Following this, he alerts the guards to arrest Aladdin however, instead of imprisoning him in the dungeon, Jafar takes him to the desert, where the two meet. Iago returns to his master and remarks that there is a thief in the palace and that he is a "diamond in the rough", before they both begin to watch him make his way through the palace. The following night, Aladdin and Abu break into the palace in order to return Jasmine's bracelet that the latter stole before, unaware that they are being watched by Iago. Outside in the hall, Jafar speaks to Jasmine and tells her that, despite how difficult things seem, she will be happier once she remembers that she is to be "seen, not heard" before leaving, much to Jasmine's annoyance. The Sultan then turns to Jafar and reminds him to know his place as well, and, reluctantly, he agrees to do so. Jafar is quick to point out that they would never have to worry about having allies if she had decided to marry Prince Anders, with the Sultan also agreeing that Jasmine should stay in line with Agrabah's traditions and marry royalty, since she cannot be Sultan herself. With his attempt having failed, Jafar uses his Staff to hypnotize the Sultan into agreeing with him, only for Princess Jasmine to come across them and snap her father out of Jafar's trance by questioning his decision to wage war on both the kingdom where her mother was born and an ally of Agrabah. Jafar then angrily declares that he no longer needs the jailer before shoving the latter down a pit to his death.Īfter Princess Jasmine's rejection of Prince Anders and the possible military alliance, Jafar speaks to the Sultan about their enemies getting stronger every day and advises him to declare war on Shirabad and overtake it before it does the same, though the Sultan disagrees, as Shirabad poses no threat to Agrabah. The jailer goes on to say that, since he is not of royal blood, it would be impossible for him to become Sultan, enraging Jafar and prompting him to rant to the jailer about the tribulations he has gone through to get where he is, including spending 5 years in a Shirabad jail. The jailer asks Jafar why he must go to such lengths, reminding him that he is second only to the Sultan, which Jafar points out as being his problem, as he desires to be the Sultan of Agrabah himself. The Cave then tells Jafar to seek it out the "diamond in the rough" who is the one worthy enough to enter.Īt the palace's dungeon, Jafar orders the palace guards (led by Hakim) to examine more prisoners to find the "Diamond in the Rough", but none of them prove to be as the cave described and are sent away. However, the Cave rejects the prisoner by burying him in the sand as it finds him to be unworthy, much to Jafar's frustration. Jafar debuts in the desert with his pet parrot, Iago, where they lured an unwitting prisoner they hired to enter the Cave of Wonders. The jewel in Ali's turban is correctly drawn and scaled when they return to the palace in the next scene, so that you may make an easy size and placement comparison.Biography Finding the Diamond in the Rough So the movement can't be caused by the fabric falling in the back pulling it up. The bottom third of the jewel is supposed to be attached to the gold hat band, with the fabric in the front supported and swagged by it to keep the turban high in the front. The jewel in Ali's turban very noticeably migrates up at least 2 inches in a second.(as though it were alive and moving), The jewel actually leaves the band on camera.
The shot cuts to carpet for a second and when we see Ali and Jasmine again, the jewel is restored to nearly correct size, but then we are treated to a rare "Swimming" animation error. Extremely noticeable as Ali leans towards Jasmine. After Jasmine flicks the feather up on Ali's turban, the jewel is now 25% of its normal size.
The Jewel begins to shrink steadily in size throughout the scene.
When they are discussing royalty going out into the public in disguise. A rare "Off Model" character error happens with the Jewel in Aladdin's turban. Prince Ali and Jasmine are on the Chinese Palace rooftop after the "Whole New World" song.
