Trivia[]
- Jiminy Cricket's segments use stock footage from You and Your Ears, This is Your Life, Donald Duck, From All of Us to All of You, I'm No Fool in Water, and You and Your Sense of Touch.
- The intro had the last couple of bars of Friend Like Me, with the title Friend Like Me appearing in Disney's Aladdin-style font, framed by blue and purple smoke, continuing into the remixed opening theme. The font is also used in Disney's Sing-Along Songs: The Twelve Days of Christmas during "He Delivers" when Huey shouts, "I believe!" The remixed opening was heard on Circle of Life, Honor to Us All, Collection of All-Time Favorites, From Hercules, 101 Notes of Fun in German, and the UK versions of Colors of the Wind and Topsy Turvy in Spanish, while the remixed closing theme was also heard on the 1993 and 1994 editions of Heigh-Ho, as well as Circle of Life, From Hercules, and Collection of All-Time Favorites.
- This is the last volume to use a song from a live-action production.
- During the song "Friend Like Me", in the main portion of the video, when the Genie sings "Can your friends pull this out their little hat?", the shot of his bunny form was replaced with a repeat take of his dragon form breathing fire and forming the three girls. This shot was corrected in the LaserDisc release, as well as the reprise in both editions.
- Known as Aladdin: Un Amigo Fiel in Spanish, released in Spain and the United States. Also known as Un Amigo Genial and Un Genio Genial.
- Known as Disney's Sing Mit Uns: Ein Traum Wird Wahr in Germany.
- Instead of Professor Owl introducing Jiminy Cricket, Jiminy Cricket just shows up at the very beginning of the program, making this the first Sing-Along Songs video in which Professor Owl does not appear.
- As was the case with Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, the 1994 print is considered the rarest and hardest to find VHS tape since very few were sold in stores.
- A 1994 Sing-Along Songs promo depicts a purple slipcover for this video, possibly a prototype. The purple slipcover was used for the Spanish-language release.
- The 1994 reprint does not have a new title card.
- The German release has the German words of "A Whole New World" (opening) and "Friend Like Me" (closing).
