  • Disneyworld is a magical place where visitors can meet their favorite characters as they breeze around the park. They can shake hands with Mickey Mouse, take pictures with Minnie, and thanks to the alleged Aladdin Exception, get killed by the titular character of the movie Aladdin. OK, that last bit comes from an old piece of satire, but in March 2022, it started to recirculate as if it were genuine news. The confusion started on March 27 when the @Disnerds Instagram account shared an image that supposedly showed an excerpt regarding the Aladdin Exception from a Disney handbook. The website InsideTheMagic.net then published an article titled Disney Parks Aladdin Actors Are Reportedly Allowed to Kill Guests, writing: Disney does not allow its Aladdin characters to kill people (even in extreme circumstances). There is no Aladdin Exception (or Aladdin Exemption). The above-displayed screenshot originated with a satirical article that was published on Clickhole (an offshoot of The Onion) in 2015. The Clickhole article features a fictional guide for actors playing Aladdin. This humorous pamphlet suggests that actors should always stay in character. For example, since Aladdin is a street rat in the movie who occasionally steals, Clickhole writes that the actors playing Aladdin should also try to steal from guests. Clickhole labels itself as a satire site in several places. In the website's footer, for example, the site states that it uses invented names in all of its stories, except in cases where public figures are being satirized. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental. Disney's Aladdin has been subjected to a number of other rumors over the years. Here are two other rumors regarding this Disney classic that we've written about, one of which is true and the other false. Does Aladdin whisper Good teenagers, take off your clothes in the original movie? Did the extremist group Proud Boys take their name from a song in the stage musical of Aladdin? (en)
