Cave of Wonders

The Cave of Wonders is a fictional location featured in the 1992 animated feature film Aladdin. It was also featured in the 1994 direc-to-video sequel, The Return of Jafar. Despite being a locale, the Cave of Wonders was quasi-sentient and even had speaking lines. It was voiced by actor Frank Welker.

Description
The Cave of Wonders was a mystical subterranean region located some miles outside the main population center of Agrabah. The cave cannot be seen or accessed by ordinary mortals, but must in fact be summoned, by connecting to pieces of an insect-shaped medallion together. Upon doing so, the desert sands coalesce into the shape of a mountain-sized tiger's head, which can speak. The cave is filled with various treasures including a magic flying carpet and the magic lamp containing the genie. Only those whom the cave deems worthy may enter it's confines - a "diamond in the rough".
