Analysis Of The Movie ' Aladdin '

(The Arabian Nights). While Disney’s Aladdin is similar to the original story, it is missing the traits of a kind, caring mother and the willingness of the princess to wed who her father wanted her to marry. These are fundamental traits and ideas found in Arab culture that are not seen in the Disney

Even in the movies, sociology can be found. Most people think sociology is limited to just worldly problems, but it can be it can be a very broad term. Symbolic Interaction is a communication theory that states society and individuals are created based upon the interactions between each other. One Disney movie that stands out is Aladdin. I feel this movie does a great job of providing examples of symbolic interactionism. My plan is to discuss symbolic interaction and provide examples of the theory.

Traditionally, Disney tales have a common theme where their princesses or princes’ curses need to be broken by the spell through a kiss of love, so the dream becomes a reality. In the first feature-length animated film from Disney, The Snow White, and Seven Dwarves. Jasmine the princess and Aladdin the street boy both they had chemistry and realized their wishes against Jaffar and Middle-Est culture. Passing over the fabulous story of Ratatouille, Alfredo Linguini and Remy that is the story about rejected someone according is status. Disney animated movies blend social diversity through their tales, but they didn’t realize to go so far until they see the first African – American president in the White House, Disney made a First American princess who is black, The Frog and the Princess. Moreover, Disney animated movies are diversities whose people knew as The Jungle from Indian culture, Mulan is a Chinese tale, the Amerindian- Princess Pocahontas, and so on. Thus, Disney animated movies include more various cultures and teach children to know and appreciate diverse cultures.

Racism: discrimination which exemplifies stereotypical differences between the ethnic groups to which people belong. While Disney animated films are the ideal family movies, it is undisclosed to many that such racism is being portrayed. Disney’s movie Aladdin (1992), “was a high-profile release, the winner of two Academy Awards, and one of the most successful Disney films ever produced” (Giroux, 104); however, what is often disregarded is the obvious depiction of careless racism towards Arabs seen in the illustrations of the characters, the statuses into which they are placed and the lyrics of the opening song near beginning of the film. Furthermore, with the movie disguising itself as innocent and wholesome, children are exposed to these

perpetuated over the years throughout Disney’s movies. Disney is one of the largest media companies in the world. According to Forbes, the “net worth and market capitalization of Disney Company has been estimated as $103.96 billion in 2013” ("Walt Disney Company Net Worth - Celebrity Net Worth,”). From the premiere of the Steamboat Willie cartoons in 1928 Disney has transformed pop culture as we know it today. This paper is designed to look into four major issues gender identity, gender roles, ethnicity, social class throughout Disney’s Cinderella (1950) and Frozen (2013). I aim to show that in these films can be found a subtle manual for social norms, a supplier of dominant family values. I will assess certain sociological concepts that are represented in these films namely ‘The American Dream’, standardization, pseudo-individualism and the creation of false needs. As a society, the understanding of these issues are instrumental to our being since our identity is often distorted through long term norms, ideals and merits set forth through these animated films.

Another way Aladdin was successful in getting the princess was the use of his genie. Aladdin's genie was great help to him. With the genie, Aladdin was able to make any wish he wanted. When it came to the sultan's command on the princess's marriage, he demanded to Aladdin's mother that Aladdin must send him "forty basins of gold brimful of jewels, carried by forty black slaves, led by as many white ones, splendidly dressed"(Aladdin). Sultan taking this advice from Vizier knew that it would be impossible for any man to get his daughter. However in this matter, Aladdin was so confident with the help of his genie that he succeeded. This made the sultan agree, but Aladdin made a demand himself to build a palace for the princess. Aladdin knew that

Aladdin doesn’t have an education, is very poor and survives by stealing from others. On the other hand, princess Jasmine has it all. She is well educated and lives in a palace with her father. One day Jasmine becomes

Aladdin Jr. is the 13th play I have been in. Being in this show is a very bittersweet experience for a couple of reasons. One of the reasons is that I am about to age out of being able to perform with the company, Alamance Childrens Theater (ACT). The second reason is this will be the last play that I will ever get to work on with my best friend again. That being said, I have been giving my all to this show to make it the very best it can be. In this play I am one of the Harem girls, also one of the featured dancers. When I found out I was going to be a featured dancer, I laughed because I was the last person I thought they would pick for that part, but they did. This show is based on the Disney movie

Another stereotype given to women in Disney movies is that every story ends with the princess falling in love with her perfect prince charming and living happily ever-after together. It is inevitable for any Disney woman not to fall in love in the end. The Disney women know exactly what the desire in a man, so that when they meet, or see them, for the first time, they know that they are in love. In the 1992 movie Aladdin, also directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, “Aladdin, a street urchin, accidentally meets Princess Jasmine, who is in the city undercover” (The Internet Movie Database). Aladdin, the

Johnny Marco is a good, trustworthy kid. Since his dad left he has worked very hard and has done his best to take care of his mother. But, he dreams of adventures and excitement or anything fun compared to his dull job as being a shoe-repair man. And When a beautiful princess comes to him for help, he just can't turn down that chance or something more. She offers him her hand in marriage if he can rescue her brother, who has been transformed into a frog by an evil witch. Johnny finds himself pulled into a strange world of magic, danger, thrills, scares and more. He encounters talking animals, giants, witches, assassins and many more strange creatures. But, When it all comes down to love, is it really the princess he wants? Or is it his oldest

Even the most seemingly harmless of __ can change the way we treat peopl. In Aladdin, Aladdin is a street rat until he finds a magic genie lamp, which can grant him three of his wishes. However, the villain Jafar, who put him up to finding the lamp, has a different idea for its uses. In the end, Aladdin has to save Princess Jasmine and the city of Agrabah with the influential help of the genie from Jafar and his evil forces. In Disney’s Aladdin, the culture in Agrabah is presented through an orientalist lense, suggesting the population in Agrabah needs, wants, and would be better off with the influence of western culture; this representation is in order for Disney to justify the United States cultural colonization.

Zainab 's life is, however, different. She has to take care of her sick mother, to manage the house, and even to work in order to help her father. In a cinematic way the director shows the way in which Mourad spent his four years in Australia getting his Ph.D., by presenting his picture on a screen with a girl on his lap, gambling, and flirting with girls. Whereas, on the other hand, there is Zainab 's picture going through books and political documents, visiting a sick worker, and surrounded by workers who want to elect her. Mourad comes back after the foreign experts were forced to leave Egypt in 1956 and he becomes the production manager in one of the factories. Zainab turns out to be on the production committee of the same factory and they meet again. Zainab 's philosophy in life appears to be less hypocritical than Mourad 's. The years he went away left her sore. She says,"I learnt that he who has a wound in his heart is better than he who has a stone, that the working hand is more blessed than the full hand, and that the healing soul is worthier than the one that oppresses"(1. 35).

The frame story of The Arabian Nights is set up with the kings encounters with their wives and the demon’s woman. Linked by the emphasis on promiscuity as a shared characteristic of all the women concerned, and structurally by the repetition of the act of betrayal and the humiliation of men, the message is clear: woman’s sexuality and promiscuity can not be controlled.

Little girls everywhere spend their childhoods watching the princesses portrayed in Disney movies, dreaming about the day they too will meet their prince charming. They see how Sleeping Beauty is woken up by a prince, Cinderella marries a prince, Sleeping Beauty turns a beast into a prince, and countless other instances of a girl just like them meeting their perfect man. Disney is infamous for their outdated illustration of gender roles. Mulan is one of the first Disney princess movies in which, instead of waiting for her prince, the heroine actually saves the day, or in this case, China. Mulan makes a variety of statements about gender roles that can be examined through many
