Jafar determines that person is none other than Aladdin. However, only a "diamond in the rough" may enter the Cave of Wonders. Jafar wants a mystical lamp that contains a genie who will grant him three wishes. So of course he completely fails to notice his villainous chief advisor Jafar is plotting against him. Jasmine has a habit of sending her loyal pet tiger to munch on anyone who comes a'courting. He lives in the shadows of the giant palace of the Sultan, a kindly, child-like man who is distracted with attempts to find a prince to marry his headstrong daughter Jasmine. Here, he's a street kid and thief with his faithful monkey Abu who steals to eat, but when he sees some homeless children in even worse shape, he gives them his hard-won bread. I've also read that the character of Aladdin is actually Chinese. In the original tale, Aladdin had some friends, not just the cute animal sidekick, and a mother. It was under development during the first Gulf War, and the story is set in ancient Baghdad. Based on the old tale The Arabian Nights, Disney made a few changes, some done for license, others for the times. That sort of pop culture referencing was unheard of with Disney films. He does impersonations of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jack Nicholson, Rodney Dangerfield, Robert De Niro, Ed Sullivan and a host of other 20th century figures, all at a hundred miles an hour. As the hyperkinetic genie, Robin Williams spouts off pop culture references like Dennis Miller on a sugar high (a huge thank you to Richard Roeper for that line, even if it was used in reference to Shrek 2). Disney's rule had always been to make its films timeless, with no references to a particular time or era.

Robin Williams aside, the most recognizable voice of the cast was Gilbert Gottfried, and who goes to a movie to hear him? The real risk in Aladdin wasn't its insult of Arabs, it was the modern slant of the film. Its box office was stellar, which is all the more impressive given its near-total lack of name voices. It's barbaric, but hey it's home." The new lyrics are "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense, it's barbaric, but hey it's home." The controversy didn't hurt the film though. The original lyrics were "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face. The offending was song "Arabian Nights," which opened the film. Casey Kasem, the long-time DJ and host of American Top 40, led the fight, and by the time the movie was released on home video, the song was changed. I underestimated them once before and payed dearly.Disney's animated Aladdin got off to a rough start in 1992 due to some lyrics that drew the ire of Arab-Americans. Jafar: Don't get too excited sister! Beware of Aladdin and his infernal genie. But once I obtain these artifacts, then you will be able to live again and the world will be ours for the taking! Ha ha ha ha ha! Nasira: Indeed I have Jafar, according to an ancient legend, there is a spell of restoration that can breed precious life back into a long dead soul, because of the spells power, artifacts necessary to cast it were banished to the far reaches of the desert. Have you discovered when you'll bring me back to Agrabah. I have been waiting in this dreadful place far too long. Summon Jafar from the darkest depths and bring him here! Nasira: Spirits of darkness, hear my call, on this fateful night, I command the powers of evil to pop the sands of time and make a vision clear.
