[quote="Fez_Head"]Oh my goodness, I cannot believe that I can actually say that I have met OG Princess Jasmine AND Jafar IN PERSON! :shock: I met them this past Friday at Steel City Comic Con and it was such a surreal experience. I had actual conversations with them where they complimented my Disney villain shirt and Princess sneakers (Linda said Scott would have loved my beige pants and the purple scrunchie in my hair to represent Aladdin), took photos with them, and got personalized autographs from them. I even got to speak in French with Jonathan, which was so wild! So many things happened and I don’t think I’ve truly processed it all :lol:[/quote]

As someone who has been learning French since she was 9 years old, I do find it interesting that they both studied the same language. Definitely going to use that whenever the kiddos ask why they have to learn French at school. <br /> <br />"But Madame, why do we need to learn French? " <br />"Look child, Aladdin and Jafar speak French, so we must speak French!" <img src="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Linda said her and her husband train the puppies by exposing them to different social settings, like taking them on the train, playing music for them, and even bringing them to recording sessions. She joked during the panel that during one recording session, she was recording her lines while the "diamond in the rough" was playing with the puppy. <br /> <br />And yeah, this lady would be an amazing addition to the Aladdin Central community. I wish I could upload the quick photo my friend took of the jacket, but it was this image for reference <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/love-disney-jasmine-v42gdWNg4njNe" target="_blank" class="postlink">https://giphy.com/gifs/love-disney-jasmine-v42gdWNg4njNe</a> I love that moment in the movie and it looked professionally done.

I didn't mean to make it seem like you were at all, I am sorry. <br /> <br />I had no idea he could speak French either, but it was super cool. I know Scott can because I found out after I graduated university that Scott and I almost did the same degrees (English literature and French studies), but Jonathan was new to me. He was also super sweet when I mentioned the autograph was a long time coming since I wasn't able to meet him after the musical 7 years ago. He was so apologetic and hoped that our meeting now made up for it. <br /> <br />And they were both so lovely, for sure. During the panel, they had to be aware of not talking about their time working on Aladdin due to the current strikes, so a lot of questions were about acting in general and their personal lives. Jonathan used to do puppeteering as a kid and they both are passionate about different causes. Linda said that she volunteers to help socialize guide dog puppies and she brought one to a recording session with her, whereas Jonathan is really interested in learning more about Autism Spectrum Disorder after working with the family on the documentary "Life, Animated." I really want to watch that documentary at some point because it sounds really interesting. <br /> <br />Oh, and I met this one lady who designed her own Aladdin jean jacket, which Linda adored. It was such a cool jacket and she said that she is going to make one for me because I am an Aladdin fan like her.

To be honest, I have no idea how I stayed relatively calm with them. They were both so kind. Linda noticed that a group of us were just about to meet her when she had to leave for the Aladdin panel, so she told us that we could go right to the front after her photo op sessions to avoid waiting in line again. During my autograph time with her, she wanted to see our photo op picture to make sure it looked ok in case I wanted another one, loved looking through my Aladdin postcard book and even picked one for Scott to sign if I ever meet him. She was also the one to suggest personalizing the autograph and said the way I spell my name (Meghan) is really pretty. <br /> <br />Jonathan was also so amazing to talk to. We talked about the Broadway show, how he tries to stay in contact with Gilbert's family as much as he can, how he appreciated I loved Jafar's laugh, and how Scott had to miss the con because his mother in law passed away. I mentioned I had listened to some Aladdin songs in French because I am a French teacher and he suddenly started speaking in French. It was honestly the coolest thing and after I responded in French, he said I had an adorable Canadian accent <img src="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /> <br /> <br />Honestly, they were so easy to talk to, it felt like talking to a longtime friend. I tried to upload some photos to my Facebook profile (other social media of mine is quite private, due to my job), so hopefully it will upload here. If not, I can try to find another way to do so, so I welcome any suggestions. <br /> <br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/meghan.vertentes/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/meghan.vertentes/</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>AladdinsGenie</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2023 5:38 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Man, how did you not break down in hysterics?
