musker and clements wrote a draft of the screenplay, and then delivered a story reel to studio chief jeffrey katzenberg in april 1991. katzenberg thought the script "didn't engage", and on a day known by the staff as "black friday," demanded that the entire story be rewritten without rescheduling the film's november 25, 1992 release date. among the changes katzenberg requested from clements and musker were to not be dependent on ashman's vision, and the removal of aladdin's mother, remarking, "eighty-six the mother. the mom's a zero." screenwriting duo ted elliott and terry rossio were brought in to rework the story, and the changes they made included the removal of aladdin's mother, the strengthening of the character of princess jasmine, and the deletion of several of the ashman-menken songs. aladdin's personality was rewritten to be "a little rougher, like a young harrison ford," and the parrot iago, originally conceived as an uptight british archetype, was reworked into a comic role after the filmmakers saw gilbert gottfried in "beverly hills cop ii", who was then cast for the role. by october 1991, katzenberg was satisfied with the new version of "aladdin". as with woolverton's screenplay, several characters and plot elements were based on the 1940 version of "the thief of bagdad", though the location of the film was changed from baghdad to the fictional arabian city of agrabah.

following the success of "aladdin", jasmine appears in the film's two direct-to-video sequels, in both of which larkin reprises her role as the character, with liz callaway replacing salonga as her singing voice. the first, "the return of jafar" (1994), features jasmine as she begins to question her trust in aladdin after he defends jafar's former pet parrot, iago, who escapes jafar's lamp and rescues aladdin from bandits, hoping to make amends with the royal family. however, iago manages to convince the princess that she still very much trusts aladdin. jasmine eventually befriends iago after he helps mend her and aladdin's relationship, frees the genie, and ultimately risks his life to destroy jafar once and for all, who has returned seeking vengeance. in the second, "aladdin and the king of thieves" (1996), jasmine's long-awaited wedding to aladdin is interrupted by the forty thieves. the oracle, which the thieves are attempting to steal, reveals that aladdin's father cassim is still alive and is their leader. encouraging aladdin to pursue his father, jasmine agrees to postpone the wedding but can't help but worry for him during his absence. when aladdin finally returns to agrabah with cassim and introduces him, jasmine and the sultan take an immediate liking to him. however, cassim is soon imprisoned by the sultan after he attempts to steal the oracle again. aladdin frees cassim and accepts punishment for his actions until jasmine convinces her father that he was only helping is father out of love. iago returns to inform them that cassim has been captured by sa'luk and the remaining thieves. jasmine goes with aladdin to rescue his father, and afterward they return for their wedding, which cassim attends from the shadows. they go for a ride on carpet, waving good-bye to the merchant from the first film and iago and cassim as they ride off. jasmine appears in the animated television series based on the film, which originally aired from 1994 to 1995.
