 SUMMARY
◦ Aladdin is a street urchin who lives in a large and busy town
long ago with his faithful monkey friend Abu. When Princess
Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace
that overlooks the city, she sneaks out to the marketplace,
where she accidentally meets Aladdin. Under the orders of
the evil Jafar (the sultan's advisor), Aladdin is thrown in jail
and becomes caught up in Jafar's plot to rule the land with
the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a
person who is a "diamond in the rough" can retrieve the
lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin might fit that
description, but that's not enough to marry the princess, who
must (by law) marry a prince.
 SYNOPSIS
◦ The film starts with a street peddler, guiding us through the streets of the fictional Arabian
city of Agrabah. After trying to sell us on his wares, he pulls out an old oil lamp, claiming it
"once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who like this lamp was
more than what he seemed: A diamond, in the rough."

The peddler then begins to tell us a tale, beginning on a dark night, where the Sultan's
grand vizier, Jafar, meets with a thief named Kassim. Kassim hands over half of a gold
scarab beetle, of which Jafar has the second one. Putting them together, the beetle flies
off, before causing a giant tiger's head to rise from the sand: the Cave of Wonders.

Jafar sends Kassim to enter, telling him to retrieve a lamp inside. However, upon
approaching the Tiger's Head, it speaks that only one may enter: "One whose worth lies far
within: the Diamond in the Rough!" Kassim still attempts to enter upon Jafar's orders, but
upon entering the tiger's mouth, it bites down on the thief, closing off the entrance way. It
is then that Jafar claims he needs to find the Diamond in the Rough in order to enter.
The next day, on the streets of Agrabah, a young street urchin named Aladdin is struggling
to steal a loaf of bread, along with his monkey, Abu. After outwitting some of the Palace
Guards, the two settle down to eat their spoils, but are put off their stomach by a couple
children who are hungry. Aladdin and Abu give the two their bread, but are then
sidetracked when a Royal Prince marches through the streets, and claims Aladdin to be
nothing but "a worthless street rat." Aladdin and Abu then retire to their abode, with Aladdin
promising his friend that someday, things will be better.
The next day, the Royal Prince leaves the Palace, angered that Princess Jasmine has fended
off his advances -- Jasmine's pet tiger Raja has bitten out the seat of the suitor's pants. The
Sultan talks to his daughter, who claims she is tired of living her life being cooped up behind
walls. The Sultan goes to consult with his adviser, Jafar, who claims he can help the Sultan, if
the Sultan will give him the blue diamond ring on his finger. Using hypnosis, Jafar gets the
ring, and retreats to his private quarters.

Later on that evening, Jasmine escapes from the Palace, and wanders the streets of
Agrabah the next day. However, her act of giving an apple to a hungry little boy lands her in
trouble with the street merchant until Aladdin interferes and leads Jasmine away just in time.

Meanwhile, Jafar has used the blue diamond ring of the Sultan's and consulting The Sands of
Time, is revealed just who he needs to enter into the Cave of Wonders: Aladdin!
Aladdin has retreated with Jasmine to his and Abu's place, and she is rather taken by his kindness.
However, Aladdin is suddenly set upon by the Royal Guards. It is then that Jasmine reveals herself to
them, demanding Aladdin be released. However, the head of the Royal Guards, Razoul, claims he is
acting under orders from Jafar.

Returning to the Palace, Jasmine confronts Jafar, who claims that Aladdin was captured because he
kidnapped her. When Jasmine claims this to be ridiculous Jafar tells her that Aladdin has been
executed, sending her away in tears.

In actuality, Aladdin has been imprisoned in the Royal Dungeon. Abu manages to free Aladdin, but
are then met within the dungeon by an older prisoner, claiming he needs Aladdin's help to locate The
Cave of Wonders. In truth the prisoner is actually Jafar in disguise, who manages to help Aladdin
escape the dungeon.

After the group arrives at the Cave of Wonders Aladdin is allowed to enter, with the cave
commanding that he "touch nothing but the lamp." Aladdin and Abu venture deep into the cavern,
where they first encounter a magic carpet, that then leads them to the lamp's location. Aladdin is
able to retrieve it, but Abu breaks the rule, and swipes a large ruby, causing the cave to begin to
collapse on them. Using the magic carpet, Aladdin and Abu manage to get to the entrance to the
cave, where the old beggar pleads for Aladdin to give him the lamp. Aladdin does so, and the
beggar then reveals a dagger, intending to kill him. Luckily, Abu bites the beggar, and both Aladdin
and Abu fall back into the cavern, as the giant Tiger's Head disappears under the sand.
Jafar then laughingly reaches for the lamp, only to find it is gone. Abu managed to steal it
off the beggar before he fell into the cave with Aladdin. Deep within the cave, Aladdin
begins to examine the lamp, finding a worn inscription on the side of it. Rubbing it, the lamp
then produces a large blue genie. The genie tells Aladdin that for rubbing the lamp, he is
entitled to three wishes (and that wishing for more wishes is also not an option), but that
they come with the following exceptions:
1) He can't kill anyone 2) He can't make anyone fall in love with someone else 3) He can't
bring people back from the dead
Using his street-smarts, Aladdin manages to con Genie into getting him and Aladdin out of
the cave without using a wish. Landing in a small oasis, Aladdin contemplates what to wish
for, and asks the Genie what he would wish for. The Genie mentions how he'd wish to be
free of the lamp, prompting Aladdin to promise to free the Genie after making his first two
wishes.
As the topic turns to Aladdin's wishes, he thinks of wanting to be with Jasmine, and though
he cannot make her fall in love with him, he decides to wish to be a Prince, as she is a
Princess. Aladdin uses his first wish; the genie will turn him into a fabulously rich prince. Abu is
transformed into a large white elephant and will be Aladdin's mount.
Meanwhile, back in Agrabah, Jafar is still upset that he didn't get the lamp. Wanting to find
some way to attain power, Jafar attempts to convince the Sultan that there is a clause in
the royal rules that if Jasmine has not been suitably wed by a certain time, Jafar can marry
her.

LESSON LEARNED
◦ Lesson 1 – Be You
◦ Both Aladdin and Jasmine teach us to be who we are. Do not try to be
someone else or to conform to what others perceive us to be. Be who you
are meant to be. Be true to who are and live your life with honesty.
◦ Lesson 2 – You are Greater than your Situation
◦ You must believe in yourself always, even more so when others doubt you
and discourage you. Remember, even Walt Disney himself was repeatedly
discouraged by others time and time again, yet he believed in his dreams
and he believed in himself.
◦ Lesson 3 – Friendship
◦ Aladdin taught us the importance of friendship both good and bad. The
sultan learned the hard way that not all friends can be trusted such as with
Jarfar. The sultan put all his trust in him only to have him betray him
