend like Carpet.
The magic part of the carpet is the ability to fly, not protect its passengers from the surrounding. There a scene where Jasmine was touching clouds with her hands which proves the point
@@ViolentCabbage-ym7ko
Are the clouds harming Jasmine? No. So it doesn't prove the point.
In fantasy and scifi, barriers protect its user while allowing the user to breath and hear. Oxygen and sound are usually not considered harmful to the user and pass right through the shield. The shield still protects the user.
Carpet's magic could protect them while still allowing them to interact with the environment.
@@k9commander You can't have a magic barrier that protects its user from its surrounding while being able to touch the surrounding. Like how does that even work?
@@k9commanderSure, if you can prove Disney considered this when making the movie
Yes, Magic is magic hence it would defy science, and sadly the likes of theories or theorists.
Ok let’s cut short. Plot twist, everyone in Aladdin are aliens! But hey, that’s just a theory, a game theory! Thanks for watching
Theory: If it exists, then MatPat will make a theory out of it no matter if it's for children, adults, horror or comedy; this man sees ALL the lore.
Mhm!
rule 34: if it exists theres a matpat theory on it
Rule 69
Rule thoery four:
Your theory has turned out to be true
Can we just take a moment and appreciate how much of a G Carpet is? He found a thieving street rat and monkey and helped them on their adventure, saving them multiple times from certain death, transporting them across large distances, and even acted as Aladdin’s literal wingman in winning Jasmine’s heart. In terms of Disney friends of the main character, is there anybody else who’s even better?
Wall-E
there's a reason why Jafar *traps* Genie and Abu when fighting Aladdin at the end, but *outright disintegrates* Carpet into a thread ball.
@@bcn1gh7h4wkhe knew Carpet was too good of a character to be alive(even though he lived at the end)
that cat that likes to sing along with that song or a melodramatically sad golden retriever.
That means the *magic* carpet also provides some kind of force field to protect its occupants from wind, temperature, and pressure loss.
That logic means he can't milk a video.
Next vid will be them not surviving because as we can see the characters don't have nostrils drawn.
To be fair i used to love these type of videos when I was 15
@@benladd4791 How many years ago was that?
Now that raises the same question for another classic Disney film. How fast was Cinderella’s getaway from the Palace before the clock struck midnight? It’s a large area to cover in a small span of time to get back home.
Not to mention she had to beat her stepsisters to the house.
I deeply appreciate this episode because even as a kid I couldn't figure out how they would get to all those places so quickly
Magic. The carpet can fly underwater too. FYI.
@@davidbeppler3032 - That makes me wonder since the Genie befriended the carpet, his magic is probably the reason why they survived on the carpet and how fast they reach the places without death. 🤔
This reminds be of his old videos. The editing, the funny jokes, it’s all so amazing. I love his Disney theories
All that was missing was the og intro
I agree, and with the quote on
15:29
It was very enjoyable to see a theory similar to the ones that got me (and perhaps you) into his videos.
Right? It felt nostalgic
@@dabatman5187 I very much agree
Yea he should make more Disney theories, there's *plenty* of material fr
Another simple explanation, all those scenes weren’t in one night, were instead a condensing montage of several nights doing each of those trips separately edited into a manner that seems like a single outing. Kinda makes their relationship more believable too if your not falling in love after one date.
I think u nailed it
Matt forgot one thing... It's a magic carpet they specifically say magic carpet not flying carpet.
The problem with Belle being accused of Stockholm Syndrome is that neither she, the Beast, or the guests take the whole prisoner thing very seriously. She’s allowed to go anywhere she wants in the castle (except the West Wing), nobody stops her when she’s scared away, she actively makes the choice to save the Beast, and the Beast makes the choice to free her once she discovers her father is in danger. Again, the Beast really does learn to love her, and demonstrates this BY FREEING her! He learns to see her for who she is, and to respect her needs and wants!
Stockholm Syndrome also isn't real. At all. The actual case from Stockholm was clearly a case of the perp being pushed to his limits and the prisoners recognizing that and having sympathy for him.
‘freeing’
The point of Stockholm Syndrome is being held captive against your will. Doesn't matter if she was allowed to wander most of the castle, the point is she was FORCED to be in the castle.
Also, they kind of guilt tripped her into loving the beast- and even if they didn't, Stockholm Syndrome makes you love your kidnapper and make you believe you need to serve them.
Well… technically she made a deal with the Beast to switch places with her father. But you do make a good point about her being forced to stay there. What I find interesting is how the further the film goes, the less Belle AND the Beast take the prisoner sentence seriously, and begin seeing each other more as people 😊
@@TasiiWritesit has a lot to do with mental abuse and conditioning, though, not cabin fever.
BRO I kid you not I theorized this over 3 years ago because I said to myself “how fast did they go across the world for it to still be night time at the kingdom.” And the fact you posted about it makes me so freaking happy man. Thanks you so much for showing people that this makes no sense.
🤥🤥
@@Rusty84CVBro Hes Probably Telling The Truth This Is A Thing That Isnt Too Farfetched To Think About
When I first watched Aladin as a kid, I knew something like this seem way too Farfetched. I could understand them going to Cairo then Greece since it's closer, but China? What is that carpet? A Blackbird jet?!
@@marksilao6145 most of the math I found that was similar to the video was on some websites
MatPat didn't mention anything about how those speeds would *_SHRED_* the carpet to rivulets and tassels.
Obviously, the carpet is doused with enchanting magicka.
HEY MATPAT!! You should do a theory about the humans from The Good Dinosaur! Or really anything from that movie, its so under appreciated
my biggest issue is in the first two minutes of this video. Ariel did NOT give away her voice for a man she didn’t know. she always had a love for the human world and always wanted to leave the ocean, to have two legs, to walk on land! she sings "Part of Your World" BEFORE she meets Eric.
Eric was only the pushing point for her to go and actually do something about it.
My biggest issue within the first two minutes was him saying Belle had Stockholm Syndrome. There are multiple videos out there that go in depth about how she DID NOT have that.
You can already tell this is going to be an instant MatPat classic
No it’s not bot
@@yetekt6953 wait did I miss something when did everyone in the comments become bots-I TAKE ONE LITTLE BREAK AND EVERYONE'S BEING REPLACED???
It's an animated movie, the writers and animators absolutely didn't put a single lick of thought about keeping this accurate. He's analyzing an orange and saying that it's not an apple. There's got to be better topics to cover OTL
@@yetekt6953I’m not a bot 😂
@@Lablover73 The reason they thought that is that the comment was really generic and had nothing to do with this video (as in it could've been said on almost any of his videos)...
Film Theory idea; How big would Dumbo the flying elephant's ears need to be so he could actually fly? And how big would they need to be when he is an adult? And would it even be possible, considering the mass of an elephant.
This!😮
-Your campy animation is always awesome. I especially enjoyed 13:51 of this video.
-Speaking of magic, Magic Carpet could use its magic (or Genie could have helped supply it, as a courtesy) to pressurize the air directly above the carpet during the ride. Their own bubble of atmosphere with heat and oxygen, comparable to Agrabah's elevation and season. It's not a bad theory. The bubble could have included a pause or slowing of time. Because they were not moving that fast, yet they were traveling far. Maybe it is the same way Santa goes all around the world in one night. A time warp/freeze of some sort.
It's not just a "flying" carpet, it's a MAGIC carpet. It's also sentient.
An idea for MatPat : can you actually survive snakes on a plane?
My mind is blown
Absolutely. As long as they’re safely in cages.
@@HurricaneDDragon👹
As long as they're not the Monkey Fighting variety when your plane is a Monday to Friday one.
“Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?”
6:11 Fun fact, In a deleted scene of the movie, the Merchant is revealed to be the Genie in disguise. This makes sense because not only is he the only other character to be voiced by the late great Robin Williams, but he’s also the only other character with four fingers on each hand instead of five.
Didn't see that but I just assumed it was the Genie.
In Starkid, they show that it's Aladdin who has turned into an elderly desperate grifter...
Ever since matpat had his son, his dad jokes have been becoming stronger.
MatPat, to quote Linkara from the 4th wall:
"Its magic, they don't HAVE to explain it" they're magically protected while on the carpet, so scientifically you're right they'd die but its a movie with magic so they don't.
I thought about this ages ago, and the solution was easy. Carpet is magical, and his magic lets him fly at those extreme speeds, while also protecting & shielding him & his passengers from all the effects. He could've practically taken them to space and they wouldn't have even gotten cold. (Although falling off of him still would've been a death sentence.)
It is still interesting to see the physics and such of it all as a way of confirming that Carpet had to have such enchantments
@@homerman76 Agreed.
It's possible that Jasmine insisted on being taken home long before it became too unpleasant, and also Genie could've been opening wormholes
That's what my thought was. Genie was definitely playing with the time and space
Matt its now october and we need horror, YOU MUST AND I MEAN MUST DO THE SMILE TAPES
Correction for 12:16. The stars would not have been that visible only eight minutes after sunset. A sky that dark would have taken about an hour. So at the earliest, Aladdin and Jasmine would have left Agrabah at six thirty.
Only matpat could take a scientific perspective on the magic carpet and turn it into a critique on Disney live action remakes
I miss “The Science …” segments, this feels like a theory the should’ve been narrated by Austin 😢
@@therussianprincess7036Austin is doing his own thing in his own channel, he and mat had different visions for what was desired and what was working or not working, so the splitting was healthy, just like with gaijin goomba.
But this would have been right up austin's alley for sure.
Agreed and honestly he spoke all facts. The remakes feel lifeless compared to their animated predecessors because they’re trying to make these fantastical stories realistic
@@andresf.7563when did that happen?
@@an-animal-lover Austin Made a video about it in his channel
One minor correction. Aladdin, without even realizing it, phrased his request "make me a prince". Not "make me LOOK LIKE a prince". Genie does consider this a wish as when he brings up the count at other times, it's already counted. So, Aladdin is a prince. Phenomenal cosmic power may not change Aladdin's memories, but it very well may have changed his lineage given it's ability to not only warp space, but also time.
Why change his lineage? Just... make him a prince the same way everyone else was. Conquer some land, and he's the ruler of it. Prince until coronation date. I presume Genie just needed to hand Aladdin the equivalent of a deed.
@@JamesJNothingIsTooSensitive The only reason I went with a change in lineage was because of what Matpat said about it. I'm sure Genie could have just made Aladdin a prince, King, or an Emperor (if Al knew about them), if he has wished it. Also also, I completely forgot in my first post that technically.. he already was a prince. Genie just kind of made him a more traditional, and publicly acceptable type of prince. The third movie confirms his lineage is already there as the Price of Thieves, lol. The Sultan never said it had to be a prince of some wonderful kingdom, or anything. Just "must be married to a prince". So that's an extra point for Al 😁
@@JamesJNothingIsTooSensitive Or... To become a prince, you also have to marry a princess, and Genie certainly helps to open that gateway. The Genie may not be able to force anyone to fall in love with Aladdin, but he does try to guide Aladdin to his heart's true desire by granting his wish to become a Prince, and giving him crucial advice for dating Jasmine.
film theory idea: how long would the the bad guys ACTUALLY be in jail/what are the fines they would have to pay or any other punishment they'd have to endure?
I thought this would be about the fact that the carpet doesn't have seatbelts, and if you've felt how soft the average carpet is, you would've slipped right off
That’s a very valid point.
But here is a key point for this scene: the carpet is literally magic.
Wouldn't the lava carpet ride earlier on have killed Al anyway? That heat and lack of distance would melted the flesh off his bones. Hence MAGIC carpet, clearly puts a protective field around the user, and likely teleports to an extent.
15:30 Therapist: Ottoman Matpat doesnt exist
Ottoman Matpat:
Hilarious to imagine some genie-magic keeping Aladdin and Jasmine from dying, but still being absolutely PLASTERED to the carpet and not being able to get a word out because the entire time they’re just being bombarded by wind
Seeing Matt talk about the altitude thing made me laugh because I live in a city with an altitude of 2625m (8612ft). People do get woozy if they haven´t lived in such altitudes all their lives, though, so I think it´s safe to asume both Jazmin and Aladdin would´ve been real sick, but it´s just funny to me how I live in a dangerously high altitude
Uraguay or urgay?
I think especially going from Jasmine's room to that height really quickly would really make them sick too, it's not like climbing to that height slowly and taking time to rest if you get sick and need to rest a bit. 🤔
@@tails1993 yeah, a lot of people get very sick after coming here, and it isn't even that abrupt of a change compared to what Jazmine and Aladdin are exposed to on the carpet...I can just imagine them passing out while going up 💀
Howard Ashman's death really did a number on a lot of Disney music.
hypothetically, The genie could have placed a magical protective shield or barrier around their bodies so they wouldn't feel the pressure nor get hurt
The most logical solution would be to have them both hallucinate those things, since it would be important for the djin to keep the lamp-owner alive. Or maybe the djin simply kept them alive for the duration of the wishes, since Aladin could simply wish for the djin to "expeire", in retaliation for the "expiration" of Jasmine.
This is a good idea but if so then explane the seen where jasmen sees Abu
Most logical is that the MAGIC carpet protects it's passengers with MAGIC
I completely agree, @@hilosky . At most, flying above the clouds could be done for a few minutes at most, after which they would go lower, and they would be wrapped in the carpet, the carpet thermally insulating and physically protecting them from the wind. And with an average of 1g of acceleration, those 6310 km or 3920 miles between Athens and Bei Jing, which would be half one way and half the other, would be traveled in 30 (more specifically 29.61) minutes acceleating, just as much decelerating (slowing down), which means one hour one way, which means another hour the other way, so the whole back-and-forth would take no longer than 2 hours. The maximum speed reached this way would be 63,547.1 km/h or 39,486.3 mph. The speed of light is 1.07 billion km/h or 670 million mph, the speed of sound is 1,234.8 km/h or 767.269 mph, which means that the maximum speed reached would be Mach 51, or between 51 and 52 times the speed of sound.
Calculated with OmniCalculator's Acceleration Calculator given Distance Traveled.
Well, maybe the monkey is released by the owner, while both the monkey and the owner are also hallucinating, then the hallucinating monkey would hitch a ride to most of the way to Jasmine, then go the rest of the distance on foot, until they meet. It's impressive what a bit/lot of hallucination can do. Drug addicts are a good example of that,@@hmdkve .
Matpat always explains everything so well and I love the funny jokes and the videos aren’t too long or too short, giving him enough time to convince me to never eat Cheetos again. Lol
Can you make a theory on how Bruno can survive ten years hiding away in the walls in Enchanto? Seriously, it’s like a MrBeast challenge.
I mean the house Literally provides food, space, everything you need >.> Except for the things that caused him to go Literally Nuts.... Like Companionship
I mean, he did go almost insane throughout those years. The food was stolen from the kitchen and water I guess come from pipes (wait, do they even have basic piping in Encanto?) or collected outside from the rain or just the kitchen again. It's definitely feasible, but definitely not pleasant...

@@X-SPONGED Except that he didn't have to take it, the house literally did that for him >.> remember the house is alive, knows he's there, and it likes to help
Sorry, we don't talk about Bruno.
I just figured they made the occasional stop for food and/or a bathroom break, and the film just skipped over those moments and fast forwarded to fit the time frame of the song.
I have the same problem with this as with every theory involving a magic item - it’s MAGIC. The MAGIC could protect them from all real world physics because it’s MAGIC.
Yeah, but we are just brainstorming here so eh
If that was the mentality of every magical world, this channel wouldn't exist
nuh-uh
It's just for fun, he's not trying to prove some coma theory or something
@@anokartist2352 St Elsewhere? A substantial amount of that theory relies on the existence of Yoyodyne, a company that originates in a book published in 1963 (V by Thomas Pinchon), nearly two decades before St Elsewhere began (1982). This means that mentions of Yoyodyne alone cannot be construed to connect a show to the Tommy Westphall universe.
I love how MatPat just skips over the most unbelievable part; that this all happened on a sentient magical flying carpet. If you're willing to accept that the rest isn't that much of a stretch. lol
no
Like we’re seriously questioning this when it takes place in a world with LITERAL MAGIC AND GENIES.
What if the carpet just teleports?
Maybe the carpet has *magical* properties that lets the riders be comfortable as they're on the thing?
You mean as though it's a magic carpet, not your typical flying carpet? Interesting theory.
14:24 matpat makes me instinctively imagine them like this
I love the final message here. Sometimes, magic is enough.
Considering that Genie actively encouraged Aladdin to use his first 2 wishes before freeing him, and even bent the rules by using one of those wishes on his behalf to save his life, idk how amoral that particular action is. The deception of Jasmine, though, that's 100% on him.
Personally I’ve always liked to imagine the fireworks they saw were the finale of Mulan
You just made me realise that the setup looks exactly the same. Also when they went to visit Greece there’s the Cupid statue that kinda looks like the one that hit Megaras back in Hercules (it’s probably not but I’d like to imagine)
i think matpat forgot the key word "magic" in magic flying carpet
It’s a *magic* carpet, I’d figure it carries with it a bubble of air, and/or an air cushion ahead of it to keep it’s riders safe. It was created as a means of swift transport, if it kills it’s riders it’s useless to have even created it… I’m usually all-in on the theories, but you simply can not apply real-world physics to magical items or worlds.
The Magic carpet works as some sort of Time machine of sorts. He's moving around in different time zones while still remaining in night time.
God this feels like a throwback to mats old theories. Good to see it.
matpat's dad jokes are getting stronger 🤣🤣
A good portion of Disney's films (especially the original films) were essentially upbeat takes on horror and tragedies from Grimm's Fairy Tales, so I'm betting dying would have been the least of his worries.
I love this theory. This is some classic MatPat stuff.
12:58 Wow. That's fast. Even faster than me on my scooter.
Matpat - the live action remake took away the magic
Also matpat- ruining childhoods since 2011
Did anyone think maybe genie created the different landmarks in the desert to make it look like they traveled the world. Genie created something similar to a amusement park ride with landmarks from different countries. you can see in the song friend like me his potential to create things without a wish being made. he also impersonates and italian so he knows a lot
Thanks matpat for making amazing content for everyone
except Disney 💀
you really need to bump up your standards. This is FAR from amazing. Its complete slop!
@@Derxeowhat does this mean?
Matthew destroys my childhood with each video bit by bit 😂😂😂
15:00 acceleration would still kill em
11:35 I can't be the only one who laughed really hard at the faces right?
LOL no 😭😂🤣😂🤣😂
Its nice that even matpat can tell disney hasnt been doing well
MatPat: No one can travel that far in one night.
Santa: Hold my beer.
Santa: hold my cookies and milk
Very nice. I feel like we don't get enough MatPat videos these days that analyze the physics and whatnot of games and film. Makes me really miss Austin. 💔
0:35 WHOOPSIEEEE
I feel this is a good part of a larger theory, which states that the entire movie is a story by the merchant at the beginning to get you to buy the lamp, thus making the impossible things that happen just made up details by said merchant for effect.
Who knew that a movie with genies and magic carpets was unrealistic
15:29 I wasn't expecting him to drop this deep quote
Matpat logic applying science to a “magic carpet” and I’m all here for it
Disney: Makes a classic movie that will remain a favorite for generations
Matpat: Repeatedly turns them into nightmares.
Every time i've read about a magic carpet it always includes at the minimum sticky seating and wind resistance. Looks like this carpet allows some wind to flow but not much as Jasmine's hair and aladdin's cape are rarely billowing.
A djinn would absolutely give you an aircraft that isn’t pressurized or immune to g-forces. Very on-brand
Mat is a lore master! Dude mat can solve anything! If Disney watching mat then they are probably scared if he is gonna ruined their movies, just like how my childhood is ruined by mat’s videos… over all your videos are amazing and you and the team have made such amazing and entertaining content!!! Keep up the good work❤
I don’t think Disney needs Matpat’s services to ruin their movies…
I love all your thoughts about the physics of flying ... on a MAGIC CARPET 😂 I guess if we can suspend our disbelief about flying carpets, we can assume that magic protected them from all the negative effects of flying on a magic carpet.
Yea😂
13:52 my brother broke his femur :), which is a shame,
I wanted to be the first person to break his bones
Please do an episode on how Disney Pocahontas isn’t the real story and let everyone know the REAL story of Pocahontas and the Powhatan Tribe!
I just like to think that there is some sort of magical force field surrounding them and the magic carpet in the animated version, and that's how they survived.
Yep. Two words: Genie Forcefield
matpat is coming for our childhood again and I'm here for it
Yep it always happens
And you’re coming for matpat
Yess I really missed him ruining my whole childhood
that’s his job
How do we know they were only gone for one day? Jasmine's dad was a very easily manipulated man, and Jafar did say he had Aladdin "executed" (even tho he failed) for kidnapping the princess. But by that point, logically only jasmine should have known about the marketplace stuff. So the kidnapping charge could've been for her disappearing for several days on that date of theirs.
I don't remember the scene word for word though.
Edit: the execution thing I'm thinking of was earlier in the movie. Later in the movie he said Prince Ali left and then Aladdin said check your crystal ball you tried to have me murdered. But that still doesn't answer the how do we know they were only gone one night.
i never thought about this until now, but it's kinda fitting that one of their destinations on the magic carpet ride was in China--the original _Arabian Nights_ story of Aladdin was actually explicitly SET in China (it's not especially authentic, though--it's basically given as just another Middle Eastern country with a sultan and everything, so i'm convinced that "China" is being used as a synonym for "very very very far away" in the story)
Me before watching this video: There’s nothing Matpat can say that will ruin my childhood!
Matpat: Hippity, hoppity, your childhood has been ruined by my Theory
My prediction theory: he's gonna say it'd be G forces and that the human body can't survive it,ignoring the fact it's literally MAGIC
Edit: well,I was right but I will say I like how he turned it into a point about how realism isn't always better
I believe that the Magic Carpet had an unseen magical barrier that kept Aladdin & Jasmine from being harmed in the ling voyages.
eactly transparent pressure hull.. and it have powerfull wets, that is why the hair is moving around. Its not the wind, just the vents.
When I was a child, I always thought that the "A Whole New World" song took place over several days and that the carpet was magical so it could, of course, teleport them to anywhere in the world in a second. Because they couldn't visit all these places in one night unless they had some magical help.
