Golden Pillow, art nouveau journal, 2 coloring books
Over the previous two weeks my Aladdin collection got a lot bigger with addition of Enchanted Jasmine pillow, art nouveau Jasmine journal, a Aladdin sticker parade and Princess coloring book.
The pillow found at spot at my bed to help battle the draft. The journal went, after drooling over it for 10+ minutes, to the storage. I saved a high res-scan found at d_princesses I want to make a wallpaper of it later.
I bought both items at Ultimategifts.nl the Dutch store import’s

The stickerbook has a story behind it. Fifteen years have past since Aladdin was immensely populair with the kids and toystores carried lots of merchandise but anno 2008 it is rare to find any Aladdin merchandise in regular toystores that isn’t part of the Princess line.
So you can imagine my excitement to find a stickerbook at Amsterdam’s largest toystore Toys r’ Us in 2006. Sadly I didn’t had enough money on me and when I went back a few weeks later the book was gone to never return. Fast forward to yesterday, March 27 2008, I was shopping for Lego Castle sets and the Dalmatians DVD at Bart Smith, one of the two largest toystore retail chains in the country, I’ve a habit to check the coloring book section for Princess coloring books with fresh Jasmine pages. There I found this book.
The book counts 16 coloring pages with two sticker areas on each page + 2 sticker pages. All but 2 are on all those general Disney coloring page sites, one I doubt and the remaining two I’ve never seen before.
The first is the scene where Ali is holding Jasmine in his arms and the Sultan compliments him on his fine character. I’ve a litho of that exact same frame hanging on the wall. The second sticker/coloring page has Ali and Jasmine on the rooftop in China and he’s looking dreamy while she’s playing with the apple. They’re in the backburner and eventually will be added to the coloring page gallery.
The thick Princess coloring book I picked up to hails from Germany and counts 16 Aladdin coloring pages and a simalar number for the other girls. One I’ve seen online before but the rest is brand new. Each princess section tells a romantic story involing the princess love interest and her sidekicks.
Jasmine’s story begins while she’s waiting for Aladdin to pick her up for on a carpet ride. They pass the Taj Mahal before having dinner at a beautiful oasis with Genie as their waiter. After a romantic moonlight walk Aladdin gives his love a necklace and flowers before taking her back to the palace. But before he leaves the teenagers cuddle some more the garden where Genie is so touched by young love he almost hugs Rajah to death.
With 17 plus the ones from I still have laying around there are many more coloring pages coming to Streetrat in 2008.

Wow, very nice!!! I love Jas in the hula!! Great detective work.
P.S. What does anno mean? This word is not in English. Do you mean year?

I always thought anno was also an English word. It means ‘begining in this year’ in Dutch so yes it means year.
Thank you for those pictures by the way I knew Jasmine on the carousel and the princess portrait, they’re beautiful specially the portait with other princesses and Minnie. Whom who drew Jasmine in tose spring dresses could use some more study on how to draw her. She looked better, very off-model.

The Spring Jasmine was drawn by Disney surprisingly! I don’t like the way they drew her either but it’s better then what I could’ve drawn. haha.
As far as anno, we don’t have a word like that. We like to explain things the hard way…in four words or more hahaha. Usually they say “coming” or “premiering” in 2008.
