On the streets of Agrabah, a poor young street urchin named Aladdin is struggling to steal some food, along with his pet monkey, Abu.

His adventures begin when he spots a mysterious young woman.

To meet her, Aladdin removes her head scarf. It’s Princess Jasmine! She has snuck out of the palace to have some adventures of her own before her father, The Sultan forces her to marry. Despite the improper introduction, Aladdin and Jasmine have an immediate connection. They continue to spend the day together, unaware the evil sorcerer and royal advisor, Jafar is watching from the sidelines.

Jasmine sees some hungry children. She gives them some apples she takes from a merchant’s cart, not realizing she would have to pay for them. A chase ensues!

Jafar and the merchant accuse Aladdin of the theft and exile him into the desert. While wandering, Aladdin and Abu meet Al Tifl the Camel.

Exhausted, tired, and thirsty, Aladdin falls asleep and dreams of Jasmine.

Suddenly, Jafar appears! He tells Aladdin he’ll allow him back in Agrabah if he retrieves a magic lamp for him, hidden deep in the Cave of Wonders.

Aladdin and Abu venture deep into the Cave. It’s filled with gold, jewels, gems, and the Golden Gargoyles, protectors of the Lamp. A Magic Carpet leads Aladdin and Abu to the Lamp’s location.

Aladdin examines the lamp and is surprised to find it a little worn. When he attempts to polish it, a blue genie emerges!

Genie tells Aladdin that for waking him up, Aladdin is entitled to three wishes. After giving it some thought, Aladdin wishes to become a prince in hopes that he can be with Jasmine. And so Genie transforms Aladdin into Prince Ali, and they parade to the Sultan’s Palace.

Little do they know that Jafar has his own plans for Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Lamp.
