one thousand and one nights & Disney's Aladdin; Borat

Watched Lindsey Ellis's videos "Did Disney Really Steal Aladdin?", "How Aladdin Changed Animation (by Screwing Over Robin Williams)", and "Why Borat Works Better in 2020".

Then watched Yousef Abdul-Husain's videos “Every Offensive Arab Stereotype in Aladdin (2019)… Do They Fix Anything?” and “This ‘Comedy’ Is Really Anti-Muslim Propaganda”.

I have thoughts I want to explore after watching these two perspectives back to back.
