Glen Keane rectified the issue, making Aladdin a tad more muscular, with broader shoulders, and more defined features. Fox, but should instead be along the lines of Tom Cruise, in terms of appearance. Katzenberg saw the early versions of Aladdin to be along the lines of Michael J.
Though directors Ron Clements and John Musker enjoyed the idea, executive producer, Jeffrey Katzenberg did not, feeling the romantic relationship between a meek Aladdin and the beautiful Princess Jasmine would come off as unrealistic, as Jasmine wouldn't find herself physically attracted to that portrayal of Aladdin. In addition, he claimed that typical Disney films have a sort of class system with their characters, such as the cartoonish sidekicks, the dramatic villains, the beautiful heroines, and the boring 'Prince Charming'-type heroes that 'nobody ever wanted to animate'.
The idea was brought upon by animator Glen Keane, who believed Aladdin, the lead of an underdog story should have a more meager, vulnerable appearance to match his role in the film's narrative. In the earliest stages of the story, Aladdin was portrayed as a much younger character - a boy, as opposed to a young man.
