I overheard someone discussing Aladdin with their kid. "See, the moral is that you shouldn't steal."

Like... really? THAT'S what you took away from that movie?...

(This is why we don't spell out morals for tales, people.)

The lesson I learned:

Make better wishes.

Which has paid off in D&D when having to word wishes.

Thanks Aladdin!

Or, very clearly state the rules of other people asking things of you :D

Clearly the Moral was that traditional animation is better than computer animation, or live action remakes.

I thought the moral of Aladdin was "If a dubious adult lowers you into a cave and says "hand the treasure up first, and I'll pull you out afterwards", don't believe them, they're planning to leave you in that cave to die!"

Get the cash up front!! :D

There's also an element of "children should beware strangers claiming to be friends of your parents"

because the sorcerer tells Aladdin he was close friends with Aladdin's dead father, in order to win Aladdin's trust - it's all a total lie of course

but it's very similar to how kids in the 1980s used to be warned "if an adult comes to your school and says that they're a friend of your mum/dad, and your mum/dad sent them to pick you up, ask for the password you preagreed with your parents!!!"
