In the same city, in the royal palace, Princess Jasmine is very sad.

Eager for life and adventures, she sneaks out of the palace and heads to the city, where she stumbles upon Aladdin.

However, a search was launched for her, led by the Grand King’s Vizier Jafar.

Talented director Guy Ritchie brings us a romantic and musical adventure set in the fictional port city of Agrabah. The main roles are played by a Genie emerging from a magic lamp, the charming street rat Aladdin and Jasmine, a modest and determined princess of the free spirit.

Their adventure is joined by the magical wizard Jafar, the Sultan who is worried about the well-being and future of his daughter Jasmine, Jasmine’s best friend Dalia, the handsome and arrogant suitor Prince Anders and Hakim as Jafar’s first assistant and captain of the guard.

Do You Need to Watch Aladdin Movies in Order?

The first three animated movies need to be watched in order because they are a continuation of the story. The TV show, however, doesn’t have to be, but it is a continuation of the second movie. Still, it is not important for the third animated movie, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. The live-action movie can be watched whenever it suits you, but I would watch it after animated versions.

Will There Be More Aladdin Movies?

There will most probably be more live-action Aladdin movies. Probably, an adaptation of animated The Return of Jafar. There was also a talk about the spin-off Aladdin movie focusing on Prince Anders. That said, we still don’t have anything officially confirmed.
