I don’t believe I have blogged this tribute before.

I think Aladdin said something in the line of this post’s title. If he didn’t she should’ve. While the episode Eye Of the Beholder had it’s faults I believe it’s the best testament of Aladdin’s love and devotion for Jasmine.

I caught That Stinking Feeling last weekend. It such a funny episode, Iago and Abu doing their usual get-rich-quick scheme, this time a huge golden ring protected by a dormant plant monster. Uncouthma at the palace dinner party juggling Jasmine and Sultan hilarious.
I love that big guy. So I looked around on Deviant. See he has fans with artistic skills too.

Here comes Uncouthma by =FluffyZeliboba on deviantART

Youtube’r chanforcartoons is uploading the series in Russian. I just watched Bad Mood Rising it’s fun to watch it in a completly different langauge then English or Dutch. I laughed when Iago said “Now if that pumice-headed genie would just make an appearance…” I knew that a second later big blue would crash on him just like he did before and would many times over. Hilarious!

After watching Ariel’s Beginning Mermaid 1 back to back the rest of my evening was spend looking for and reading about Ariel. And so it happens I came across a post on LittleAriel Forum about the on and off model of The Little Mermaid characters in the television series.

A screenshot of a caricatured, off model Ariel looks familiar. I’m quite sure I’ve seen Jasmine with similar expression one episode in the Aladdin TV series. I checked ”Of Ice and Men”,  “Getting the Bugs Out” and ”I Never Mechanism I Didn’t Like” which where the best candidates I could think of. To blunt: I don’t know and need help identifying that stupid episode because I won’t rest until I know. 

Trough Disney-Princess club I spotted fan art from the series episode “Do The Rat Thing” in where Jasmine and Iago are turned into animals and spend the day trying to get back to the palace for help. The princess learned to respect her poor citizens more getting a fresh perspective on her city at the time. The piece is made by purplegoldfish in 2006.

Heather uploaded the transcript of “Which Way Did She Go”. The last Sadira episode in where she meets her sandwich sisters and prevents them from taking over the city. With the other 3 transcripts 1/3 of the Aladdin TV series has got a transcript.

Worth mentioning is Unali’s Disney art gallery at Deviant Art. Her work varies between so-so to excellent there’s some Aladdin related art like Mirage in the episode “The Lost Ones” Wicked!! And a drawing of an Elkatib, childeren who years ago joined the sorceress. I think it was that they don’t have to grow up. Anyway the catch is that they can only walk the earth one night every seven years.
The episode is on YouTube though I can’t promise you it’s still there in a few months. If that’s the case surf to Aladdin Central’s image gallery for over 320 screenshots the transcript is there too.

Heather made lots of screens of the Mozenrath episode Black Sand, free for grabs but a back link to Aladdin Central’s Image Galllery is much appreciated. Anyway I thought it was a good time to discuss Black Sand.

Mozenrath uses the mysterious black sand the replace everyone with a disguised Mamluck. Rasoul and his guards are the first victims to the sand, next is Jasmine followed by Genie and the Sultan even Aladdin is sucked into the world of the black sand.
It’s my least favorite Mozenrath episode and an average series episode. The story is shaking; it takes a long time before the story takes off. Iago has a few funny lines and Genie he’s an idiot Like when’s succumbed to the sand, delivered in a wooden barrel he thinks it’s the barrel fairy giving him the container. Lucky his role is relative small. Iago is the one with the smart remarks like prying at the Jasmine mamluck, the parrot doesn’t know she’s a mamluck, if there’s a party at hand.
There’s a good piece of action halfway in a fight between Aladdin and the Jasmine clone. Because after Aladdin’s succumbed to the sand Carpet in essence saves the day by going in attached to a rope giving his friends an escape route while Iago and Abu distract Mozenrath and Xerxes.
The good guys return to Agrabah, they fight off the Mamlucks and Mozenrath is defeated by his own hand.

Abis is one of my favorites in the silly villain catagory, actually he is my most favorite silly villain in the Aladdinverse beating the likes of Mecanicles and Amin by a long shot. Sadly I don’t see much Mal on Deviant Art so you can imagine my joy seeing zimeta88 uploaded Abis Mal fanart.

… to burn Agrabah to the ground. Drawn by Lithor and Captain-Lilou this is by far the best drawing of Mirage I’ve seen at DeviantArt. Aladdin’s worse feline opponent comes to live with incredible detail, beautiful coloring & shading. The rest of this graphic artist work is certainly worth a visit. Also, over at Aladdin Central there’s a nice short discussion starring the big bad kitty.

Duck Amuck is a classic Daffy Duck 1953 cartoon in it Daffy is abused by it’s animator when his background are changing like every second, the colors are messed up even Daffy’s body is shape shifted to look like a walking flower with a flag on his tail. The form looks similar to the freaky form Jasmine gets in Do The Rat Thing, I wonder if the writers Jan Strnad & Douglas Langdale where aiming for a reference to that Daffy cartoon.

Someone posted the Italian Series Intro on YouTube it reminded me of the mid 90′s, it was around ’95 I think when I saw some of my favorite Aladdin episodes like The Secret of Dagger Rock on the Italian channel RaiUno. My local TV provider had the channel behind a set-top box which I didn’t have still despite the bad static on regular cable I could watch and hear bits and pieces.
