I got the idea from a youth play called "Aladdin Jr" (an adaptation of the story meant for younger performers). In that version, the Sultan says something similar to Jasmine when Prince Ali turns out to be Aladdin.
Also I'm gonna bring in Rajah, Iago, Cassim, Thundra, and Abu. I'll Have it that Phzir, the blind guy who was really a cyclops transported these five to the pride lands. Also I was thinking Rajah would be fighting Zira if she goes after Jasmine and would win since he's bigger. Also Thundra wouldn't let Jafar near her little Giblet Iago.
