Technically never got arrested for it though did he?
he did get arrested but on a false charge of kidnapping the princess, so I guess technically no.
He’s always… ONE JUMP AHEAD OF THE BREADLINES, ONE SWING AHEAD OF THE SWORD…
HE STEALS ONLY WHAT HE CAN’T AFFORD… THAT’S EVERYTHING!
RIFFRAFF! STREET RAT! SCOUNDREL! TAKE THAT!
Just a little snack, guys!
There’s a whole song about why.
There’s a whole song about property law, which maybe we shouldn’t have.
I remember him being chained up in the dungeon… But I can’t remember if that was the first movie, one of the other movies, the TV show or even the video game. 🤔
At the beginning of the movie, it is established that only “A diamond in the rough” can enter the Cave of Wonders to claim Genie’s lamp. Jafar does some magic spell to learn the identity of the “diamond in the rough” and it turns out it’s the poor street kid Aladdin, who has repeated run-ins with the guards over stealing food. Jafar sends the guards out to capture and bring Aladdin to Jafar so he can be sent into the Cave of Wonders.
Meanwhile, after rejecting the latest of many pompous asshole princes, Princess Jasmine decides to run away from the palace equipped with a cloak over her usual outfit and basically nothing else, to include an understanding of money. She steals an apple to give to a couple of poor children, and the apple vendor is swinging the sword down to cut off her hand when Aladdin stops him, convinces him that she’s insane, and then brings her to his home. The guards catch up to them and finally capture him. “Unhand him, by order of the princess!” The guards are surprised to find her here. “What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat?” Later, when asked what charge Aladdin was arrested on, Jafar replies “Kidnapping the princess, of course.”
So while Aladdin is in the habit of tangling with Agrabah’s law enforcement, he is never arrested on the charge of assaulting an officer. Or vagrancy or petty theft. He’s arrested because Jafar wanted him arrested, and the kidnapping charge (for which he is, at this point at least, completely innocent) is trumped up after the fact.
It’s the first movie, but for kidnapping the princess. Also the second movie, but can’t remember why. Probably cause Jafar a bitch

He’s just a petty thief tho
If you think you saw someone stealing food no you fucking didn’t
Stealing food when you’re hungry (especially if you share it with other hungry people) is morally right though. Fucking with the cops about it is pretty punk
A street rat? I don’t buy that. If only you’d look closer.
To be fair, it’s only because no arrows or swords in the story are allowed to actually cause harm.
Pretty sure it’s happened a bunch in Star Wars, which unfortunately counts as Disney now.
Plenty of destruction of state property and even several assassinations with cover up by said state (Luke’s uncle and aunt, the jawas’ sandcrawler)
Only counts if it was originally produced by them.
Andor was produced by them and is a really good example
Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and Star Wars: Rebels started in 2014, so all the arrests of those characters count.
Yes, those ones do.
Would’ve been so much better if the sheriff was a pig rather than a wolf 😆
Idk I think its deeper the way it is. The lion and his wolf henchmen have the facade of nobility and honour, while the fox theif is the truly honourable one.
Every town…has it’s ups and downs
Sometimes ups outnumber the downs. But not in the US.
Such a good song
The clergy don’t deserve a pass. Throw bricks at them.
Look into Liberation Theology. South American Catholic priests were some of the best anti fascists there have ever been - and many laid down their lives opposing Pinochet. There are lessons to be learned from them in community organizing.
