The story so far
Everything you need before watchingPrince Anders arrives to woo Jasmine. He praises her looks; she throws the compliment back, and he treats it as a joke. He even calls Rajah a striped cat. Then Jafar pushes a marriage alliance and an invasion of her mother's kingdom. The Sultan puts him in his place, but Jafar still tries hypnosis. Jasmine argues she could lead; her father says a woman has never been sultan.
