The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAladdin slipped into the palace claiming he only came back to return a bracelet his monkey stole. He still thinks Jasmine is a servant and invites her for a stroll while the princess is out. Then tea arrives for Princess Jasmine, and the cover collapses. He overplays royalty until a tiger appears and she throws him out — after he names a courtyard meeting. Watch how a break-in gets dressed as courtesy.
