Aladdin Plot

Jafar, the Royal Vizier of Agrabah, is searching for a genie’s lamp with the Cave of Wonders with his parrot Iago, but are unable to enter. They need to find a ‘diamond in the rough’ and Jafar identifies that person as a street urchin named Aladdin. Meanwhile, Princess Jasmine is unhappy because she’s been told she must marry a prince even if she does not love him. She meets Aladdin and his pet, Abu, on the street and they become friends. Aladdin is captured by Jafar and ordered executed; Jasmine demands that he be freed, but Jafar says it is too late. He is already dead. Jafar then disguises himself, frees Aladdin and takes them to the cave, where he tells them to bring him the lamp.

Abu touches and jewel, after being told to touch nothing but the lamp, and the cave begins to collapse. Aladdin and Abu manage to escape, thanks to a flying carpet, and Aladdin gives Jafar the lamp. Jafar sends them back into the collapsing cave, but Abu grabs the lamp. Trapped in the cave, Aladdin rubs the lamp and the Genie appears to grant him three wishes.

Wanting to keep as many wishes as he can, Aladdin tricks Genie into getting them out of the cave without using a wish. Then, he uses his first wish to assume the identity of a prince so he can woo Jasmine. He promises to save his last wish for Genie, to free him. Meanwhile, Jafar is already plotting to marry Jasmine but the arrival of a new prince – Aladdin in disguise – hampers his plans. Aladdin takes Jasmine, who doesn’t recognize him as the street urchin – on a magic carpet ride around the world.

She finally does recognize him but he fibs and tells her that he dresses as an urchin to escape the confines of royal life. Back home, Jafar has Aladdin arrested. Genie guesses that Aladdin would want to be rescued and decides this will be his second wish and rescues him. Aladdin returns to the palace to expose Jafar, who runs when he realizes who Aladdin is and that he has the lamp.

Aladdin breaks his promise to Genie because he is afraid he will lose Jasmine if she learns he isn’t a prince. Iago steals the lamp, allowing Jafar to become Genie’s new master. He first wishes to be Sultan and then to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world and Genie is forced to grant his wishes. Jafar exposes Aladdin’s secret and exiles him, the carpet, and Abu to the wasteland, but Aladdin tricks him into using his last wish by saying he isn’t as powerful as Genie.

Jafar uses his third wish to become a Genie so that he’ll be more powerful than Genie, not realizing that this will bind him to the lamp. Aladdin traps Jafar and Iago in the lamp. Genie banishes Jafar’s lamp and suggests that Aladdin use his final wish to remain a prince. Aladdin keeps his promise, though, and grants Genie his freedom.

The Sultan sees Aladdin’s act and decides to change the law so that Jasmine can marry whomever she wants, even if the man isn’t a prince. Genie leaves Agrabah to explore the world. Aladdin and Jasmine live happily ever after.

Aladdin Trivia: 5 Fast Facts

One of Disney’s biggest hits, and part of the Disney Renaissance, Aladdin has been a family favorite for nearly twenty years. Here are five things you may not know about the film.

Aladdin Prequel Nixed Without Williams

Wanting to capitalize on their hit, Disney began working on a live-action prequel, centering on the character Genie. They had about sixteen hours of unused footage from all of the ad-libbing done by Robin Williams in the original role. Williams’ will, however, wouldn’t allow for the company to use any of his likeness – which includes that additional footage – for 25 years after his death. Soon after Willaims’ death, Disney aired Aladdin on three of their channels, with a special image that read, “In memory of Robin Williams, who made us laugh”; the artwork on the image was done by animator Eric Goldberg.

Aladdin Proposed On Flying Carpet?

Several times in the film, Aladdin tosses an apple to Jasmine. One of those times happens when the two are on the flying carpet over Greece. In ancient Greece, a man tossing an apple to a woman was considered a proposal of marriage. So, did Aladdin inadvertently propose to Jasmine on the flying carpet? You have to decide.

Disney Uses 3-D CGI With Traditional Animation

As with Beauty and the Beast from the year before, animators created 3-D CGI, moving backgrounds for Aladdin along with more traditional character animation in 2-D. This led to Disney’s new ‘Deep Canvas’ technique, which allowed for 2-D hand drawings to ‘exist seamlessly’ in a 3-D environment.

Disney’s Black Friday

At the time, the head of Disney was Jeffrey Katzenberg; at one point he was so dissatisfied with the project that he told the animators to scrap everything and start over. The only problem is that he refused to also move the release date of the film. The crew worked hard and turned around a new script and plot within eight days, but that situation is still referred to as Black Friday by the animators.

Disney ‘tells’ audience to applaud

During the initial screenings of the film, the audience didn’t applaud after the musical numbers. The animators wanted applause and so, as a joke, they inserted Genie’s ‘applause’ sign at the end of Friend Like Me. The audience applauded and the animators left the sign in for the actual release.
