the story ;
1992: Aladdin, a street-smart young thief in the mythical city of Agrabah meets and falls in love with the Sultan's beautiful daughter,
Jasmine, a liberated young lady who seeks to escape her present lifestyle. Help comes when the evil vizier, Jafar, plots to get a magic
lamp for his own rise to power, and decides he needs Aladdin, a true "diamond in the rough," to seek the lamp in the Cave of Wonders.
Aladdin and his friend, the monkey Abu, gain the lamp and the wisecracking Genie inside for themselves. The Genie changes Aladdin
into a prince so he can woo the princess, but the deception fails to impress Jasmine. As his true self, however, he uses his cunning and
courage, with the help of the Genie, to defeat Jafar and his evil plans, in the end earning a princely title and the princess.

movie history ;
The idea of adapting the Aladdin story as a Disney animated musical was first proposed by Howard Ashman in 1988 when he and Alan
Menken were still working on "The Little Mermaid." He wrote an initial treatment and collaborated on six songs with Menken, including
"Arabian Nights," "Friend Like Me," and "Prince Ali." After Ashman's death in 1991, Tim Rice came on board to write some additional
songs, notably "One Jump Ahead" and "A Whole New World." The art directors were influenced by Persian miniatures and Arabian
calligraphy. Supervising animator Eric Goldberg, who created the Genie, was the first animator to work on the project. He was heavily
influenced by the curved, fluid caricature style of artist Al Hirschfeld.

The film became the highest-grossing animated film up to that time, earning over $200 million internationally. The film also won Academy
Awards® for Best Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score. The video release in 1993 also set records.

Directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. Starring: the
voices of Scott Weinger (Aladdin), Robin Williams (Genie), Jonathan Freeman (Jafar), Linda Larkin (Jasmine speaking), Lea Salonga
(Jasmine singing), and Gilbert Gottfried (Iago). 90 min. There were two made-for-video sequels: "The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and
the King of Thieves."[/RIGHT]

Thanks for the new thread Liv. Love the title.

We will need to work on the OP. It's a shame that the images are broken.

livstevi21

You're welcome.

Yeah, we'll get something together. It really is a shame the images got broken. Sucks when it happens.

AutumnColorsღ

You could do.

AutumnColorsღ

I PMed them and just waiting for a response back. I will give it about a week in case they might be busy and we can just go ahead and redo the pictures after that if I dont hear back. Does that sound good?

livstevi21

At least this isn't a live action remake! Looks rather interesting and original. Finally! Thanks for the link.

AutumnColorsღ

Very nice, a prequel! I love prequels.

I haven't heard anything back from the original OP maker. So any ideas of what you all want to add in on the OP?

Here is something I found for a banner.

I like all three movie.

AutumnColorsღ

I don't think I have seen the third one. Do they have a third Aladdin movie out there? I know they had a tv series for awhile.

a fine mess

My favorite character in Aladdin is either Abu or the Genie. Both were hilarious. Love that little monkey!

livstevi21

That's a nice banner, we can have that in the OP for now. I could try making one myself sometime.

I haven't seen the sequels. But you know me and my stand on most Disney sequels.
