In the universe where you and I can both easily identify the film as rooted in Arab culture. The same thing applies to eastern animes as well - Vinland saga is about Vikings, but it’s obviously an eastern interpretation of them.
- freejazz 1y agoIt's obviously not rooted in Arab culture at all. I can imagine this being confusing to someone whose experience with Arabic culture consists entirely of having seen Aladdin, however.
- krapp 1y ago>Vinland saga is about Vikings, but it’s obviously an eastern interpretation of them. Vinland Saga, Frieren and other anime often put a lot more effort into cultural and historical authenticity than Disney ever has. That's due to those anime being based on manga where the historical setting is often the hyperfixation of the mangaka (obviously there are exceptions, see the "nuns are mikos" trope.) Disney, meanwhile, only ever shits out racist minstrel stereotypes that appeal to white people because that's the fastest way to make a buck.
