Synopsis
The story of Aladdin, a street-smart street rat turned prince to try to win Princess Jasmine's heart, is Disney's 31st full-length animated feature released to theaters in November 1992. It remained at the top of the box office during its release, and was finally released to video in September 1993. * Aladdin is the young man who grew up without any parents, and learned to survive on his own in the streets of Agrabah. His only companion is his monkey, Abu, and together, they cause heaps of trouble as they are forced to steal food to survive. Despite his rough upbringing, Aladdin is blessed with a kind heart, willing to give up his stolen loaf of bread, and giving it to a pair of starving children he sees digging for food in garbage cans.
Princess Jasmine is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah. Although she was brought up having everything and everyone serving her every whim, she was denied her one true wish: freedom. Not having any say in what she could do or what she could wear, things were made worse as her father urges her to choose one of the courting princes or suitors to be her husband. She maintains that marriage should be out of love, not a law, and refuses to concede to her father's wishes. Feeling trapped in the paradise she grew up with, she climbs over the palace wall in the night, and runs away to find out about the entire world she was forbidden to ever see.
Meanwhile, the Sultan, frustrated over his daughter's stubborness, is unaware of Jasmine's whereabouts, and turns to his royal vizier, Jafar, for his insight in finding a solution. But little does the Sultan know of Jafar's evil plot to find a certain magic lamp and take over as ruler of Agrabah. Jafar uses his magical snake staff and casts a spell over the Sultan, convincing him that it is essential to take the Sultan's family ring, and leaves to work on his plan.
In the marketplace, Jasmine finds herself in awe over the wonders that happen everyday there. Most of it is new to

    The film Aladdin narrates the emotive love story of a poor young man who falls in love with the beautiful princess Jasmine and begins a meaningful journey to conquer her love. Aladdin, a “street rat,” as he is often called by those who know him, is a true “diamond in the rough, whose worth lies far within” that has great potential but has not been given the opportunity to shine yet (Clements, Musker). Because of this reason, he is the only one who can enter the Cave of Wonders. He does so to retrieve a magic lamp for Jafar, the Sultan’s evil vizier. This event initiates the departure of the hero’s journey as Aladdin’s encounter with Jafar disguised as an old prisoner signifies the call to adventure. Even though Aladdin is not aware that this is the beginning of his journey, from this point on everything will change. The…

    The main characters of the story, Baba and Amir, are Pashtuns, the majority ethnic group in Afghanistan. While Hassan and his father, Ali, are Hazaras, a minority group and the most persecuted ethnic people of Afghanistan. Although Baba has grown up with Ali and does not feel a hatred for the Hazaras, other Pashtuns in the novel, particularly Assef and his Taliban kindred, believe that the Hazaras are only fit for extermination. The first hint of this transition occurs when Amir and Hassan have an encounter with a violent older boy Assef, who wants to persecute Hassan for being a Hazara. Assef, who believes Hitler was an ideal leader, tells Amir that he is betraying his Pashtun heritage by treating a Hazara boy as his close friend. While Assef's bigotry outrages Amir, who is unable to think of a response. Ultimately, Hassan stands up to Assef and his lackeys; when Assef and his lackeys threaten to hurt the two younger boys, it is Hassan, not Amir, who saves them both by using his slingshot to drive the bullies away. Amir and Hassan characterize the difference between the haves and the have-nots in society. Hassan is the have-not is the Afghan society. His family has no social status, he lives in a mud hut and work as a servant along with his father in Baba’s household. Hassan faces life head on and deals with it. He has the faith to show him the way. Hassan…
