Would most kids around the world even know Aladdin if it wasn't for the Disney copyrighted movie?
- the_af 5mo agoVery likely yes. I was very familiar with this story, and other "Arabian" tales, well before Disney made the original animated version. We also had Grimm's fairy tales, which I loved reading, and nowadays am reading to my daughter, to her delight. Yes, with beheadings and child-eating monsters and witches.
- razakel 5mo agoAladdin, Ali Baba and Sinbad the Sailor were well-known long before Disney. There's even a major Chinese company named after one!
- Zardoz84 5mo agoI know very well before the movie. It's a classic folk tale.
