Egypt is 1,596 km away from Greece in OUR world. But they're in a whole new world.

Aaaaahahahaha i must tell you, this brightened my day. Good one

I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.

88

Exactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I'm sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.

Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn't want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.

67
- This is it frodo. If i take one more step it will be the farthest from the shire ive ever been
  
  40
Now I'm just imagining in every movie or TV show if we had to watch people travel in real time to wherever they were going lol. Sounds painful.

22
- This one would be a great test of just HOW captivating David Tennant's brilliance is 😄
  
  14
- no fast travel run

So they were singing on that carpet for hours.

17
- Time moves differently during a musical number, anyway. They regularly skip forward to the next scene that can be hours or even days away.

OP has never heard of a montage

71

That's the thing where you tie each other up for sexual gratification, right? Like in that Twilight fanfic? 😛

30
- No. It's the agreement you sign with a bank when buying a house.
  
  16
- Yes
  
  11
- Wait... If you both tie each other up, how do you you get out?
  
  10
Do they think movies play in real time? What do they think when there's a scene change?

8
- The camera is jumping to an alternate reality where events happened just a little bit sooner than in the previous universe, but time is constant across universes.
  
  3
It can't be a montage if they are singing, unless we assume they skipped verses or repeated the song. Either way, I can tell you from personal experience that singing the same song for hours at a time does not make a good date

2
- my guess is that a team of people drew it and none of it actually happened...
  
  1
- They recorded the singing in post

OP forgot that the magic flying carpet is magic

57

And plot armor is the effective heat shield

18
You would think the issue of staying on it would come before the issue of heat

2

I prefer to think they sang the song over and over again on the round trip and the movie just splices it down to one time through the song.

In reality, these tortured souls rode through the frigid sky with no food or sleep for days on end with only the words of "a whole new world" to maintain their sanity. Their love was obviously forged through shared suffering.

52

Lol just imagine thinking you're going on a sweet spontaneous date only to start flying and realise you'll be getting blasted by this hurricane force wind for hours

7

Also keep in mind that they witnessed the Great Sphinx being carved- time travel was clearly being used.

48

You're such a mathematician. Saying something is real because your calculations say its real. Eventhough the evidence that's right in front of your eyes, clearly shows that they are stil alive and unscathed, they didn't even appear to have noticed the immense speed that they were traveling.

Clearly this is the work of aliens with a technology so advanced that our smooth brains can't even comprehend the math necessary to calculate it. So that explains everything, you're welcome.

44

Or they're just about 10 to 20 thousand years in the future which is why Genie can dish out so many 20th century references.

16

Uh... It's called a magic carpet for a reason.

It obviously used a protection spell on them.

40

Early versions of magic carpets kept arriving with charred piles of ash instead of passengers until they figured that one out.

6

I was going to rip on taking a cartoon too seriously, but then I remembered getting annoyed at superwhy, which is an ABCs show for toddlers. They had an episode where they landed on Saturn, and it was sandy. I had a to give my then 2 year old an impromptu lesson on what a gas giant was and that her favorite show was fucking wrong. I was so irritated that an education show would do that lol.

39

Just land on a moon of Saturn at that point.

Good parent. You can show her this instead: (mostly accurate) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MM1-lbwNJ3c

It's magic.

magick

24

A Wizard Did It.

4

Maybe they were just in Vegas the whole time.

23

I just assume that it was time dilation due to editing. The actual journey was much longer. Don't think about it too much cause then you'll start to wonder how long that song actually is, and then you'll start to question why anyone randomly breaks out into song to begin with, and how everyone seems to know the lyrics despite being complete strangers.

8
- You didn't get the message about 5pm singing practice?
  
  2
- Uhm, and where does he store his shaving utensils on that carpet? Or is he still too young to grow a beard?
  
  2

That explains why this just looked like it instantly teleported...

21

Does Dragonball have a warning about the racist caricatures like old Disney movies?

7
- No no no, he's a mystical creature that just happens to look like that.

The range on Blink is OP AF.

19

What game are we playing? I feel like i've said this while playing starcraft 2 about the tier 1 protoss ranged units (stalkers?).

2

If Neil degrassi Tyson was like this maybe he'd be a bit more tolerable

18

I like that I wasn't the only person to think of Tyson.

7
I dislike that guy so much.

2

Nah, they just did a bunch of takes for the music video.

15

You forgot to include the relativistic effects

10

In The Pick of Destiny they're 50 miles from Los Angeles when the cops try to pull them over and the song Car Chase City begins.

They arrive in LA less than one minute into the song, making their average speed over 3000 miles per hour.

Given the aerodynamic properties of a Cutlass Supreme, they are both cooked, and countless windows in LA have been shattered by the sonic boom.

(frame shift drive charging)

Slightly bigger problem is that those speeds will also rip the atmosphere a new hole, which means not just vaporised carpet and riders, but the area around them as well as the kinetic and thermal energy from phasing through the air at 6 figure speeds is imposed on the surrounding area.

9

So many Greek ruins obliterated by a careless musical number.

6

I certainly hope someone got fired for that blunder

9

It's a magic carpet.

at 1:48 they're in Agrabah, a place that doesn't exist

at 1:59 they're in Agrabah, a place that doesn't exist

Reminds me of Spy magazine's analysis of our good friend Santa Claus: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/the-physics-of-santa-and-his-reindeer/

Ptolemy: 'Am I a joke to you?'

3

Also to make him a prince wouldn't there have to be a lineage with wars won and lost families created and torn apart.

3

The most interesting part is...what constitutes "him"? What if he became a prince by having his DNA from his father replaced?

5
Aladdin's exact words were "Genie, I wish for you to make me a prince." I always assumed that that meant that the wish merely caused a compulsion in the Genie to use his "standard," non-wish-granting powers to make Aladdin as prince-like as possible. If he'd instead phrased it as "I wish to be a prince" then it would have caused reality to alter to give him a genuine royal lineage.

Yeah but what about the Parker Solar Probe?

2

That's supposed to be travelling at 153,545 mph, so not even half the speed of Aladdin and Jasmine. Also, the Parker Solar Probe is in space.

9

Well, Egypt isn't "the world", is it?

1

They didn’t leave the atmosphere for reentry to affect them

1

They didn’t leave the atmosphere

That just makes the aerodynamic heating effects worse.

3
- (which does not protect from atmospheric reentry)
  
  I know, I was mainly referencing this part, which I now realize I forgot to quote

Wonder why they wrote 145.1 that way.
