Aladdin
A merchant from the kingdom of Agrabah sets up his shop and attempts to cajole potential buyers into purchasing his wares. Failing to impress with his traditional fare, he pulls out a magic lamp and goes on to explain the story of how this particular item once changed the course of a young man's life. The man, like the lamp, was more than what he seemed - a "diamond in the rough".

A tall stately man named Jafar and his pet parrot, Iago, traverse the desert where they meet up with a greedy little underling named Gazeem. Gazeem hands Jafar one half of a scarab pendant. When he joins it with the second half already in his possession, the item turns into twin bursts of light that fly off, pointing the way to their destination - the Cave of Wonders. The desert sands rise to form the head of a giant tiger. Its mouth is the entranceway into the cave. The cave bellows forth in a monstrous voice, declaring that only one whose "worth lies within" may enter. Gazeem enters the cave, but is immediately deemed unworthy. The cave collapses upon him, burying him in the sand. The voice echoes, "Seek me out the diamond in the rough".

Aladdin is a young man who lives on the streets of Agrabah. He has no money and no home and makes a living by stealing from the market vendors with his monkey cohort Abu. The royal guards find him after he nabs a piece of bread and they give chase. Aladdin and Abu scurry all throughout the streets and rooftops of Agrabah, disrupting the other vendors. They eventually manage to elude their pursuers and sit down to enjoy their ill-gotten gains. Aladdin then notices two homeless children poking through garbage looking for scraps of food. Taking pity on them, he gives them the bread he just stole and forces Abu to do the same.
