[quote="Meesh"]Thanks! It was my 30th, so it should've been a big party. But it was still a lot of fun!

Okay sorry I've been MIA in this thread and the series rewatch. I've been working a lot and trying to primarily consume media by POC.

----------------------------------------------------

But I read another 20ish pages, and here's what we got:

Alia has an "I want song" about the unfair expectations of a princess, wishing she could live how she wants to live.

Aladdin is imprisoned for stealing the princess' ring. Ja'afar tests Aladdin to see if he is of pure heart by trying to get Aladdin to break his oath to the princess. But even when threatened with execution, Aladdin refuses to say where he got the ring. They strike a deal that Aladdin can prove he is honest by going into the cave, ignoring all of the riches, and bringing back a worthless lamp.

Before their journey, Ja'afar pays a visit to return the princess' ring and tell her that he executed the thief. Alia tells him that she gave it to him, and he begs for forgiveness. The devastated Alia escapes again to tell Old Abu about Aladdin's fate. He says they already knew, and they mourn together.

When Aladdin gets hold of the lamp, a terrible earthquake starts. It isn't explained, and somebody (in pencil) wrote "expl. for earthquake?" Then the "first give me the lamp" sequence happens pretty much exactly like it is does in the final cut. Except the lamp falls back into the cave, instead of Aladdin's animal friend stealing it.

Alia's father tries to console her, but she won't eat or speak to anybody. The Sultan remarks that she and Ja'afar have both been moody all week. (We then hear Ja'afar being angry in the hallway, kind of comically.)

Aladdin accidentally rubs the lamp, and Genie comes out. He is described as a "Yul Brynner" type, and he speaks like an American trying to write a Chinese person. They have the talk about how Genie's freedom, and Aladdin promises to set him free. Then Genie sings a song about the best wishes he's ever granted. Somebody (in pencil) writes in the margin "too many songs."

Aladdin ends up wishing, "I wish to soar back to Baghdad in a blaze of glory riding on a Flying Carpet." During which, he sings a song to a subserviant genie about living a little, and they have fun and bond on the adventurous trip back.[/quote]
