Line 38:
** When Jafar takes over Agrabah using his witches, chains up Jasmine and lets Iago torment the sultan with dry crackers, he offers to free her if she agrees to marry him. Jasmine's response is to splash a drink in his face and give a definite refusal. She only pretends to agree when seeing Aladdin and Abu sneak into the throne room and signal her to cause a distraction. When the ruse fails, her next response is to try and grapple with him so Aladdin can grab the lamp.
** Genie is unable to disobey Jafar's wishes when the sorcerer utters them. He is still a [[Nice Guy]] but does what he can to rebel. For example, when Jafar tries to use his last wish to make Jasmine fall in love with him, Genie refuses and cites that it's against the rule for wishes; this distraction allows Aladdin and Abu to signal Jasmine, as mentioned above. He also knocks out Iago at a convenient time, and becomes a cheerleading squad when Aladdin manages to whack Jafar in snake form with a sword. When Jafar tells him to stay out of it, Genie grudgingly says, "Jafar, Jafar, he's our man, if he can't do it, GREAT!
* The ''[[Aladdin (2019 film)|Aladdin]]'' reboot also has this with Will Smith's genie, who is much snarkier and more cynical than the Robin Williams interpretation. He is nice enough to warn Aladdin, when the latter is asking about if he can make Aladdin a prince, that wishes have grey areas that genies can deliberately misinterpret. Jafar forces him to grant his first two wishes while banishing Aladdin and Abu to an icy tundra using new powers, but Genie surreptitiously teleports Carpet to the same area to rescue his former master. He's also not happy that his [[Love Interest]] lady-in-waiting Dalia is also a hostage for Jafar to use against him and Jasmine. Later, Aladdin while being tortured telegraphs his plan as he tells Jafar that he will always be second to the Genie, remembering what Genie said about "grey area". While at first horrified, Genie catches on and gains a very angry smile, turning Jafar into a genie when the latter asks to become "the most powerful being in the world, more powerful than you". Basically, do ''not'' hurt the people that Genie cares about if you want wishes from him.
* In ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]'', Belle willingly trades places with her father in the Beast's castle, but she's not happy about it. She refuses to dine with the Beast, saying she's not hungry, and outright calls him a bully in the stage musical. When the Beast seems to threaten her life after she enters the West Wing, she decides a promise isn't worth her safety and leaves. While she comes back to the castle willingly to help the Beast after he gets injured rescuing her and Philippe from wolves, she still asserts that while she made mistakes by breaking the rule about the West Wing, ''he'' should learn to control his temper. It's not until she sincerely thanks the Beast for saving her life that they call truce, and their bond truly starts. Later, when Gaston locks her and her father in their cellar when he gets it in his mind to kill the Beast, Belle is fighting the whole time he's got a grip on her arm, and tries to break a cellar window to escape.
* ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' shows this with the main character and the friends that he makes along the way:
