Jasmine is a fictional character from the Walt Disney Pictures animated feature film Aladdin (1992) ). She is the spirited daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah, a fictional city-state in the movie. Although the architecture in Agrabah is inspired by Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures, the exact country of origin for Jasmine has been frequently disputed. Some claim that Jasmine is Arab because the movie opens with a song called Arabian Nights, while others believe that she is Indian or Chinese. However, it is important to note that Jasmine is a fictional character and her country of origin is not explicitly stated in the movie.
