8+ Differences We Found Between The 'Aladdin' Live-Action Movie And The Original

In the cartoon, the movie begins with a street trader telling the story of Aladdin.

No such thing happens in the live action remake.

In the cartoon version, Jasmine wants to escape the castle altogether.

In the remake, she actually wants to be a ruler. They gave her the most feminist vibe! She even got out of trouble by a song instead of being seductive.

Okay, not exactly, but he still raps a lot in the movie.

They clearly used Smith's talents as much as possible.

Between her inner struggles, and having moments completely dedicated to her character growth, this Jasmine got a much larger role.

In the cartoon, he was barefoot the entire time.

But in all fairness, that probably wouldn't have translated well to film.

Considering our previous entry, it only makes sense that she would get her own song!

In the cartoon, this is what Aladdin sings as he steals the bread from the market.

In the re-make, Jasmine is with him for that song.

In the original cartoon, it's the carpet that sneaks up on Aladdin!

But in the new film, Aladdin has to work for the carpet to be on his side.

In fact, it is Jasmine who takes a loaf of bread to give to a child!

In the cartoon, she gave a child an apple.

Jafar is more interesting in the war in the live-action film. He wants to be Sultan so he could destroy the peace.
