One of the rugs the island natives are carrying in ‘Moana’ (2016) bears the same pattern as the flying carpet in ‘Aladdin’ (1992).

So the flying carpet is dead and they’re just using its corpse for picnics. Disgusting.

It's very similar, and it's definitely an intentional reference to The Magic Carpet.

But I just noticed there's a lot of differences in the pattern. Maybe it's one of his dead relatives.

TIL the rug from Aladdin has demons burning in hell on it.
