                         Aladdin sound clip In the movie Aladdin, at the scene where he is on the balcony with Princes Jasime, the tiger, Rajah, pushes Aladdin against the railing and Aladdin says “C’mon good kitty. Take off and go”(Mikkelson). But others have clamed to hear it a little differently. Others have said to have heard “All good teenagers take off your clothes” (Bannon, A1). Ted Baehr, movie Guide’s publisher, decided to take the video of Aladdin to a recording studio and listen to the words in which he says that “it falls short of the charge of subliminal viewer manipulation”(Bannon, A6). Also, it is said that by listening to the audio track when Aladdin is speaking, there is a second voice in the background, two voices in two different tones. This is believed that “the overlapping voices are merely the product of bad editing, and some stray bits of chatter was accidentally grafted onto the soundtrack” (Mikkelson).
