Hello Aladdin fans, im looking for a decent synopsis for this move (i know its a Disney movie) but I want to ensure that there is no hints of racism my children might pickup. Can anyone tell me if this Aladdin DVD site is accurate?
Thanks!  |

Yes, their plot summary is accurate but poorly written.
Ex. They called Abu "Apu" once, they misspell "Aladdin" a handful of times, they called Jafar the Sultan once, "Lago" should actually be "Iago", and they say

...which is redundant lol. It should be more like "Tell Jasmine the truth and risk losing her or use his third wish (which he promised would be to set the Genie free) to seal his princelihood."
It also doesn't mention that Genie leaves to see the world in the end - not that that really matters, but they certainly had a lot of other details in there that it's funny they left that out.
But, I don't believe the movie is racist at all. I myself am half Middle-Eastern. My dad's family are all from the Middle East, most of them actually speaking Arabic, and it was his parents that actually bought me this movie when I was 2 or 3 years old and watched it with me nearly every time I visited.
