Genie and Aladdin

Aladdin: In one scene, Genie calls Aladdin’s clothes “so 3rd century”. Genie was trapped for 10,000 years, so there is no way he could know of the fashion trends which have happened whilst he was in the lamp, which means at the latest Genie could have been trapped in the lamp during the 3rd century. If he spent 10,000 years in there, it is then at least the year 10,300 A.D. when he gets out. The conclusion is that Aladdin takes place in the future, a post-apocalyptic world where only Arabic (and some Greek) culture survived. It has been so long that the name “Arabia” has been corrupted to “Agrabah”. The Islamic religion has atrophied to the point where there are no mosques, imams or prayer mats, but people still give praise to Allah in moments of happiness. Amazing technological marvels left behind by the previous civilization, like flying carpets or genetically engineered parrots, which can comprehend human speech instead of just mimicking it, are taken for granted by locals or considered “Magic”. The Genie proves this by making impressions of ancient, long-dead celebrities like Groucho Marx, Jack Nicholson, etc.
