References to Aladdin in Gargoyles
In "The Mirror" when Demona tells Puck to get rid of humanity, the trickster tells her it's not Aladdin's lamp to demonstrate his limits. In his ramble for the episode, Weisman mentioned that the line was an intentional reference to the Disney Afternoon series as it aired during the same time as Gargoyles. [2]
In the SLG comic series stories "Masque" and "Bash", Elisa Maza dressed up as Princess Jasmine for the 1996 Halloween party at the Eyrie Building.
Tidbits
The Aladdin episode "The Animal Kingdom" is similar to "The New Olympians" as both deal with a human character (Aladdin and Elisa) happening upon an area inhabitant by another race of sentient beings, only to be kept prisoner for fear of said human to prevent them from informing others of their existence. Both end with the human characters proving themselves, albeit in the case of Gargoyles, Elisa is seen as an exception to some of New Olympus while others (according to The New Olympians spin-off) remain fully prejudiced towards humanity. Additionally, both episodes included Michael Dorn voicing characters (Brisbane and Taurus) that are slow to trust any humans.
The Goliath Chronicles episode "Seeing Isn't Believing" had a noticeably different animation design, which included Elisa coincidentally looking more like Jasmine.
