The story begins with a peaceful scene on the open sea where a mariner, portrayed by Will Smith, is sailing with his wife and two children, Omar and Lian.

He narrates the story of a street rat, a princess, and a magical lamp, weaving a tale that transports the children—and the viewers—into the enchanted kingdom of Agrabah.
