![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He runs from the captain of the guards, but still respects them. Aladdin only stealing to help out others and not for monetary gain. That said, the book switches things up a bit with Aladdin getting Abu from his mother as a pet. We have the introduction of Aladdin’s mother, mention of his runaway father, and his two childhood friends who are focused on being the best thieves ever. The book also includes a few things that I happen to know are from the musical as well. “A Whole New World” follows what would have happened to Jasmine and Aladdin if Jafar was able to escape with the lamp instead of Aladdin holding onto it from the Cave of Wonders. Also the book is a lot more harsher about the Sultan and how the people of Agrabah were treated by him. ![]() There seems to be a side plot with the introduction of two characters (Duban and Morgiana) that held more promise than us following Jasmine and Aladdin around trying to defeat Jafar. I think the biggest problem is that none of the characters feels very developed. This one takes a look at Aladdin and Jasmine and what would have happened if Jafar got to use the lamp and have Genie grant him wishes. I read the twisted tales about Beauty and the Beast and loved how that was set up. ![]()
