Aladdin’ (1992)
Aladdin, the 1992 Disney classic, captivated audiences with its stunning animation, unforgettable music, and the incredible voice talent of Robin Williams. Fast forward to 2019, when Disney decided to give the film a live-action makeover. Why the changes? The original animated version contained numerous ethnic stereotypes concerning the Middle East, along with a problematic portrayal of Princess Jasmine as a damsel in distress. To address these concerns, the live-action remake made a conscious effort to tone down these elements, offering a more nuanced and updated depiction of the beloved characters.
