Can you help me identify these characters?

A friend of mine sent me this picture wondering if I knew who these characters are. I think the girl might be Jasmine but I'm not sure. They say Disney on them.

The guy on the left is Aladdin's father, and you're right, the one on the right is Jasmine.
Those were given out in Happy Meals by McDonalds for the release of Aladdin and the King of Thieves in around 1996 I think.
THE ONLY REASON why I know this is because I have the exact same toys, because I was 5 at the time :lol:

The girl is Jasmine and the male figure is Aladin's father, Cassim.
Both Figurines are from the 3rd installment of Aladdin.
Aladdin and the King of the 40 thieves

Cassim looks so icky in that toy. He's devilishily handsome in the movie.

...What?! :lookaroun

Aladdin's father was voiced by John Rhys-Davies! Whoa! Since when did ACTUAL voice talent sign on for one of the Cheapquel movies?

He also did Jungle Book 2 and was the voice of Ranjan's father.

The Hunchback sequel had most (if not all) the original voice talent. Most chapquels do a pretty good job getting the cast back. The movies make Disney so much money that they can afford to bring back most of the actors.

In the songs Cassim was in, he didn't actually sing, though, that was someone else. That made me sad, cause John Rhys-Davies has a wonderfully strong singing voice (think Raiders of the Lost Ark).

And here's your free bit of trivia for the day...


The name "Cassim" is actually original to the first "Aladdin" movie. There were two drafts done of the film, and after Menken and Ashman had already almost completed a treatment of the songs for the film, the directors decided they wanted to scrap everything they had and re-write the story, giving us the "Aladdin" that was released in 1992.

In that original version of "Aladdin," Aladdin had 3 friends/sidekicks: Babkak, Omar...and Cassim.

That also gave us, IMHO, the lamest Menken song ever. :lol:
