[quote="AladdinsGenie"]They can't possibly be talking about our movie. We're in the AladDin fandom; they are talking about Aladin so we are good :lol:

[i]-Did I mention Pocohontas there? Well she would have been about 8 when she met John Smith in the real story. -.- [/i]

...ok, so what? Do you want a cookie for that statement? At this point, I am sure a lot of us are aware the Disney version is not the original story thanks to History classes, common knowledge and the fact I know parents who still won't let their child watch it because of its inaccuracies....just as we know ALL of them are not the original story. No duh.

[i]Aladin doesn't have an Indian accent even though he's Indian. Nope, he's American. Even a really obviusly fake Asian accent would be a breakthrough for Disney. [/i]

...you've gotta be shittin' me.

1. Indian?! WTF? STEREOTYPE!! And he's not American. Where do you see he's American? America wasn't even around!
2. This is what I was talking about earlier. They WANT that stereotpyical accent in there, which would just prove how ignorant people are and warped the images of Arabs is.
3. A-L-A-[b]D[/b]-D-I-N. Learn this, please. It just makes me think you're even less intelligent when you want to argue about this movie, yet you can't even spell it.

[i]Hourglass figures. Just look at Jasmine from Aladin. Look at her for about 30 seconds. Looka t her shape. It's not physically possible. Not only that but the cartoons for KIDS, damnit, are making them think that princesses are big-busted and tiny-waisted/slippered.[/i]

Thank-you, Captain Obvious! Welcome to the caracatured body types of Aladdin! To your left you have sultan, who is based off an [i]egg[/i] and Iago, who is meant to be like a little [i] clay pot[/i]. Her hourglass figure was intentional and an artistic pun off that--do your research. For more examples of this, check out Hercules where Meg's body is meant to be like a Greek pot when she puts her hands on her hips.

And can someone PLEASE tell me where Jasmine is big busted? I see this all the time and I really want to know where people are getting this from. Like, seriously. She's like what? A 'B' cup? *Maybe* a small 'C'? If that's big busted to you, do not meet me :lol:

And yes, her stomach is small. We are well aware of it. Get over it. She's a 15 year old princess living in the higher bracket of society of a mythical Arab country set hundreds of years ago. I know of VERY few 'fat' or 'thick' princesses from that part of the world.

P.S.--wtf is 'slippered'?

[i]-Ugly sisters yadadada, yes I know it's in the original tale but Disney has major censoring/editing powers over innocent stories, as has been aforementionedly proved(o.o) 
-Ummm... Not remaining true to the original tales XP [/i]

These two statements after each other are hysterical :lol:. "Yes I know it's in the original tale....but they're not being true to the original tale". Uuuuhh...oook? Honestly, I highly doubt anyone would want to see any of the fairy tales in their original forms. You *think* you want that and "omg purity!!11", but you reeeeally don't.  You honest to God do not want to watch the real story of Pocahontas and I highly doubt you would watch an animated movie where the 8 year old marries the older John. You wouldn't want to take your child to see them and you know it.

And even when people give you the slightest glimpses into the original fairy tales, very few people take it in. I LOVED The Brothers Grimm movie they just came out with that had little references to a lot of the fairy tales and how they came up with certain things. Some were twisted a little, yes, but quite a few weren't and not too many people cared for it. My brothers were highly disturbed the entire time.

This person is highly amusing. They want to be a Disney hating feminist, yet don't have their facts right that they hate :lol:. Where is this at?[/quote]
