So big ups for Disney for venturing out of Anglo-Europe for Aladdin, but the movie has... some problems. The film's opening "Arabian Nights" song contains the line, "Where they cut off your ear/ if they don't like your face./ It's barbaric, but hey, it's home." Nice interpretation of Shari'a law there, guys. That line was censored for later releases.

The racism continues with the designs of the main characters - Aladdin & Jasmine basically look like white people with a little bronzer, while the bad guys have hook noses, massive eyebrows and are ultra-Arabic. Robin Williams is in this movie as the genie - pay attention, this will be important.
