They sought to remedy the issue by adding characters that were "animation-friendly", thus, the handmaiden was replaced with a pet tiger.Įven with Musker and Clements onboard to direct, there was still work to be done with the story. Although Ron Clements and John Musker enjoyed the love story blossoming between Aladdin and Jasmine, they believed Woolverton's script featured too many human characters and seemed better suited for a live-action format as consequence. Woolverton also gave the princess a human handmaiden for a friend. In Linda Woolverton's screenplay, the relationship between Aladdin and Jasmine served as a driving force of the narrative, slowly replacing Aladdin's desire to make his mother proud (as was the case in Ashman's treatment). Furthermore, Jasmine's "spoiled brat" persona was scrapped in favor of a character that was more endearing and sympathetic.
The Abbi character was cut, while Jasmine was given a larger role as Aladdin's love interest. However, as development on an Aladdin film furthered at the studio, Ashman's screenplay saw major revisions. In the end of Ashman's treatment, Aladdin is offered the princess' hand in marriage, but he ultimately refuses in favor of his true love, Abbi. There was also another female character, a tomboyish street urchin named Abbi, whom joined Aladdin on his quest to rescue the princess. Her personality was fleshed out in the song " Call Me A Princess", in which she arrogantly flaunts her royal status. Loosely inspired by the Aladdin folk tale, Howard Ashman's 1988 treatment for an animated adaptation of Aladdin included a shallow, spoiled, and materialistic princess named Jasmine, whose "brattiness" served as comic relief in the story. When she meets Aladdin, she discovers the wonders she's often imagined outside the palace walls. She's free-spirited, confident, and kind. Official Description Jasmine is a dreamer who loves her pet tiger, Rajah. The restrictions have also left her with the desire to see the world and experience life outside of being a sheltered princess, which would eventually result in meeting Aladdin.
These restrictions have ultimately prevented Jasmine from making any connections, as she states she had never had any real friends, aside from Rajah. Despite living a lavished life, she often felt suffocated by the laws of her kingdom, which restricted her from socializing with her subjects and forced her into unjust practices, such as forced marriages. In Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, the legacy of her mother played a fairly large role, where the Sultan mentioned seeing his wife in his daughter, specifically through Jasmine's relationship with her mother's horse, Sahara.īecause of her status as a princess, Jasmine was unfortunately forbidden to ever leave the palace walls, spending her life sheltered within the confines of the royal home.
In the chapter A Gift from the Stars, from the book Tales from Agrabah, it is revealed that, whenever Jasmine would long for her mother, the princess would sit on her balcony and stargaze for a period of time. She believed him to be a spiritual gift from her deceased mother, who would tell her stories about the "star tiger" named Rajah. Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah and his late wife, residing in the kingdom's palace alongside her father and loyal, yet overprotective pet tiger, Rajah, whom she found years before the events of the film.
