"Aladdin" is one of those Disney films you'll definitely see at some point in your life.

Differentiation between two lovers calls artists and storytellers internationally to express creativity in order to create something revolving around this topic. It's even happening in kids movies as Disney takes this story every American has heard of called "Aladdin." Aladdin is a young man in a Middle-Eastern or Moroccan environment who lives in poverty with his monkey Abu. The two steal in order to survive. Princess Jasmine gets tired of being forced to remain in the palace that overlooks the city, causing her to sneak out to the marketplace where she meets Aladdin and forms a friendship that may even be love. Under the orders of the evil Jafar, Aladdin is thrown in jail and becomes caught up in Jafar's plot to rule the land with the aid of a mysterious lamp. Legend has it that only a person who is a "diamond in the rough" can retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin might fit that description, but that's not enough to marry the princess, who must by law marry a prince. The plot is pretty sophisticated for a kids film. Children need to understand that this film is about how no matter how much wealth, power or ability you have or don't have, you can still achieve many great things. It also shows how anybody can fall in love no matter how different the two are. What's kind of interesting about "Aladdin is how controversial it is due to being "offensive" to Arab nations due to the dialogue in various songs and the production design of the film. In 1992 The United Sates was just getting off the Persian Gulf War, causing fear of the entire Middle East due to stereotypes and poor judgment. "Aladdin" made controversy for portraying the Arab world as dark and cruel but it also showed the beauty of the Arab world and taught us how there is nothing to fear. With all the fine storytelling, were stuck with obnoxious singing and voice overs that never end. Every song is irritating and don't want to end. The plot is also pretty continuous and a bit long for Disney. It feels a lot longer than it is. On top of everything, there are just to many better animated films out there that are handled and directed better than "Aladdin' and serve a better function.
