That is because this Aladdin is very much “Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin.” You may have noticed that I have been referring to Disney’s live action remake of Aladdin as Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin a lot throughout this article.

(Image credit: Disney) Director Guy Ritchie Makes Aladdin A Guy Ritchie Movie He may be ruthless and unrelenting, but he's far less of a creep than his animated counterpart. Also, thankfully, when Jafar finally gets a hold of the magic lamp and asks Genie to make him the most powerful sorcerer in the world, he does not keep Jasmine chained up as his personal love slave. It is as if he recognizes, and even respects, the possibility that Princess Jasmine could be the next sultan and his goal is just to beat her to the throne first. He is a war monger, persistently forcing the idea of invading a country that the Sultan just wishes to remain at peace with.Īs for his own plan for tyranny, marrying the princess is never brought up.
In Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, not only does Jafar want to be the Sultan, his wishes for power are beyond merely fame and fortune.
Marwan Kenzari’s Jafar still uses that snake-headed scepter to control the Sultan, but not for less aggressively creepy reasons. When his initial plan to get ahold of the magic lamp fails, he tries hypnotizing the Sultan into allowing him to marry Princess Jasmine, which Aladdin prevents by smashing his magic scepter and breaking the spell. Jafar is such a ruthless, uncompromising, unrelenting wannabe tyrant that he will stop at nothing to take control of the kingdom of Agrabah in the original Disney’s Aladdin. (Image credit: Disney) Jafar Has No Intention Of Marrying Jasmine To Usurp The Kingdom This was most likely the right direction to go with adapting Aladdin’s reasoning for entering the Cave of Wonders, given that Jafar’s old man disguise would not have made for much of a reveal given what we already know from the animated classic. Once he agrees, it pretty much goes exactly as the animated original does. He captures Aladdin and presents himself to him, dark red robes and all, with a proposal for riches that would attract the affection of a princess. In Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake, Jafar does not bother with the disguise. So, Jafar captures Aladdin, poses as an old prisoner, breaks him out of custody and tricks him into retrieving the lamp for a promised reward. In order to retrieve the magic lamp inside, he must enlist the one “diamond in the rough” whom the cave will allow, which happens to be Aladdin. In Disney’s Aladdin, Jafar’s hunger for power leads him in the direction of the Cave of Wonders, a sentient temple of great fortune and mysticism.

#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALADDIN GAMES SNES UPDATE#
The most intriguing update is Will Smith’s approach to performing Genie’s magnum opus. The most pivotal update is the addition of the song specially written for Princess Jasmine called “Speechless,” which Naomi Scott sings at two crucial moments of the film. The end credits feature new, additional versions of “Friend Like Me,” by Smith and DJ Khaled, and “A Whole New World,” this time a duet by Zayn Malik and Zavia Ward. Will Smith’s rendition of “Arabian Nights” amends the original song’s controversial lyrics. Of course the new creative team brought all the original songs back, but with a few new twists.
However, Disney decided it would be best to leave those songs untouched and provide a whole new set of original songs for Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin. Needless to say, the music by Alan Menken is key to the animated movie’s iconography.
