Two To Tangle

So maybe this is his last episode cause he's pretty much at the end of his life from the sound of it

Mozenrath: I need a new body...one that's young and agile.
*cuts to Aladdin*
This is how fanfic starts

Again with Abu the transportation

"Not if I get there first, princess-woman" that's the weirdest nickname yet

Mozenrath, as Jasmine: I’m tired of playing, Aladdin. Why don't we go for a walk in the garden? *takes his hand*
This is also how fanfic starts

I forgot Aladdin had the obligatory body swap episode

WHAT OTHER DISNEY PRINCESS IS OUT HERE DOING IT LIKE JASMINE???

"Who ordered the gumdrop and pepperoni?" Dhandi Laughing

Genie is so mean sometimes

Abu's single emo tear

me meeting aladdin Laughing

yikes @ this moment where mozenrath is horny for jasmine through aladdin. i'm actually a little shocked this made it in.

it's probably supposed to be legit writing but it's funnier if Genie gave him a paper full of scribbles Laughing

that looks pickable...

Jasmine in pink sleepwear, ahhh <33

...is this supposed to be Aladdin's room or just where he was staying for the night? Did he move back in finally?

"There's the thief!!"
*silhouette of Aladdin*

*Mozenrath clearly does something through Aladdin*
The gang: Aladdin, get ahold of yourself! ):<
Aladdin: I'm sorry ):

evil!aladdin has the best faces Laughing

these worms look like the netherworld ones from beetlejuice

"Excuse me, Al. Do you need some help?" Laughing

Did he just yeet those worms to outer space?

this really feels like I'm watching my two brain cells fight Laughing

me: how does mozenrath's spirit still have power through aladdin but not alad--

me: ah okay that's better

"I refuse to lose to a street rat!" you were trying to take his body like three minutes ago though

All his endings seem ambiguous enough to be his last but this is the second time he's lost that gauntlet and this time the gang kept it so idk at this point. Does that mean he stopped the slow process of dying?

chug chug chug chug

I never understood this ending with the cup filling back up again. Does this mean even if they spilled the elixir, more would have appeared so they have nothing to worry about?

Every Opportunity To Touch

These shouldn't even count but whatever Laughing

[quote="AladdinsGenie]Apologies for this being late! I thought I posted it before I left for a quick trip (my granny's funeral, ugh), but forgot about it[/quote]

My belated condolences. We went through that in September <3

The Ethereal

Uh oh, it's a prophecy episode. Time to overreact!

Pink pajamas with a purple robe, yaaaas

This is more than just a little hail. This is the desert freezing over with hail in the middle of the summer. I know it gets cold but not this cold.

Also I'm guessing this is early series if they're questioning Jasmine's dream cause this wouldn't be the first time someone has seen a vision/had a dream and its come true. Although this brings up the idea of false alarms and weird stuff happening for non-nefarious reasons Laughing

"Hey, not all of us are gonna marry wealthy!" He says this like Aladdin isn't filled with guilt every moment of his life over that fact Laughing

We always meet the poorer citizens of Agrabah. We never meet the other classes (unless they don't exist....
Jasmine, 84 episodes ago: we need to talk about the poor people of Agrabah
Sultan: Poor people? We have poor people in Agrabah? Let's make everyone poor then! Laughing

)

Jasmine overpaying for this cloth, aww

CREATURES OF DESTRUCTION Laughing

Why are the creatures of destruction giant scorpions?

This Louisiana accent Genie is doing is making me think I'm with my relatives Laughing

"A malevolent, omnipotent being shows up and you tackle her?!" Before Iago said this, I literally typed "why are y'all trying to tackle an ethereal being that dropped out of the sky to judge your whole civilization??" Laughing

Don't do this, Genie, don't come up with a weapon to make things worse

"Siskon and Ebris gave it two thumbs up" Laughing

This library is gorgeous though. I wanna see more of Agrabah, dammit

Y'all just out here cooking carpet and abu??

This is a cool shot of the marketplace, too.

We really should have had more episodes with the city people who weren't just Omar and Farouk, or the Thieves Den locals

"International House of Hummus" - they are really bringing out the top tier puns this episode Laughing

With everything Aladdin has done in this series, THIS is what makes him sweat Laughing

Floaty-spinny death cube

It's funny cause in any other episode this staff side plot would have been the thing that worked

It kind of blows my mind that time and time again after saving and prioritizing Agrabah and its citizens, they didn't think it's the people that make the city what it is earlier.

"From now on, free apples for you and your monkey!!" Laughing

I feel like we've met these children before...

I appreciate Jasmine and the sultan are the kind of royals that stick it out with the people instead of run off during a crisis

Jesus, this series was getting dark towards the end

So I noticed they always says "____'s gone" instead of "____'s dead" despite using "death" and "die" in the series.

"dead bodies make me happy, you can have your city back now"

The Shadow Knows

Man I don't remember this episode (I also can't believe I'm on the second to last one)

Ooh, Faraboo is so cool

Oh God, it's an Ayam episode. Hopefully this is better than his last one.

Is this Sahib different from the one who sells maps? Laughing

And aww, Aladdin planning to make Jasmine breakfast (somehow I get the feeling Genie is gonna help though)

They had a lot of evil!Aladdin plots in the latter half of the series

I can't tell if this outfit is the same pink one she's been wearing at night lately and it just looks washed out because of the recording or a new light pink one

Me: Jasmine, he's a shadow. He can escape.
The Shadow: Jasmine, I'm a shadow. I can escape.

Now everyone is going to have dramatically lit shadows the whole episode so we can keep track of them even though the light source for this makes no sense Laughing

I appreciate how Jasmine gets herself in to more trouble just by talking smack Laughing

I remember these bouncy balls as a kid

This moment is so random Laughing

"semi-phenomenal, nearly cosmic, and totally evil" - I'm going to use this in a conversation somewhere

Carpet doesn't have a face, but I know he definitely was making an "oh hell no!" expression when he realized he was next and high-tailed it out of there Laughing

"shadow monkey-boy" - this is getting dumb

Talk about shadow-boxing

A classic

Peter Pan is somewhere cracking up at this whole thing

The route to the shadow world looks like an MC Escher drawing

This is one of the best drawn frames of Aladdin in the series

these clowns Laughing

I like that Ayam is entertaining Genie's antics with this baseball game Laughing

Okay, you can just take his shadow. You don't have to destroy his toys.

"you BEAST!!" - man, that is absolutely not what Jasmine was about to call her shadow Laughing

You know, in terms of success rate, this is one of the few times a villain has managed to take out the whole gang

Wait, how does Jasmine know the way to the Shadow Realm? Or Carpet for that matter?

Aladdin: What's the plan?
Genie: Insult Ayam until he gets mad enough to throw a bomb at the gatekeeper of shadows and pray it removes the web and not kill her
Aladdin: Sounds good to me

"I've been tricked" - yeah that happens a lot with you

The end

I know this is the last episode of the series, but I'm going to watch that episode on the Follow Your Dreams DVD with Jasmine, too and maybe do some after thoughts later.

The Great Rift

Aladdin's jobs ranged from ambassador who went to pick up officials, scout who secured and created trade routes, and Indiana Jones Laughing

Is that a hidden mickey?

Aladdin: These symbols look like some sort of puzzle

*presses big button in the middle to open chest*

Aladdin: ah nevermind

Iago willing to fight a hawk over treasure definitely seems late-series Laughing

Oh, Zabar was turned in to a hawk. I thought she was just a furry with a thing for hawk husbands Laughing

This mural is killing me for a number of reasons but none more so than the people running for dear life away from the guy trying to kill them Laughing

This is how they choose to depict their citizens and Jasmine is just like "Agrabah looks glorious!"

"For me it has always been a special place, Jasmine. Everything that's important to me is here. You, the people, and the palace."
This is either after The Ethereal or the sultan is just that dense to not realize this is the answer she was looking for

"Agrabah is my greatest treasure"
Arbitus is somewhere screaming in the afterlife

It gets funnier up-close Laughing

Me: He could feed a lot of people...

Queen Delukah: I'm here for my jewels

*walks right in to the treasure room and no one - not even the guards - stops her*

She looks nothing like her brothers

Something else I should have kept track of: how many times Jasmine calls someone a "monster". That's like her favorite insult.

I like this transition of it being calm and peaceful outside, and then they show the palace and it's like

a mood

This is such a funny shot Laughing

It's bothering me so much she turned in to a purple jewel. Like I get it, purple was a rare color and signified royalty, but......that's not her color, you know? Laughing

when you beef with your siblings so hard you unleash an ancient evil

"Queenie and her no-neck brothers" Laughing

Nice to see the Ends of the Earth have defrosted

I know the people of Agrabah must be like "What in the Thursday afternoon is going on here??" Laughing

Who are you yelling to for help in the middle of the desert?

when you couldn't find it in your heart to smash a jewel and now you're gonna die

Delukah: You can't destroy my emerald!
Aladdin: Sure I can! It's easy!

the way Scott said that "..what?", too, I'm crying Laughing

Of course, just smash it with a hammer. Why didn't he think of that?

Aladdin's vest has pockets?

Random, but Delukah and Zebar's clothing are my favorites in the series of all the foreign lands we've seen

Delukah: Can you ever forgive me?
Zebar: I did a long time ago, my love
A++ character, we needed more of Zebar and less of...idk Malcho. I hope Aladdin got advice from him or something. He's so cool.

Aladdin: King Zebar, Queen Delukah, welcome to Agrabah (but your brothers have got to gtfo)
Speaking of which, did we just...leave them out on the balcony? Laughing

So wait, are we just not going to address they are thousands of years old according to Genie at the beginning of this ep?

Jasmine: MORE WOMEN IN MY LIFE

More Than A Peacock Princess

I have not watched this since it came out in 2007. This should be interesting.

It's such a massive whiplash going from Jasmine's 90s voice to ...whatever they make Linda do now with her voice to sound more Princess-y (which I think is nothing cause if I recall she had to lower it to get the part to begin with)

I love this shot of Jasmine's room though (and the implication she gets a new flower to replace the one Aladdin gave her)

"It happened when Aladdin and Genie were away for a few days" - NO HUMANOID BOYS ALLOWED

EVERY MOMENT RED LETTER

The palace looks really good

A good boy ❤

Carpet helping to open a rug shop lmao

I love that Carpet is riding an elephant cause he can't be bothered to fly while being Jasmine's secretary.

This list tells you absolutely nothing. It's just him checking off boxes Laughing

Girl, this is so ugly

"I speak several languages!" ❤_❤

"I can name every one of the forty thieves!" - Boy do I have something to tell you about that one named "Cassim" Laughing

Literally the only way this episode works is if it's before their wedding.

This is Lea's voice singing this song?! When did Jasmine become a second soprano?!

This is exactly the vibe I feel I'm supposed to get watching this

"I can help the poor" - we're still dealing with that huh? Laughing

This damn song is gonna be stuck in my head now

Jasmine's courtyard has changed a million times over the years

When Aladdin isn't around, Iago does musical numbers with Jasmine

This is exactly how I feel when I draw Laughing

I love that as this episode progresses, Linda and Gilbert start to sound normal again instead of whatever watered down version of their characters they were asked to play

Jasmine really did go from drop kicking sorcerers to standing there looking pretty. Like, maybe they were getting closer to their wedding and Sultan was like "you gotta calm down with all that" and gave her mindless tasks to unwind from her super dangerous lifestyle.

when you've been turned in to a rat, a jewel, a slug, a statue, and a giant snake yet are then expected to have a normal life after that

I just realized they're in the same courtyard as the room Aladdin was staying in when he was Prince Ali

"cousin Sharma" oh look, more women that could have been in Jasmine's life this whole time

Jasmine, looking at this adorable Aladdin-esque child: Father, we have to hire Hakeem
Sultan: But deares--
Jasmine: WE HAVE TO HIRE HAKEEM

Aw, I love the idea of Jasmine's mother having horses still around

Captain of the Guards - did we fire Rasoul or did he finally quit? Laughing

A+++ reference Laughing

I thought Abu went with Aladdin. I was confused when he showed up just now.

I'm guessing this is Jasmine's cousin on her mother's side

Don't trust this, Jasmine. No children are this behaved ever.

This is also a drawing mood Laughing

Jasmine really got a tiger to scare those kids in to behaving Laughing

Aneesa! Ahh, more women ❤❤❤

I love that Jasmine bathes with her earrings and headband still on. Gotta stay cute in the tub.

idk who's room this is but I kinda want a bed like this now

As this episode progresses, it starts to feel more and more like a series ep. Look at the gang ❤

This Judge Judy-esque court show homage is SO mid-2000s Laughing

Iago has always been able to understand Abu. When did he lose the ability?

Abu was about to let this kid lose his job cause he let Sahara out of his gate to get some figs Laughing

"Be strong, never give up, seduce my father for a few hours cause I really gotta find this horse"

Another A+ movie reference with Iago smacking in to the wall Laughing

"I've been riding horses since before I knew how to walk" I love all this new information on Jasmine

Yaaaas Aneesa. Get it girl.

Hmm looks familiar....

"If Carpet comes back without me, tell my father I had to do it. Not just for him, but for me, too" - She acts like she's about to die for real Laughing

I was gonna say shouldn't Sahara cut Jasmine some slack for being the daughter of the only person who he let ride him, but then I remembered he must be like 30 years old so the reason he's like this is because he's cranky.

series-style humor

when you apply the lessons of perseverance to a murderous horse and become its friend

What a gorgeous shot. It's really bugging me out this 30 minute short is animated better than the entirety of the Aladdin series

I just realized this is TWO members of the palace staff in one shot. We went from seeing just the chef to seeing Jasmine and Sultan's immediate help.

"Yep, you guys gotta start taking me seriously now and letting me have more responsibility because the previous years of proving myself wasn't enough"

Ugh, Aladdin and Jasmine's commitment to helping children. I know they probably ended up having their own child/children, but I also want them to just sort of symbolically adopt all the kids of Agrabah and take care of them.

Jasmine: Don't fuck with me, I rode that horse and didn't die

Child: That's right, she rode that horse and didn't die. We can't fuck with her anymore.

You know, this wasn't terrible. It could have been better, but for a Disney Princess-take of the canon it's not horrible.

Witch Way Did She Go

That awkward moment when you just need some salt, but all you got is newt, virgin blood, and griffin talon.

There was such a shortage of 90's heroines who weren't petty towards other women. This friendship is really refreshing, and I kinda wish we got more of it.

Jasmine: Come on, let’s have dinner at the palace. Rajah would enjoy the company.
Eat your heart out, Carole Baskin Laughing

Oh shoot Cloris Leachman voiced Shakata. The others are voiced by Tress MacNeille, who voiced Dot from Animaniacs, Babs Bunny, and Daisy Duck.

I'm getting some serious Sanderson sisters vibes from these 3... OMG... SANDerson. Exclamation

This giant snake sequence is quite reminiscent of 1992...

Sadira: He picks his teeth? Ew! I can’t believe I had a crush on him!
Me: *shrugs* Not stopping me

"Fools! You think you can defeat ___________ " Rolling Eyes

Omg im gonna need an mp3 of genie singing the Blue Danube for my new ringtone

But wait... Are you telling me Genie can undo all of this sand magic architecture? Or is he just like shoving it back into the earth?

This episode is so full of tropes that I hate, and Aladdin and Genie are both unforgivable dicks. I wish the writing were better because I don't hate the general idea?

Chronology: Definitely last Sadira ep, apparently before Genie realizes he can produce water, and I'm gonna say early Aladdin because damn

Another Genie conducting ep!
