- “I can help. I know, I can. I was born to do more than marry some useless prince.”
- ―Jasmine[src]
Princess Jasmine is the deuteragonist of the Disney's 2019 live-action film, Aladdin. She is a strong-willed and outspoken princess of Agrabah who wants to become a good ruler for the kingdom after her father, the Sultan, which does not sit well with the land's male-driven society.
She is based on both Princess Badroulbadour from the Middle-Eastern folk tale Aladdin and the character of the same name from the 1992 animated film.
Physical appearance[]
Jasmine always wears long black hair tied back, brown eyes, wears blue and yellow dangling heart earrings and wears a golden tiara on her head; at the beginning of the film wears a white dress with a veil with tricolor decorations (yellow, red and blue) throughout the film she wears various clothes: the first is a pink dress with blue and yellow decorations; the second is a yellow dress with a light blue bodice underneath; the third is a light blue and yellow dress with decorations in the shape of peacock feathers and wears golden and blue heeled sandals; the fourth is a purple dress with yellow and blue decorations, golden belt and cross-shaped necklace; the last dress she wears when she marries Aladdin is white with yellow and blue decorations and her hair is loose and she also wears various rings in the film.
Role in the film[]
In this iteration, Jasmine is forbidden to leave the palace by orders of her overprotective father but does so regularly by posing as Dalia. The reason for her confinement is the mysterious murder of her mother, which left the Sultan fearing for their daughter's life. During one of her outings, she meets Aladdin, sparking their eventual romance.
When Genie tells Aladdin that he cannot let someone instantly fall in love with another, Aladdin tells him to turn him into a prince so that he can get Jasmine's attention, especially during the musical number "Prince Ali". Aladdin then attempts to get her attention during a party but fails to. Aladdin finally gets her attention when he tells her to trust him to ride on Carpet, which takes him and Jasmine across the world around the couple during the musical number "A Whole New World". In that scene, the moment where Jasmine takes off Aladdin's turban to find out that "Prince Ali" is actually Aladdin in the marketplace was omitted. Constantly, Aladdin feels upset about himself that he should stop pretending to be a prince from another country to tell Jasmine the truth. When Prince Ali is later revealed to be Aladdin himself, Jafar sends almost everyone in the palace to the dungeon while he sends Aladdin, Abu, and Carpet to a frozen wasteland, except for Jasmine, Dalia, and the Sultan who remain in the palace.
Meanwhile, in the palace, a priest tells Jasmine to know if she wants Jafar to be her husband by marrying him in which she refuses to and takes the lamp to escape the forced marriage, causing Jafar to be enraged; Aladdin notices this as Jasmine escapes with Aladdin, Abu, and Carpet. Enraged, Jafar transforms Iago into the size of a roc to get the lamp back to his master while the priest retreats, to which Iago shrinks back to his normal self after the Sultan tackles him to stop his plan from destroying the kingdom. Aladdin and Jasmine also witness Jafar's rage bringing a powerful storm to destroy Agrabah in which, during the battle, Jasmine and the remaining survivors in the palace are captured while the Jafar uses his final wish to become a powerful genie. Soon after, Jafar and Iago are both defeated due to the Genie's warning that a genie without an owner gets trapped back inside its lamp. Aladdin apologizes for lying to Jasmine. Meanwhile, after Aladdin used his final wish to the Genie to set him free, he and Jasmine marry together as she finally finds a prince to marry (this was not in the animated version as in the original, they both sing a reprise of "A Whole New World" which was omitted in the remake). Jasmine is later seen dancing with everyone in the palace during a "Friend Like Me" reprise.
