To conclude I will describe how the future is told through the movie too and whether I agree or disagree with how the director/author…

The movie Aladdin was never meant to be created so that the people of the Middle East could have a film to cherish about their culture. The film was scripted, animated, and released all during and within a year of the gulf war.
