Can anybody here have an in-universe explanation on Aladdin’s disappearance? An out-of-universe explanation would be that the animators forgot to put Aladdin at the base of the stairs, or didn’t think about it at all.
When I was really, really little, I had thought that Genie had eaten Aladdin, then turned him into the mini-Genie that walked down the stairs. Weird kid I was then, wasn’t I?
