Aladdin Digital Copy Bonus Features
The slimiest snake within Agrabah is of course Jafar. This psychopathic, power craving trickster abused his relationship with the Sultan, stole rare treasures and amassed influence over the city. Jafar was designed to be a straight edged, devious villain reminiscent of one of Disney’s great villains, Maleficent. Jafar definitely lived up to her legacy and established one of his own which is why today we are going to dive into how he became the evil royal vizier and what happened to him after his first encounter with Aladdin.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

I just realized -- Jafar didn't know Prince Ali was actually Aladdin when he had him chained up and thrown off a cliff to drown. That means that for all Jafar knew, he was assassinating a foreign prince. And he never stopped to consider how that could start a war between Agrabah and Prince Ali's country? Damn.
That could have escalated quickly. Thanks for watching!
It is possible that Jafar claimed to the guards that Prince Ali raped Jasmine. In Islamic cultures back then, raped was such a major offense that even royalty could be legally put to death.
pompe221 He's a sorcerer, I doubt he was concerned.
I wonder why that changed. lol
+Drew Asaro Good for them, it still is this way to this day.
Why Jafar is the best Disney villain.
When he became the sultan he gave Iago his own little hat.
It was cool but Jafar was not one of the brightest villains. That is what hurt him. He made 2 huge mistakes that ruined him.
MitchCyan One of the best
G
, b
Noah l Smith he’s not dumb, he just lets power get to his head
Is it just me or is the Sultan too nice to be a ruler??? He seems like a pushover....
Erica The Friendly Pisces I think that's the point. That's why Jafar was able to control him so well even without his staff.
The HackingBurger I love your icon pic
Ajudithh Thank you! ^_^
The sultan was either an idiot or perhaps mentally challenged, he played with toys and didn't know how his kingdom ran and was distracted by any movement or "shinny object" ... he didn't even teach his daughter, Jasmine, the future Queen how the economy worked since she had no idea what payment was. A kindly, "special" man but woefully inept. Sigh, maybe Jafar should have been in charge?
Tyrysly I agree
I think perhaps a mixture of the two. The way society treated him is part of what made Jafar the way he was, but so was the way he reacted to it. I actually didn't know about his implied origins before, but if he came from a similar background to Aladdin that would add an interesting dimension to the story and them being each other's foil; that they turned out so differently because Jafar focused on how he was wronged and putting himself in a position of power so he could tear down those who once had power over him, while Aladdin's experience being powerless lead him to be empathetic towards other in a similar position and made him a kinder person
Still feel bad for Jafar though
Personally, I like Twisted the best. It basically does the same thing that Maleficent did to Sleeping Beauty. It tells Jafar's backstory, and why he became known as a villain. His past is, like most villains, sad. But, it is a surprisingly good musical.
See you have to follow the golden rule who ever mentions twisted makes the rules
Cheshire Cat 5732 Yesss! Twisted is great lmao.
YES
Yes
Jafar and Scar are my two favorite Disney villains.
Am I the only one wondering about Jafar's twin sister's story? Far as I'm aware, we never hear that much about her...
Same!
Carissa Carlson IKR
carissa carlson samies
I know I didn't even know he had a twin sister!
Hannah Skeldon
bruh same
Jafar is a twin!?... wow
Jafar had a sister why didn't we see her in any of the movies.
I didn't know he was a twin!
I know right damn
I realize that the live action Aladdin took most of Jafar's original back story into consideration when re-imagining his character. Good video Wotso!
The live action Jafar sucks but I do like more of his backstory in it
@@IcyDiamond Agreed. they took away his clever wit, his disguises, his lunatic-style fun when he became sorcerer, and in all honesty worst yet, never even allowed him to transform into a giant snake. I was ABSOLUTELY begging to see that scene in live action. But all we got was giant Iago, who never even talking the entire movie...horrendous.
One of my favorite villains. I learned about his sister and backstory in this video, so this just made him and the whole story of Aladdin even more interesting
Me too
Same. Jafar is the GOAT
Jafar is one of my favorite Disney villains he is just OOZING with vicious evil all the time and its amazing
I wish to be, an all powerful genie!
@@leociresi4292 Jafar is so sinister and demonic. He really is the personification of evil.
Same. Jafar is the GOAT
It's weird that Jafar's sister was never mentioned in the series or the sequels.
How about a video on Frollo's past or Gaston's past?
Juan nardelli I would love to see one on Gaston, especially since the new film released it gives us some more info about his past!
Juan nardelli yassss
Yes! Do it!
Juan nardelli Gaston yes
That would be awesome, especially for Gaston; that would be fascinating.
to me I think he was truly an evil evil man that was due to his childhood
John's World well maybe to us he is evil but that doesn't mean there isn't another layer to this villain, if his childhood shaped him to be the way he is, his childhood could've changed him back, but unfortunately it hasn't
I think he's evil because he read the Quran and turned evil because of fucking Mohamed
Jaafar is a very bad representation of Jaafar ibn Yehya who was the vizier of Harun Al Rashid of the Abbasid Caliphate.
The Sultan Harun killed him because, the family of Jaafar wanted more power and eventually steal the crown. Jaafar was very close to Harun and both considered themselves as brothers as they grew up together but, Harun executed him and his whole family. Jaafar in Aladin is simply the reincarnation of Jaafar Ibn Yeyha who wants a revenge. Jaafar was very loyal to Harun and no he wasn't evil.
Facts : Jaafar ibn Yeyha was a scientific in real life too. His family served the Abbassid Dynasty and did a lot for the Abbassid Caliphate. Also Jaafar in Alaadin is litteraly Jaafar ibn Yehya... (He isn't just a representation)
I LOVE Jafar! He's my favorite Disney character ever! Jafar was running Agrabah not the idiot Sultan. I loved him in once upon a time in wonderland especially...
Jafar is the man
Same! A true legend. Sultan was a naive, childish and gullible fool
Jafar is my favorite Disney character to Bethany!
Jafar: The cold, calculating, focused villain who will cackle at his own lame puns when he does allow himself to enjoy the moment. Love this guy. XD
Kinda like me 🤪😆😜
Same. Jafar is the GOAT
I'd love to see a video on Razoul, the captain of the guards. He becomes a complex character in the TV series.
He is not a PHYSCOPATH HE IS A SOCIOPATH
When it comes to villains, he makes the best laugh so maniacal it’s like not even funny he literally is perfect being a Disney villain😎😎😎
Jafar is the GOAT
"Perhaps you would like to see just how snake-like I can be! " great villain, I have his tongue :-B
Pun!
I enjoy Jafar he’s my favorite Disney character he makes me smile and laugh every day
Iconic villain, fitting he bacame a genie ( Djin, evil genie)
You really cheer me up! I’ve been stuck in bed and hospital for the past few days,and I’ve been able to enjoy myself thanks to you
Maleficent + Judge Claude Frollo=Jafar
Jafar, Scar, Maleficent, Hook, they are my favorite villains!
Does Jafar have a breathing problem or something? Because his laugh is creepy
its funny but ur voice sounds like aladdin's right now
I was kind of thinking that while I was recording. I guess it wasn't just me. Thanks for watching!
Is his name scott
Not really...
if he has a sister, Jay from descendants has an aunt
How about Hades (FULL STORY)
It's curious that Jafar became the red genie from the original tale while Genie was based on the lesser blue djinni that was bound to the ring Aladdin got from his still very much alive mother.
The "historical" Grand Vizier of Persia, Jafar bin Yahya, who served as a model for the Aladdin's Jafar, belonged to the dynasty named the Barmakid, the petty nobility of Persia of the ancient Afghani descent.
Fun fact jafar was inspired by maleficent from sleeping beauty since they both carry staffs , have birds as their sidekicks and pets, and they both have large headress
Of course he went crazy! Imagine being the only responsible adult in a court compose of a soft probably insane Sultan and his irresponsible teenage daughter who not only didn't care about a very important law, but refuses to understand anything about her own land, and doesn't even understand the concept of money!.
And Aladdin was a deceiving con artist, who didn't have any money or kingdom and a marriage like that will probably destroy the economy, not to mention the already week alliances with foreign realms, whose princes had been offended by Jazmin.
I love jafar, I love a good make villain with magic, but you forgot that in once upon a time in wonderland Jafar also went to wonderland to help the red queen, to get the three genie lamps to break the laws of magic
I know a friend that could be the Villain like Jafar Her Name is Mackenzie Fraser She's from Avon Grove High School Maybe she can be the Most Powerful being Just like Jafar
Have you done one on Aladdin's full story? I'd love to hear about how our beloved royal streetrat was really raised.
Great origin story, I did not know that Hades brought jafar back to life, very interesting...
yeah in the aladdin series he and hades meet and they have this really cool crossover between the aladdin series and the hercules series
Man, these videos are amazing! You definitely deserve more subs. As for the KH question, YES!! He is constantly going into his ball form. Anyway, keep up the great work!!!
I'm glad you are liking them! Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
*Prince Abobo*
Okay this has nothing to do with the video but The way Sultan walks makes him ADORABLE!!
*Just me? Okay*
Agreed
I love jafar ! He is so funny 😂
You know, one thing about the movie Aladdin that I never understood (and have yet to find a solid, definitive explanation for) is why Jafar only ever hypnotized the sultan. If his backup plot for power was to marry into the throne, why not hypnotize and manipulate both the sultan and jasmine? I've looked around the internet, but I couldn't find a satisfactory answer to this.
Three years late, but perhaps it may be that The Sultan may be more weak-willed or might have a lower charisma score than Jafar.
@Susie The hypnotism exclusively? The staff worked on other people before the upgrade.
I have one major issue with Aladdin: why did everyone just let it slip by that the Palace Guards attempted to execute a prince on Jafar's orders. Like, it's one thing to take orders to arrest Aladdin the street rat for being a "menace", but what justification was there to take orders to quietly kill him when they thought he was Prince Ali? Pretty sure they weren't all under control by the Cobra staff. Like seriously, Razoul (I hope that's how you spell it) looked like the kind of guy who just wanted to kill for fun. Why was he still kept around as head of the guards and not kicked out. . .or, at the very least, demoted?
NikitaRoqueSox Corruption perhaps? The sultan never seemed to me to be the kind to really care about what's going on, and therefore left Jafar in charge of such "mediocre" tasks like choosing the palace guards. Maybe Razoul (I have no idea either) hid his true nature like Jafar himself.
Or maybe Jafar convince them that Aladdin was a deceiving con artist (he kinda was) and they believed they were doing it for the greater good. Like if the princess believes he just leaved she would probably move on and marry someone more suitable and the country would be in better hands.
Jafar may have claimed Jasmine was raped by the Prince. (But not on camera because it's Disney) In Islamic cultures back then, rape was such a major offense that even royalty could be legally put death , for such a crime. Until Jasmine claimed her side of the story, the royal guards then turned on Jafar for his lie.
It could've been due to Loyalty to Jafar, over loyalty to the Sultan, Agrabah or law.
That's how many usurpers came to power, loyal individuals that wanted a regime change and wanted that particular person in power. But if anything happened to that usurper, those under him could easily claim "following orders" and not be sentenced to death or any form of punishment at all.
Ain't no different than real life psycho cops killing innocent people esp minorities and getting exonorated
That's weird that they would introduce a twin sister in the video game. Something that not everyone has played. I hate when things do that.
Tell me about it.
Jafar kinda reminds me of ganon from the legend of Zelda how he always trying to take over and rule hyrule and every time link try's to destroy him he's always coming back to try to finish what he started
One thing I've noticed recently after rewatching Aladdin is just how Jafar's charisma blinds him from easier solutions. Since he is able to hypnotize the Sultan with his scepter, why didn't he make the Sultan step down and crown him as the new monarch of Agrabah? Professor Ratigan tried doing that with a robotic queen 6 years earlier, yet the directors didn't think of that idea? It is possible that Jafar tried that once and since people grew suspicious, he had to brainwash everyone to forget it happened to protect his position in the palace.
I think you answered your own question 😜 it would've been way too obvious, and Jasmine would've raised hell about it.
Q:Do you think Jafar was pure evil or product of his society?
A (1992 film): Pure Evil
A (2019 film): Product of his society
Exactly! The animated film makes a better appearance of him than in the live-action! Hands down he is more menacing in the 1992 version!
For my opinion I liked the film with jafar being Pure Evil and Powerfully He should take over agroba
the video says, "Only a diamond in the rough may enter." It's like the song tamatoa sings when he says, "Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough."
Melissa Gardner or Hamilton because the director of Hamilton wrote the music for moana and that pharse is used in the musical
Can you tell us more about Jafar's sister?
Thanks for this video! I was looking forward to it. Jafar's my favorite Disney villain 😃
I'm glad I could make it then! Thanks for wathcing!
Likewise.
Same. Jafar is the GOAT
It's always interesting to hear about origins. I didn't know that much about Jafar until I came here.
I had a major crush on jafar and still do especially with marwin kenzari in the live-action.
Jafar were realy terrifying to me when I were younger
now im 17 years old, Im actually still a bit scared of him
I got a bit traumatized by him or smth like that :)
3:19 Could Jafar also be a time traveler? Could he have gotten those guns and that dynamite from the future?
I'd have to say the best version of Jafar's backstory is the Starkids production of Twisted. It's hilarious and a happy ending. It's free on CZcams and definitely worth watching
eggrahbah!!!lol I'm dying,great vid tho
Snuggled up watching the back story of the evil Jafar. I think Jafar was evil because of bullying during his life by others and arrogance on his part. But he is still very evil. Thanks for the video Wotso, hope you are doing well and having a magical day. Can't wait to see what delights you have for us to enjoy next. Also please could you maybe do Judge Claude Frollo's back story. All we know of him is what we saw in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. Thank you.
Man I would love a genie in a lamb right now
I noticed how in most of the scenes you tried to make what you were saying with what Jafar's lips were reading. Clever
you forgot to look into his true background provided by once upon a time in wonderland. you should check it out it does a great job explaining his psychology
"Once Upon a Time" as the good fellow said before me, is not canon. It just takes existing characters and makes them more sinister.
Jhenny Dorival I don't know there is a once a upon time background for jafar?
Fun topics for fun people (:
You know it! Thanks for watching!
OMG YOU RESPONDED thanks!
Wotso Videos Do me a favor. On the next disney theory, do Kerchak from Tarzan. I would like to know about his past and I wonder if he hated humans which lead to him disliking Tarzan
Jafar is my third favorite Disney villain he is a very great villain I think he is a well put together character. He is also very interesting and I am happy to have watched this movie a million times the live action one was not to bad. But this film will be the best Aladdin movie forever.
I just discovered your channel, and I especially love the Villains series. You should do Dr. Facilier next.
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos you are finding so far of mine! Dr. Facilier is awesome. Princess and the Frog is so underrated. Thanks for watching!
Jafar has long since been my favourite Disney Villain. I think that he became a being of pure evil, partially due to his early years, and partially/mainly because of his immense lust for power.
@@user-zr4wh3lh5v Indeed he is.
@@user-zr4wh3lh5v Maybe. In my opinion Jafar is the greatest Disney Villain. He succeeded in dominating the universe, multiple times. One of those times was in Mickey's House of Villains, when he led all the other villains against the heroes and succeeded in overthrowing them all, becoming the new ruler of the Disney-verse for a time.
@@user-zr4wh3lh5v Too true.
@@user-zr4wh3lh5v Jafar was able to keep all of the other Disney Villains under his control without any issue, so his capabilities as a ruler are undoubtable.
@@user-zr4wh3lh5v Yep
Hey Wotso!! I love your videos on the origins of villains do you think you could do one on the step mother from Cinderella, or have you and I'm just completely forgetting? Well if you haven't could you I'd love to see something on why she is the way she is. Why is she so horrible to Cinderella? Did she actually love Cindys father? Love your videos Wotso and keep it up your channel gets so much support from the fan that love you! (Me included)!!
I'm glad you are liking all of the villain origins! I have not done one on the evil stepmother, but I know it would be a fun one to make. Probably the next one I'm going to make is Maleficent, but I will for sure do one on her in the future. Thanks for watching!
Ajudithh well I'm joining it, I hope there's more?
Wotso Videos Wouldn't it make more sense if Jafar was the crab from Mauna?? just a Theory
If they made a live action Aladdin they can cast snoop dogg as jafar. Because he kinda looks like him.
awesome video:D not to ask on the spot cuz this might be a short one umm do you have anything on the TRON villain the MCP and Sark? and CLU?
Don't forget Twisted
🎭B.Radley Pro.👾 I was looking for this comment. :)
in Descendants, Mal turns into a dragon like her mother, Maleficent. In Aladdin, Jafar becomes a snake. So does that mean Jay can become a snake like his father?
My favorite Disney Villain.
why not both? just because he is a product of society does not mean he did not become pure evil
I can definitely relate to jafar, by having older sister and a younger brother that always out do me in academics, but unlike him I never resorted to be evil.
Jafar is truly the greatest Disney villain of all time
Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies. Could you do a video on Iago's story. He is my favorite character.
Just a slight mention here: there was a plan for Jafar to have a son but instead it is hinted it is just his disciple that he took under his wing similiar to Kovu and Scar. This character would grow to be a well loved pale dark sorcerer named Mozenrath. Mozenrath was also slated to be an evil brother of Aladdin in one of the films for he did not take to being poor as happily as his brother and maybe even felt like since his brother was so goody goody he got more affection. Though scrapped he still looks similair to our pal Al, albeit pasty and more gothic in tone. If you wanted to combine multipile theories and suggest that planned ideas are still canon then perhaps jafar and Aladdins mother had Mozenrath since jafar grew up poor and could have met her that way. Seeking power not love jafar left his family and Aladdins mother met and wed Aladdins father Cassim. This would have meant at some point jafar could have been Aladdins stepfather and things could have turned out much more different. This also adds to the original story where the vizier has either one or two sons he wants to marry the princess off to. Im not a fan of theories and debunk them but when i find one that interests me i take to it and you have provided some solid ones. This is one of my own and stems from a place of extensive knowledge on Aladdin. Ive also assumed that Ali baba was Aladdins Uncle thus their similar names but thats another thought for another time. Let me know what you think and im happy to further discuss and debate.
I enjoy Jafar he’s silly funny sarcastic and hilarious he looks very classy handsome and nice the robe is very nice and besides he is the boy version of Maleficent and he even possesses the same power as her and Mickey but he really isn’t evil I like him
Omg! Someone finally used the episode of Disney toons! That's how I solved the Disney theory by the way!
I'm happy you appreciated the reference! Thanks for watching!
Jafar definitely lived up to "her" destiny
Jafar serves as the inspiration for one of Sony pictures animations newest villains, pockets from wish dragon
Sooooo just thought I'd point out that the bandits name is Mal, and human. And Mal from decendents father is human. And the VK's commonly have names like their parents. It could be short for maleficent, but still.
thanks for this video I great full to you my friend as jafar said you'll get whats coming to you
Do Evie's father , Jay's mother and Carlos' father from desendants
I want to know more about Gaston and why he was a pompous jerk.
Shot in the dark, but here's what I gather about Gaston: born into a rich family, with a father obsessed with hunting and an overly doting submissive mother. Bullied kids in school and got away with it. Got away with a lot of things in general, thanks to a powerful lineage who threw money at problems to make them disappear. Hazed freshmen in college, eventually decided he was too cool for school so he dropped out to become a hunter like his daddy, kept the frat boy attitude as a souvenir while viewing himself as God's gift to women. Going through life as a chauvinistic pig who never had to deal with consequences for his actions, Gaston had no incentive to ever be a better person. He also never had anyone say No to him... Except for Belle.
This is a totally paraphrased summary, how did I do???😆
2:48 That's why one never discloses one's goals...
...so one's enemies even would be enemies, won't know where to hurt you..!!
ONE of my FAVE villians
Rest In Power! Gilbert! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for doing jafar
I'm in the ensemble in Aladdin jr! I love this video!:)
I'm happy you liked it! Thanks for watching!
i love your vids
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
At any point, did it ever cross Aladdin's mind that the strange old man was really Jafar?
Jafar is definitely the strongest villain out there.
I love the way your fowl little mind works!
There's no basis to suggest that he was "a psychopath."
I definitely enjoyed this video.
Glad to hear you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I love the second movie return of Jafar
Although they should have kept his original Djin transformation. It was badass!
Never knew Hades revived him, but that would be something with great potential if Disney ever did a crossover villain movie. Have Hades revive/call upon all the past iconic villains who met their demise to assist with some scheme.
Jafar is my favorite Disney villain
Wotso: A diamond in the rough
Me: *A SHINY PIECE OF COAL, MY POWER OF SPEECH, UNIMPEACHABLE! ONLY 19 BUT MY MIND IS OLDER, THESE NEW YORK STREETS GET COLDER, I SHOULDER*
You solved one of my question
I did not expect to see myself in the beginning
Nice video.can you please do kaa from jungle book's backstory
oh my goodness. How did I not subscribe before?
I'm not sure! If you are subscribed now, welcome to the party! Thanks for watching!
I have to watch Aladdin again now. XD
Now you should do Mozenrath! :D
