Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

Ep. 84: Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child: Aladdin (1997)


Listen Later

Drew and Cassie begin Aladdin Month with the Aladdin episode from HBO's Happily Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child featuring the voices of B.D. Wong, George Takei, Joan Chen, and more. This series from the 90s reset classic fairy tales into alternate cultural settings, although for Aladdin they kept the Chinese setting from the original story. We discuss Aladdin as a dreamer instead of just lazy, the combination of the magician and the vizier, using the lamp as a lamp, the lack of actual wishing involved, the movie Holes, and much more!
