| 3 | ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'' is the final installment in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' series, following on from ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries''. It was originally released DirectToVideo on August 13, 1996. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Aladdin and Jasmine are finally about to get married. Everyone is overjoyed, but Aladdin is saddened by the fact that none of his family can be present, as his mother died when he was young and his father left the family. At the same time, the Forty Thieves is plotting to raid the ceremony and steal all the valuables. The thieves are fought off, after which the heroes discover that they were after a specific artifact -- a staff containing an oracle spirit who will truthfully answer a single question. Aladdin discovers that his father has long been trapped in the world of the Forty Thieves, and goes on a quest to rescue him. |

| 7 | !!''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'' provides examples of: |
| 8 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 9 | |
| 10 | [[folder:#-H]] |
| 11 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 12 | ** In an attempt to cheer up Jasmine, [[Creator/RobinWilliams Genie]] takes on the role of an [[Film/MrsDoubtfire elderly British nanny]]. |
| 13 | ** When Sa'luk is [[spoiler:turned into a gold statue, he's frozen with both his hands raised in the air]]. This mimics the typical pose of [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Lumiere]], another Disney character voiced by Creator/JerryOrbach. |
| 14 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: |
| 15 | ** Aladdin actually smiles when Genie tries to throw a bachelor party for him and gently refuses. Later, he's amused when Genie starts talking about the wedding flowers and completely misses the entire crowd of guests standing in front of him. |
| 16 | ** Genie cheers up Jasmine by creating a lot of matrimonial magic, including the Marx brothers and talking about new colors, including literal salmon. She chuckles and says, "I don't think so" when he dresses up as an Elvis impersonator and turns the main hall into a Las Vegas chapel. |
| 17 | * AesopAmnesia: Razoul, between this movie and the TV series. The series had several episodes that dealt with Razoul and Aladdin slowly overcoming their previous animosity and Razoul coming to accept the idea of Aladdin as the future Sultan, including "Mudder's Day", "The Return of Malcho" and "Destiny on Fire". This movie has Razoul back to hating Aladdin and resenting the idea of a street rat marrying the princess. |
| 18 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Aladdin finds Sa'luk's death - that is transforming his entire self into solid gold after touching the Hand of Midas - rather gruesome.]] |
| 19 | * AllAsiansKnowMartialArts: One of the Forty thieves is a Mongolian who does kung fu moves. |
| 20 | * AncestralWeapon: Aladdin owns a blade that belonged to Cassim. He uses it to [[LukeYouAreMyFather prove who he is to Cassim]], and then he uses it in his DuelToTheDeath against Sa'luk. |
| 21 | * AndThisIsFor: "''That'' was for ruining my wedding!" when Jasmine punches out one of the thieves. |
| 22 | * AndTheAdventureContinues: In the end, Aladdin and Jasmine go off on their honeymoon while Cassim and Iago are seen RidingIntoTheSunset. Before both parties separate, they give an enthusiastic wave to each other. |
| 23 | * AnimationBump: Particularly the opening and climax, which comes very close to rivaling the original in animation quality, and is several levels above that seen in ''The Return of Jafar'' and the series. |
| 24 | * AntiVillain: Cassim, Aladdin's father and [[KingOfThieves King of the Forty Thieves.]] He has been stealing valuables for near on 20 years and obsessed with finding an ancient treasure, but he did it so he could provide for his wife and son. When he couldn't find his family anymore after returning, he became trapped in the criminal world as [[TrappedInVillainy he couldn't leave the gang without getting killed]] and it was all he had left. [[spoiler:He abandons his quest at the end and attends Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding, albeit from the shadows.]] |
| 25 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Iago gets back to the palace and warns the others of what Sa'luk has done, Aladdin is uninterested in helping Cassim, though he is soon made to reconsider that. |
| 26 | -->'''Genie:''' Al, I know your dad made a lot of bad choices, but that doesn't mean ''you'' have to.\ |
| 27 | '''Jasmine:''' He is your father. How can you do anything else? |
| 28 | * ArtisticLicenseHistory: One of the highlighted thieves in Cassim's band is a Mongol... ''who is also a master of kung fu!'' Obviously this isn't impossible, but there wasn't much room for hand-to-hand martial arts in military training under Genghis Khan and his successors, as you would expect from an army that did most of its fighting (even its swordplay) on horseback. Portraying the Mongol as an archer would have been more accurate, but long-range tactics don't seem to suit the Forty Thieves' style. The Hand of Midas is an artifact inspired by Greek mythology, interestingly, there is a very popular amulet in Arabia called Hausa or Hand of Fatima. |
| 29 | * AscendedFridgeHorror: In a FreezeFrameBonus, Aladdin gives his father a shocked look on seeing the BatmanGambit Cassim pulls to save Aladdin from Sa'Luk; [[spoiler:tossing the Hand of Midas to Sa'Luk, knowing that Sa'Luk would catch it with his bare hands. Which means Aladdin figured out that Cassim willingly committed murder to save his son]]. |
| 30 | * BadassCrew: The Forty Thieves. In the words of the palace guards, "They fight like demons!" "Worse than demons.....these are ''The Forty Thieves''!" |
| 31 | * BaitAndSwitchComment: The Genie does this twice. |
| 32 | ** This exchange when Genie learns Aladdin's father is the King of Thieves, it looks as if Genie is going to antagonize Cassim, but then just asks him what he wants to eat at the wedding. |
| 33 | --->'''Genie:''' ''(menacingly)'' If you're Al's dad, and the King of Thieves, I just wanna know one thing... ''(morphs into a waiter)'' [[BrickJoke Will you be having the chicken or the sea bass?]] |
| 34 | ** Later, Aladdin confides in Genie that [[ExactWords the Oracle saying that Cassim was "trapped in the world" of the Forty Thieves]] was true, just not the way he thought. Instead, Cassim is TrappedInVillainy, and Aladdin calls himself stupid for trying to change Cassim. Genie assures Aladdin that trying to show his father a better life wasn't stupid. But leaving Cassim alone with Iago, who is TheCorrupter and even more greedy than Cassim is? ''That'' was stupid. |
| 35 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:Cassim disposes of Sa'Luk by throwing the Hand of Midas to him, banking on the fact that Sa'Luk would catch the solid gold hand rather than the handle. That is indeed what happens, which gets Sa'Luk [[TakenForGranite turned into a gold statue]] and out of the heroes' way.]] |
| 36 | * BattleAmongstTheFlames: Aladdin's duel with Sa'luk winds up becoming this when Aladdin gets backed up into a brazier that gets tipped over, giving the scene a hellish light. |
| 37 | * BigBad: Cassim is in this role for the first part of the movie as the leader of the Forty Thieves, but after Aladdin introduces himself to his father he becomes more noble, and his authority is gradually usurped by Sa'luk who becomes the main bad guy. |
| 38 | * BigEntrance: The Thieves' arrival at the first wedding attempt is heralded by a stampede. |
| 39 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Iago and Cassim. Not only have both of them been vulnerable to bad influences (Jafar and the Forty Thieves respectively) that have left them "not ''so'' good" but they both truly care about Aladdin. [[spoiler:They end up leaving Agrabah to travel the world together at the end of the movie with both of them having a companion that they can trust.]] |
| 40 | * BittersweetEnding: After countless trials and tribulations, Aladdin and Jasmine are finally married, ready to retire as adventurers and focus on ruling Agrabah. Iago leaves his friends in Agrabah to go with Cassim on adventures, since he doesn't want to be confined to the palace with the newlyweds. Cassim, now freed from the Forty Thieves, has a companion he can trust in Iago. However, in spite of all of that, [[spoiler:Aladdin and Cassim aren't likely to see each other again, given how Cassim is a wanted fugitive in the city that his son is going to rule. It's implied the Sultan commuted Cassim's sentence to exile from Agrabah rather than a life sentence in jail. But in any case, the peace made between Aladdin and Cassim may very well be the last time they ever cross paths again.]] |
| 41 | * BladeBrake: During his fight with Sa'luk, Aladdin is thrown over the side of a cliff, and uses his father's knife to coast to a small ledge. Sa'luk gives chase using his WolverineClaws. |
| 42 | * BloodlessCarnage: Sa'luk slashes Aladdin's arm with his WolverineClaws during their duel, but due to the latter wearing sleeves in this scene, the injury is not visible [[note]]The scene ''was'' originally animated with a bloodstain on Aladdin's sleeve, but this was [[{{Bowdlerise}} edited out]] before release.[[/note]] |
| 43 | * BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Sa'luk is transformed, while screaming loudly, into a solid gold statue.]] |
| 44 | * BookEnds: |
| 45 | ** ''King of Thieves'' ends just like the first movie started, with the Peddler singing "Arabian Nights" (though a variant thereof), while saying that the story is over and [[AndTheAdventureContinues bidding the viewer farewell "until another Arabian night"]]. |
| 46 | ** ''Aladdin'' opens up its story with a robed man and a bird on horseback. ''King of Thieves'' likewise ends the story with similar imagery but with a more chivalrous look. Instead of Iago and Jafar riding out to meet a ruffian, Cassim and Iago are riding off to have more adventures. |
| 47 | * BouquetToss: The TriumphantReprise of Arabian nights starts with Jasmine doing this. The Genie shows up to catch it, in multiple lady forms, but Razoul ends up with the bouquet. He's pleasantly surprised. |
| 48 | * BrickJoke: |
| 49 | ** "Will you be having the chicken or the sea bass?" Genie asks this once he learns about Aladdin's father owning a dagger, then pulls a BaitAndSwitch to ask Cassim this in person when he shows up to Agrabah. |
| 50 | ** Genie using Carpet as a tissue after TryingNotToCry (and failing at it) at the wedding. When Aladdin and Jasmine finally get married at the end, it looks like it’s gonna happen again, only for Carpet to grab and handkerchief at the last second and hold it out to Genie. |
| 51 | ** In reference to the first movie, Abu's got a sword to defend himself, but instead of running, he tosses it up to bring a chandelier down on some of the 40 thieves. |
| 52 | ** Less joking, but during the wedding invasion, Sa'luk says that "Cassim said nothing about facing the powers of a genie!" before he leads the other thieves in escaping. Later, it's confirmed that Cassim didn't ''know'' about Genie, as he reacts with surprise when he finds out Aladdin knows one who was fixing up the palace for him. |
| 53 | * CaveMouth: Much like the Cave of Wonders from the original, there's a huge turtle whose mouth is like a cave. |
| 54 | * CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: The plot is Aladdin and his conflict with the Forty Thieves. |
| 55 | * ChekhovsGun: Cassim's NeverHurtAnInnocent creed ends up being used against him; Sa'Luk reminds the remaining thieves that, loyal or not, Cassim made them all "go soft" and they should return to their nasty roots. |
| 56 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: |
| 57 | ** When Aladdin says he needs something before the wedding, Genie winks at him and sets up the hideout for a bachelor party, handing out mugs to Abu and Iago. Aladdin smiles and says that's not what he meant. |
| 58 | ** After Cassim convinces the thieves to let Aladdin face their initiation challenge, Sa'Luk volunteers to be the one to [[DeadlyEuphemism "test"]] him. Iago doesn't realise that they're actually talking about a DuelToTheDeath. |
| 59 | -->'''Iago:''' A test, huh? Well that's not so bad. Maybe it'll be multiple choice. |
| 60 | * CompanyCrossReferences: Among Genie's impersonations are several characters from other Disney films, such as [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinkerbell]], WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, and [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Pumbaa]]. |
| 61 | * ContinuityNod: |
| 62 | ** Several characters from the animated series appear in the crowd at Aladdin and Jasmine's final wedding: Sadira, Prince Uncouthma, King Mamoud and Captain Merc being the most visible at the very front of the crowd. |
| 63 | ** One of the Forty Thieves looks like a member of Abis Mal's gang. It could be the same person. |
| 64 | * ContrivedCoincidence: Aladdin angsts over his DisappearedDad not being able to come to his wedding, having not mentioned either of his parents before this point to any of the other characters (which Genie acknowledges). That same day, the wedding is raided by the Forty Thieves, who just happen to be led by Aladdin's father. |
| 65 | * CouldntFindATissue: Genie is crying TearsOfJoy at Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding, and blows his nose into the Magic Carpet. Subsequently the wedding is interrupted, but at the end of the movie, Aladdin and Jasmine finally get married for real: as they do, the tearful Genie once again prepares to blow his nose into Carpet, but Carpet hands him a handkerchief just in time. |
| 66 | * CurbStompBattle: Sa'luk fights all seven remaining thieves single-handedly and wipes the floor with them mid-song in "Are You In or Out?". |
| 67 | * DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Subverted; even though Aladdin is sympathetic to Cassim wanting to support his wife and child, he calls him out for leaving in the first place. |
| 68 | * DarkerAndEdgier: With a truly despicable villain, very intense {{Fight Scene}}s, and [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath easily one of the most disturbing deaths in a Disney movie]], ''King Of Thieves'' is much darker in tone than ''Return Of Jafar'', and arguably even darker than the first film at times. It also has very explicit commentary relating to organized crime, with surprisingly strong parallels to the modern western variety. |
| 69 | * DeathByMaterialism: The villain dies as a result of his own greed. [[spoiler:Cassim throws Sa'luk the Hand of Midas in the climax to protect Aladdin from him. Too late does Sa'luk realize that touching it will turn him too into gold.]] |
| 70 | * DidntSeeThatComing: None of the Forty Thieves knew about Genie, which is why they decide to [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat end their attack on the wedding]] once they see what they're up against. |
| 71 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Pointed out by Iago when Aladdin thinks that he, Iago, Abu, and Carpet have the Forty Thieves trapped. Iago goes "We?!" and counters that they're outnumbered and the Forty Thieves are the bad guys. He's proven right when [[spoiler:the Forty Thieves swiftly capture them after Aladdin reveals himself in a bid to rescue Cassim]]. |
| 72 | * DigitalDestruction: All home video releases from 2005 onward have the top and bottom cropped off to horizontally fill a 16X9 TV (specifically, a 1.85:1 ratio on the 2005 DVD, which still has smaller black bars on top and bottom, and a 1.78:1 ratio on the 2016 Blu-ray and DVD, which don't have such bars). |
| 73 | * DisappearedDad: Cassim. Trends into DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou, as he left with the intention of securing a fortune for his wife and son. He refused to return empty-handed and by the time he did, he couldn't find his loved ones. He "disappeared" for good because as far as he knew, he had no family left. Even so, Aladdin calls him out for leaving in the first place. |
| 74 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted to start with, as Sa'Luk survives after Aladdin causes him to fall off a cliff. [[spoiler:Sa'Luk's actual death later in the film plays with this trope, as he's killed by being turned into a gold statue by the Hand of Midas, with the statue falling from the platform and sinking into the water below.]] |
| 75 | * DuelToTheDeath: As part of the Forty Thieves' initiation challenge, new recruits must fight and kill one of the thieves, then take their place in the group. |
| 76 | * DrowningPit: Genie gets "carried away" in Aladdin's words when tickling the turtle. Cassim goes OhCrap when the ground shakes and they get knocked down; he reminds Aladdin that if the turtle is irritated, it dives as a vanishing isle. They have to get to higher ground when the treasure room starts flooding. Fortunately, it slows down long enough for Aladdin to get the Hand of Midas safely, and for Cassim to test it out. They make it out just a little damp. |
| 77 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: It took three movies and an entire animated series for Aladdin and Jasmine to finally tie the knot. Even then, just before it happened, Aladdin had to learn his father was alive, make peace with him, go on one last adventure, and defeat the legendary Forty Thieves to do it. But with all of that done, Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding manages to go off without a hitch, they're finally married, and the street peddler who began the entire franchise in the Agrabah market says "that's the end" of the story. |
| 78 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 79 | ** Mentioned by Cassim. He says that he added an edict that the Forty Thieves should NeverHurtAnInnocent, reducing their crimes to petty theft and burglary. Sa'Luk hated this apparently, calling Cassim "soft" for this. Cassim also refuses to abide by the code to kill "trespassers" when they're family, using a loophole to buy Aladdin some time. |
| 80 | ** The remaining Seven Thieves look worried for Sa'Luk when Aladdin manages to knock him down at the beginning of their fight. They also seem relieved to see him alive, if shocked that he survived falling off a cliff. It's only when he claims that Cassim sold them out that they drop the civility. |
| 81 | * EvilVirtues: The Forty Thieves outside [[AxCrazy Sa'luk]] have one notable virtue -- Loyalty. Even when Sa'luk convinces the remaining Seven Thieves to betray Cassim, they are still loyal to each other. [[spoiler:So Cassim adjusts his sales pitch with the VillainSong "Are You In or Out?" by reminding the Thieves how much better things were when Cassim wasn't there]]. |
| 82 | * ExactWords: The Oracle said Cassim was "trapped in the world of the Forty Thieves." Aladdin took that to mean he was their prisoner. But the truth was more figurative; it was more like he was TrappedInVillainy, and by his own greed. Later on, Aladdin confesses to Genie that the Oracle was right, [[MetaphoricallyTrue just not in the way he had first believed]]. |
| 83 | * EyebrowWaggle: WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} does one at Jasmine at the end of ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'' when they fly off on the magic carpet to their honeymoon. |
| 84 | * FacePalm: Aladdin and Iago both start rubbing their temples when Genie shows off his "Code Red" sequence. They also look entirely unsurprised. |
| 85 | * FadeAroundTheEyes: Sa'luk does it at the end of his VillainSong, "Are You In or Out?" At the end of the song, a fiery background appears out of nowhere around his face, and when the fire goes out, everything goes black except for his eyes and teeth, which then fade away. |
| 86 | * FailedASpotCheck: Cassim's pre-planning of the Wedding job. Despite how famous Al and company have become at this point, the King of Thieves somehow overlooked that they'd potentially be going up against a team of heroes that included, among other things, a freed Genie. A pissed Sa'Luk lampshades this failure. |
| 87 | * FallingChandelierOfDoom: Thanks to Abu, several bad guys are chunked in the head by a chandelier. |
| 88 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Sa'Luk gets transformed into pure gold by inadvertently touching the Hand of Midas, and sinks to the bottom of the treasure room.]] |
| 89 | * FatBastard: Zigzagged with the fat member of the Forty Thieves. He does have a somewhat ruthless stare and take part in their general robberies but he's also notably one of the first members of the group to fight Sa'Luk when he tries to rally the others during "Are You In Or Out" and is the last of those thieves to come around to Sa'Luk's thinking (and, with the possible exception of the Mongolian thief, the only one to do so without any CardCarryingVillain dialogue). |
| 90 | * FinaleMovie: The film serves as the conclusion to Disney's take on ''Franchise/{{Aladdin}}'' by having him meet his father, finally marry Jasmine, and stetle down with her to end their story on a high note. The street peddler even provides some BookEnds to end the tale, adding "that's the end!" to make sure the audience knows that Aladdin's story is over. |
| 91 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Aladdin jumps across the chasm to retrieve the Hand Of Midas, Cassim carefully warns him not to touch the golden hand itself. We find out why in this same scene as Sa'Luk is [[spoiler:[[BodyHorror painfully transformed into a golden statue]]]]. |
| 92 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: When Cassim is explaining the story of The Hand of Midas to Aladdin, he shows him the proof of its existence; a ship which is resting in an underground lake within the lair, that had been touched by the Hand and turned to solid gold. Aladdin angrily points out that in being turned to gold by the Hand, the ship had been sunk. [[spoiler:During the climax, when Cassim realizes that his pursuit of the Hand wasn't worth leaving his family, he calls the spell on the Hand of Midas a curse and throws it to the sea. This causes it to strike the boat the remaining members of the Forty Thieves were on, leaving them to marvel as the boat turns to gold before their eyes... and then sinks from beneath them.]] |
| 93 | * FrameUp: Played with. [[spoiler:Sa'Luk frames Cassim for the raid that captures most of the Forty Thieves, even though it was Sa'Luk himself that sold them out. However, in a subversion, the frame-up doesn't work. The remaining Thieves are still loyal to Cassim and know how much Sa'Luk hates him, so they think Sa'Luk is scapegoating Cassim as a power grab now that the Thieves' backs are against the wall. Seeing that this angle doesn't work, Sa'Luk adjusts his sales pitch to convince the Thieves how much better their lives were before Cassim showed up, and ''that'' works.]] |
| 94 | * FreezeFrameBonus: |
| 95 | ** If you meticulously pause "Welcome to the Forty Thieves" scene carefully, you can count precisely 39 thieves with Aladdin as the 40th. Makes sense after seeing his initiation required him to [[spoiler: kill one of the previous members.]] |
| 96 | ** During the initiation fight, Sa'Luk slashes Aladdin's arm with his WolverineClaws. [[http://caps.pictures/199/6-aladdin-king-thieves/full/aladdin-king-disneyscreencaps.com-3605.jpg The next shot]] is cast in dark shadow as Aladdin is clutching his arm, with a dark spot resembling blood being seen where the injury was. |
| 97 | ** When Sa'Luk catches the Hand Of Midas, there are several small golden twinkles around his body before [[spoiler:he's actually transformed into a statue]]. |
| 98 | * FriendOrIdolDecision: Cassim finds and takes the Hand of Midas with help from Aladdin, but his treacherous former underling Sa'luk crashes the party and threatens to kill Aladdin unless Cassim hands it over. Cassim could very well escape with the Hand and leave Aladdin to his fate, but he throws the Hand to Sa'luk, knowing full well that he would be TakenForGranite. The end result is that neither he nor Sa'luk can claim the Hand, but it saves his son's life. |
| 99 | * GangInitiationFight: The thieves have a ceremony called The Challenge, where the applicant has to fight one of their members to the death and take their place. In order to save his son's life after he discovers their hideout, Cassim suggests Aladdin partake in it, prompting Sa'Luk to volunteer as his opponent. |
| 100 | * GoodIsNotSoft: Cassim is "not too good" a guy, but he is honorable and has compassion for others, which means Sa'luk regularly derides him as weak and pathetic. [[spoiler:During the climax, Cassim brings about Sa'luk's demise in order to protect Aladdin and gives an unflinching stare the entire time.]] |
| 101 | * GrandFinale: This movie chronologically serves as the ending for the ''Aladdin'' franchise at Disney. Aladdin would make one more appearance on a crossover episode of the ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' series after the events of this film, but the ending song of this movie confirms "that's the end" as sung by the street peddler who introduced the original movie. The way he waves goodbye to Aladdin and Jasmine indicates that as far as he's concerned, the story is over. |
| 102 | * HappilyMarried: At the end, Aladdin and Jasmine ''finally'' have a successful wedding. Iago joins Cassim in WalkingTheEarth because he doesn't want to be around for "newlywed lovey dovey" stuff. |
| 103 | * HardTruthAesop: |
| 104 | ** Sometimes, people can't change who they've turned out to be, no matter how much they may want to. Even it's for the sake of a loved one. They might not be the person you want them to be, but that doesn't mean they don't love you all the same. |
| 105 | ** [[KnowWhenToFoldEm You need to know when it's time to give up]]. Being a {{determinator}} to achieve your goals sounds like a good thing in a vacuum, but [[DetrimentalDetermination never quitting, even against all evidence that it's not going to work]] and that it's just causing misery to everyone around you, is just going to cause more pain in the end. And even if you somehow manage to get what you want, [[WasItReallyWorthIt you may find yourself wondering if it was worth all that trouble]]. |
| 106 | * HeyCatch: In the climax Sa'luk threatens to kill Aladdin in front of Cassim if he doesn't hand over the Hand of Midas. Cassim throws the magical object in Sa'luk's direction, who catches it with his bare hands--and is immediately [[TakenForGranite turned into a gold statue]]. |
| 107 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Regardless of the fact that Aladdin is Cassim's son, Sa'luk quickly declares that Al is still an intruder. Though being Cassim's son no doubt makes him more determined. |
| 108 | -->'''Sa'Luk''': Blood or mud, the boy is an intruder, and we have rules about intruders. He has found our secret lair. He has seen too much. He must die. They must ALL die! |
| 109 | -->'''Iago''': ''DIE?!'' He's your son! I'm his friend! CAST A VOTE FOR MERCY HERE! |
| 110 | * HoistHeroOverHead: Sal'uk does this to Aladdin before tossing him off the cliff during the Challenge. |
| 111 | * HollywoodDensity: Averted. When the Hand Of Midas turns objects into gold, they become just as heavy as solid gold would be in reality. |
| 112 | * HonorBeforeReason: After breaking Cassim out of prison at Agrabah and getting discovered in the process, Aladdin has the chance to run away with Cassim. But reminded of his father abandoning him and refusing to put Jasmine through the same, he willingly returns to Agrabah, deciding to accept the consequences of his actions. |
| 113 | * HopeSpot: Sa'Luk tries to turn the remaining Seven Thieves against Cassim by claiming he betrayed them to the palace guards. The remaining thieves refuse to believe it because "the King of Thieves is loyal to the end" and try to fight him for the first part of his VillainSong. Then Sa'Luk beats them to a pulp and reminds them that before Cassim came along they were more ruthless. All the thieves remember they have fun being evil and violent, and plan a mutiny. |
| 114 | [[/folder]] |
| 115 | |
| 116 | [[folder:I-N]] |
| 117 | * IdiotBall: |
| 118 | ** Cassim grabs it by trying to steal the Oracle during the private wedding ceremony. He knows his son and in-laws are expecting him, and he could always try another time, or simply ''ask'' Aladdin if he can ask the Oracle a question. Oh, and it turns out the guards set a trap to catch him red-handed. |
| 119 | ** When Aladdin's beating himself up over thinking he could change Cassim and his greed, Genie reassures him that trying to show his father a better life ''wasn't'' stupid. Leaving Cassim alone with [[TheCorrupter Iago]], on the other hand? Now ''that'' was stupid. |
| 120 | * IHaveNoSon: After Cassim and Aladdin's bitter falling out. |
| 121 | -->'''Cassim:''' I would never cut my men out the deal. They're my family, my only family. |
| 122 | * ImpactSilhouette: Inverted when the thieves start an elephant stampede at the wedding. Wreckage ensues, so Genie grows to giant size and braces his hands and feet against the ceiling to hold it up. Not long after that, the entire roof has collapsed except for a Genie-shaped overhang. |
| 123 | -->'''Genie:''' ''[looks at his silhouette]'' I guess there's really no point to this now. |
| 124 | * ImplacableMan: Sa'Luk is thrown off a cliff into the sea by Aladdin and attacked by big toothy sharks. He walks back to the shore, having knocked out the shark with his bare hands. |
| 125 | * InfernalBackground: At the end of "[[VillainSong Are You In or Out?]]", flames appear behind Sa'luk and some of his minions, which leads to a FadeAroundTheEyes when the flames go out at the end of the song. |
| 126 | * {{Irony}}: To prevent the ceremonies from being stormed, Genie creates a complex security system and response team to handle the forty thieves. Cassim, with Aladdin having vouched for him, tries to steal the Oracle by simply walking in during the festivities. |
| 127 | * ItOnlyWorksOnce: The Oracle states that she is bound by the "rule of one"; one question, one answer. She knows everything and will answer one question to any person who asks, but only one. After answering, the Oracle will not answer any other question from that person ever again. (much to Iago's frustration when he hears about an "ultimate treasure"). |
| 128 | -->'''Iago''': With all the other great stuff in here, why go for this thing?\ |
| 129 | '''Oracle''': (''appearing'') Your question is mine to answer! The King of Thieves sought my sight to find the Ultimate Treasure.\ |
| 130 | '''Iago''': Okay, you know all, so tell all. Where is the treasure? You know, the ultimate one?\ |
| 131 | '''Oracle''': I am bound by the rule of one. One question, one answer.\ |
| 132 | '''Iago''': I only want one answer! Where is the Ultimate Treasure?!\ |
| 133 | '''Oracle''': You have already asked your question.\ |
| 134 | '''Iago''': You mean before? Oh, that wasn't a question! That was, uh... thinking out loud! |
| 135 | * IWantGrandkids: Implied. During Genie's song, Cassim starts to smile when Genie points out that when Aladdin and Jasmine have kids, Cassin will be a grandfather and can "bounce the babies on your knees". |
| 136 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Aladdin is crushed when Razoul reveals that Cassim tried to steal the Oracle again during the second wedding. Aladdin only says he thought his father had changed. And of course, he can't do a thing to save his dad, since Cassim blatantly broke the law. Razoul may take great pleasure in Aladdin's misery, but none of the characters can argue with his logic. |
| 137 | * JustifiedCriminal: The movie reveals Aladdin's father Cassim to have originally been one of these. When Aladdin was a young boy, Cassim left him and his mother behind in Agrabah, joining the Forty Thieves and pursuing the mythical Hand of Midas to ensure that his family could live in comfort. When Cassim returned several years later he discovered that his wife had died and Aladdin was nowhere to be found, leaving him with only his Kingship over a group of outlaws. |
| 138 | * JustJokingJustification: After Genie makes a crack about Aladdin not being essential to the wedding, he has to resort to one. The joke isn't even that bad, it goes: |
| 139 | -->'''Genie:''' ''[as [[Creator/MarxBrothers Chico Marx]]]'' Hey, that'sa no good! What this wedding needs is a theme! ''[as Groucho Marx]'' Needs a groom too, but let's work with what we have!\ |
| 140 | '''Jasmine:''' Genie!\ |
| 141 | '''Genie:''' It's a joke! ''[deadpan]'' I do that. |
| 142 | * KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Jasmine decks one of the Forty Thieves will wearing her white and gold wedding dress. |
| 143 | * KnightOfCerebus: Sa'Luk may not have any supernatural powers like Jafar, but he is ''definitely'' almost as threatening. After surviving an apparent DisneyVillainDeath he ''kills a shark onscreen'' and the film takes a much darker turn when he sets his plot in motion. [[spoiler:His death is also nightmarish, being turned into gold.]] |
| 144 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[DetrimentalDetermination Cassim doesn't]]. Chasing down the Hand of Midas has caused Cassim to lose his wife and son, all for the sake of a treasure. Even if it is a theoretically infinite treasure, it's utterly consumed his entire life. And even when Cassim finds his son Aladdin once again, he just can't help himself but try and go after the Hand of Midas, even to his own detriment and the detriment of the relationship with his son. Cassim's development throughout the movie is learning to accept that the Hand of Midas, and thus all the money he could ever want, simply isn't worth the trouble. |
| 145 | * LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: At the end of TheTeaser, the Genie shoots some magic into the air while the music builds up, only for this trope to happen when the magic ends up creating a crappy neon Aladdin logo that disappointingly frizzles out. The Genie then turns to the audience and says, "Aww. Some of you don't believe." Cue the ''real'' title screen of the film. |
| 146 | * LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Aladdin and Cassim quickly realize they have nothing in common, Cassim enjoying the life of a thief and Aladdin only doing it out of necessity and glad to be done with it. Their differing personalities cause their falling out. |
| 147 | * LimitedWardrobe: Averted. |
| 148 | ** Both Aladdin and Jasmine are shown in outfits other than "ratty street rat" clothes and the blue princess outfit. Aladdin appears in his first scene wearing clothing similar to his street rat design, though there are no torn patches, coat is lined with gold fabric, and he's actually wearing shoes. For most of the film he wears more fashionable and regal clothing, and in fact [[FromDressToDressing tears off a sleeve]] to wrap the Hand of Midas so he wouldn't make direct contact. |
| 149 | ** Even the Sultan has a different outfit in this movie (or at least a differently-colored one), and while Abu spends most of the time in his classic outfit, he dresses slightly fancier for the wedding. Only the Genie, Carpet and Iago ''don't'' get any kind of wardrobe update for this movie... and Iago and the Carpet don't wear clothes anyway, while the Genie of course can't go more than a few minutes without changing his look for a scene or two. |
| 150 | * LittleNo: Sa'luk when he [[spoiler:sees the Hand of Midas is turning him into gold]]. |
| 151 | * LongLostRelative: Aladdin and Cassim never really knew what happened to each other. The only way Aladdin finds out his father is even still alive is because the oracle inadvertently lets it slip. |
| 152 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: Aladdin to Cassim. The Oracle shows Aladdin what his father looks like and where to find him. Cassim is convinced by Aladdin carrying a weapon he once owned and left to his young son. |
| 153 | * MacGuffin: The Hand of Midas is the goal of the Forty Thieves. It is why they attacked the wedding and finding it informs the climax. |
| 154 | * MadEye: The Knife-using thief's left eye is much larger than the right, and at least two of the other thieves are scared of him. |
| 155 | * TheMagicTouch: Anything touched by the hand of Midas turns to gold, but its bronze handle is safe. Cassim knew that and so he uses his cloak to catch it indirectly, which turned his cloak to gold. Sa'luk knew this too, [[spoiler: but he didn't realize he caught the hand by the gold part till it was too late.]] |
| 156 | * MetaphoricallyTrue: The Oracle told Aladdin that his father Cassim is "trapped within the world [of the Forty Thieves]". But Cassim isn't a prisoner of the Forty Thieves; he's their leader. What's keeping him trapped there is his own greed. Later, when Aladdin confides in Genie about what he's thinking, Aladdin admits that the Oracle was right, just not in the way he expected. |
| 157 | * MidasTouch: The Hand of Midas can turn anything into gold. [[spoiler:It turns Sa'Luk into gold when Cassim tosses it to him. Cassim also sinks the ruins by turning them to gold, and he has to leave behind his turned-to-gold cape to escape.]] |
| 158 | * MoodWhiplash: The Genie, when confronting Cassim: |
| 159 | -->'''Genie:''' ''[dead serious]'' If you're Al's dad, ''and'' the King of Thieves, I just want to know one thing. [...] ''[turning into a maître d']'' [[CallBack Will you be having the chicken or the sea bass?]] |
| 160 | * MotorMouth: Genie is talking a mile a minute in "Party in Agrabah". He's voiced once again by Creator/RobinWilliams, natch. |
| 161 | * TheMourningAfter: It's shown that Cassim still deeply misses Aladdin's mother. No doubt he regrets not being there when she died. |
| 162 | * MythologyGag: |
| 163 | ** Aladdin's father and King of the Forty Thieves is named Cassim after Ali Baba's doomed brother in the original story. "Ali Ababwa", Aladdin's alias from the original film, is Ali Baba's name with an extra "a" and "w" added in. Still in the original film, the lyric of "Friend Like Me" says "Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves". |
| 164 | ** The way Cassim smuggles the Forty Thieves into Agrabah (inside large baskets, with each camel in the train carrying two baskets) is akin to one of the chief robber's plans to ambush Ali Baba in the original fairy tale. |
| 165 | * NeverHurtAnInnocent: Cassim reveals that he added this to the code of the Forty Thieves after becoming their leader. Which displeases Sa'luk; he doesn't like this kind of "weakness". |
| 166 | * NeverTrustATrailer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHPY653Vbyo This VHS trailer]] makes you think that Sa'Luk is the King of Thieves. |
| 167 | * NoNameGiven: All of the thieves besides Cassim and Sa'Luk aren't given any names. |
| 168 | * NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Sa'luk is presumed dead when Aladdin knocks him off a cliff in their duel. As soon as the Forty Thieves are done welcoming Al to the team, the movie cuts to Sa'luk surfacing and killing a shark as he makes his way ashore. |
| 169 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Aladdin and his father Cassim. |
| 170 | -->'''Cassim:''' You don't understand. You don't know what it's like to have nothing, to stare up at the palace and ''know'' you deserve more, to be called "street rat."\ |
| 171 | '''Aladdin:''' Yes, I do. |
| 172 | [[/folder]] |
| 173 | |
| 174 | [[folder:O-Z]] |
| 175 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Despite being curbstomped by the Forty Thieves in their first fight, Razoul and the Royal Guards proceed to storm their hideout and capture thirty-one of them with no casualties in Round 2. The battle itself is never shown. |
| 176 | * OpenSesame: Naturally comes up when the Forty Thieves return to their lair. Razoul at one point goes ComicallyMissingThePoint and recites, "Open, Caraway!" |
| 177 | * OrangeBlueContrast: Used in the duel between Aladdin and Sa'luk after [[BattleAmongstTheFlames a brazier is tipped over]], with the background in orange and the combatants in blue shadow. |
| 178 | * OrphansPlotTrinket: Aladdin turns out to have one of these in the third film, his dagger -- he thoughtfully mentions it just before it becomes plot-relevant. |
| 179 | * OutOfFocus: Jasmine has very little to do in the movie, especially during the second act. Though this does make sense, as the movie is mostly about Aladdin and his father. |
| 180 | * PapaWolf: Cassim is very protective of his son. While they have been separated for years, he still risks his life and tries everything in his power to keep Aladdin safe. |
| 181 | * ParentalBonus: |
| 182 | ** When Aladdin says he needs something before the wedding, Genie instantly redecorates the hideout for a bachelor party and shows up as a busty stripper. Genie passes out FrothyMugsOfWater to everyone, but quickly takes back Carpet's, claiming, "Not you, you're the designated flyer." |
| 183 | ** "I thought the earth wasn't supposed to move until the honeymoon!" This line was removed when aired on Disney Channel/[[NetworkDecay Disney XD]]. |
| 184 | ** Aladdin's [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/63e2161e19dc0e491ecefbe1935acb93/tumblr_n3kp6eJPYz1ra6id4o1_400.gif "Ooh, I'm gonna get some tonight!"]] expression right before he and Jasmine lay down on Carpet while kissing after departing their wedding. The scene does cut away from them after this too. |
| 185 | * PartingTheSea: The Forty Thieves' lair is hidden in an offshore rock formation, with the magic words "OpenSesame" opening the entrance and creating a pathway through the bay to cross to it. When Aladdin and the others followed the thieves, Carpet had to race down the pathway as the bay was re-collapsing. |
| 186 | * PetTheDog: At the end when Aladdin and Jasmine finally marry, [[spoiler:Razoul catches the bouquet, indicating that he's finally learning to accept the former Street Rat.]] |
| 187 | * ProperlyParanoid: The remaining thieves initially disbelieve Sa'luk when he said that Cassim ratted them out, knowing that he never accepted Cassim's leadership. |
| 188 | * PullingTheRugOut: A rare invoked case given the character in question ''is'' a rug. As the 40 Thieves ambush Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding, Carpet pulls out from under two thieves knocking them over. He then mimes a victory pose. |
| 189 | * {{Pun}}: Genie loves these. |
| 190 | -->"And your name is?"\ |
| 191 | "I'm [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]]."\ |
| 192 | "You're ''Thor?"''\ |
| 193 | "Well it hurtth." |
| 194 | * QuirkyMinibossSquad: The seven thieves who side with Sa'luk. A FatIdiot adept at weaponizing his own Kevlard, a Kung Fu Mongol warrior, a [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation green-skinned]] rope charmer, a DualWielding BladeEnthusiast, and a trio of acrobatic [[SingleMindedTwins triplets]]. |
| 195 | ** Sa'luk tricks Cassim's remaining followers into thinking that Cassim ratted them out to the royal guards. |
| 196 | * RecurringTraveller: The merchant from the first movie reappears at the end. Now he's selling tapestries of the newlywed royal couple. |
| 197 | * RedAlert: {{Parodied}} (of course) -- Genie calls a Code Red when he finds out that the King of Thieves has just strolled onto castle grounds and brings in TheCavalry, but calls it off when Aladdin introduces the King of Thieves as his father. Al, meanwhile, reacts to the Code Red with a look that says "Oh, here we go..." having SeenItAll when it comes to Genie's antics. |
| 198 | * SaveTheVillain: When Sa'Luk loses his footing during their fight on the cliff edge, Aladdin tries to grab him as he falls, but fails. Sa'luk proves to be NotQuiteDead and later returns to menace the protagonists further. |
| 199 | * SchmuckBait: The hand of Midas is designed this way. The handle is much smaller than the golden hand part, so most people would be foolish enough to touch it directly and turn their bodies into gold. Cassim warns Aladdin about this, so Aladdin is very careful to first grab the metal handle and then wrap the golden part in a piece of his shirtsleeve. Meanwhile, Cassim uses his cape to catch the hand and not get affected. Unfortunately for Sa'Luk, [[spoiler:he grabs it with his bare hands. Cue one shiny statue as he screams RapidFireNo, before freezing into gold forever]]. |
| 200 | * ShoutOut: |
| 201 | ** A large chunk of the plot bears a striking resemblance to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Aladdin's father is even voiced by Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) doing a rather good Creator/SeanConnery impersonation. |
| 202 | ** Creator/RobinWilliams goes nuts doing impersonations and shout outs. He starts off with [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Tinkerbell]] ("In color!") and then goes through Creator/WoodyAllen, Carmen Miranda, Creator/MarxBrothers, Film/MrsDoubtfire, Franchise/{{Rocky}} (and ''Don King''), Franchise/{{Rambo}}, Creator/BobHope and Creator/BingCrosby, WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}, Creator/ShaquilleONeal, Film/ForrestGump, [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Pumbaa]] (lampshaded when he says "Whoa, talk about having an out-of-movie experience!"), and ends the entire thing with WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse from ''Steamboat Willie''. And when he shows wedding dresses to Jasmine, he suggests Minnie Mouse, WesternAnimation/{{The Little Mermaid|1989}} and... [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit.]] He also shifted into [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Pluto]] to sniff out Cassim. |
| 203 | ** After the attack on the wedding, Genie upgraded the palace security with [[Franchise/RoboCop ED-209]]. |
| 204 | ** During ''Father and Son'', the Genie pilots a spaceship resembling the one from ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'', parachutes past Literature/TheGivingTree, and ends out the song with a reference to ''Series/TheBradyBunch''. |
| 205 | * SlippedTheRopes: Iago does this after he and Cassim had been captured by the Forty Thieves. It takes him time that Cassim has to stall for. |
| 206 | * StagParty: Genie tries to throw a bachelor party for Aladdin. The guy shapeshifts into a ''stripper'' and pops out of a cake, while snatching what's obviously supposed to be beer from the Carpet and calling him the "designated flyer". |
| 207 | * StandardHeroReward: After two sequels and an animated series, plus more heroics than one could count, Aladdin finally marries Jasmine and settles down. |
| 208 | * SteppingStoneSword: After {{Blade Brak|e}}ing down the cliff, Aladdin's knife remains embedded in the stone. Al wins the fight with Sa'luk by grabbing it and swinging, kicking Sa'luk into the ocean. |
| 209 | * StockSoundEffects: The sharks which Sa'luk fights and kills reuse some growling and snarling noises of the hyenas from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' |
| 210 | * StoryBreakerPower: The Forty Thieves are formidable but are still normal humans, making them no match for Genie. During the attack on the wedding Genie was occupied [[AtlasPose trying to prevent the entire building from collapsing]], but once that was no longer an issue (the roof collapsed gradually until only [[ImpactSilhouette the outline of Genie's body was left]]) he got involved with the fight and quickly sent them running. Sa'luk even berates Cassim for not knowing they would be fighting a Genie. Similarly, in the climax on the TurtleIsland Genie was tasked with getting the turtle to shake and distract Sa'Luk, leaving the other characters to fight off what remained of the Forty Thieves. |
| 211 | * SympathyForTheDevil: After failing to save him, Aladdin is visibly disturbed as he watches Sa'Luk fall from the cliff. After Sa'Luk catches the Hand of Midas with his bare hand, [[spoiler:Aladdin watches with dread as Sa'Luk is painfully turned to gold]]. He visibly winces during it. |
| 212 | * SympatheticVillainDespicableVillain: [[spoiler:Cassim is the initial King of the Forty Thieves, but he is TrappedInVillainy and is redeemed by his son Aladdin, eventually choosing to give up the Midas Hand when put into a FriendOrIdolDecision. However, his [[TheStarscream Starscream]] Sa'luk lacks these humanizing traits and is nothing more than a violent thug who happily betrays his fellow thieves to take over the remains of the gang.]] |
| 213 | * TakenForGranite: The Hand of Midas is said to make no distinction between turning whatever it touches to gold. That includes living beings. [[spoiler:Sa'luk's fate is to be turned into solid gold, once Cassim pulls a BatmanGambit and throws it to Sa'luk.]] |
| 214 | * TaughtByExperience: During their [[GangInitiationFight previous duel]], Aladdin quickly realised that Sa'Luk was fully intending to kill him and was a lot physically stronger than him as well. When rescuing Cassim in the climax, Aladdin ambushes Sa'Luk and knocks him unconscious before he can retaliate. |
| 215 | * TemptingFate: "Without Jafar and all his malice. Everybody's happy!" "What could possibly go wrong?" Cut to the Forty Thieves' part of the song. |
| 216 | * ThatWasObjectionable: Done by the Genie during Aladdin's trial (over breaking his father and Iago out of prison). |
| 217 | -->'''Genie:''' I object, Your Honour. I object to that outrageous statement, [[BreakingTheFourthWall and I object to a tertiary character having any lines during my courtroom scene]]. ''(Hands him a suitcase and blasts him out of sight)'' Take this to a higher court, my good man! |
| 218 | * TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler: When Cassim throws the Hand of Midas to him, Sa'luk grabs the golden Hand itself instead of its handle. Sa'Luk unquestionably knows that the Hand turns anything it touches to solid gold, but he doesn't realise until it's too late that this includes ''living'' beings as well.]] |
| 219 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: The Genie goes EatMe with the turtle to cause a distraction, allowing Aladdin to rescue his father from Sa'Luk. At first, it's GoneHorriblyRight, where he motivates the Turtle to dive instead and nearly drowning everyone. Then as Aladdin and the gang get on the carpet, the turtle rises and opens its mouth, allowing Genie to escape. Poor reptile. |
| 220 | * TookALevelInBadass: Jasmine in the first movie got her butt kicked whenever she tried fighting the guards or Jafar. In the first sequel, Jafar manipulated her and Aladdin like a fiddle. Here, she does a lot more: first by punching out the thieves that crashed her wedding, and then actively taking them on as a CombatPragmatist on the Vanishing Isle. |
| 221 | * TranquilFury: The Sultan's reaction after Aladdin returns to Agrabah and surrenders himself into custody for freeing Cassim. For all his past childlike naievte and behavior, the Sultan's ''genuinely'' angry with his future son-in-law. |
| 222 | * TrappedInVillainy: Cassim. The Oracle cites him as being trapped in the world of the Forty Thieves. While Aladdin takes this to mean that he's their prisoner, it's only MetaphoricallyTrue. Cassim's greed for the Hand of Midas is what's keeping him there. |
| 223 | * TruckDriversGearChange: Boy howdy is it full of 'em! |
| 224 | ** "Party in Agrabah" goes from D minor to E♭ minor to E minor to F minor to F♯ minor and finally to G minor. The reprise starts in C minor and ends in F minor. |
| 225 | ** "Welcome to the Forty Thieves" starts in D minor and ends in E minor. |
| 226 | ** "Father and Son" starts in G major and ends in A major. |
| 227 | ** "Are You In or Out?" starts in A minor and ends in B♭ minor. |
| 228 | * TryingNotToCry: Genie at the wedding. He fails miserably at it, even blowing his nose in the magic carpet. |
| 229 | -->'''Genie:''' It’s all… so magical. I’m not gonna cry, I’m not… ''(promptly bursts into tears)'' |
| 230 | * TurtleIsland: The Vanishing Isle, which holds the location of the Hand Of Midas, the treasure that Cassim has been looking for all his life, is on the back of a giant stone turtle. That's why it is never in the same place twice. |
| 231 | * UnpleasantParentReveal: Aladdin finds out that his missing dad who left years ago to find the Hand of Midas, is the King of Thieves. Cassim never could find it and was [[SunkCostFallacy too ashamed to return home empty handed]], until he finally returned and couldn't find his family (Aladdin's mother having died, leaving him to survive on the streets). |
| 232 | * VillainSong: "Are You In or Out?" and, to a lesser extent, "Welcome to the Forty Thieves" describe the rules of the villain's organization and describes their motivations. |
| 233 | * WeddingFinale: The film starts with Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding being crashed by the Forty Thieves, who were specifically after an artifact that was being given as a wedding present. At the end of the movie, they do the ceremony over again (mostly offscreen), and this time, it goes off without a hitch. |
| 234 | * WeddingSmashers: The Forty Thieves crash Aladin and Jasmine's wedding in order to steal a wedding gift. |
| 235 | * WelcomingSong: |
| 236 | ** In "There's A Party Here In Agrabah", the Genie welcomes people to the palace to witness the marriage ceremony of Aladdin and Jasmine. |
| 237 | ** In "Welcome to the Forty Thieves", the forty thieves congratulate Aladdin on becoming their newest member after his father takes him to their hide-out. |
| 238 | * WeNeedADistraction: Twice. First, during the Forty Thieves' invasion of the wedding, Cassim instructs Sa'luk and the others to distract the guards, which they do. Later, during the battle of the Vanishing Isle, Aladdin says the trope name outright to Genie, who manages to get into the giant turtle's mouth and starts tickling it, making it shake and slowing Sa'luk and Cassim's progress. It goes GoneHorriblyRight when the turtle starts to dive. |
| 239 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: |
| 240 | ** It's not clear what became of the Oracle. It's last seen showing the way to the Vanishing Isle and just disappears afterwards. We can assume the staff used to summon it sunk to the bottom of the ocean. |
| 241 | ** Whether or not Sa'Luk's henchmen drown or are simply left to swim to shore empty-handed when their ship turns to gold and sinks is unclear. |
| 242 | * WhyAreYouLookingAtMeLikeThat: Aladdin stares at Sa'Luk in horror after the latter grabs the Hand of Midas. Sa'Luk asks him why, right before looking down himself and realising that [[spoiler:the Hand Of Midas is turning him into a gold statue. Too late for him to do anything about it, though]]. |
| 243 | -->'''Sa'Luk:''' What are you staring at?! |
| 244 | * WithUsOrAgainstUs: "Are You In or Out?" is a VillainSong in which Sa'luk convinces the remaining members of the Forty Thieves to denounce Cassim as their leader and follow him instead. At first, the Thieves attempt to fight Sa'luk, but they quickly change their minds when Sa'luk reminds them of how [[TheDreaded feared across the world they used to be]]. |
| 245 | * WolverineClaws: Sa'luk's preferred weapon is a set of brass knuckles with fairly short, hooked blades. |
| 246 | * WrapItUp: This film ties up loose ends for the continuity of the Aladdin trilogy at large, but particularly the TV series. |
| 247 | * YouKillItYouBoughtIt: One of the Forty Thieves' rules is that if you manage to kill one of their members, you can take that member's place. |
| 248 | -->'''Cassim:''' The Code of The Forty Thieves is very clear on this point... [[SophisticatedAsHell You're in.]] |
