Appearance[]
He is a prince who wears gaudy clothing consisting of a purple sleeved shirt underneath red vest with puffed up shoulder blades and a red sash and dark red pants. He wears a turban with a green jewel in the middle.
Personality[]
Prince Wazoo is extremely snooty and condescending towards anybody of a lower social status, though he can also be very charming and polite. He values appearance, wealth and social status. He believes he can win people over with his material wealth and rare, expensive arts. Ultimately he judges people based on shallow reasons rather than looking to their personality and talents, and assumes they do too.
It is worth acknowledging that it is not purely wealth that Prince Wazoo is impressed by, as he snuffs a merchant saying that gold and jewels were "too common" to be a gift for the rare and beautiful Princess. He appreciates fine, expensive artworks, but mostly for their material beauty and monetary value rather than anything deeper.
Prince Wazoo is not a bad person, and does not seek purely power as he is already a powerful Prince himself. Instead he woos Jasmine for her matching social status and physical beauty, not understanding why she would be interested in a poor Street Rat like Aladdin.
Plot[]
In "Do The Rat Thing", Prince Wazoo first arrives in Agrabah trying to get Jasmine to marry him, but the princess refuses to do so, already engaged to Aladdin. Wazoo says the street rat does not deserve her and while feeling her hair notices a rat. He continues to criticize Aladdin and the others throughout the day, even as they head to the market to buy Jasmine a gift, with Wazoo claiming everything was too common and annoying everyone with his snotty attitude. He and the others wait for Jasmine before starting the banquet but she and Iago arrive as a rat and a lizard. Wazoo tries to kill her but she outmanoeuvres him, causing him to fall into a pond. Genie manages to recognize her and Iago and transform them back to normal, leaving Wazoo disappointed his princess was a rat and he gives up on her.
Trivia[]
- 'Wazoo' is a slang term for a toilet, or similarly a river of... human excrement. It references the saying "Up the wazoo" (which basically means 'to be in trouble'.)
- Prince Wazoo's design is not all that different from Aladdin dressed as 'Prince Ali', the main difference being Wazoo's large nose. Perhaps this is a reference to how in the original movie Aladdin originally thought Jasmine would ultimately reject him for being a Street Rat and first wished to be rich and powerful.
