Aladdin (Character)

Aladdin is the main character of Aladdin: The Series. He first appeared on television in Aladdin: the Animated Series. He is voiced by Scott Weinger although his singing voice is provided by Brad Kane.

Personality
Aladdin is portrayed as clever, and ultimately a good-hearted person. Like most Disney male protagonists he is a brave young man who seeks to win the affection of many other characters, which demonstrates his insecurity. He is not above lying and stealing, but never with evil intentions, but in order to survive. The biggest difference from the norm is that, unlike most youthful Disney heroes, he is a doer rather than a passive character.

Appearance
As a street rat he wears a red fez on his head, a purple vest without a shirt, and white billowing pants. He is barefoot. Pretending to be Prince Ali Ababwa, he wears a white outfit with matching turban-style head wrap, adorned with a feather and jewel. At the beginning of the third film, Aladdin wears his original clothes with certain diffences to show his life in the palace; such as gold lining on his vest and pointed boots that cover his shins.

Personal Life
When Aladdin is introduced initially, he is 18 years old. He never received a formal education, and has only learned by being on the streets of Agrabah. He steals to survive, making him a sort of Robin Hood-type thief.[1] Aladdin was born 18 years prior to the events in the first film. He was born to Cassim and his wife. When Aladdin was only an infant, his father left him and his mother in order to find a better life for his family. When Aladdin was two, his mother was captured by bandits and was presumed dead. Aladdin's parents were too poor to provide clothing for their son. When Aladdin was seven, he had his first encounter with Razoul, the new captain of the Sultan's guard. Aladdin had stolen an apple from a fruit stand. Initially, the boy managed to outmaneuver the guards. Eventually, he was apprehended and sentenced to detention within the palaced dungeon. However, he managed to escape by picking the locks to his chains. When he was twelve, he stole a vest, a pair of pants, and a fez from a clothes line. When he was sixteen he fell in with a group of circus performers, one of whom was the monkey Abu.
