The relationship of an old evil vizier and his eviler talking parrot was the most brilliant thing of the 90’s. The soul of the original film, apart from the Genie, resided in two awesome characters – Jafar and Iago. I know, I know, I promised I wouldn’t complain.
#Aladdin old guy in cave movie
The movie simply lacked that evil awesomeness. It is for this that he uses his powers of the staff, and Jasmine interrupts him. The 2019 film additionally shows Jafar to want to go to war with Shirabad (the neighbouring kingdom) as he wants Agrabah to become an empire. We’re also introduced to Iago, the evil parrot who shows us how a parrot can be pure, unadulterated evil, whose master plan is to stuff crackers down the Sultan’s throat. In the Animation, we are shown Jafar using the powers of his staff to get to the Sultan’s ring so he can locate The Diamond In The Rough. The Original Animation had a small, cuddly, teddy bear of a Sultan while the Live Action has, well, a regular Sultan person. The song that follows, Riff Raff, is pretty much the same. In the Live Action film, we have a different prince, Anders, who makes his way to the palace. You were born a street rat, you’ll die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you”. It is he who tells Aladdin – “You are a worthless street rat. The Original Animation shows a Prince Achmed making his way to the palace. In the 1992 movie, Abu doesn’t steal anything from Jasmine. Jasmine mistakes Aladdin to be the thief, and he plans to break into the palace to return the Bracelet. Abu Steals The BraceletĪpart from being told about the dead Queen and the Bracelet, the 2019 movie also sees Abu stealing it. Aladdin doesn’t get to know she’s a princess at this point, he believes he’s talking to the princess’ handmaiden (Dalia). In the Live Action, a prince is shown making his way to the castle, and Jasmine leaves in a hurry. Aladdin is caught, and Jasmine discloses that she is the princess. When the guards locate Aladdin’s safe house in the Original Animation, the two make a run for it. Both Aladdin and Jasmine talk about being Trapped as that is the central theme of the film. In the Animation, it’s merely because she’s royalty. In the Live Action, we are told that the Queen (Jasmine’s mother) had been killed and this is the reason Jasmine is kept locked up and protected. Pole VaultĪladdin needs to coax Jasmine to use the pole to jump in the Live Action film while in the Original Animation Jasmine surprises Aladdin by leaping over him as he’s preparing a plank for her to walk on. In the Live Action, Aladdin simply says “Trust Me” as he does his trick with the Bracelet whereas in the Animation he asks Jasmine “Do you trust me?” much later when they jump down to the streets. Jasmine plays along pretty well calling a camel the doctor, and Abu the Sultan. In the 1992 film, however, Aladdin claims Jasmine to be his sister and that she’s a crazy person. Aladdin uses slight of hands to pawn Jasmine’s Bracelet as they escape. In the 2019 movie, he saves Jasmine first, and the song happens as they run from the guards. The song is Aladdin’s opening in the Original Animation, where he’s just stolen bread. In the Animated film, Aladdin steals bread which he, and a reluctant Abu, give to two hungry kids. As he sits to eat it, he notices a hungry family and gives the dates to the poor kid.
In the 2019 Aladdin, he steals a necklace and exchanges for dates. It was a good idea to do this and get straight into the main story. Through the song, we are shown a person being consumed by the Cave, much like Gazeem did in the original. The film skips Jafar locating two halves of a scarab that leads him to the Cave of Wonders. While the 1992 Aladdin opens with the song Arabian Nights straight, the movie has Will Smith singing the song, as a sailor, to his kids and then we are taken to Agrabah. We are straight away introduced to Genie as a human who is telling his kids the story of Aladdin.
The Live Action Aladdin, however, went that path. This Peddler was supposed to show up at the end of the Original film as a sailor who was once the Genie, but they didn’t take that path in the Animated film. The Original Animation of Aladdin had the voice of Robin Williams playing the role of a Peddler who is hilarious and tries to sell the audience a whole bunch of amazing handicrafts.
