Overview
Coming on the heels of the direct-to-video sequel The Return of Jafar, the series picked up where that installment left off, with Aladdin now living in the palace, engaged to beautiful and spunky Princess Jasmine. "Al" and Jasmine went together into peril among sorcerers, monsters, thieves, and more. Monkey sidekick Abu, the animated Magic Carpet, and the fast-talking, shape-shifting Genie came along to help, as did sassy, complaining parrot Iago, formerly Jafar’s pet but now an antihero.

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by critiquing rigid social structures and championing individual merit and agency over inherited status and oppressive traditions, leading to a reformist solution within the existing system.
The movie features a diverse cast that aligns with its Middle Eastern setting, and its narrative includes themes of female empowerment through Princess Jasmine's ambition to rule. It maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities within its story.
Secondary
The film's setting, Agrabah, is heavily inspired by Islamic Golden Age culture, including architecture, names, and social structures. This cultural backdrop is presented in a vibrant, fantastical, and generally positive light, serving as the appealing world where the heroic narrative unfolds without any critique or negative framing of its origins.
The animated series 'Aladdin' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no specific portrayal to evaluate under the provided framework.
The show features Princess Jasmine as the primary female character. While brave and resourceful, she does not engage in or win direct physical combat against male opponents through skill or strength. Other female characters primarily use magic or are not involved in physical combat.
The animated series "Aladdin" (1994–1995) maintains the established genders of all major characters from its source material, the 1992 Disney film. No characters canonically established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender in the show.
The animated series "Aladdin" (1994–1995) continues the story and characters from the 1992 animated film. The main characters retain their established appearances and implied racial/ethnic backgrounds from the original source material, with no changes in race for any canonically established character.
