Disney 's Aladdin franchise features an extensive cast of fictional characters . The lead character of the series is Aladdin , who was originally a street urchin . During the course of the franchise , he starts living in the palace of Agrabah and becomes engaged to Princess Jasmine .
Monkey is a common name that may refer to groups or species of mammals , in part , the simians of infraorder Simiiformes . The term is applied descriptively to groups of primates , such as families of New World monkeys and Old World monkeys . Many monkey species are tree-dwelling ( arboreal ) , although there are species that live primarily on the ground , such as baboons . Most species are also active during the day ( diurnal ) . Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent , especially the Old World monkeys of Catarrhini . Simians and tarsiers emerged within haplorrhines some 60 million years ago . New World monkeys and catarrhine monkeys emerged within the simians some 35 million years ago . Old World monkeys and Hominoidea emerged within the catarrhine monkeys some 25 million years ago . Extinct basal simians such as Aegyptopithecus or Parapithecus [ 35-32 million years ago ] , eosimiidea and sometimes even the Catarrhini group are also considered monkeys by primatologists . Lemurs , lorises , and galagos are not monkeys ; instead they are strepsirrhine primates . Like monkeys , tarsiers are haplorhine primates ; however , they are also not monkeys . Apes emerged within monkeys as sister of the Cercopithecidae in the Catarrhini , so cladistically they are monkeys as well .
Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures . The film is the 31st Disney animated feature film , and was the fourth produced during the Disney film era known as the Disney Renaissance . It was produced and directed by Ron Clements and John Musker , and is based on the Arabic folktale of the same name from the One Thousand and One Nights . The voice cast features Scott Weinger , Robin Williams , Linda Larkin , Jonathan Freeman , Frank Welker , Gilbert Gottfried and Douglas Seale . The film follows Aladdin , an Arabian street urchin , who finds a magic lamp containing a genie . In order to hide the lamp from the Grand vizier , he disguises himself as a wealthy prince , and tries to impress the Sultan and his daughter . Lyricist Howard Ashman first pitched the idea , and the screenplay went through three drafts before then-Disney Studios president Jeffrey Katzenberg agreed to its production . The animators based their designs on the work of caricaturist Al Hirschfeld , and computers were used for both finishing the artwork and creating some animated elements . The musical score was written by Alan Menken and features six songs with lyrics written by both Ashman and Tim Rice , who took over after Ashman 's death . Aladdin was released on November 25 , 1992 , to critical and commercial success , becoming the highest-grossing film of 1992 with an earn of over $ 504 million in worldwide box office revenue . Upon release , it became the first animated feature to reach the half-billion dollar mark , and was the highest-grossing animated film of all time until it was surpassed by The Lion King . Aladdin garnered two Academy Awards , as well as other accolades for its soundtrack which had the first and only number from a Disney feature to earn a Grammy Award for Song of the Year for the film 's theme song .
The macaques ( /məˈkɑːk/ or /məˈkæk/ ) constitute a genus ( Macaca ) of gregarious Old World monkeys of the subfamily Cercopithecinae . The 23 species of macaques inhabit ranges throughout Asia , North Africa , and ( in one instance ) Gibraltar . Macaques are principally frugivorous , although their diet also includes seeds , leaves , flowers , and tree bark . Some species , such as the crab-eating macaque , subsist on a diet of invertebrates and occasionally small vertebrates . On average , southern pig-tailed macaques in Malaysia eat about 70 large rats each per year . All macaque social groups are matriarchal , arranged around dominant females . Macaques are found in a variety of habitats throughout the Asian continent and are highly adaptable . Certain species have learned to live with humans and have become invasive in some human-settled environments , such as the island of Mauritius and Silver Springs State Park in Florida . Macaques can be a threat to wildlife conservation as well as to human well-being via carrying transmittable and fatal diseases . Currently , invasive species of macaques are handled with several control methods .

All baboons have long , dog-like muzzles , heavy , powerful jaws with sharp canine teeth , close-set eyes , thick fur except on their muzzles , short tails , and nerveless , hairless pads of skin on their protruding buttocks called ischial callosities that provide for sitting comfort . Male hamadryas baboons have large white manes . Baboons exhibit sexual dimorphism in size , colour and/or canine teeth development . Baboons have diurnality and are terrestrial , but sleep in trees , or on high cliffs or rocks at night , away from predators . They are found in open savannahs and woodlands across Africa .

Isolated populations are also present in some mountainous regions of the Sahara . It inhabits savannahs , steppes , and forests .

Spider monkeys are New World monkeys belonging to the genus Ateles , part of the subfamily Atelinae , family Atelidae . Like other atelines , they are found in tropical forests of Central and South America , from southern Mexico to Brazil . The genus contains seven species , all of which are under threat ; the black-headed spider monkey and brown spider monkey are critically endangered . They are also notable for their ability to be easily bred in captivity . Disproportionately long limbs and long prehensile tails make them one of the largest New World monkeys and give rise to their common name . Spider monkeys live in the upper layers of the rainforest , and forage in the high canopy , from 25 to 30 m ( 82 to 98 ft ) . They primarily eat fruits , but will also occasionally consume leaves , flowers , and insects . Due to their large size , spider monkeys require large tracts of moist evergreen forests , and prefer undisturbed primary rainforest . They are social animals and live in bands of up to 35 individuals but will split up to forage during the day . Recent meta-analyses on primate cognition studies indicated spider monkeys are the most intelligent New World monkeys . They can produce a wide range of sounds and will bark when threatened ; other vocalisations include a whinny similar to a horse and prolonged screams . They are an important food source due to their large size , so are widely hunted by local human populations ; they are also threatened by habitat destruction due to logging and land clearing .

Singapore ( /ˈsɪŋ ( ɡ ) əpɔːr/ ( listen ) ) , officially the Republic of Singapore , is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia . Singapore is located about one degree ( 137 kilometres or 85 miles ) north of the equator , and is situated off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula , and by extension , the southernmost extremity of continental Asia . The island country shares its southern maritime border with Indonesia 's Riau Islands , its northern , western , and eastern maritime borders with the Johor state of Peninsular Malaysia , and is in the vicinity of Sumatra to its west and Borneo to its east . It is enveloped by the littoral waters of the Johore Strait to its north and the Singapore Strait to its south , and is geographically positioned within the confluence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans , being bounded by the Malacca Strait to its west and the South China Sea to its east . The country 's territory is composed of one main island and 58 smaller islets , the combined area of which has increased by almost 25% since the country 's independence as a result of extensive land reclamation projects . Although Singapore has been a constituent part of several Hindu-Buddhist thalassocratic empires and Islamic sultanates throughout its millennia-long history , modern Singapore , then part of the erstwhile Johor Sultanate , was founded in 1819 when Stamford Raffles , a British colonial officer , established a trading post of the East India Company on the island . In 1824 , the island and its satellite islets were fully ceded by the Johor Sultanate , and in 1826 , Singapore was incorporated into the Straits Settlements , a group of East India Company territories in the Malay peninsula . From 1830 to 1858 , the Straits Settlements were administered as a Malayan subdivision of the East India Company 's Bengal Presidency ; following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , the Presidency and its constituent Settlements were reorganised into the British Raj . In 1867 , Britain 's colonial holdings in the Malay archipelago were separated from British India , and the administration of the Straits Settlements was transferred from Calcutta to London , bringing the Straits Settlements under the direct control of the British Crown as a crown colony . From 1867 to the 1940s , Singapore grew into a successful entrepôt that attracted settlers and sojourners from the region and beyond . During the Second World War , Imperial Japan successfully invaded Singapore , resulting in an interregnum of British rule corresponding with a brief Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945 . Following Japan 's surrender in 1945 , the Straits Settlements were dissolved , with Singapore being returned to British control as a standalone crown colony in 1946 .
