Aladdin Central Messageboard

To Cure a Thief - Aladdin gets tired of Abu's stealing everything in sight and sets out to cure his friend's larcenous tendencies.

Do the Rat Thing - While trying to prove her independence, Jasmine finds herself turned into a rat. (screenshots)

Edit: Do the Rat Thing wins, 8-3.

Originally I was going to vote for To Cure a Thief because I thought Do the Rat Thing made Jasmine seem far too young and naive (she was out on the streets in the first movie; she should know more than that). But the animation in DtRT is better (TCaT has a lot of errors), I think it's funnier, and it's got a lot of interaction between Jasmine and Iago which is always a plus for me. TCaT didn't have anything I hated, but there wasn't much I liked either, so I'd rather vote for an ep that has lots of things I like and one I don't than one that's average across the board. So Do the Rat Thing it is, for me. Cool

Definitely Do The Rat Thing for me, due to all the Iago in it! Razz

It's hilarious, one of my favorite episodes. To Cure a Thief is also funny, but nothing beats Iago the frilled lizard. Laughing

If you would have asked me this about three days ago, I would have said TCAT because Amin is just hilarious Laughing

But as of recently, I have become intrigued by how Aladdin and Jasmine act when it comes to other males or females, in particular how Jasmine feels about Sadira.
I was explaining something to a friend about Saleen and how Jasmine would kick her ass if she found out she turned Aladdin into a shark, but she doesn't see her as a "threat" to her relationship, IMO.

Sadira, on the other hand, I think she feels threatened by because she's a street rat. Sadira connects with Aladdin on a level that she'll never fully understand, even though she's tried ala Do The Rat Thing. But there is no way she can even get the full effect of it like Sadira can because she's not a street rat and never will be. It's interesting to me...

So on that slightly off topic and long response, DTRT for me Very Happy

I have to go with "To Cure a Thief", due to Amin. I like both episodes about equally, but Amin's presense can push just about any episode over the edge for me. And since I think TCaT if going to lose, I'll have a second chance to throw in my love for DtRT. Laughing

Being a big Jas fan I will go for "Do the Mario" uh I mean "Do the Rat thing." One of the few episode where Jasmine was the main star without Aladdin or Genie just Iago although the parrot is funny in scenes like the crossing the street or at the end with his feathers. Laughing

This ep is most about how Jasmine discovers a side of Agrabah from an different point of view, much closer how Aladdin sees the world she ever could imagine. The scene where she brings the poor woman and her kids cheese is touching. One of the funniest moments is the license to steel scene.

"To Cure A Thief" is also one of the best episodes in the series. My favorite scene is as Amin and Abu enter the treasure room and Amin hides behind the door before Abu walks past all the traps without a scratch.

"To Cure a Thief" all thanks to Amin. Very Happy

I will have to go w/ TCAT because DtRT makes Jasmine look stupid... and I don't like episodes like that. Plus... well... it just didn't hold my attention. It gave off the wrong feeling when it came to royal family.

And they way Aladdin almost talked down to her because she was a princess... ::shudders::... I'm suprised Jasmine didn't just call it off right there.

I gotta vote for Do the Rat Thing. I think it was a great plot point for Jasmine to be able to see the city through the eyes of the needy. I mean, her boyfriend has BEEN there, so I think it was a great opportunity for her to sort of get to see Agrabah through his eyes. I think it'd certainly make her more sympathetic to that part of his character, not that she wasn't already.
