History WesternAnimation / AladdinTheSeries

---> Old Woman / Genie: Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we Aladdin/Amin?
---> Aladdin / Amin: Trouble? You're only in trouble if you get caught!

* MythologyGag: "Sneeze The Day" starts out with Amin Damoola running away from the guards (and Aladdin) in a way reminiscent of how Aladdin ran away from the guards in the first movie. It even lifts a familiar exchange from the scene - except of course, in this case Amin ''does'' get caught rather pathetically.
--> Old Woman / Genie: "Getting in trouble a little early today, aren't we Aladdin/Amin?"
--> Aladdin / Amin: "Trouble? You're only in trouble if you get caught!"

The series is animated by eight different animation studios: Sunwoo, South-Korea (21 episodes), Walt Disney Japan (14 episodes), Wang, Taiwan (14 episodes), Kennedy, Canada (12 episodes), Toon City, Philippines (11 episodes), Walt Disney Australia (10 episodes), Guimaraes, Brazil (3 episodes) and Jamie Diaz (1 episode).

--> '''Genie:''' (''After getting blasted by Mirage''') Kids... never play with evil incarnate... someone always gets hurt... (''collapses'')

--> '''Sand Monster''': ''You don't know?!'' You summon forth an ancient evil and now you ''don't know what to do with him?!'' ([[TheStarscream easily steals her object of power and becomes the new]] villain)

--> '''Genie''': (After getting blasted by Mirage) "Kids... never play with evil incarnate... someone always gets hurt..." (collapses)

* WalkingSpoiler: If you didn't see ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' prior to watching the series, you may be confused as to why Iago's one of the good guys and why Genie's no longer travelling around the world. Ironically, the first season aired before ''The Return of Jafar''.

* WhatTheHellHero:
** In "I Never Mechanism I Didn't Like", Mechanikles creates a robot named Gregarius, who infiltrates and hypnotizes everyone in the palace ([[ImmuneToMindControl except Genie and Carpet]]), which makes it all the easier for him to invade and take over Agrabah with no resistance. It finally reaches a point where Genie [[OnlySaneMan has had enough of this insanity]] and tries to talk sense into Aladdin.
---> '''Aladdin:''' Genie! What's the big idea?\\

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: In a less malevolent example, "Power to the Parrot" had Genie's powers be transferred to Iago. He also picks up on Genie's shape-shifting and eccentric goofy mannerisms, while the de-powered Genie loses them and and becomes more morose and depressed. Apparently, possessing semi-phenomenal, nearly-cosmic power makes you a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} by default and it's implied all Genies undergo this because they are beings charged and made of magical energy.

* XanatosGambit: One of Mozenrath's plans involves using Genie as bait for a magic-eating monster, forcing Aladdin to capture said monster in order to save him. One outcome leaves Mozenrath with control over the beast. The other gets Genie out of his way. He does indeed end up with the monster in his possession... for a while.

* YouCantFightFate: An episode has the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Chaos convinced that Fate is on Aladdin's side after hearing about his many victories against impossible odds. This upsets him, to say the least, and that's when the episode gets a little more serious.
-->'''Chaos:''' To always win against such odds, Fate must have smiled on you.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Well, I try not to...brag...
-->'''Chaos:''' But I never liked Fate. Predestination goes against the grain. Besides, he cheats at cards. But if Fate has decreed that Aladdin always wins, what can I do? I mean, where’s the unpredictability in that? I’ve got it! Allow me to produce a little scenario I call “EvilTwin”. I have no problem with Aladdin winning all his battles. The question is, which Aladdin?

** Genie also qualifies. Do ''not'' try to hurt his friends.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Squirt (as Iago calls him), the little magical wallaby-gorilla like creature who Jasmine takes in as her pet in the episode "Scare Necessities". He has the power to grant the wish of whoever scares him, allowing him to run away.
** The Sprites from “Love at First Sprite” and “The Lost City of the Sun” also qualify. Iago even lampshades it in their first appearance.
-->'''Iago:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, just what this group needed. More cuteness.]]
* RoguesGallery: The reoccurring villains of the show include Mozenrath, Abis Mal, Mechanicles, Mirage, Ayam Aghoul

* GoldFever: '''Iago'''. It's even worse in ''Poor Iago'', where he goes for ''three sleepless weeks'' trying to uncover gold dust in a ceiling.

* InsistentTerminology: In “Never Say Nefir”, Aladdin would try to boost Genie’s confidence by reminding him of his “phenomenal cosmic power”, to which Genie would correct with “semi-phenomenal nearly cosmic power”, since his powers were slightly diminished after he was freed.

** In the episode “The Seven Faces of Genie”, Genie’s Anger is this personified. Literally ''anything and everything'' will set him off. Abis Mal learned that the hard way.
-->'''Anger!Genie:''' [[NoIndoorVoice POINT THAT BEARD AT ME AGAIN, AND I’LL]] '''''[[DisproportionateRetribution RIP YOUR SPINE OUT!!!]]'''''

** In "The Game", Genie is tired of losing to Carpet whenever they play a game.

'''Genie:''' [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter LIKE]] ''[[LetsSeeYouDoBetter YOU]]'' [[LetsSeeYouDoBetter COULD DO ANY BETTER!]]\\

* BenevolentGenie: Eden; when Dondi's first wish is for a sandwich, Eden allows her to take it back, and convinces her to wish to never be hungry again.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In “Seems Like Old Crimes Part 2”, Fatima gets angry when she found out she and her partners captured Jasmine instead of Aladdin by mistake.

--> '''Fatima:''' ''(shocked)'' ... I... !? ... I...

* EvilDetectingDog: In one episode, Sadira attempts to swap herself with Jasmine, becoming a princess while Jasmine becomes a street rat. Thanks to her RealityWarper level magic, everyone (including ''Genie'') is fooled except the animals; Rajah, Abu, and Iago. The three spend the rest of the episode playing CassandraTruth until ThePowerOfLove breaks the spell.

--> '''Sand Monster''': "''You don't know?!'' You summon forth an ancient evil and now you ''don't know what to do with him?!"'' ([[TheStarscream easily steals her object of power and becomes the new]] villain)

* ImmuneToMindControl: Genie and Carpet in the episode “I Never Mechanism I Didn’t Like”, due to them being magical.

* WatchingTheSunset: In "The Sands of Fate," Aladdin stops in the middle of a mission to watch the sun set over a picturesque canyon. As Iago points out, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome desert temperatures drop below freezing at night]], so they should be getting to shelter instead of staring at the sky.

* DePower: As a side-effect of being freed, the Genie has gone from having [[RealityWarper "Phenomenal Cosmic Powers"]] in the film to only possessing "''Semi''-Phenomenal, ''Nearly'' Cosmic Powers" in the series. His magic is still useful, but each episode he gets hit with one of three restrictions on his StoryBreakerPower. Either he's [[TheWorfEffect weaker than the villain]], he wastes his time being a CloudCuckoolander and makes things worse, or the villain's magic is incompatible with his ("you can't mix magics"). This is a NecessaryWeasel to keep the genie from being an answer to all of Aladdin's recurring foes.

* BalefulPolymorph: Over the course of the series, Aladdin becomes a shark, the Sultan becomes a small gold statue, and Iago becomes a genie (when he acquires Genie's powers), a [[TakenForGranite stone statue]], a human woman, a frilled lizard and had his head turned into Creator/GilbertGottfried 's. Jasmine becomes a rat, an ugly snake creature, a small purple jewel, and (in the span of ten seconds) a koala, a carrot, and the Mona Lisa. But Abu holds the crown for being the victim of so many transformations (due to Genie) that listing them all would be pointless. Other examples include a woman who turns into a jackal in the moonlight (and her husband who was changed into a magical treasure). One of Aladdin's friends becomes a monster due to Mirage.

** Minos and Fatima, a pair of villains from Aladdin's past wind up being redeemed ''and'' cured of their {{Baleful Polymorph}}s through ThePowerOfLove.

* ShopliftAndDie: Fasir, on occasion, runs a mystic's shop in dark corners of the marketplace. He doesn't take kindly to shoplifters, as Jasmine found out the hard way. She was in disguise and planning on coming back later to pay, not that it mattered to the artifact she stole. [[BalefulPolymorph She spends the rest of the episode in the form of a rat.]] Though knowing [[StealthMentor Fasir,]] it's just as possible he knew all along and was intentionally teaching her a lesson.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Jasmine is usually immune to comedic misfortune, with things that might be funny when happening to other characters being played a bit more seriously when happening to her, but certain episodes do avert that - for example, in "Sneeze the Day" Genie gets sick and loses control of his powers. Aladdin and Iago go off to find a cure, leaving Jasmine behind to be the brunt of a bunch of gags as Genie's magic goes crazy. And then of course there's [[BalefulPolymorph "Do The Rat Thing."]] In general, Sadira is a bit more prone to getting into goofy situations as well. Even ''Mirage'' gets subjected to this by Genie or Chaos.

* NotMeThisTime: In "Witch Way Did She Go?", the heroes fight with [[{{Golem}} sand snakes]] and think that Sadira sent them (while she seems to do HeelFaceTurn, but they don't fully trust her). Actually, it were three ancient sand witches who did it; Sadira accidentally freed them when she spilt her [[ItMakesSenseInContext half-soup, half-potion]] on the sand.

* MagicEater: The thirdak, a creature from AnotherDimension that eats magic, which is why Mozenrath wants a ''non''-magical hero to catch it for him. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard It doesn't end well]] once Aladdin figures out that the thirdak just wants to go home and, more importantly, that Mozenrath is an EvilSorcerer intent on using it to attack cities.
