[quote="Calluna"][quote="SalukFan"]He was really young when he met Abu in Tales from Agrabah. He was about the same age as Jasmine was when she met Rajah, so I'd go for 7 or 8 there. I think the only Abu meeting Aladdin theory that could really be accepted as fact would be the series explaination, unless, of course, you're ignoring the series all together. The series should get the highest canon priority, IMO.[/quote] In I remember he was about that age in Tales From Agrabah when they met, but he was a little older when they actually started living together. I really need to reread that book.... But, yeah, if you're going to take the sequels as canon you should probably accept the series as well, since they're all made by the same group of people and are internally consistent (well, most of the time :wink: ). I like the books and comics and try to fit them into the continuity whenever I can, but I know I'm never going to fit everything in. :([/quote]
