[quote="Meesh"]Oh yeah, that's not a dumb question at all! We did have a thread about this, but I don't really feel like looking for it. Unless I am mistaken, Aladdin lived at the hovel, but naturally he visited the palace all of the time. There were some exceptions like for security reasons like in "Eye of the Beholder." Basically, Disney probably didn't want to promote an unmarried teenage couple living together.[/quote]

They were engaged. She was still the princess and he was just her boyfriend. No one gives Aladdin any type of royal treatment or address him with any type of titles when they go anywhere, so that says to me he doesn't have the status yet. <br /> <br />After they get married, however, I think he became a prince. Disney seems to go along with that as a lot of the books and even some merchandise states as much. I don't think he becomes sultan until after the current one dies or steps down, so when I said I think "he probably got to learn more when he became a prince," I meant once he officially becomes part of the family, he has more open to him and thus he gets to learn more. I don't think the sultan or Jasmine has excluded him from much when it comes to the workings of military operations or royal affairs when they can help it, but now it'll be a mandatory thing instead of a come and go as you please situation. He was offered the job of royal vizier, which is ridiculous, but he probably should have taken it as it would have helped in the long run <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />.

Y'all have provided a thorough answer to my question. For what it's worth, I personally think it is ridiculous that Aladdin's living situation in the series was probably changed due to pressure from censors. As noted, a lot of people *may* have viewed unwed Aladdin and Jasmine as committing a sinful/immoral cohabitation. <br /> <br />However, in ancient times, engagements/betrothals were taken very seriously, and were not typically broken unless there were extenuating circumstances, such as cheating, having sexual relations with someone you were not betrothed to, etc. It was not like today in which so many engagements are broken for whatever reasons may be, serious, or not. <br /> <br />For this reason alone, I personally would not be offended at a living situation in which Aladdin would be living in the palace. (I am generally against unwed cohabitation btw) When you also consider the vast size of the palace, the two could be pretty well physically separated during nighttime hours. In the event of suspected naughtiness between the couple, the Sultan could also order a guard be posted at Jasmine's door all night long to prevent foul play. Aladdin already hangs out at the palace pretty much every day, except when he's off adventuring, so it wouldn't be like there would be anything new to worry about during the daytime. <br /> <br />On a somewhat related note, I personally would think Aladdin would better be prepared to serve as future Sultan having lived for the series' duration in the palace 24/7, instead of just jumping right in right after tying the knot with Jasmine, and having to learn a lot more. <br /> <br />Sorry for the long post, lol.

For about the first year or so of in-story time they were vague about where Aladdin lived; they never came out and said it, but it was implied that he lived in the palace. Then, all of a sudden they started showing him living in the hovel and continued that way (mostly) consistently for the rest of the series. <br /> <br />I'm pretty sure the reason for this was that the writers wanted him to live in the palace, but the censors wouldn't allow an unmarried Aladdin and Jasmine living under one roof, even if it is in a giant building with over 1000 rooms. It's like living in the same apartment building, but more so. <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> But I think at some point they got tired of the restrictions and just decided that he lived in the hovel, and you can tell it really was holding them back because as soon as they decided that then they were showing him at the hovel all the time! <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />But that kind of makes it awkward in-story, though, because it makes it look like Aladdin was living in the palace, but moved back out again for some reason. I need to do some kind of episode breakdown so I can show you all where I'm getting this stuff.

Occassionally he spends the night at the palace, which Jasmine seems to have a rule about (Iago mentions they [himself, Aladdin, Abu, Genie] get to stay the night during "From Hippsodeth, With Love" and Jasmine says "just for tonight"), but for the most part, he stays in his hovel. <br /> <br />But then this begs the question, if he has a room there and there's a stipulation about them staying at the palace when there's not any possible danger, then what the hell happened? <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Guesses: <br /> <br />1. Aladdin didn't want to put the palace under constant danger after the whole thing with Jafar and his on going battles with the series villains, so he went back to his hovel <br /> <br />2. Iago and/or Abu did something. I don't know what, but I wouldn't be surprised <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />. Aladdin also takes full responsibility for Iago, so if something happens that causes Iago to get kicked out the palace again (unless the situation in ROJ was the thing that caused him to lose his rights to the palace), Aladdin would have to adjust for that <br /> <br />3. Aladdin wasn't ready to live in the palace. Maybe they were just trying out him living there for a bit, but it didn't feel right or he wasn't crazy about it. That's a huge adjustment to make so sudden. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by not living there. He visits all the time, though, so he's not missing much except those few hours at night <br /> <br />I can't make up my mind on whether or not he's in the process of moving out of his hovel (like he has stuff to move, but you get what I mean <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />), or if he's still staying there until after he and Jasmine are married by the time we see him in KOT. He at least goes there to get away from things, but I don't know how long they'd let the crown prince and future sultan of of Agrabah stay in a hovel on the other end of the city. It was fine when they were just engaged/dating, but I imagine he had to move in again at some point following the last movie.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
