Elements are changed here and there to fit the narrative of the written word compared to the spoken, but it generally follows scene for scene from the movie. The scenes from the movie play out on the page with added inner thoughts into Aladdin’s mind. The story moves on to present day Aladdin and Abu who are stealing from the marketplace and being chased by the guards. This tales gives a little more backstory with Aladdin and his mother, though, and shows their relationship with each other before Aladdin was left alone. The story starts off in a similar way to the Disney movie, Aladdin, where we are introduced to Aladdin. Jafar still betrays Aladdin and leaves him in the cave, but instead of Abu stealing back the lamp, Jafar walks away with it. A Whole New World takes the beginning of the Disney movie up until the Cave of Wonders and then flips the script to create a new tale. I know not everyone thought this, but it just happened to be the negative reviews I came across. I am not sure if people misunderstood the synopsis or what the initial disconnect was as a lot of reviewers expected this to be a complete retelling. I was skeptical to try this novel as there are tons of negative reviews for it, but I decided to give it a try since I absolutely love Disney.
