Aladdin (1992 Disney film)

Aladdin is a 1992 American animated comedy musical romantic fantasy adventure

Aladdin
film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animationfor Walt Disney Pictures. The film
is the 31st Disney animated feature film, and was the fourth produced during the
Disney film era known as the Disney Renaissance. It was directed by John Musker
and Ron Clements, and is based on the Arab-style folktale of the same name from
One Thousand and One Nights and the French interpretation by Antoine Galland.
The voice cast features Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Jonathan
Freeman, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried and Douglas Seale. The film follows
Aladdin, a street urchin, who finds a magic lamp containing a genie. In order to hide
the lamp from the Grand vizier, he disguises himself as a wealthy prince, and tries to
impress the Sultan and his daughter.

Lyricist Howard Ashman first pitched the idea, and the screenplay went through
three drafts before then-Disney Studios president Jeffrey Katzenberg agreed to its
production. The animators based their designs on the work of caricaturist Al
Hirschfeld, and computers were used for both finishing the artwork and creating
some animated elements. The musical score was written by Alan Menken and
features six songs with lyrics written by both Ashman and Tim Rice, who took over
after Ashman's death. Theatrical release poster by John

pet monkey, Abu, meet Princess Jasmine, who refuses to marry a suitor and
temporarily leaves the palace. Aladdin and Jasmine become friends and fall in love.
When the palace guards capture Aladdin, Jafar lies to Jasmine that Aladdin has been executed.

Jafar disguises himself as an old man, and sends Aladdin and Abu to the cave, ordering them to retrieve the lamp. There, Aladdin
befriends a magic carpet and obtains the lamp. Abu inadvertently grabs a forbidden jewel and the cave collapses itself. After
surviving with his friends, Aladdin rubs the lamp and meets the Genie, who is trapped inside of it. He tells him that he will grant him
any three wishes. Aladdin tricks the Genie into freeing themselves from the cave without using a wish, and he uses his first to
become "Prince Ali of Ababwa".

At Iago's suggestion, Jafar plots to become Sultan by marrying Jasmine. When Aladdin greets Jafar and the Sultan at the palace,
Jasmine becomes upset at them. Refusing his friends advising him to tell Jasmine the truth, Aladdin takes Jasmine on a flight on the
magic carpet. When she deduces his identity, he convinces her that he dresses as a peasant to escape the stresses of royal life. After
Aladdin sends Jasmine home, he is ambushed by Jafar, but is rescued from drowning by the Genie with his second wish. Jafar tries to
hypnotize the Sultan into agreeing to his marriage to Jasmine, but Aladdin appears and prevents Jafar from doing so. After Jafar
returns to his room, he orders Iago to retrieve the lamp from Aladdin after discovering his true identity
.

Realizing that he will become Sultan, Aladdin refuses to free the Genie. Iago steals the lamp and Jafar becomes the Genie's new
master. He uses his first two wishes to usurp the Sultan and become the world's most powerful sorcerer, exposing Aladdin's identity
and exiling him, Abu and the carpet to a frozen wasteland. However, they escape and return to the palace. There, Jafar wishes Genie
for his final wish to make Jasmine fall in love with him, but the Genie refuses to grant the wish. Upon noticing Aladdin, Jasmine
pretends to be interested to distract Jafar and Aladdin tries to retrieve the lamp, but Jafar stops Aladdin and traps Jasmine inside an
hourglass. Jafar transforms into a giant cobra and tells Aladdin that he is the most powerful being in the world. However, Aladdin
replies that the Genie is more powerful than him. Jafar uses his last wish to become a genie and create his own lamp. Aladdin frees
Jasmine, and uses Jafar's lamp to trap the latter and Iago.

With the palace reverted to normal, the Genie sends Jafar's lamp far away through the desert, and suggests Aladdin to use his third
wish to regain his royal title so the law will allow him to stay with Jasmine. Realizing that he has to be himself, Aladdin decides to
keep his promise and frees the Genie. Realizing Aladdin and Jasmine's love, the Sultan changes the law to allow Jasmine to marry
whom she chooses. The Genie leaves to explore the world, while Aladdin and Jasmine plan their marriage.

Cast
Scott Weinger as Aladdin, a poor, but kind-hearted Agrabah thief. Weinger sent in a homemade audition tape with
his mother playing the Genie,[2] and after several call backs he found six months later that he had the part.
[3]

Aladdin's supervising animator wasGlen Keane. Brad Kane provides Aladdin's singing voice.[4]
Robin Williams as The Genie, a comedic genie, with nigh omnipotent power that can only be exercised when his
master wishes it. The Genie's supervising animator wasEric Goldberg. Clements and Musker wrote the part of the
Genie for Robin Williams, and, when met with resistance, created a reel of Williams' stand-up to animation of the
 Genie. The directors asked Goldberg to animate a Genie over one of Williams' old stand-up comedy routines to pitch
the idea to the actor. The resulting test, where Williams talking aboutschizophrenia was translated into Genie
growing another head to argue with himself, made Williams "laugh his ass f" of and convinced him to sign on for the
role. Williams' appearance inAladdin (despite his appearance along withChristian Slater and Tim Curry in the early
1992 animated film FernGully) marks the beginning of a transition in animated film to celebrity voice actors, rather
than specifically trained voice actors in animated film. [5] Williams provided many celebrity impressions during
recording sessions, which were re-adapted into the fabric of the character . These included Ed Sullivan, Jack
Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Groucho Marx, Rodney Dangerfield, Jerry Lewis, William F. Buckley, Peter Lorre, Arnold
Schwarzenegger, and Arsenio Hall.[6] Williams also voices the Peddler, a mysterious merchant who appears at the
beginning of the film. After promoting useless goods to the audience, he reveals the magic lamp and begins the story
of Aladdin. The scene was completely unscripted the production left Williams a table with props covered with a
sheet and asked him to pull out objects without looking at them and describe them in-character . The double role
originally led to the Peddler revealing to be the Genie disguised, but that idea was dropped later in development. [7]
Bruce Adler supplies the singing voice for the Peddler , with Williams singing as Genie.
Jonathan Freeman as Jafar, the power-hungry Grand Vizier of Agrabah. Jafar was originally envisioned as an
irritable character, but the directors decided h t at a calm villain would be scarier.[8] Freeman was the first actor cast
and spent one year and nine months recording his dialogue. He later readjusted his voice after einger W and Larkin
were cast as he felt "Jafar had to be seen as a real threat to Aladdin and Jasmine". [9] Jafar's supervising animator

was Andreas Deja, who tried to incorporate Freeman's facial expressions and gesturing into the character ,[10] while
Jafar's beggar and snake forms are animated by Kathy Zielinski. [11]

Linda Larkin as Princess Jasmine: The princess of Agrabah, who is tired of life in the royal palace. Larkin was
chosen nine months after her audition, and had to adjust (or lower) her high-pitched voice to reach the voice the
filmmakers were looking for in the character .[8] Jasmine's supervising animator wasMark Henn. Lea Salonga
provides Jasmine's singing voice.[12]
Frank Welker as Abu, Aladdin's kleptomaniac pet monkey with a high-pitched voice. The animators filmed monkeys
at the San Francisco Zoo to study their movements for Abu's character .[8] In the three years it took to record the film,
Welker did not meet Weinger or Williams.[13] Welker also voices Jasmine's tiger Rajah and the Cave of Wonders.[11]
Duncan Marjoribanks was the supervising animator for Abu, while Rajah was animated by Aaron Blaise.
Gilbert Gottfried as Iago, Jafar's sarcastic, foul-mouthed parrot assistant. Much like Robin Williams, Gottfried was
given freedom to improvise his lines.[14] Iago's supervising animatorWill Finn tried to incorporate some aspects of
Gottfried's appearance into Iago's design, especially his semi-closed eyes and the always-appearing teeth. [8]

Douglas Seale as The Sultan, the pompous, but kind ruler of Agrabah, who desperately tries to find a suitor for his
daughter Jasmine. Some aspects of the character were inspired by the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority
figure.[8] The Sultan's supervising animator wasDavid Pruiksma.
Jim Cummings as Razoul, the Captain of the Guard. He was named after layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani.[8] He
and the other guards were animated by Phil Y oung and Chris Wahl.
Charlie Adler as Gazeem: A thief that Jafar sends into the Cave of W
onders at the beginning of the film but is
trapped inside for being unworthy. Gazeem was animated by T. Daniel Hofstedt.
Corey Burton as Prince Achmed, a snobbish prince who is rejected by Princess Jasmine as her suitor .

Production

Script and development

In 1988, lyricist Howard Ashman pitched the idea of an animated musical adaptation of Aladdin. Ashman had written a 40-page film
treatment remaining faithful to the plot and characters of the original story, but envisioned as a campy 1930s-style musical with a Cab
Calloway/Fats Waller-like Genie.[15] Along with partner Alan Menken, Ashman conceived several songs and added Aladdin's friends
named Babkak, Omar, and Kasim to the story.[16][17] However, the studio was dismissive of Ashman's treatment and removed the
project from development. Ashman and Menken were later recruited to compose songs for Beauty and the Beast.[18] Linda
Woolverton, who had also worked on Beauty and the Beast, used their treatment and developed a draft with inspired elements from
The Thief of Bagdad such as a villain named Jaf'far, an aged sidekick retired human thief named Abu, and a human handmaiden for
the princess.[19][20] Then, directors John Musker and Ron Clements joined the production, picking Aladdin out of three projects
offered, which also included an adaptation of Swan Lake and King of the Jungle that eventually became The Lion King.[21] Before
[22]
Ashman's death in March 1991, Ashman and Menken had composed "Prince Ali" and his last song, "Humiliate the Boy".
Musker and Clements wrote a draft of the screenplay, and then delivered a story reel to studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg in April
1991.[17] Katzenberg thought the script "didn't engage", and on a day known by the staff as "Black Friday," demanded that the entire
story be rewritten without rescheduling the film's November 25, 1992 release date.[23] Among the changes Katzenberg requested
from Clements and Musker were to not be dependent on Ashman's vision,[16] and the removal of Aladdin's mother, remarking,
"Eighty-six the mother. The mom's a zero."[24] Screenwriting duo Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio were brought in to rework the
story,[17] and the changes they made included the removal of Aladdin's mother, the strengthening of the character of Princess
Jasmine, and the deletion of several of the Ashman-Menken songs.[25] Aladdin's personality was rewritten to be "a little rougher, like
a young Harrison Ford,"[17][26] and the parrot Iago, originally conceived as an uptight British archetype, was reworked into a comic
role after the filmmakers saw Gilbert Gottfried in Beverly Hills Cop II. Gottfried was cast to provide Iago's voice.[27] By October
1991, Katzenberg was satisfied with the new version of Aladdin.[15] As with Woolverton's screenplay, several characters and plot
elements were based on the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad,[28][29] though the location of the film was changed from Baghdad,
Iraq, to the fictional Arabian city of Agrabah.[30]

Design and animation

One of the first issues that the animators faced during production of Aladdin was the
depiction of Aladdin himself.[32] Director and producerJohn Musker explains:

In early screenings, we played with him being a

little bit younger, and he had a mother in the
story. [...] In design he became more athletic-
looking, more filled out, more of a young leading
man, more of a teen-hunk version than
before.[32] Style guide depicting the main
He was initially going to be as young as 13, but that eventually changed to characters. The animators designed
eighteen.[32] Aladdin was designed by a team led by supervising animator Glen each one based on a different
Keane, and was originally made to resemble actor Michael J. Fox. During geometrical shape.[31]
production, it was decided that the design was too boyish and wasn't "appealing
enough," so the character was redesigned to add elements derived from actor Tom
Cruise and Calvin Klein models.[7]

The design for most characters was based on the work of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld,[10] which production designer Richard Vander
Wende also considered appropriate to the theme, due to similarities to the swooping lines of Persian miniatures and Arabic
calligraphy.[33] Jafar's design was not based on Hirschfeld's work because Jafar's supervising animator, Andreas Deja, wanted the
character to be contrasting.[34] Each character was animated alone, with the animators consulting each other to make scenes with
interrelating characters. Since Aladdin's animator Glen Keane was working in the California branch of Walt Disney Feature
Animation, and Jasmine's animator Mark Henn was in the Florida one at Disney-MGM Studios, they had to frequently phone, fax or
send designs and discs to each other.[33] Animator Randy Cartwright described working on the Magic Carpet as challenging, since it
is only a rectangular shape, who expresses himself through pantomime "It's sort of like acting by origami".[33] Cartwright kept
folding a piece of cloth while animating to see how to position the Carpet.[33] After the character animation was done, the carpet's
surface design was applied digitally.[10]

For the scenery design, layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani took many pictures of his hometown of Isfahan, Iran for guidance.[8] Other
inspirations for design wereDisney's animated filmsfrom the 1940s and 50s and the 1940 film The Thief of Bagdad.[33] The coloring
was done with the computerized CAPS process, and the color motifs were chosen according to the personality the protagonists use
light colors such as blue, the antagonists darker ones such as red and black, and Agrabah and its palace use the neutral color
yellow.[8][10] Computer animation was used for some elements of the film, such as the tiger entrance of the Cave of Wonders and the
[10]
scene where Aladdin tries to escape the collapsing cave.
Musker and Clements created the Genie with Robin Williams in mind; even though Katzenberg suggested actors such as John Candy,
Steve Martin, and Eddie Murphy, Williams was approached and eventually accepted the role. Williams came for voice recording
sessions during breaks in the shooting of two other films he was starring in at the time, Hook and Toys. Unusually for an animated
film, much of Williams' dialogue was ad-libbed: for some scenes, Williams was given topics and dialogue suggestions, but allowed to
improvise his lines.[10] It was estimated that Williams improvised 52 characters.[35] Eric Goldberg, the supervising animator for the
Genie, then reviewed Williams' recorded dialogue and selected the best gags and lines that his crew would create character animation
to match.[10]

The producers added many in-jokes and references to Disney's previous works in the film, such as a "cameo appearance" from
directors Clements and Musker and drawing some characters based on Disney workers.[11] Beast, Sebastian from The Little
Mermaid, and Pinocchio make brief appearances,[8] and the wardrobe of the Genie at the end of the filmGoofy hat, Hawaiian shirt,
and sandalsare a reference toa short film that Robin Williams did for the Disney-MGM Studiostour in the late 1980s.[11]

Robin Williams' conflicts with the studio

In gratitude for his success with Touchstone Pictures' Good Morning, Vietnam, Robin Williams voiced the Genie for SAG scale pay
($75,000) instead of his asking fee of $8 million, on condition that his name or image not be used for marketing, and his (supporting)
character not take more than 25% of space on advertising artwork, since Williams' film Toys was scheduled for release one month
after Aladdin's debut. For financial reasons, the studio went back on the deal on both counts, especially in poster art by having the
Genie in 25% of the image, but having other major and supporting characters portrayed considerably smaller. The Disney Hyperion
book Aladdin: The Making of an Animated Film listed both of Williams' characters "The Peddler" and "The Genie" ahead of main
[7][36][37]
characters, but was forced to refer to him only as "the actor signed to play the Genie".

Disney, while not using Williams's name in commercials as per the contract, used his voice for theGenie in the commercials and used
the Genie character to sell toys and fast food tie-ins, without having to pay Williams additional money; Williams unhappily quipped
at the time "The only reason Mickey Mouse has three fingers is because he can't pick up a check." Disney attempted to assuage
Williams by sending him a Pablo Picasso painting worth more than $1 million at the time, but this move failed to repair the damaged
relationship, as the painting was a self-portrait of the artist as Vincent van Gogh which apparently really "clashed" with the Williams'
wilder home decor.[38] Williams refused to sign on for The Return of Jafar so it was Dan Castellaneta that voiced the Genie. When
Jeffrey Katzenberg was replaced by Joe Roth as Walt Disney Studios chairman, Roth organized a public apology to Williams.[39]

Music
Composer Alan Menken and songwriters Howard Ashman and Tim Rice were praised for creating a soundtrack that is "consistently
good, rivaling the best of Disney's other animated musicals from the '90s."[40] Menken and Ashman began work on the film together,
with Rice taking over as lyricist after Ashman died of AIDS-related complications in early 1991.[41] Although fourteen songs were
written for Aladdin, only six are featured in the movie, three by each lyricist.[42] The DVD Special Edition released in 2004 includes
four songs in early animations tests, and a music video of one, "Proud of Your Boy", performed by Clay Aiken,[43] which also
appears on the album DisneyMania 3.[44]

Themes
The filmmakers thought the moral message of the original tale was inappropriate,
and decided to "put a spin on it" by making the fulfillment of wishes seem like a "The original story was sort of a

Princess, being rebellious against the royal life and the social structure,[46] and
trying to make her own way, unlike the princesses who just wait for rescue.[33]

Release and reception

Theatrical run
A large promotion campaign precededAladdin's debut in theaters, with the film's trailer being attached to most Disney VHS releases,
and numerous tie-ins and licensees being released.[47] After a limited release on November 13, 1992,[48] Aladdin debuted in 1131
theaters on November 25, 1992, grossing $19.2 million in its opening weekend number two at the box office, behind Home Alone
2: Lost in New York.[49] It took eight weeks for the film to reach number one at the US box office, breaking the record for the week
between Christmas and New Year's Eve with $32.2 million.[50] The film held the top spot five times during its 22-week run.[51]
Aladdin was the most successful film of 1992 grossing $217 million in the United States and over $504 million worldwide.[1] It was
the biggest gross for an animated film until The Lion King two years later, and was the first full-length animated film to gross $200
million in North America.[52] As of January 2014, it is the thirtieth highest grossing animated film and the third highest-grossing
traditionally-animated feature worldwide, behind The Lion King and The Simpsons Movie.[53] It sold an estimated 52,442,300 tickets
in the US.[54]

Critical reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 94% of critics gave the film a
positive review based on a sample of 68 reviews, with an average score of 8.1/10. The site's
consensus reads, "A highly entertaining entry in Disney's renaissance era, Aladdin is beautifully
drawn, with near-classic songs and a cast of scene-stealing characters."[55]

Most critics' praise went to Robin Williams' performance as Genie,[55] with Janet Maslin of The
New York Times declaring that children "needn't know precisely what Mr. Williams is evoking to
understand how funny he is."[56] Warner Bros. Cartoons director Chuck Jones even called the film
"the funniest feature ever made."[17] Furthermore, English-Irish comedian Spike Milligan
considered it to be the greatest film of all time.[57] James Berardinelli gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars,
praising the "crisp visuals and wonderful song-and-dance numbers."[58] Peter Travers of Rolling
Stone said the comedy made the film accessible to both children and adults,[59] a vision shared
with Desson Howe of The Washington Post, who also said "kids are still going to be entranced by
the magic and adventure."[60] Brian Lowry of Variety praised the cast of characters, describing the

review, describing the film as racist, ridiculous, and a "narcissistic circus act" from Robin
Williams.[62] Roger Ebert, who generally praised the film in his review, considered the music
inferior to its predecessors The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and claimed Aladdin and Jasmine were "pale and routine."
He criticized what he saw as the film's use of ethnic stereotypes, writing: "Most of the Arab characters have exaggerated facial
[63]
characteristics - hooked noses, glowering brows, thick lips - but Aladdin and the princess look like white American teenagers."

Awards
Aladdin also received many award nominations, mostly for its music. It won two Academy Awards, Best Music, Original Score and
Best Music, Original Song for "A Whole New World" and receiving nominations for Best Song ("Friend Like Me"), Best Sound
Editing (Mark A. Mangini), and Best Sound (Terry Porter, Mel Metcalfe, David J. Hudson and Doc Kane).[64] At the Golden Globes,
Aladdin won Best Original Song ("A Whole New World") and Best Original Score, as well as a Special Achievement Award for
Robin Williams, with a nomination for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.[65] Other awards included the Annie Award for
Best Animated Feature,[66] a MTV Movie Award for Best Comedic Performance to Robin Williams,[67] Saturn Awards for Best
Fantasy Film, Performance by a Younger Actor to Scott Weinger and Supporting Actor to Robin Williams,[68] the Best Animated
Feature by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association,[69] and four Grammy Awards, Best Soundtrack Album, and Song of the Year,
Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media
for "A Whole New World".[70]

The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:

2004: AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs:

"Friend Like Me" - Nominated

"A Whole New World" - Nominated

Home media
The film was first released in VHS on October 1, 1993, as part of the "Walt Disney Classics" line. In its first week of availability,
Aladdin sold over 10.6 million copies,[71] and went on to sell over 25 million in total (a record only broken by the later release of The
Lion King).[72] This VHS edition entered moratorium on April 30, 1994.[73] A THX-certified widescreen LaserDisc was issued in
Autumn 1994,[74] and a Spanish-dubbed VHS for the American market was released on April 14, 1995.
[75]

On October 5, 2004, Aladdin was rereleased onto VHS and for the first time released onto DVD, as part of Disney's Platinum Edition
line. The DVD release featured retouched and cleaned-up animation, prepared for Aladdin's planned but ultimately cancelled IMAX
reissue in 2003,[76] and a second disc with bonus features. Accompanied by a $19 million marketing campaign,[77] the DVD sold
about 3 million units in its first month, but it was less than the number of copies, sold in that amount of time, by any other Platinum
Edition released before it.[78] The film's soundtrack was available in its original Dolby 5.1 track or in a new Disney Enhanced Home
Theater Mix.[43] The DVD went into moratorium in January 2008, along with its sequels.[79]

According to an insert in theLady and the Tramp Diamond Edition release case, Aladdin was going to be released on Blu-ray Disc as
a Diamond Edition in Spring 2013.[80] Instead, Peter Pan was released on Blu-ray as a Diamond Edition on February 5, 2013 to
celebrate its 60th anniversary.[81][82] A non-Diamond Edition Blu-ray was released in a few select European countries in March
2013. The Belgian edition (released without advertisements, commercials or any kind of fanfare) comes as a 1-disc version with its
extras ported over from the Platinum Edition DVD. The same disc was released in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2013.[83] Walt
Disney Studios Home Entertainment released the film on a Diamond Edition Blu-ray on October 13, 2015. The film was released on
Digital HD on September 29, 2015.[84][85][86] Upon its first week of release on home media in the U.S., the film topped the Blu-ray
Disc sales chart and debuted at number 2 at the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert chart, which tracks overall disc sales behind the
disaster film San Andreas.[87]

Controversies
One of the verses of the opening song "Arabian Nights" was altered following protests from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination
Committee (ADC). The lyrics were changed in July 1993 from "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face," in the
original release to "Where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense." The change first appeared on the 1993 video release.[88] The
original lyric was intact on the initial CD soundtrack release, but the re-release uses the edited lyric. The rerecording has the original
voice on all other lines and then a noticeably deeper voice says the edited line. The Broadway adaptation also uses the edited line.[89]
Entertainment Weekly ranked Aladdin in a list of the most controversial films in history, due to this incident.[90] The ADC also
complained about the portrayal of the lead characters Aladdin and Jasmine. They criticized the characters' Anglicized features and
Anglo-American accents, in contrast to the other characters in the film, which are dark-skinned, have foreign accents and grotesque
.[88]
facial features, and appear villainous or greedy

Protests were also raised to another scene. When Aladdin is attacked by the tiger Rajah on the palace balcony, Aladdin quietly says a
line that some people reported hearing as"Good teenagers, take off your clothes,"[91] which they considered asubliminal reference to
promiscuity. However, according to the commentary track on the 2004 DVD, while Musker and Clements did admit Scott Weinger
ad-libbed during the scene, they claimed "we did not record that, we would not record that," and said the line was "Good tiger, take
off and go..." and the word "tiger" is overlapped by Rajah's snarl.[92] After the word tiger, a second voice can be heard which has
been suggested was accidentally grafted onto the soundtrack. Because of the controversy, Disney removed the line on the DVD
release.[93]

Animation enthusiasts have noticed similarities between Aladdin and Richard Williams' unfinished film The Thief and the Cobbler
(also known as Arabian Knight under Miramax Films and The Princess and the Cobbler under Majestic Films International). These
similarities include a similar plot, similar characters, scenes and background designs, and the antagonist Zig-Zag's resemblance in
character design and mannerisms to Genie and Jafar.[94][95] Though Aladdin was released prior to The Thief and the Cobbler, The
Thief and the Cobbler initially began production much earlier in the 1960s, and was mired in difficulties including financial
problems, copyright issues, story revisions and late production times caused by separate studios trying to finish the film after Richard
Williams was fired from the project for lack of finished work.[96] The late release, coupled with Miramax purchasing and re-editing
the film, has sometimes resulted inThe Thief and the Cobblerbeing labeled a rip-off of Aladdin.[95]

Live-action adaptations

Live-action prequel spin-off

On July 15, 2015, the studio started developing a live-action comedy adventure prequel called Genies. The film is
being written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, whileTripp Vinson is on board to produce via his Vinson Films
banner. The film is intended to lead into a live-action Aladdin movie.[97] On November 8, Disney revealed it had

originally been scheduled to begin in July , but was delayed due to Disney having trouble finding the right people to
play Aladdin and Jasmine. British actressNaomi Scott and Indian actress Tara Sutaria were being considered to play
Jasmine. For the role of Aladdin, British actorsRiz Ahmed and Dev Patel were initially considered, but it was later
decided that a newcomer should be cast in the role. [104] In July 2017, it was announced that Egyptian-Canadian
actor Mena Massoud has been cast as Aladdin, Naomi Scott has been cast as Jasmine, and Will Smith has been
cast as the Genie.[105][106] At the 2017 D23 Expo, Alan Menken announced that he would be co-writing new songs
for the film with Academy Award winners Pasek and Paul (La La Land)[107] while Vanessa Taylor (Game of Thrones)
would re-write the script.[108][109] In August 2017, Marwan Kenzari, Nasim Pedrad, and Numan Acar joined the cast
as Jafar, Dalia, and Hakim, respectively.[110][111] The following month, Billy Magnussen and Navid Negahban were
cast as Prince Anders and the Sultan, respectively .[112][113] Filming began on September 6, 2017 atLongcross
Studios.[114] The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2019. [115]
