Aladdin (1992 Disney film)/Characters

Characters from Disney's Aladdin universe.

Aladdin
"Voiced by: Scott Weinger"

"Aladdin: If Jasmine found out I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me"
 * The Ace: Aladdin disguises himself as the completely over-the-top Prince Ali to woo Princess Jasmine, and he's introduced with a preposterously epic song that's one long hymn to his awesomeness, which has him easily evading the guards.
 * All of the Other Reindeer: Aladdin normally faced discrimination by people who'd constantly call him a "street rat", and laugh when some haughty prince shoved him into a nearby mud puddle. This had the unfortunate consequence of Aladdin taking this to heart and hating himself enough that he rejects Genie's concerns regarding dropping his own "haughty prince" façade and just telling Jasmine the truth about his identity.

"Jafar: How many times do I have to kill you, boy?!"
 * Anti-Hero: Earlier on due to growing up as a criminal, he's quite deceitful and has no qualms about stealing from others if he feels like it. In fact, Aladdin may very well be one of the most morally ambiguous Disney protagonists yet. However, not only was every bad deed he committed done for survival rather than out of malice, but he eventually got over it after the second movie.
 * Badass Normal: This is a guy who goes up against magical beings, sorcerers, and giant robots on a regular basis, and somehow finds a way to come out on top every time by using his guile.
 * Batman Gambit: Showcased in the first movie. His plan to defeat Jafar banked on exploiting the man's ego.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: He's a Nice Guy through and through, but you do not want to make him angry. In the first film, when Prince Achmed badmouths him, Aladdin is only stopped from physically attacking him because the palace gates slammed shut between them.
 * Bound and Gagged: Chained up and silenced so he couldn't save himself from drowning or call for help, until Genie saves him.
 * Character Development: By the final film, he's really grown into a man worthy of being Sultan.
 * This is best seen in King of Thieves. After breaking his father out of prison, Aladdin returns to face any punishment he might receive, because he realized how much his running away would affect Jasmine due to his own father's abandonment of his family. Aladdin has learned that his actions affect other people, a lesson some people would say more rulers need to learn.
 * Chaste Hero: Although he's engaged to Jasmine and thusly spends a lot of time at the palace, he still seems to live in the abandoned building from the first movie.
 * Chick Magnet: Just ask Jasmine, the Harem Girls, Sadira, Saleen, and (initially) Brawnhilda.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome: Especially in the animated show, where characters, often Iago, are able to use the knowledge that he'll always help people in need to get him to go along with things.
 * Consummate Liar: Being a Guile Hero Street Urchin, it's part of the trade, but at the same time it's treated as a serious character flaw. Aladdin grows out of it before it becomes an actual Fatal Flaw.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Explored in the television series. He grew up an orphan after his father left the family on a treasure hunt and never came home and his mother died some time afterwards, forcing him to raise himself on the streets as a thief. There was also one episode in the series detailing how his childhood friend, Amal, just up and vanished one day without a trace when he was a child.
 * Determinator:

""I made a mess of everything; somehow I gotta go back and set things right.""
 * Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?: Twice at least. One of them by conning them into becoming a Cthulhu... who is constrained by itty bitty living space.
 * Didn't Think This Through: He used the Genie to become a wealthy prince to woo Jasmine. He succeeds, but never considered before them that with Jasmine comes the throne of Agrabah.
 * Dude in Distress: At one point in the first movie, he's thrown into the ocean by Jafar's guards, and would have drowned if not for the Genie.
 * In the series, one episode has Aladdin getting kidnapped for ransom by Mozenrath, and Jasmine has to rescue him.
 * Friend to All Living Things: He's the only one of the thieves in "Seems Like Old Crimes, Part 1" to treat Abu kindly.
 * Guile Hero: He's a roguish street rat who gets by via theft and charm, and uses cunning and trickery to best most conflicts. After first meeting the Genie, Al uses trickery to get out of an otherwise inescapable cave without actually wishing to do so.
 * Hidden Depths: He's not called "the diamond in the rough" by the Cave of Wonders for nothing. Aladdin's worth lies far within. When you understand not to judge a book by its cover - the young man is one of the most honest, empathetic and good-willed humans you're ever going to find in the entire world.
 * Honor Before Reason: In the third movie; after breaking Cassim out of the dungeon and being discovered, instead of escaping Agrabah with his father, Aladdin refuses to abandon Jasmine and willingly goes back to face the consequences of his actions because he knows how much it would affect her after seeing how much it hurt his mother and him.
 * A much milder example can also be seen in the television series. Aladdin lives in his home in the slums and wears the same old peasant rags throughout the series because he doesn't want to mooch off the Sultan. At the time depicted (whenever it's supposed to be anyway) it would be considered improper for him to live in the same house as his girlfriend and not be married, even if it is a huge freaking palace. However, several episodes show that he sometimes sleeps in one of the Palace's rooms, demonstrating that Aladdin seems to alternate between spending nights in his old hovel and spending nights in the Palace.
 * Just Like Robin Hood: How often does he actually keep anything he steals for himself? Only a jeweled flower to earn bonus points with his girlfriend.
 * Idiot Hero: Even though he's also a Guile Hero, Aladdin is prone to foolish reckless choices: He goes about his life carelessly while making the most moronic decisions, spare for a few moments of flash in the pan brilliance when his or somebody else's life depends on it. It's particularly noticeable when you realize how most of the other characters, save for Jasmine, spend their time trying to steer him to a correct choice. Still, his idiocy seems not to extend too far beyond what's needed for the Aesop of the week. And his moronic behavior goes through stages, as well: in the first movie, it's due to his horrifically low self esteem telling him that lying about himself will make people like him, even when it's obvious that Jasmine loves him for who he is. In the show, it shifts to either overconfidence or his chronic inability to pass by a problem and not try to solve it.
 * Leitmotif: Often accompanied by "One Jump Ahead Reprise"
 * Losing Your Head: In one episode ("Heads, You Lose") along with Caliph Kapok. Thankfully, Al gets better. By the way, we saw him get nearly decapitated before in The Return of Jafar.
 * Loveable Rogue: As a thief and a trickster (at least initially), but a sympathetic one you can root for.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Reportedly, he was redesigned during development because originally he was deemed not attractive enough: his animation design was based on Tom Cruise (at the point where Tom Cruise was the hot young thing of the moment) for this very reason. He was originally designed much younger and based on Michael J. Fox, but that design didn't go down as well.
 * Must Make Amends: After Aladdin left behind the genie lamp, which led to Iago bringing it to Jafar, then Jafar using it to wish himself to be sultan and the world's most powerful sorcerer.


 * Nice Guy: Aladdin might be a thief and The Trickster, but there is no doubt whatsoever about his decency and sense of morality. In fact, "The Diamond In The Rough" line is essentially a perfect measure about his decency.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero:
 * He didn't wish the Genie free when he had the chance and left it behind to go talk to Jasmine, giving Iago the opportunity to swipe the lamp and hand it over to Jafar. He even acknowledges that he blew it. Then again, he does fix his mistakes.
 * While exploiting Jafar's lust for power to trick him into Becoming the Genie saved the day in the first movie, come The Return of Jafar, when Jafar is unearthed by Abis Mal...
 * Nobody Calls Me Chicken: Interestingly, he was originally based on the Trope Namer, Marty McFly, before being redesigned.
 * No Social Skills: A mild case, again due to his having grown up on the streets, he often doesn't fit in at the palace. Although he does have a sort of common man's wisdom that impresses the Sultan enough to want to make him his royal advisor.
 * Parental Abandonment: His mother died when he was young and Cassim left before that.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Mozenrath's blue. Mozenrath is a lot more cold-blooded and calculating, whereas Aladdin has a more impulsive and improvosing nature.
 * Rule of Empathy: His defining trait. An Establishing Character Moment happens when he gives up his only meal to ensure orphans won't starve. That's all the viewer needs to know what sort of man he is.
 * Save the Villain: Unintentionally. Upon Abis Mal's introduction, the only reason Abis Mal wasn't killed by his own gang for foolishly demanding all the loot that they stole is that Aladdin swooped in and stole it himself from them thus directing all their ire at himself.
 * Street Smart: By necessity. "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat".
 * Street Urchin: He is one of many children who grew up on the streets of Agrabah. Jafar was all too keen to sacrifice Aladdin for his scheme because in his mind, who would miss one more vanished street rat?
 * Turn Out Like His Father: A number of people thought that he would become a "prince of thieves" after his father.
 * Undying Loyalty: To Jasmine. Aladdin would sooner kill himself than cheat on her behind her back. It's why he turned down the advances of Sadira and Saleen in the series. This is further emphasized in the third movie — after freeing his imprisoned father, Aladdin decides to go back to Agrabah because he refused to abandon Jasmine. Also to his other friends, even Iago. He refuses to give up Genie to an old master and he still rescues Abu after their falling out. He even still helps Iago after Iago almost betrays the city by handing over Genie to Abis Mal.
 * Walking Shirtless Scene: Apparently, he couldn't afford buttons for his vest. Or a shirt.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: It turns out that Aladdin is terrified of Unkbut, which are giant spiders that live underground. Justified considering that spiders of that size would be potentially dangerous. He eventually conquers this fear later on.

Genie
"Voiced by: Robin Williams/Dan Castellaneta"


 * Badass Beard
 * Benevolent Genie: When Aladdin wished to be a prince, Genie could have just given him a certificate or something. Instead, he got new fancy clothes, a parade, a full musical number, and a grand entrance to impress the princess.
 * The Big Guy
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * Camp Straight
 * The Chew Toy
 * Combat Medic
 * Deadpan Snarker: When played by Robin Williams.
 * Flanderization: An odd case of this being due to different actors. Williams' Genie is a screwwball, but also has a sensitive and reasonable side, sometimes acting as a sort of father figure to Aladdin (particularly in King of Thieves). When Castellanata plays him, this almost completely vanishes, and his hyperactive goofiness is played up much more.
 * Forgot About His Powers: Due to how powerful he is, he has a bad case of this in the series.
 * And whenever he didn't forget, he had an unfortunate tendency of running into villains with Anti-Magic abilities or otherwise have a similar power level.
 * Four-Fingered Hands
 * Fourth Wall Observer
 * Genie in a Bottle: Until the end of the first film.
 * Gentle Giant
 * Great Gazoo
 * Large Ham
 * Let's Get Dangerous
 * Leitmotif: The "To Be Free" theme. In his more humorous moments he's also accompanied by the refrain from "Friend Like Me."
 * The Nicknamer
 * Our Genies Are Different: For the most part, Genie was consistent with how the 20th century Western world viewed genies, although he had a few new twists. He was one of the first genies to want to be set free, and the first genie that could not kill.
 * It may not have been Disneyfication so much as the the writers were simply Nerfing a potential deus ex machina outright.
 * Reality Warper
 * Why Did It Have to Be a Mukhtar?

Jasmine
"Voiced by: Linda Larkin"


 * Action Girl: Not so much in the movie, but very much so in the series.
 * Badass Damsel
 * Badass Princess
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * The Chick
 * Disney Princess
 * Evil Costume Switch: Her "Scourge of the Desert" costume in Forget Me Lots.

 * X-Ray Sparks

Razoul
"Voiced by: Jim Cummings"

 * Badass Long Robe
 * Bastard Understudy: The little backstory that is known about him basically boils down to overthrowing Destane and taking his power for himself.

 * Chronic Backstabbing Disorder

""You were in my kingdom and you didn't look me up? I'm hurt.""

 * Word of Dante: Everything you think you know about Mozenrath's backstory. See the Trivia tab.
 * Xanatos Gambit: He sets one up in his debut episode. Either he will gain control over a magic-devouring beast, or Genie will be gone. Either outcome would leave Agrabah powerless against him.

"Voiced by: Ron Perlman"

"Jasmine: "Arbutus, I'm not a flower you can keep in your garden! I need my family and friends." Arbutus: "Ah, yes, human needs. Like you need to hack down my gorgeous trees, and chop them into lumber." Jasmine: "It's not that simple." Arbutus: "Indeed! You burn them, for warmth. Creating smoke, to block our life-giving sun!" Jasmine: "We don't do that on purpose!" Arbutus: "Is it an accident when you rip and pluck my flowers? Condemning them to a slow death in a vase?" Jasmine: "Slow death?" Arbutus: "Your kind, you're all the same! You treat my beautiful living creations as things! Why should I treat you any differently?" Jasmine: "Arbutus, I... I think I understand.""
 * Anti-Villain: He's probably the least evil of the series villains (not the least effective, Abis Mal is that, but the least malicious) since he's only collecting a debt from the Sultan and doesn't hurt any of the characters before they hurt him.

""Your sword may sever every limb, but my power will always bloom!""
 * Badass Boast


 * Beard of Evil
 * Blue and Orange Morality: Being a plant and all.
 * Expy: Looks a lot like a plant-Jafar.
 * Gaia's Vengeance
 * Humans Are the Real Monsters
 * Large Ham
 * Mad Artist
 * Nature Spirit
 * Papa Wolf: He loves his plants as much as Aladdin and the sultan loves Jasmine.
 * Whole-Plot Reference: Arguably, his episode is a variation on the original story of Beauty and the Beast; a man is caught stealing flowers from a magical creature and the creature claims his daughter as payment. And even though Jasmine didn't fall in love with Arbutus, she still had pity for him and tried to stop him and Aladdin from fighting.

Mukhtar
"Voiced by: John Kassir"


 * Badass
 * Badass Cape
 * Changed My Mind, Kid: At the end of The Hunted.
 * Foil: More or less Genie's complete opposite.
 * Genie Hunter
 * Heel Face Turn
 * Hidden Heart of Gold
 * Last of His Kind
 * Lightning Bruiser
 * Lizard Folk
 * No Name Given: "Mukhtar" is the name of his species and he is only ever referred to as such, much like Genie is only ever referred to as Genie.
 * Punch Clock Villain: Just tries to make a living, doing what he does best.
 * Scarily Competent Tracker
 * Sssssnaketalk
 * Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: And for that matter, what are they?

Fasir
"Voiced by: Ed Gilbert"


 * Ambiguously Human

 * Blind Seer: His blindness could be a facade to hide his, though.
 * Cain and Abel: With his brother Fashum.
 * The Chessmaster: A heroic example.
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Creepy Monotone
 * Dark Is Not Evil: He starts out rather ambiguous about which side he's on, especially when revealed to be.
 * Herald
 * Manipulative Bastard: Occasionally, but it's with good intentions.
 * Mysterious Past
 * Noodle Incident / What Happened to the Mouse?: As part of his mysterious past. At the end of "Eye Of The Beholder" Fasir briefly implies that he and Mirage had some kind of romantic relationship, before something twisted her to evil. This is never brought up again.
 * Simple Staff
 * Stealth Hi Bye
 * Wizard Beard
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Doubly Subverted. As he says himself, appearances can be deceiving.
 * Wizard Beard
 * You Can't Fight Fate: Doubly Subverted. As he says himself, appearances can be deceiving.

Nasira
"Voiced by: Jodi Benson"


 * Avenging the Villain: She's Jafar's sister (as if the image didn't make that obvious) and she's there to avenge him.
 * Game Over Woman
 * Gender Bender: A meta example; see Mythology Gag below.
 * Lean and Mean
 * Mythology Gag: Possibly; in the original Aladdin legend, there were two evil sorcerers, the second being the vengeful brother of the first one. While Jafar was basically a Composite Character of the two of them, Nasira brings back the basic idea.
 * Scaled Up: Nasira doesn't need to transform into a cobra. She already looks like one.
 * Smug Snake
 * Wicked Witch: Razoul's words about her.

Saleen
"Voiced by: Julie Brown"

 * Our Mermaids Are Different: She can actually walk on land by splitting her fins.
 * Smug Snake
 * Stalker with a Crush: To Aladdin. Even crazier than Sadira.
 * Vain Sorceress

Malcho

""Maybe if a scheme fails I can slap you around a bit? Yes, please?""
