History TearJerker / Aladdin

* Jasmine is willing to forgive Aladdin for lying about his identity because she knows he pretended to be a prince so that they could be together. She angrily curses the law and admits her love for Aladdin. It must have been so frustrating for Jasmine in the end. She finally found someone she truly loved and wanted to marry but couldn't because of an unfair law. Forunately, the Sultan remembers ''he'' makes the laws, and immediately changes it.

* Meta example: the [[http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-robin-williams-20140812-story.html death]] of Creator/RobinWilliams, the original voice of Genie.
** Genie's final in-movie line has a [[FunnyAneurysmMoment sadder connotation now]]: "I'm history! No, I'm mythology! Oh I don't care what I am, I'm free!"
** As does, "Genie, you're free" and "Y'ain't never had a friend like me!"
** Even with Williams and Disney's known feuds, [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/briangalindo/disneys-touching-tribute-to-robin-williams they released a touching artwork from the supervising animator for Genie]]. It's a perfect example of Tear Jerker and Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
** The weekend following Williams' death, Disney aired the film commercial free on all of its networks as a tribute. The broadcast ended with artwork above being shown before the end credits, with the caption "In memory of Robin Williams, who made us laugh." Disney has even considered using that in all future home video and television releases of the film (however, the [[Creator/WaltDisneyHomeVideo Diamond Edition]] of ''Aladdin'', at least on digital platforms such as Disney Movies Anywhere, omitted the artwork).
*** If you wanted to get cynical, you could accuse Disney of using it as one final cash-in on the Genie now that Robin Williams couldn't complain, but you could also point out that by this stage everybody who mattered knew about the rift between Williams and Disney, and they really didn't have to risk being accused of this either.

* After Jafar's lamp is destroyed and Jafar is defeated in ''The Return of Jafar'', Aladdin and his friends become sad thinking Iago is dead.

* After her escape plan has spectacularly failed, Jasmine weeps in her garden, believing that she's the one responsible for the execution of the boy who saved her life in the marketplace. [[EmpathyPet Rajah]] comes over to comfort her, and she says, "I didn't even know his name!" Think for a moment about how this ''feels'' for her: making a deep connection with a stranger, then losing him in the same day and believing that it's all her fault.

** This bit of dialogue:
-->'''Aladdin:''' "Genie, I'm - I'm gonna miss you..."
-->'''Genie:''' "Me too, Al."

** 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.

*** As does, "Genie, you're free" and "Y'ain't never had a friend like me!"

* Meta example: the [[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Williams#Death death]] of Creator/RobinWilliams, the original voice of Genie.

* After Jafar's lamp is destroyed and Jafar is defeated in ''The Return of Jafar'', Aladdin and his friends become sad thinking Iago is dead.
* In ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'' Aladdin and Jasmine are ''finally'' married and share their first kiss as husband and wife, the crowd parts as they walk back up the aisle, and standing in the back is Aladdin's father.
-->'''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.
* Aladdin after he realizes his father still wants to go after the treasure. He sounds like he's trying hard not to cry. He had gotten his hopes up so much about his father, thinking of all the things they might have in common, only to be dashed.
* The falling out Aladdin and Cassim have later in the film. Aladdin refuses to abandon Jasmine like his father abandoned his mother. He calls Cassim out for it and you can tell it really strikes a nerve. Aladdin and Cassim both had high hopes of sharing a life with each other only to realize they are nothing alike. He then returns his hand of Midas dagger, symbolically disowning his father.
