History TearJerker / TwistedTheUntoldStoryOfARoyalVizier

** The Captain, who never knew his father and wanted to teach Peter Pan some responsibility so he couldn't end like him

* His AdultFear when the Captain of the Guard announces the Princess has run away. Especially when we learn later on that he is her actual father. His fears that she's in a creep's hands prove valid when the next scene reveals Aladdin "rescued" the Princess from a marketplace vendor.

** A notorious one is Scar, who like the sea witch, was the rightful ruler of the pridelands and managed to end the rivalry between hyenas and lions until his brother overthrew him, who proceeded to ate his cubs and reverted his people into racists.

** Gaston, who lost her love Belle to her kidnapper, the beast. He organized a rescue operation to save her, it was too late, as Belle developed a crush with her captor and refused Gaston's help.

** The [[TokenEvilTeammate only villain who doesn't get any sympathy is]] [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella]], as she really wanted a coat made out of puppies.

* The Parrot in this version is Ja'far's TragicKeepsake from his wife, along with her necklace. And the bird doesn't even appreciate him.

** Her wishes are selfless: wanting to end the war peacefully, to give the Magic Kingdom a wise ruler to restore it to its Golden Age -- not caring if that means she gives up her birthright-- and for Ja'far to have all the happiness in the world, since she can't have him in her life. Ja'far has a SoProudOfYouLook, if bittersweet that after he grants the wishes, he has to return to the Tiger-Head cave.

* The Princess attempts to make her third wish that Ja'far can stay and be her advisor forever (with the implication that she just found out about him being her father), only for Ja'far to do an unexpected CerebusCallback to the original film ("There are some provisos, a few quid pro quo"). She then asks tearfully how she can rule without him helping her.

* The scene where Ja'far has to say goodbye to his pregnant wife as his sultan kidnaps her for his harem. He tries to protect her, but in response, he gets a whipping and his land reform bill is ignored. Ja'far comes close to rebelling against the Sultan and committing treason, because "She's my wife, dammit!" Scheherezade begs him not to throw his life away because the city needs him. She tells him his story is to be a wise vizier who will protect the people and gives him her scarab necklace, reminding him the story of the two lovers: "We will be reunited one day, and unlock wonders beyond your wildest dreams!"

* Dylan himself tears up by the end of the title song.

* ''Happy'' tears at the ending, when Ja'far and Sherrezade are finally reunited for all eternity.

* The Princess attempts to make her third wish that Ja'far can stay and be her advisor forever (with the implication that she just found out about him being her father), only for Ja'far to do an unexpected CerebusCallback to the original film ("There are some provisos, a few quid pro quos").

* Ja'far's utter devastation when he learns the other viziers really are completely corrupt and only interested in making themselves rich at the expense of the common folk.
* As kind and well meaning as Ja'far is, all of the townsfolk hate him and blame him for literally everything [[InsaneTrollLogic including the sun going down at night]]. Made worse by the fact he used to be beloved by the peasantry.

* The Princess attempts to make her third wish that Ja'far can stay and be her advisor forever, only for Ja'far to do an unexpected CerebusCallback to the original film ("There are some provisos, a few quid pro quos").

** "Science says you're dead and gone forever. Reason says I'm talking to the air. But something in my heart, some secret hidden part, illogically insists that you are there..."

* The Princess attempts to make her third wish that Ja'far can stay and be her advisor forever, only for Ja'far to do an unexpected CerebusCallback to the original film ("There are some provisos, some quid pro quos").

* Ja'far for the first time ever allows himself to be selfish: he wants to use the d'jinn to bring his wife back from the dead and "turn back the sands of time". Only, [[Dramaticirony we know he can't succeed at that because rule three is no reviving the dead]].
