AYRT:

You're right in that one shouldn't expect historical accuracy in children's films, and that's why I didn't like the plot of Brave that much. Why did the source of Merida and Elinor's conflict have to be a forced marriage, of all things? The clash between what we as a modern audience expected ("Merida deserves to make her own choices") and what would have been typical in a similar situation ("Merida is being selfish, and needs to put her clan first") was pretty much inevitable.

Most of the kids watching the film wouldn't have cared, but it was weird seeing that feel-good ending where Merida got everybody to believe that children should marry whom they choose. It was like watching Cinderella end with Cinderella and Prince Charming starting a constitutional democracy.

But the same thing happened in Aladin. Jasmine didn't want to be forced to marry someone she didn't choose on her own. In the end she got her father to change the law so she could marry someone she truly loved regardless of social standing.

Totally off topic but it would have been interesting if Disney would delve more into how Aladin was going to handle being Sultan considering he had no education whatsoever and would more than likely utterly fail at trying to run a nation. But it is Disney.

I always figured Jasmine would be ruling Sultana and Aladdin would be her consort
