Makes sense

LadyButterfly she/her
General Memes & Private ChuckleThis is dumb. They're clearly shown visiting Egypt, Greece, China, etc.
It also says "I can show you", not "I am showing you". So doesn't really require showing her everything, just the ability to do so for the song to make sense.
Now imagine several hours of uncomfortable silence between lines as Aladdin doesn't want to lose track of where he is in the song while they cross 4000 miles at Cessna speeds.
Fuck wait, how fast was that carpet going?
Your question just reminded me of this funny video where someone added realistic wind sounds to this scene:

Full Santa
Duets in Disney cartoons are sex scenes.
The "whole new world" is him taking her virginity.
Hakuna Matata...?
Carpet ride indeed
It's been a long time since i've seen it but don't they fly to other countries during the song?
The rest of the world is far away, and that carpet is not infinitely fast.
i wonder if they keep singing for the whole 8 hours flight or there's awkward 3 hours where they fly over the ocean and there's nothing to see
"Wow, it's mostly water huh?"
"...yep"
"..."
3 hours would be an extremely fast ocean transit. One of the shorter routes across the Atlantic is East Canada to Ireland, a distance of about 3000km (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transatlantic_flight), so that would be 1000kph, which is basically the upper limit of subsonic flight (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number#Classification_of_Mach_regimes).
I have serious doubts about the carpet's aerodynamic performance at that speed, and the ability of the passengers to stay aboard.
I expect that a more reasonable top speed is around 100kph, and even then the passengers are gripping the rug with all of their strength to stay alive, and there is so much noise from the air moving around them they can't possibly have any conversation. For 30 hours non-stop.
Is a magic carpet though
Historically-accurate Aladdin: He flies her to the top of Africa and back because that’s the extent of the largest maps of Earth at the time.
Wasn't that movie post apocalyptic?
In fairness she was pretty impressed by anything outside the palace.
See also that one tweet. "Pocahontas was with the colononizers while Jasmine was looking for the hood n----s. She was in the GUTTERS."
