Why does Genie-Jafar have nipples when Aladdin and Genie don't?

[Lionel Mandrake]

Subtle nipples (Sorry, couldn't find a higher quality pic; Here's a video link):

What is Disney getting at? Nipples are evil? That can't be, because another film from the Disney Renaissance, The Little Mermaid, features the stern and flawed, but ultimately benevolent King Triton, who has perhaps the most pronounced nipples in the Disney animation canon since Fantasia.

Perhaps, the real suggestion is that nipples equal power, but this would raise the question as to why Genie still has none and yet the meek firewalker does.

What's your take, Era? What do you think they were trying to get at?

so you know who the artists were horny for

More realistic features are usually meant to signify that you're meant to take something more seriously. You're supposed to take Jafar Genie as a serious threat.

I have nipples, Greg

Lactose intolerance

 

[cirr]

clearly the takeaway is that evil guys have nipples, ergo if you have nipples then you're bad

If that's the case, should we feel bad for the firewalker when Aladdin uses him to cross over the coals?

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Why don't any of the Aristocats have buttholes?

 

[The Albatross]

Jasmine does too, according to a non-canon art film I watched.

 

[LycanXIII]

Nipples = bad

 

[Maximum Spider]

If you look close enough, you can see that the carpet his nips.

I don't really recall the character you're taking about, but maybe!

Tumblr tried to warn us; male presenting nipples are evil.

Is this a ploy to get us to google Disney nipples?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Because Jafar is a human turned into a dijin while Genie was born as a dijin.

 

[PennyStonks]

Aladdin had to sell his and Genie isn't real.

 

[Z-Beat]

Genie magically removed his and Aladdin is too poor to afford nipples

 

[skeezx]

there's a condition where people grow nipples elswhere like their shoulder or butt or wherever. that's what genie and aladdin had

it was in the Aladdin novelization

 

[amphteamints]

every time it's weeekend era

I thought this was going to be a "Roger Rabbit" type situation, where a sneaky animated snuck in some (I assumed under clothes) nipples for a frame or two. But instead this was more of a "Princess Elise has nipples" situation, where it turns out to all be fan-made in the end.

I just said it was a video link. I never said it was relevant.

Different characters in the same cartoons usually have different lead animators.

Is it me or does the SNES version of Aladdin have nips.

Nope, but he has a massive bulge

You'd have to show some proof, considering you posted a shot from the inferior Genesis version.

 

[Masterspeed]

It's probably a toy thing. There's probably some dumb old Disney Claus saying "No nipples on our toys!"

You can't judge the logic of how to define evil in a movie by the standards of another movie. In Aladdin nipples are evil. In the little mermaid they (probably) aren't.

 

[julia crawford]

because nipples are evil? I haven't met one evil person who didn't have nipples

 

[Tavernade]

Aladdin and Genie are supposed to sell toys, what child would dare play with a toy that had nipples?

King Triton and Jafar are not there to sell toys (was there even a Triton toy in the 90s? Has there ever been a Genie Jafar toy?).

But Really Really Big Man is clearly designed by committee for merchandising

Too bad the man didn't want us to get a toy of such an icon.

Just to expand on this a little, it would seem that Andreas Deja was the character designer/supervising animator on King Triton, and the supervising animator on Jaffar (not Aladdin, nor the Genie). He also worked on Hercules, and Herc has nipples, so Andreas is presumably just the kind of guy who draws nipples.

 

[lori]

i'm trying so hard but i can not find where the nipples are supposed to be here

And Gaston, but no nipples here.

The mystery plottens.

This is why Will Smith is the superior Genie

Joel schumacher designed him, but not the others.

I had a genie jafar toy so they did exist. Not sure about toy nips though.

 

[Doggg]

Definitely should have used one of his wishes on nipples.

 

[The Adder]

Triton fucks. Triton has nipples. Thus we can assume...

Why are you looking

So what your saying is... male nipples assert dominance.
