## Plot

### Keys to the Kingdom

The new Aurora story is the first one after the original *Sleeping Beauty* and takes place after the events of the first film.

King Stefan, Queen Leah, King Hubert, and Prince Phillip have left their kingdom for two days to attend a Royal Conference, leaving Aurora alone with the control over the castle with their absence. The three good fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather offer to help her, but Aurora refuses saying she can do it with the help of perseverance. Merryweather, unsure of what to do, then gives Aurora her wand in case she needs any assistance, and warns her that she needs to be very specific in wording when handling the wand. Aurora also gives them the speech of King Hubert, who forgot it, and they go off to the Royal Conference. With the help of the castle's majordomo, Lord Duke, her tasks include throwing a return banquet, dealing with her people, and organizing servants who will look after the Kitchens and Gardens.

Aurora, at first, believes she could do her job without the wand, but later later at night before bed, Aurora can't help but play with it, and uses magic to make herself a big yellow ballgown. Eventually, after a long day dealing with complaints, Aurora gives in and uses the wand to help a local farmer in need of new chickens and pigs, but her magical inexperience leads to unusual consequences, including massive chickens, green pigs, and transforming the farmer into a duck. When Stefan, Leah, Hubert, and Phillip are coming back from a royal conference, Duke warned them about what he saw; giant chickens, green pigs, and cows. After realizing using the wand was a mistake, Aurora promptly comes up with ideas to solve the problems on her own, just before her parents, Phillip, Hubert, and Duke arrived, only to see that they were no giant chickens, green pigs, and cows. They attend the royal banquet, hosted by Aurora. However, just as they were about to start, a giant chicken leg falls on the table and everyone looks at Aurora in shock as she starts to nervously explain what happened earlier.

### More Than a Peacock Princess

The new Princess Jasmine story takes place sometime after *Aladdin and the King of Thieves* and *Hercules and the Arabian Night*, where Iago and Cassim have returned to Agrabah.

Jasmine is tired and bored of her usual princess duties; these include shop openings and helping to sell a camel in the local market place. During having her portrait painted as a "Peacock Princess", Jasmine loses patience and says she wants more responsibility. The Sultan gives her the job of "Royal Assistant Educator" at the Royal Academy. Jasmine is thrilled. However, this is soon changed once she meets her pupils. They run amok, draw on the walls, pillow fight, and throw books. She calls Rajah to try and scare the children into behaving, but they ignore him and chase Jasmine and Rajah into the mud and up a tree. Jasmine gives up. Her lady-in-waiting tells her later that night that all she needs is patience and perseverance, and she could do anything she wants. The next day. Hakeem, the stable boy, seeks Jasmine's help. The Sultan's prized horse, Sahara, is missing from the Stables. Jasmine takes it upon herself, with Carpet, Abu, and Iago's help, to find Sahara and return him to the Palace.

## Trivia

* It is obvious that *Keys to the Kingdom* is set after the events of *Sleeping Beauty*. For *More Than A Peacock Princess*, Jasmine mentions that she can name all Forty Thieves, implying that it takes place after *Aladdin and the King of Thieves* and *Hercules and the Arabian Night*, when Iago has returned after traveling with Cassim.
* As of currently, the film hasn't gotten a release on Disney+ yet, hence marking the only Disney Princess film to date to remain unavailable on Disney+.
* For the first time since the original *Aladdin*, the Magic Carpet's fully-detailed patterned design has been restored in the segment *More Than A Peacock Princess*, as opposed to the simpler patterns used in the character's prior 2D-animated appearances in *The Return of Jafar*, *Aladdin and the King of Thieves*, the *Aladdin* TV series and in various other traditionally-animated TV spin-offs such as the *Hercules* episode "Hercules and the Arabian Night" and in *House of Mouse*, likely due to being animated in CGI instead of traditional 2D animation, as well as the higher production budgets used in this film. Carpet would also be animated in full detail again this way in the *Sofia the First* episode "Two to Tangu" via CGI animation.
* Being the last speaking appearance of Iago in an animated production to date, this film also marks the final time Gilbert Gottfried voices the character, 15 years before his death in 2022.
