We loved her for her resilience and her ability to express herself so unabashedly. She was no damsel in distress waiting for her Prince Charming. We loved Princess Jasmine when she made her way to the Disney roster back in 1992. There's more to Jasmine than just her love for Aladdin And I for one was more than happy with that. Yes, 'Speechless' really did leave me speechless! The song served as an ode against the patriarchal nature of the political order in Agrabah which has her restricted and bound and how she will have none of that.Īladdin is definitely secondary here because Jasmine pursued her will to become Sultan rather than having her sultan father change the marriage law to marry Aladdin. While the 1992 feature was based around Aladdin as the lead with Jasmine’s portrayal being limited to being Aladdin’s love interest, the reboot involved Jasmine having her own arc where she has ambitions to become the sultan rather than just finding a suitable match for her marriage.Īpart from having her character's trajectory distinct and separate from the male lead, Jasmine also gets her own song finally. However, the way the plot progresses has been tweaked by Disney. He ends up marrying Jasmine without the wishes being relevant in the end though. We all knew that Aladdin's main plot would be the same rags to riches story where Aladdin, a petty thief who steals to eat along with his monkey, Abu ends up with Genie's lamp and the subsequent three wishes that he could choose from. Aladdin led the film but Princess Jasmine got her chance to shine We all imagined that Will Smith will be the biggest change in the feature but the reboot of Aladdin was promising because Jasmine was reimagined as a powerful female lead and some other changes were made that warmed my heart as a Disney fanatic since childhood. Had they sensitised their camera lens to the racial and gender prejudices that they have intentionally or unintentionally perpetuated? To some extent, it did. Then he pulled me closer, and we snuggled together and fell asleep.As production houses become more sensitive to ideas related to representation, gender and race, I hoped Disney had also done some self-reflection. 'Ok Arendale it is!' I said, kissing him back. 'Are you kidding me?! As long as I'm with you I don't care where we go.' He said as he leaned in for another kiss.

'If it's not too much trouble.' I say with a shy smile. 'Now are you sure that's where you want to go?' He asked. 'Norway.' I said with a smile on my face. 'Hey how about Arendale?' 'Where's that?' He asked with a puzzled look on his face. 'Yeah Not that cold.' We both laughed together. 'How about Antarctica!' He said with a laugh. 'Well let's go some where that is cooler than Agrabah.' I said playing with his hair. 'That's funny I was just going to ask you the same thing.' He said pulling me closer. 'So where are we going on our honeymoon?' I asked. Then I layed back down next to my husband. He took off his shirt and lied down beside me. Aladdin carried me bridal style into our room. After the reception we thanked everyone for coming and we decided to go to bed. I was glad that he was just as eager to be married. You may kiss the bride.' Aladdin pulled me in and kissed me hard on the lips. 'And do you Jasmine, take Aladdin to love and to hold for as long as you both shall live?' 'I do!' I said smiling back at Aladdin. 'Do you Aladdin take Jasmine to love and to hold for as long as you both shall live?' 'I do!' He said smiling happily. It was a long time then we did the wedding rings and vows. Aladdin looked so hot! Wooh! I thought I was gonna melt! Then we sat there waiting for the preacher to say kiss the bride. Anyway, we walked down the isle and my father kissed my cheek and gave me to Aladdin. I haven't had many friends over the years and I didn't have any sisters, so I just picked some.

Genie was Aladdin's best man, and I just got three girls to be my brides maids.

My father and I walked in the room and walked down the isle. I am ready to get married and go on our honeymoon.Īfter hours of waiting it was finally time. I love her so much and I am totally ready to get married I'm tired of canceling it. Today I'm getting married to the most Beautiful woman in the whole world. I love him and just want to be married already I've even been thinking about having children. It's about darn time we have put it off twice and if he tries to cancel again I'm going to get the preacher to skip to the end and pronouce us husband and wife.

Today I'm getting married to my fiance Aladdin.
