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.

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.

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.
