Doing really useful important things because deadlines are burning - ❌

Aladdin and the King of Thieves - (1996) dir. Tad Stones

[dragonsruby]

The concept of both Mozenrath and Behan being related to Aladdin in some way is so funny to me because it takes the story from “Lonely orphan with no family finds love” to “Four men are in the family and three are wanted for crimes against the government.”

It also means that Aladdin's line “I never ever had a real family” from “There’s A Party Here in Agrabah (Reprise)” reads as “I never had a real family that didn't suck.”

I think continuity wise Aladdin has the best pay off for their viewers.

First movie[1992]: the main characters meet, fall in love, and get in engaged.

Second movie [1994]: which is more so, why the main gang trust iago after he was a villain in the first movie.

Tv series[1994]: The main couple is engaged the whole time. Three whole seasons!

Third movie[1996]: They finally get married and we get to meet and learn about Aladdin's father.

We get to see the characters we've grown attached to over the years, finally tie the knot and it answers an important character's fact.

Small edit: I meant this post as in Disney Prince continuity not in general of all media, don't come for me. I can't fight.

Cassim Is A Better Executed Example Of A Deadbeat Father Who Loves His Child But It Doesn't Make Up For How They Chose Their Obsession Over Them

It's funny to make this comparison but both Cassim and Stolas are pretty the same type of description which is a father who obviously does care for his kid but has become so obsessed with his object of desire that it makes them forgo their relationship with them. With Cassim, we have a more sympathetic reason why it's because he wanted to provide a good life for them but it didn't come without a cost where his wife died in his absent and his son lived his life thinking he was an orphan. However, Stolas on the other hand had no sympathetic reason to break his family (even if the narrative portrays Stella as abusive). He did it because he cared about his own desires to have a relationship and did it at the expense of his daughter's normal life (which he said he even stayed married to his wife for).

Ultimately they are both men who put their obsession over their family and alienate themselves from their children. They even both have a fight with their children about how they keep on putting their desires before being fathers. The biggest difference is how Cassim finally comes to the realization his obsession was unhealthy and ultimately almost cost him his true treasure when Aladdin's life was almost threatened by the villain of the movie, Sa-Luk. Can't say the same thing for bird brain because all he got for Via rejecting him is that she hates "him" and not that he hurt her. He only cares again about how he's perceived by her and not how he royally fucked up everything in his life. The narrative still tries to validate and treat his obsession with Blitzo as worth it just because Blitzo will now not call him out and the fact that shipping junk food is going to pander to his fantasies.

ALADDIN BEING A HANDSOME HEARTTHROB #1

[somethingstrangeisherehehe]

From me to every member of the fandom❤️

[storyweaverofgondor]

Ok, but i love Iago's character arc over the course of the trilogy and tv series. He goes from Jafar's evil lackey to . . . technically no longer evil. He doesn't stop being greedy or lazy or selfish or pessimistic or cynical. He is still prone to seeing the worst in people and manipulating others to his own ends (tho it is more often then not a case of Iago's cynical viewpoint hitting a nerve and him exasperating the situation). The noble choice isn't his first option. It isn't even his second or third. But by the end there, if pushed hard enough, Iago would do the right thing even if it involved sacrifice. Iago did learn to care deeply about others.

I love how he was shown to have positive character growth, to go through a massive change and become a better person, but still be an extremely flawed individual.

I love how in the end he goes off with Cassim who had gone through a very similar character arc (giving up the treasure he'd spent his whole life searching for to save his son). In many ways they are two peas in a pod and they are perfect for each other.

It is a fantastic character arc and i love it so.

Animated 8: Aladdin and the King of Thieves v The Lion King 1 1/2

King of Thieves {original-Aladdin (1992)}

ARE YOU IN OR OUT?? Also Robin Williams didn't voice Genie in Return of Jafar, but he did for this one! Aladdin's dad shows up, Jasmine and Aladdin get married - good stuff all around

The Lion King 1 1/2 {original-The Lion King (1994)}

It follows Timon and his New York Jewish meerkat family. The jokes are great

It is a masterpiece that adds to the movie while making it better and not worse. The dig a tunnel song is amazing. It's cute to see snippets of them raising Simba.

Funny

Director: Hey, I wanna make an Aladdin sequel.

Disney: Absolutely not, the last one we did did terribly. AND the animation is gonna be ass.

Director: Okay okay okay, but hear me out: It's about Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding, and Aladdin is sad that his family won't be able to witness it.

Disney: Hm, it's an okay plot, you gotta do better than that.

Director: We pulled Robin Williams back in to voice the Genie!

Disney: Oh damn, everyone loves him. Anything else?

Director: Aladdin's father is alive, and is the leader of the forty thieves, and wants his son to join him-

Disney: Ooooh, that might be good-

Director: -and he's a dilf. Like, even our animators are wanting him. Here **hands a photo**

Disney:... SOLD
