How many Disney movies about brown people was I going to get when I was a kid? Not many, so I learned to love what I had.īut even with all the representation afforded to me by these fictional brown people, there’s no denying that Aladdin is the genie’s movie. When adults asked me what my favorite movie was, I told them Aladdin, not necessarily because it was true - that honor went to Sleeping Beauty because I liked the way Maleficent said “Why so melancholy?” to some idiot white guy she captured - but because it seemed apt. The original animated Aladdin came out just a year after I was born, but I wore through the VHS for years afterward.
