Garden of Evil

Extraordinary!

Lovely...

Who trespasses in my garden?

My masterpiece?

I... I... I...

You are a fool!

Your sword may sever every limb,

but my power will always bloom!

I’m sorry! I just wanted to
bring a flower to my new bride!

No one shall defile the
art of Arbutus and live!



Release me and you
shall be greatly rewarded!

Your reward means nothing to me.

You have my word! My most
precious treasure will be yours!

Yes...?

erhaps one day your
kingdom could enhance mine...

an addition to my
garden's beauty.

Oh, indeed. Agrabah is
rich with wonderful treasure.

Hear me! In twenty summers
I shall come for your most...

'Precious treasure', he said.

Oh, Father! What
a terrible nightmare!

No, no, dearest.

I’m afraid it's all too real.

It was... It was twenty
years ago from this very day!

Twenty years!



And now Arbutus
is coming to collect!

Don't worry, Sultan.
I’ll guard the royal treasury.

Ha! That monster won't touch
a gold flake of your treasure.

Aladdin, you've
been working so hard.

I’ll guard the treasure.

What?
- Sure, Iago...

and I’ll have a jackal guard
the royal peacocks while I’m at it.

Fine. I thought we had a
solid trust bond forming here.

Genie, wake up.

I’m up.

Genie, we have a mission.

We're going to protect
the sultan's treasure.

I am proud to serve!

Uh, first we'll conquer tooth
decay then we'll brush out crime.

See, Father.
Everything will be all right.

I suppose so.

So close and yet so far away!

Midnight and all is well.

Stop that! You'll make me...

(yawns) See!

Hey! Shift's over, monkey.
Gimme the key.

Un-uh! Un-uh!

Hey! Union rules, hairball!

Where is he!?
Unhand the royal jewels!

He's not here, Genie.

But we have to...
(yawns) stay awake.

Genie is one cool cat.

Man, that swings!

Genie! Genie!

Huh? Oh, yes.

Genie, you'll wake
Jasmine and the sultan.

Right! We mustn't
wake them from their

soothing slumber in
their big, soft, comfy beds.

(Genie yawns)

Sleep well, Dearest.

Hush little monkey,
don't say a word.

Iago's gonna be
a very... RICH BIRD!

I can barely keep my eyes open.

Tell us about it!

No! We have a job to do!

The sultan has trusted us to
guard his most precious treasure

and that’s what we're gonna do!

Let that plant beast
make his move! I’m ready.

I shall come for your
most precious treasure.

Jasmine!

Jasmine!

Huh?
- What? Jasmine?

The most precious treasure!

Jasmine!
Arbutus has come for Jasmine!

He won't get her!

Whoa! Back up! You can't
afford to get any shorter!

Father! Aladdin!

Get down! I’ll cut you out!

Ahh! Arbutus!

I'm flattered.
You remembered.

You have haunted my dreams!

I strive to make an impression.

Take any treasure in the
kingdom but leave my daughter be!

Father, look out!

You made a promise! Live
by your word or die by it!

Simple boy.
Were you not warned?

Your blade may sever every limb,

every branch, but my
power will always bloom.

What can I say?

It's function, it's form...
It's art.

It's... thorns!

We all must suffer for
our art, young Aladdin.

Genie!
- Let's say we bust ya outta here!

Nothing can stop...
Genie, the killer caterpillar!

Uh, we're almost there.
Jasmine?

Let me go!
No! Let go!

Jasmine!

Nice try, Arbutus..!

No!

Ahh!

Genie!

I’m so... pretty.

Genie, he took Jasmine!

I... I know the way
to his garden castle!

Haven't we had enough of vegetation!?

I've definitely had enough!

Let me...

go!

I was trying to be courteous.

By stealing me from my
home in the middle of the night?

My methods may be coarse,

but the results are stunning.

What do you want?

Living beauty, and you are that.

You're twisted!

I’m an artist.

You should feel honored to
be part of my masterpiece.

To join only the most
exquisite blossoms,

be they delicate,
robust, or wild.

What kind of
artist has no heart?

A brilliant one!

Hmm.

It needs something.

Lilacs!
Yes!

Look no further, Princess

Let me go!

You're in my hothouse
now, my flower.

You won't get far.

We'll see about that!

Princess! Your impertinence outrages
me,

and yet... I feel... so... inspired!

Hmm, my muse
can be so irritable.

We must work swiftly.

Sorry. I have other plans!

Perhaps... yes!

No! Ahh!

How can you leave
me? I’m not finished yet.

Over the hill! There!

That's where this
nightmare began.

Ooooo!
- Wow!

So what's the big... deal!?

Carpet, let's go!

Yeah! Wait up!

Looks closed. I
think I’ll wait outside.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Abu, Genie, come on!

This whole place
is out to get us.

How you gonna...
- Follow my lead!

Ahhh!

We could just try opening the...

door.

Jasmine! Jasmine!

This way, guys!

So, Jasmine, care to
critique my art now?

I think it's...

it's beautiful.

So was my last work but you
had to run away and ruin it!

You were an integral part
of my design, you know.

I’m not one of your
creations! I’m not a... thing!

A thing!? How typical!

Arbutus, I’m not a flower
you can keep in your garden!

I need my family and friends.

Ah, yes, human needs.

Like you need to hack down my
gorgeous trees and chop them into lumber!

It's not that simple!

Indeed! You burn them for warmth

creating smoke to
block our life-giving sun!

We don't do that on purpose!

Is it an accident when you
rip and pluck my flowers,

condemning them to a
slow death in a vase!?

Slow death?

Your kind! You're all the same!

You treat my beautiful,
living creations as things!

Why should I treat
you any differently?

Arbutus, I...

(Sigh)
- I think I understand.

This place is kind of creepy!

Or should I say
creeping! Uh, uh...

Genie!

Whoa!
- The poor lad! We must free him!

By all means, play through!

Ya got 'em on the run now!

What?
- My word!

Bonappetito!

Not quite a-like
mama's but it'll do.

Thanks, Genie!

My pleasure.

Do you truly understand
me, Princess?

Or is this some human trick?

We humans appreciate
your creations.

The beauty of a flower,
the shade from a tree,

the joy of planting a seed
and watching it grow.

We care.

If only I could believe you.

Perhaps I can! After all...

you do bear the
name of a flower.

Jasmine!

Infidels!

What an ingenious
trap you've set, Princess!

No!

Don't worry, Jasmine!

I’m gonna destroy that monster
if I have to do it leaf by leaf!

You will try, my
callow foe! You will try!

Aladdin! Arbutus!

It doesn't have to be this way!

No!

Thanks, Carpet!

Don't worry, my dear.

Aladdin and Genie
shall vanquish that fiend.

You don't understand!

He doesn't understand.

I never meant any harm!

All I did was pick a flower!

Yeah. I say this guy overreacted.

Father, that flower meant as
much to Arbutus as I mean to you.

This must stop!

Genie!

You have to make
Aladdin put down his sword!

Sure, and you’ll wind up
with boyfriend on a stick!

Ew!

Arbutus won't hurt
us if wedon't hurt him!

Genie, please!

Giving up, boy!?

Never!
- Stop!

Huh?

Genie, what are you doing?

Al, Jasmine says...

Your sword may sever every limb,

but my power will always bloom!

No it won't!

Ughhhh!

Yes!

'My power will always bloom.'

This was the heart of his power;

this frail little flower.

Jasmine, we did it!

Jasmine? What?

Oh, Aladdin. I know you
meant to do the right thing,

but Arbutus was not a monster.

He was just different.

Yeah! He was a beast!

Iago!

Jasmine, I don't understand.

He loved his garden the
way you and Father love me.

Sometimes we only see how
people are different from us.

But if you look hard enough,

you can see how
much we’re all alike.

(Arbutus taking a breath)
