VeggieTales: Aladdin (A Lesson in Honesty and True Worth)
Larry the Cucumber as Aladdin
Petunia Rhubarb as Princess Jasmine
Mr. Nezzer as Jafar â smooth-talking, grand, and dramatically evil
Mr. Lunt as Iago â loud, sarcastic, snack-obsessed parrot
Archibald Asparagus as The Sultan
Pa Grape as The Magic Carpet
Enter Mr. Nezzerâs Jafar (with Mr. Luntâs Iago)
Mr. Nezzer leans FULL into the roleâdeep voice, slow delivery, lots of finger-pointing:
âSoon⊠I shall control ALL the vegetables in the landâŠâ
Right beside him, Mr. Lunt flaps around as Iago:
âYeah! ALL the vegetables! âŠDo we get snacks when we rule?â
Nezzer (annoyed):
âSilence, you feathered nuisance!â
Lunt:
âIâm not even a bird!â
While Larry and Junior are trying to get by, Iago (Lunt) spies them.
Lunt whispers loudly:
âHey boss! That cucumber looks poor and desperateâperfect for evil plans!â
Nezzer:
âExcellent observation⊠for once.â
The cave opens dramatically.
Nezzer:
âOnly the worthy may enterâŠâ
Lunt:
âOoooh, I love caves! Do they have cheese?â
Inside, Junior (Abu) tries grabbing everything.
Lunt (yelling from outside):
âDONâT TOUCH ANYTHING! I saw this in a movie onceâit NEVER ends well!â
When Larry gets the lamp, Nezzer drops the act:
âDid you really think I would share power⊠with a cucumber?â
Lunt:
âYeah! Wait⊠weâre leaving him? But he has the lampâSHOULDNâT WEââ
ââŠWell, that seems like a flaw in the plan.â
Genie Time (Bob Steals the Show)
Bob bursts out with full chaotic energy.
Lunt later sees Genie magic and freaks out:
âWHY DOES HE GET A MAGIC TOMATO?! I WANT A MAGIC TOMATO!â
Prince Larry & Iagoâs Commentary
When Larry returns as a prince, Nezzer tries to impress the Sultan.
Lunt (stage whisper):
âThis guy went from âstreet cucumberâ to âroyal pickleâ REAL fastâŠâ
Nezzer:
âStop narrating everything!â
âA Whole New Worldâ (Veggie Style)
While Larry and Petunia bond, Iago is stuck watching from afar:
Lunt:
âUgh. Romance. Do they at least bring snacks on this magic carpet ride?!â
Nezzer finally gets the lamp.
Cue dramatic transformation:
âBEHOLD⊠YOUR NEW RULER!â
Lightning flashes (obviously fake VeggieTales string lights).
Lunt gets caught in the chaos:
âI DID NOT SIGN UP FOR WEATHER EFFECTS!â
Now that Nezzer is all-powerful:
Lunt:
âHey boss⊠now that youâre all-powerful⊠can I be assistant ruler?â
ââŠAssistant TO the ruler?â
ââŠWeâll discuss it.â
Instead of just outsmarting Jafar, Larry admits the truth:
âI lied because I didnât think I mattered.â
Lunt:
ââŠOkay, that was⊠weirdly heartfelt.â
Nezzer:
âDO NOT BE MOVED BY THE CUCUMBER!â
Larry tricks Nezzer: âIf youâre truly the greatest⊠why not become a genie?â Nezzer, dramatic as ever: âYES! I SHALL BECOMEââ
Heâs sucked into a lamp.
ââŠDo I still get promoted?â
Instead of being trapped, Lunt is left holding the lamp. He shrugs: âWell⊠I guess Iâm in charge now!â (pauses) ââŠFirst rule: MORE SNACKS.â
Larry frees Bob. Petunia chooses Larry for his honesty. Archibald changes the rules about marriage.
Bob:
âBeing honest can be hard.â
Larry:
âBut itâs always the right thing to do.â
Lunt (still holding the lamp):
âOkay boss, I rubbed it three timesâWHEREâS MY MAGIC TOMATO?!â
Nezzer (from inside):
âSTOP RUBBING THE LAMP!â
