Yeah, the "it's a scandinavian fairy tale" is a weak excuse when they changed almost everything about the original story.

Actually, is a weak excuse even without that. TLK was Hamlet with lions. Aladdin is chinese in the original story.

That aside, the concept looks like Tangled 2.0. and I find it really boring.

[(Anonymous)]

Um, no, Aladdin is not Chinese. It's based off the Middle-Eastern folk tale, "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp."

The Lion King was lions, yeah. Because of obvious connections between lions and royalty, I imagine, and the popularity of animal characters. It was set in Africa, sure, but the characters aren't POC. They are literally lions, and being in Africa is a result of that, not an attempt to create ethnic diversity.

[(Anonymous)]

I was personally under the impression that gabzillaz only meant to assert the fact that the character of Aladdin, rather than the story itself, is said to be of Chinese origin in the Middle Eastern source material.

[gabzillaz]

Aladdin was a middle-eastern folk tale... set in China, and Aladdin was chinese.

The point is that they changed the setting to Africa, and they could have changed the setting of Frozen to another place, since they changed the story so much already.

And Esmerelda was fair skinned, having a white mother and an unspecified father. The Princess in "The Frog Princess" the book "Princess and the Frog" was based on was from bullshit made up country and was white.

Disney has changed races in original stories from white to "PoC" in the past. People are either ignorant of that fact or refuse to acknowledge it.

And honestly they change a lot about pretty much ever adaptive tale they have done.

Could they have made her not white? Of course. Are they required to? No.

[gabzillaz]

Of course they are ot required to. Doesn't mean people can't critisize them for not even trying.
