[quote="Nez"]Hmm, I like Jasmine as she is in the final version. Of course, toying with the possiblity of a spoiled princess in a comedy would be interesting.[/quote]

universe we're talking about! He could have been kidnapped by bandits! Turned into a magical fish! Become the leader of an underground resistance movement! Trapped in a magic coffee grinder! Forced to guard an ancient treasure until the end of time! Ran away to pursue his dream of becoming a fresco artist!
I don't know about anymore, but people used to abuse that kind of thing a lot because they wanted to give Jasmine a sister.
But I'm an Aladdin fan; I'm good at suspending disbelief. As long as you make it interesting.

My fave princess is Belle, but Jasmine is close second.
Wow, Ariel was stupid.

The princess was set to marry Aladdin at first, but the sultan's vizier talked him out of it. So she was then engaged to the vizier's son until Aladdin and the genie of the lamp scared the crap out of the vizier's son to the point where he called it off. Then Aladdin stepped back in, proved himself worthy by bringing all the stuff the sultan asked for (mirror image of "Prince Ali") and they were wed...and stuff.
As for the the sultan having a son, no clue. Never read that before.
They never mentioned him having one, but I dont' remember if they definitely said he didn't...

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but wasn't that part the same as in the original Arabian Nights story?

Of course keep in mind this is a story involving genies and sorcerers and magic carpets. It's not exactly a documentary.
Too true...

I honostly couldn't tell you, I've never read them.
Well, whether it is unrealistic or not has nothing to do with Disney, then.

That's totally irrelevant to this discussion. If Sultan was as he was in the Arabian Nights, he'd practically be begging Aladdin to sleep with his daughter... and he doesn't exactly do *that* in the movie. Not that Aladdin would object or anything...
I know it was sorta irrelevant... but I had to get it out there... and I saw this as a chance.
And, I've never read the Arabian Nights... so I couldn't tell you anything about it.

Jasmine wasn't planning on going back... which would have left the city without an heir to the throne. Hence, the city in hazard.
Don't get me started on that... because that whole system was really messed up.

It was a Disney spin on things. Back in that time period, a princess was sent away to marry... and the son ruled their father's country.
But in your defense, you're right... she did leave them in hazard... but it wasn't as big as what Ariel did.

True, which is why she was above Ariel in many ways. Ariel put her whole city in hazard with what she did.

I mean, the only Mulan doll I've seen has been her in her pretty flower blossom dress from the matchmaker scene. If it was about the person Mulan really is, where's the Ping dolls? *Note: I'm not knocking Mulan's doll, which is lovely, but... I'm trying to make a point*
Umm... yeah, I kinda have a problem with that too... and it makes me mad that don't even sell costumes for Mulan's Ping outfit. Ping dolls would be cool... seeing how Mulan was more of herself when she was Ping.
