Well, after Jafar's failed attempt to send Gazeem into the cave, he'd know where to start digging, the same spot where the tiger head entrance emerged.

With those options it was a lot more prudent to at least try digging, even if they didn't know for sure if it would work. Iago digging their way out of the cave, though, was an act born of desperation: It was either try to dig their way out, or stay there for ten thousand years.

With how large the desert is, and with how Jafar couldn't know how the cave was laid out OR how deep it was, he couldn't know exactly where he needed to dig or how long he would have to dig. Also, it would be a lot easier to find your way to the surface - all you have to do is make sure you go up.After all, the entire 'diamond in the rough' thing was aimed at people who wanted to enter the cave, not people who wanted to exit it. Well, it's not unreasonable to assume that it'd be easier to break out of the Cave of Wonders than it is to get in.just dig his way in? At least I can buy the Genie taking Aladdin out because he's a powerful magical being that can grant almost any wish, what excuse does a parrot have? By just comically digging his way out? Regardless of it being played for laughs, it kind of makes Jafar in the original film look silly in retrospect, so he didn't need to go through the whole 'diamond in the rough' ordeal to enter the Cave because according to this scene he could. the way Iago escapes from the Cave of Wonders with Jafar's lamp. 'I wish that I could fly and be invisible when I wanted to be' After that I went outside and tried to fly and be invisible - and I did! I went back to my room and I was asked my last wish. It was breakfast time and I had toast with peanut butter. The genie got me an ipod touch and I had one more wish. I rubbed it and I wished for an ipod touch. Today I got out of bed and got my magic lamp. Then I said I would save it until tomorrow. The genie gave me an eyeball instead! Then I said 'I asked for an ipod, not an eyeball!' Then he said 'If you want an ipod or an ipod touch, you need to just wish for them'. In the morning I rubbed the lamp and I wished I could have an ipod like my sister. I said I would save the wishes until tomorrow. The genie said to me 'You have three wishes'. It was delicious! Afterwards, I rubbed the lamp and a genie came out. So I went to the dinner table and we had soup.

My sister, Mia, came in and I told her that I found a magic lamp in our garden and that it was a secret. One day I found a magic lamp and I took it into my room.
