I chose the 1992 Disney interpretation of “Aladdin”. This story revolves around a young man named Aladdin and his quest to find his place in life. He lives in the fictional kingdom of Agrabah. It is ruled by a Sultan who has a daughter named Jasmine, who is unwilling to marry any royal suitor that comes to court her. The Sultan is advised by his royal Vizier, Jafar.
