* The reprise of "Prince Ali", remade into a VillainSong. After Jafar uses his newfound powers to revert Aladdin and Abu back to their real selves, then sends them flying far to the ends of the Earth, Genie could only watch helplessly as his friends get banished. It is alarming to see the happy-go-lucky Genie in despair as he was forced to watch his friends suffer, and despite the powers he wields, he is unable to do anything no matter how much he wants to as he is bound by the rules of the lamp.

**It's really sad because of the way Aladdin is judged simply because of his status in life. Everyone treats him like scum because he is a street child.

*** A heartbreaking Fridge TearJerker in the history of the song? This was one of the last songs Howard Ashman wrote before his death...and his mother outlived him. Looking at it as an apology for dying before her makes the song even sadder.

-->'''Cassim''': "Even a wanted man can risk a bit to see his own son's wedding.""
** And earlier on in ''King of Thieves'', when Cassim explains to Aladdin how he set out to chase the Hand of Midas, but when he finally returned, his wife was dead and his son was gone, so he went back to the only thing he believed he had left. Just the way Cassim talks about his wife alone, is ''heartwrenching''.
-->'''Cassim:''' I knew exactly what I wanted for my family; the best. I couldn't give up and go back empty-handed! But, the weeks turned into months, and the months turned into years... I came back to Agrabah one night, but I couldn't find my wife... or my son. I thought my family was lost forever. At that moment, I would have traded ''anything'' to get your mother back.
