Aladdin Central Messageboard

[Spartan Girl]

So when you guys watched ROJ for the very first time, did any of you fall for the part where "Jasmine" was accusing Aladdin of murdering the sultan?

Well...I did.

I mean, I know they didn't make it obvious that it was Jafar until you saw the real Jasmine locked up in that secret dungeon, but still, I remember watching that scene, and I was upset to think Jasmine would believe that he would do such a thing! I know she was upset about him lying about Iago being there, but hiding a fugitive bird is one thing, murdering your future father-in-law is another!

I remember feeling terrible for Aladdin at that part. To think that the love of your life would just turn on you like that, and SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH I admit that for a tiny moment at that part, I hated Jasmine.

Then they showed that it was Jafar and not really her, and I was relieved. Still you have to admit that was pretty suspenseful up until then.

Erm... no. I wasn't even aware it was possible to audience to 'fall for it.'

I didn't believe that Jasmine was acting like herself then because Genie and Abu where captured by Jafar earlier in the movie I figured Jafar either replaced her by a clone or put a spell on her.

I love the drama in the whole sequence from Aladdin arriving back at the palace until just Genie saves the kid from sudden death. I mean for a cheap sequel and getting anything near the first movie yeah good drama.

I might have when I was a little kid seeing it because Jasmine being highly pissed with Aladdin isn't a new thing (although death is a bit much and I probably didn't register what that really meant ), but I'm ok now. I know spoilers

Let me put it this way: I knew something was up when she started saying that Aladdin wanted to rule Agrabah, and I knew it probably involved Jafar, but I didn't think that it was actually Jafar in Jasmine's form. (So who else used to watch "Jasmine" change into Jafar frame by frame every time you watched RoJ? I know I wasn't the only one. )

I did once meet someone who was fooled by it over on the DisneySites messageboard. I saw her complaining about how OOC Jasmine was in RoJ, and when I asked her what she meant she said it was because Jasmine sentenced Aladdin to death. I guess she was so disgusted by seeing that that she turned off the tape and didn't watch the rest, and so never found out that it wasn't really Jasmine until I told her so.

Still frames are the stuff nightmares are made of.

The series is chock full of 'em, too.
