Never noticed it before but, after this video, I realized that there is some good character mirroring and themes that make this story really satisfying. Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie all struggle with feeling trapped in one way or another. Aladdin is trapped in his self-concept and social status, Jasmine is trapped physically in the palace and by the governing laws, and Genie is trapped in servitude and physically in the lamp for millenia. The ultimate way they share their feelings of being trapped though is through not being seen as valuable for their character/personhood until they build their bonds between them which is actually quite deep. I really like this theme since it's so universal.
can we appreciate how quick Dylan put this video out like he said he'd watch this version in a couple weeks after the live action and really kept his word, 181 weeks was a pretty short time compared to his other videos👍🏽
