Aladdin Central Messageboard

What do you think about the Sultan. I'm asking, because one of my brother's friends, who's favorite movie is Aladdin, he's not exactly as big an Aladdin fan as I am, but it's his favorite movie, and he was saying, You know, I think the Sultan is just plain stupid.

I think he's just pretty funny. And a little weird, and maybe childish, or absent-minded. But he certainly does love his daughter.

I do think he is a little senile ("There's poor people in Agrabah?" Laughing

), but when the time comes to do his job and BE a sultan, I say he does a good job at it. It's almost as if he is reserving his real smarts for something important Laughing

.

I just love the fact that he spends most of his day playing with toys. That's pretty much me Laughing

Yes, he's just so...cuddly. It kinda makes you think he was meant to have grandkids...if he manages to live that long.

Personally, I look at him and think "Santa Clause!"

It doesn't help that Douglas Seale (Santa Clause in Ernest Saves Christmas) voiced him in the original movie. Very Happy

When me and my friend watch old Aladdin tapes from the series we think, "Wow. He's so stupid." But then we think he's so cute and nice and grandfatherly! Very Happy

I love the episode when Jasmine switches places with Sadira and Sultan was still nice to her instead of yelling "Get out of my palace crummy, dirty imposter of a streetrat!" Even though Jasmine still had great hair in that ep Wink

He gets down to business when he finally has too but he really does remind me of Santa Clause Laughing

Yeah, he's Santa incarnate. I like him, he's sweet. He was really short-sifted in the series, like Genie, they made 'em stupid.

Maybe it was a side-effect of Sadira's spell?

Did anyone else forget anything, besides that Sadira was Sadira and Jasmine was Jasmine.

What did she call him? Anything funny? Was he mad?

I don't think so, but on an already-confuzzled mind it might have a worse effect.

If he was already confuzzled, now we know why he was really so anxious for Jasmine to marry. He needs to go to retirement already.

The little people must have teased him to tears about it. "The princess can't even remember your name, Ragoul!" Laughing
