* AndIMustScream: After being defeated by Aladdin, the Wazzir is transformed into a fish by the Genie.

* UngratefulTownsfolk: Although Popeye was nothing but benevolent and generous towards ordinary people after becoming a prince, they turn on him immediately and try to have him summarily executed after the Princess is abducted by Genie along with her palace (on Wazzir's order) and Popeye is suspected of having something to do with it. This is in stark contrast with the original story, where Aladdin's execution was postponed precisely because his previous generosity and kindness prompted the citizens to stand in his defence and start a riot.

[[FramingDevice Olive Oyl finds herself tasked with writing a script]] for a new Hollywood blockbuster, and decides she wants to write an epic love story, casting herself as a beautiful princess, and Popeye as the male lead. In ancient Arabia, an evil wizard lusts for power as well as the hand of the ruler of the kingdom, Princess Olive. To this end, he seeks the fabled Genie of the Lamp, hidden in the Cave of Treasures which can only be reached by a single person -- the smith Aladdin. Enlisting his help by telling him it's a request from the princess herself, he leads Aladdin to a cave outside of the city, then feigns exhaustion to get Aladdin to risk his life alone. Aladdin finds the lamp hidden behind a wall, and takes it to the wizard, who promptly betrays him and seals him in the cave, but [[LaserGuidedKarma ends up losing the lamp which falls into the cave with Aladdin]]. When Aladdin awakes, he's trapped in the cave, but accidentally stumbles across the power of the lamp, releasing the Genie. Aladdin uses his first wish to get out of the cave, and the second to become a wealthy prince so he can romance the princess. The two immediately hit it off, but the wizard gets his hands on the lamp, and uses his wishes to move the princess castle to a mountain, and hold her prisoner. Aladdin chases after them, fighting his way through the guards and dragon the wizard summons with the lamp, then goes toe to toe with the villain himself, before finally breaking out the spinach and curbstomps him. After having the Genie put the castle back in its old spot, the story ends, and Olive Oyl discovers that her script was rejected by the studio.
