(Imagine if you had three wishes, three hopes, three dreams, and they all would come true.) (taglines)

Aladdin

 * [chased by Razoul and his guards] All this for a loaf of bread?
 * [followed by Jasmine when she's going home with Aladdin and Abu] Almost there.
 * Abu, this is no time to panic! [gasps and sees a cliff] Start panicking!
 * [to Genie, regretfully] Genie, I can't keep this up on my own. I.....I can't wish you free.
 * [looks out at the window to see the Sultan's Agrabah palace] Someday, Abu, things are gonna change. We'll be rich, live in a palace, and never have any problems at all.

Princess Jasmine

 * [to Aladdin as Prince Ali] Just go, I mean, jump off the balcony!
 * [to Aladdin] I'm a fast learner.
 * [to Abu, when feigning insanity] Oh, my Sultan! How may I serve you?

Iago

 * [on Jafar who's laughing his head off hysterically] Oh, boy. He's cracked. He's goin' nuts! Jafar! [pounds on Jafar's turban] Hello?! JAFAR!!!! Get a grip! [Jafar grabs him toughly around the throat which causes his head's blood circulation.] Good grip.
 * [going as a flamingo, turns around and finds a real flamingo smiling in his face] Ya got a problem.... [hits the flamingo with his right stilt, and the flamingo falls into the water] Pinky?! Jerk. [laughs maniacally, removes his flamingo disguise, sneaks into the palace, and gets the lamp] Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! [mimics Jafar] Excellent work, Iago! [in his normal voice] Aw, go on! [as Jafar] No, really. I mean, dead seriously. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are an 11. [in his normal voice] Oh, Jafar, you're too kind. [flies away with the lamp] I'm embarrassed. I'm blushing.
 * [to the Sultan while shoves many crackers into his mouth as his serious payback] Puppet ruler want a cracker?

Genie

 * [after coming out of his lamp] Oy! [feels a pain in his neck] 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck!
 * [as one of the cheerleaders] Jafar, Jafar, he's our man, whether he can't do it.... [screams bloody murder] GREAT!!!!
 * [after transforming Aladdin into a prince] He's got the outfit. He's got the elephant. But we're not through yet! Hang on to your turban, kid! We're gonna make you a star!
 * 10,000 years in the Cave of Wonders ought to chill him out! [kicks the lamp to the desert]
 * [to the audience when he pushes up a "The End" scene to a blank white one] Made you look.
 * [post credits scene] You have been a fabulous audience! Tell you what, you're the best audience in the whole world! Take care of yourselves! Good night, Alice! Good night, Agrabah! Adios, amigos!

Jafar

 * [eyes the giant tiger head rising from the sand] At last, after all my years of searching, the Cave of Wonders.
 * [after Aladdin has returned with Abu and Carpet] YOU!! How many times do I have to kill you, boy?!
 * I think that it's time to say goodbye to Prince Abubu.

Dialogue

 * Jafar: [first words] You... are late.
 * Gazeem: [first words] A thousand apologies, O Patient One.
 * Jafar: You have it, then?
 * Gazeem: I had to slit a few throats, but I got it. [pulls out half of the medallion. Jafar reaches out for it, but he yanks it back] Ah Ah Ahh! The treasure!
 * [Iago screeches as he flies by and grabs the medallion]
 * Gazeem: Ouch!
 * Jafar: Trust me, my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you.
 * Iago: What's coming to you! [Squawks]
 * [Jafar pulls out the second half of the medallion. He connects them, and the insect medallion begins to glow. Finally, it flies out of Jafar's hand, scaring the horses, and is off towards the dunes]
 * Jafar: Quickly! Follow the trail! [On horseback, the trio chase the medallion across the moonlit desert] Faster!
 * [The creature splits in two, each half lodging into a sand dune. A towering Tiger's Head rises from the dune, The pieces of the scarab from it's glowing eyes. The two horses rear on their hind legs, throwing their riders off. Jafar grins as the tiger head opens it cavernous mouth]
 * Jafar: At last, after all my years of searching... The Cave of Wonders!
 * Iago: [squawks] Cave of Wonders!
 * Gazeem: By Allah!
 * Jafar: Now... Remember! Bring me the lamp, the rest of the treasure is yours, But the lamp, Is mine!
 * [Gazeem starts to approach the tiger's mouth, which forms the entrance to the cave. He chuckles as he goes]
 * Iago: [squawks] The lamp! [squawks] The lamp! [Now that Iago and Jafar are alone, Iago opens up in normal English] Geez, where'd ya dig this bozo up?
 * Jafar: [points at the tiger head] Shh!
 * [Gazeem reaches the cave, but is blown away by the roar of the cave's speaking]
 * Cave of Wonders: Who disturbs my slumber?
 * Gazeem: [last words] It is I, Gazeem, a humble thief.
 * Cave of Wonders: Know this. Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. A diamond in the rough.
 * Jafar: What are you waiting for? Go on!
 * [Gazeem hesitates, then moves one foot inside the cave. With great apprehension, he plants his foot down. Nothing happens. Relieved, he begins his trek again. Then another roar comes. He turns back, but the lion's mouth slams shut and the dune collapses back to normal. All that are left are Jafar, Iago, and the two separated halves of the medallion]
 * Jafar: NO!!
 * Cave of Wonders: Seek thee out, the diamond in the rough.
 * [Iago unburied himself from the sand, coughing as he does so]
 * Iago: I can't believe it! I just don't believe it! We're never gonna get ahold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it! Look at this. Look at this. I'm so ticked off that I'm molting.
 * Jafar: Patience, Iago, patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy.
 * Iago: Oh, there's a big surprise! That's an incredib... I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise! What are we gonna do? We got a big problem here, a big, Hmph!
 * [Jafar grabs Iago's beak to shut him up]
 * Jafar: Yes. Only one may enter, I must find this one, this... diamond in the rough.


 * Prince Achmed: I've never been so insulted!
 * Sultan: [to Achmed] Oh, Achmed! You're not leaving so soon, are you?
 * Prince Achmed: Good luck marrying her off!


 * [Princess Jasmine stops at Farouk's fruit stand and sees a young boy reaching for fruit; she picks up an apple and hands it to him]
 * Princess Jasmine: You must be hungry. Here you go. [the boy runs off]
 * Farouk: You'd better be able to pay for that.
 * Princess Jasmine: [turns around] Pay?
 * Farouk: No one steals from my cart.
 * Princess Jasmine: I'm sorry, sir. I don't have any money.
 * Farouk: Thief!
 * Princess Jasmine: Please. If you let me go to the palace, I can get some from the sultan.
 * Farouk: Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?!
 * [he grabs her hand and pins it down on the table, then raises his sword]
 * Princess Jasmine: No! No, please!
 * [Aladdin stops Farouk]
 * Aladdin: Thank you, kind sir. I'm so glad you found her. [to Princess Jasmine] I've been looking for you.
 * Princess Jasmine: [quietly] What are you doing?
 * Aladdin: [whispers back] Just play along.
 * Farouk: You know this girl?
 * Aladdin: Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy.
 * Farouk: She said she knew the sultan.
 * Aladdin: She thinks the monkey is the sultan.
 * [Princess Jasmine, playing along, kneels and bows to Abu]
 * Princess Jasmine: Oh, wise Sultan, how may I serve you?
 * Abu: Well,... [babbles royally]
 * Aladdin: Tragic, isn't it? [leans forward, picking up another apple from the cart and hands it to Farouk as repayment] But no harm done. [walks over to Princess Jasmine] Now, come along, sis. Time to go see the doctor.
 * Princess Jasmine: [to a camel standing nearby] Oh, hello, doctor. How are you?
 * Aladdin: No, no, no, not that one. [to Abu, whose pockets are bulging] Come on, Sultan.
 * [Abu bows to the crowd until nearly everything he picked up falls out]
 * Farouk: Huh? What is it? [Abu picks up what he can carry, and the trio run off] Come back here, you little thieves!


 * [Aladdin finds the lamp in the Cave of Wonders]
 * Aladdin: This is it? This is what we came all the way down here to..?
 * [he looks down at Abu about to grab a red ruby from a monkey idol]
 * Aladdin: Abu! NO!
 * [Abu grabs the ruby]
 * The Cave of Wonders: INFIDELS!
 * Abu: Uh-oh!
 * The Cave of Wonders: You have touched the forbidden treasure!
 * [Abu tries to put the ruby back in the idol's palm, but the idol starts to melt away]
 * The Cave of Wonders: Now you will never again see the light of DAY!!


 * Jafar: [laughs after the cave closes with Aladdin trapped inside] It's mine. [removes his disguise] It's all mine! I... (In a deleted scene, he saids It's mine! It's all mine! With the power of this lamp I will...)
 * [he searches his robe pockets for the lamp, but it is empty]
 * Jafar: Where is it? No! [falls to his knees (In a deleted scene, he scrambles after the scarab pieces before the sand. The lightning is quiet and pulls Iago saids Oh, thank you, your benevolence! I knew you did save me! Jafar says no] NO!!! (In a deleted scene, he saids This can't be! It can't be!)


 * Genie: So what'll it be, master?
 * Aladdin: You're gonna grant me any three wishes I want?
 * Genie: Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.
 * Aladdin: Like?
 * Genie: Ah, rule number one: I can't kill anybody. [slices his head off with his finger] So don't ask. Rule number two: I can't make anyone fall in love with anyone else. [Genie's head turns into a big pair of lips which kiss Aladdin] You little punim, there. [lies flat, then gets up and transforms into a zombie ala Peter Lorre] Rule number three: I can’t bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture. [grabs Aladdin and shakes him] I DON'T LIKE DOING IT! [poofs back to normal] Other than that, you got it!
 * Aladdin: Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? [to Abu] Some all powerful genie. Can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Abu. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. (In a deleted scene, Genie saids Please. Get with the program.) Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out of here.
 * Genie: [stomps his foot in front of them] Excuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden, you're walkin' out on me?! I don't think so! NOT right now! YOU'RE GETTIN' YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!! (In a deleted scene, he saids The gauntlet has been thrown, the gloves are off!)
 * [Aladdin and Abu sit on the carpet; Genie joins them]
 * Genie: In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere! Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet! WEEEEEEEEEEEE'RE... [they pop out of the cave and soar into the distance] ...OUTTA HERE!


 * Genie: [obviously hurt] Fine. I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was just beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, "Master". [vanishes into his lamp]


 * Jafar: That was... [sees Aladdin's reflection in Jasmine's crown] You!
 * [He zaps Aladdin just as he is about to reach his respective lamp. Genie watches in shock]
 * Jafar: How many times do I have to kill you, boy?
 * [Jasmine rushes him, and he angrily throws her to the ground. Aladdin bravely rushes toward him and heroically grabs his staff]
 * Aladdin: Get the lamp!
 * Jafar: No!
 * [Jasmine runs to do so, but Jafar shakes off Aladdin, but evilly zaps her into an hourglass]
 * Jafar: Ah, ah, ah, princess. Your time is up!
 * Aladdin: Jasmine!
 * [Sand begins to flow from the top onto her, and she immediately realizes what will happen]
 * Iago: Oh, nice shot, Jaf–
 * [Abu angrily knocks Iago out with the fruit bowl that fell earlier and rushes for the lamp]
 * Jafar: Don't toy with me!
 * [Abu is almost to the lamp, but the blast from Jafar's staff turns him into a toy monkey, full of cymbals and a wind-up key]
 * Aladdin: Abu!
 * [Carpet rushes in and grabs the lamp as he flies side-by-side, but Jafar zaps him as well]
 * Jafar: Things are unraveling fast now, boy!
 * [Carpet unravels in midair, ending up as a pile of tangled threads and tassels. The lamp bounces away and lands in front of Aladdin]
 * Jafar: Get the point?
 * [Aladdin runs for the lamp, but his path is blocked by a ring of large swords sticking in the floor. Aladdin reaches for his lamp, but the opening is too narrow for him to get far enough, and Jafar evilly grabs it]
 * Jafar: I'm just getting warmed up!
 * [Jafar evilly breathes fire around Aladdin, setting the ring on fire. The street rat, however, yet stands his ground]
 * Aladdin: Are you afraid to fight me yourself, you Cowardly Snake?!
 * [Jafar evilly emerges through the fire, suddenly getting an idea from Aladdin's statements]
 * Jafar: A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how s-s-s-s-snake-like I can be!
 * [He grins broadly, and we see a snake's tongue come out from behind his teeth. Then his voice turns reptilian as he transforms into a giant cobra, and the ring of fire around Aladdin becomes part of the snake encircling Aladdin. From inside the hourglass, Jasmine watches Jafar's transformation in shock. Meanwhile, Snake Jafar snaps at Aladdin twice, and on the third try, Aladdin swings the sword and hits Jafar. The giant snake yells in pain. Cut to four Genies as cheerleaders wearing "A" sweaters]
 * Genie: [in unison] Rickem, rockem, rackem, rake--stick that sword into that snake!
 * Jafar: [to Genie angrily] You stay out of this-s-s-s!
 * [The Genies merge back into one and he waves a pendant, not wishing to root for his evil current master]
 * Genie: [dryly] Jafar, Jafar, he's our man--if he can't do it, GREAT!!
 * [Meanwhile, Aladdin uses the distraction from his genie to make a break for the hourglass where Jasmine is trapped. However, Jafar sees this and blocks the path. Aladdin is thrown off, and loses his sword. He hears a shout from Jasmine]
 * Jasmine: Aladdin!
 * [Aladdin turns to see Jasmine already knee-deep in sand. He bravely jumps on a large gem and heroically slides across the floor, bravely grabbing his sword along the road. He turns a corner, but the pursuing snake cannot, and the front half of Jafar smashes through a wall and hangs outside the palace. Aladdin bravely jumps up on the snake's back and heroically stabs him hard. Jafar shrieks in agony. Cut to Aladdin, who is once again trying to free Jasmine. At this point, she is now neck-deep in sand, and sinking fast]
 * Aladdin: Jasmine, hang on!
 * [He is about to hit the glass with a piece of wood he caught earlier until Jafar grabs him]
 * Jafar: [laughs hideously] You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on Earth?
 * Iago: [with Genie coming up behind him] Squeeze him, Jafar! Squeeze him like a--awk!
 * [Genie elbows him out of the road, all the while trying to look innocent]
 * Jafar: Without the Genie, boy, you're nothing!
 * [Aladdin suddenly glances down at Genie, who shrugs his shoulders, not knowing what to do either]
 * Aladdin: The Genie? [has an idea] The Genie! The Genie has more power than you'll ever have!
 * Jafar: [shocked] What?!
 * Aladdin: He gave you your power! He can take it away!
 * Genie: [concerned] Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this?
 * Aladdin: Face it, Jafar, you're yet just...second-best!
 * [Jafar thinks for a moment, and realizes Aladdin's right. Genie's "phenomenal cosmic powers" far surpass his, meaning that he yet can't call himself the most powerful being as he thought]
 * Jafar: You're right, his power does exceed my own. But not for long!
 * [Jafar circles around the Genie, aiming to rectify the power discrepancy between him]
 * Genie: [hesitantly] The boy's crazy. He's a little punch-drunk. [turns his hand into a cobra puppet and beats himself with it] One too many hits with the snake.
 * Jafar: [imperatively] Slave, I make my third wish!! I wish to be an all-powerful Genie!
 * [Aladdin looks down at Genie from Jafar's coils, and Jasmine, who is now almost buried in sand, looks toward her captor as well. Then Genie sighs in defeat, knowing he has no choice but to comply with Jafar's request]
 * Genie: [reluctantly] Alright, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al.
 * [Genie zaps Jafar with the last Genie-brand lightning bolt. Jafar's snake form dissipates, freeing Aladdin and he begins his transformation into a Genie. At this point, all that remains of Jasmine before she disappears under the sand is her raised hand. Thankfully, Aladdin runs over and eventually smashes the glass. The sand, along with Jasmine pours out, and she coughs a bit]
 * Jafar: Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power!
 * [Jafar rises out of the palace and towards outer space, getting larger as his power grows. Down below, the wind blows fiercely to signal what's to follow]
 * Jasmine: [to Aladdin frightfully] What have you done?
 * Aladdin: Trust me!
 * [Suddenly, a black lamp, similar to that of Genie's, appears at Jafar's base, though he is too busy manipulating the stars and planets to notice at first]
 * Jafar: The universe is mine to command, to control!
 * Aladdin: Not so fast, Jafar! Aren't you forgetting something?
 * [Jafar looks down at him questioningly, confused as to what the street rat is speaking about]
 * Jafar: What?
 * Aladdin: You wanted to be a Genie, you've had it!
 * Jafar: [shocked] WHAT?!
 * Aladdin: [back to normal] And everything that goes with it!
 * [Aladdin holds up the black lamp, and it begins to suck Jafar in. He tries to exist, but its power is too strong]
 * Jafar: NO! NO!!
 * Iago: I'm getting outta here!
 * Aladdin: Phenomenal cosmic powers!
 * Jafar: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
 * [Iago tries to fly off, but Jafar grabs him, and he gets sucked in as well]
 * Iago: C'mon, you're the genie, I don't want--
 * [With one final clank, Jafar and Iago are sucked inside his lamp, and that is the last we see of them]
 * Aladdin: Itty-bitty living space.
 * Genie: [ruffles Aladdin's hair] Al, you little genius, you!
 * [As a result of being trapped in his lamp, all of Jafar's magic undoes itself. First, Abu turns back into a real monkey and Carpet re-ravels himself. Next, Jasmine, the Sultan and Rajah stand together, and the tiger jumps up into the Sultan's arms. Just then, they are all transformed back into their regular clothes, and Rajah, now an adult tiger again, almost crushes him. Eventually, the palace reappears back in the ciy from where it was taken. Aladdin holds Jafar's lamp as he and Iago start to argue]
 * Jafar: Get your blasted beak out of my face!
 * Iago: Ah, shut up, you moron!
 * Jafar: Don't tell me to shut up!
 * Genie: Allow me. Ten thousand years in the Cave of Wonders will oughtta chill him out.
 * Jafar: [last words] Shut up! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!


 * Aladdin: Jasmine, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.
 * Princess Jasmine: I know why you did.
 * Aladdin: Well, I guess this is goodbye. [Genie pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing]
 * Princess Jasmine: Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair. I love you.
 * Genie: [wipes away a tear] Al, no problem. You still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.
 * Aladdin: But what about your freedom?
 * Genie: Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. [he leans down next to her] Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
 * Aladdin: Jasmine, I do love you. But I gotta stop pretending to be something I'm not.
 * Princess Jasmine: I understand.
 * [They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]
 * Aladdin: Genie, I wish for your freedom.
 * Genie: One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?
 * Aladdin: [he holds the lamp up to Genie] Genie, you're free.
 * [A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off Genie's wrists and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Genie picks it up and looks at it]
 * Genie: [he can't believe it; laughing] I'm free. I'm free. [he hands the lamp to Aladdin] Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say, "I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that.
 * Aladdin: Uh, I wish for the Nile.
 * Genie: No way. [laughs hysterically. He bounces around the balcony like a pinball] Oh, does that feel good! I'm free. I'm free at last. I'm hittin’ the road. I'm off to see the world. I'm...
 * [He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees Aladdin looking very sad]
 * Aladdin: Genie, I'm... I'm gonna miss you.
 * Genie: [smiling, with a tear in his eye] Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.
 * [They hug. The Sultan steps forward]
 * The Sultan: That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.
 * Princess Jasmine: Father?
 * The Sultan: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.
 * Princess Jasmine: [she smiles widely and runs into Aladdin's arms] Him. I choose... I choose you, Aladdin.
 * Aladdin: [laughs] Call me Al.
 * [They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. Genie is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy hat]
 * Genie: All of you, come over here. Big group hug. Do you mind if I kiss the monkey? [he kisses Abu] Ooh, hairball. Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. [takes off] I'm outta here! Bye-bye, you two crazy lovebirds! Hey, Rugman, Ciao, I'm history. No, I'm mythology. I don't care what I am! I'm free-hee! Made you look.

About Aladdin

 * The supporting characters are all depicted as nasty mean, people. While the Aladdin character, Jasmine and her father speak unaccented, standard Americanized English all the bad guys speak in foreign accents. The lesson is that anyone with a foreign accent is bad. This is horrendous racism.
 * Don Bustany, president of L.A. chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, "Disney Will Alter Song in 'Aladdin' : Movies: Changes were agreed upon after Arab-Americans complained that some lyrics were racist. Some Arab groups are not satisfied.", quoted by David J. Fox, Los Angeles Times, (1993-07-10).


 * I saw something that speculates that the peddler at the beginning of 'Aladdin' is the Genie. That's true!"
 * Ron Clements, "Aladdin Directors Actually Confirm Crazy Fan Theory", interviewed by Bill Bradley, Huffington Post, (10/16/2015).


 * One of the things [directors] Ron [Clements], John [Musker], and I were talking about was that, originally, when he came in to the first session, he said, “Do you want me to do kind of an ethnic voice for the Genie?” And we said, “No, no, just be yourself.” And we realized later that “being yourself” for Robin Williams is like being 98 different characters at once. [Laughs].
