Development
Supervising animator Mark Henn worked on early development of the character from the animation studio at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida—in full view of theme-park guests. Henn says he saw a young park visitor with a long, flowing black mane, and was inspired by her look for Princess Jasmine.[3] Her facial features were based on Henn's sister Beth.[4]Linda Larkin went to accompany a friend who was auditioning for Jasmine, and decided to also test for the role after reading the script, being very inspired by the line "It's all so magical".[5] She was chosen for the role nine months later, and had to adjust her pitch to fit what the filmmakers wanted for Jasmine - her voice was considered "too high"[6] and sounding too young despite Larkin being five years older than Aladdin voice actor Scott Weinger.[7]

Aladdin
Main article: Aladdin (1992 film)
Jasmine first appears in Aladdin
(1992), as the only daughter of the wealthy Sultan of Agrabah. Unhappy
with having choices made for her, runs away from home. Escaping into
town, she encounters Aladdin who helps her when a she is almost punished
for stealing. Aladdin is arrested by guards led by Razoul. Jasmine
reveals herself to them and demands that they let Aladdin go, but Razoul
apologizes and explains that he is doing so on Jafar's orders. Jasmine
confronts Jafar and demands that they release Aladdin, but Jafar tells
her that Aladdin has already been executed; Jasmine is left distraught
and blames herself. After Aladdin's wish to become a prince is granted
to him by The Genie, he visits Jasmine in the guise of "Prince
Ali-Ababwa". She initially believes him to be just another arrogant
suitor, but later accepts his proposal after falling in love with him on
a magic carpet
ride. During this time, Jasmine sees through Aladdin's disguise, but
Aladdin convinces her that he sometimes dressed up as a commoner to
"escape the pressures of palace life", which she relates to. She is
taken back to the palace and the two share a kiss.However, upon announcing her decision to marry Aladdin, Jafar takes over Agrabah by stealing the lamp from Aladdin. At the same time, Aladdin attempts to tell the truth of his true identity, but before he can do so, Jafar already exposed his true identity to Jasmine. After Jafar banishes Aladdin to the ends of the Earth, he then makes Jasmine his personal slavegirl. Jasmine was then forced into the revealing costume of a harem concubine and leashed to Jafar's throne to serve him. While Aladdin is banished to the frozen tundra, Jasmine must endure Jafar's lecherous advances and humiliations. When Aladdin finally returns, looking to rescue Jasmine and save the kingdom, she helps him distract Jafar by seducing him and pretending to fall madly in love with him. After Jafar discovers she lied, Jasmine tries to steal the lamp in order to restore her father's kingdom. She is then trapped in an hourglass, and nearly dies from lack of air. In the end, she is saved by Aladdin and returns to be Princess of Agrabah, with her father, the Sultan.[2]
The Return of Jafar
Main article: The Return of Jafar
In the first direct-to-video sequel, The Return of Jafar
(1994), Jasmine later begins to question her choice in Aladdin,
wondering if he was trustworthy enough after he defends Iago, Jafar's
former pet parrot who had terrorized her father, but she quickly gets
over these questions with Iago's help (who convinces her she cares about
Aladdin by calling her bluff). She later accepts Iago as a friend after
he helps her mend things with Aladdin, frees the Genie to save Aladdin,
and defeats Jafar, risking his life for Jasmine.Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Main article: Aladdin and the King of Thieves
Finally, in the second direct-to-video/DVD movie, Aladdin and the King of Thieves
(1996) she and Aladdin are finally about to wed, when their wedding is
interrupted by the Forty Thieves. After learning what they were after,
Aladdin finds out from the Oracle his father Cassim is still alive. Jasmine convinces him to seek out his father, and that their wedding can be delayed a little bit longer.While he is away, Jasmine grows worried, and Genie cheers her up by dressing her in bridal outfits. When Aladdin returns with Cassim, she and the Sultan take an immediate liking to him. However, he later tries to steal the Oracle, and is put in prison; Aladdin helps him escape, but comes back to face his punishment. Jasmine and the Genie convince the Sultan that he helped his father out of love. At that moment, Iago (who was with Cassim) returns, telling them that Cassim has been captured by Sa'luk and the remaining Thieves.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times criticized the character as a lead, calling her and love interest Aladdin "pale and routine," and one of Aladdin's weaknesses as a film.[15] Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine gave the character a negative review, calling her another "free-spirited" type in the Barbie-doll tradition, a faux feminist who wants everyone to know that she can do everything the boys can".[16]
