Which story was the most "accurate"?

The story of Aladdin is actually set in "a land far in the east" of Arabia and the descriptions match China, specifically Xinjiang, perfectly. So Aladdin was Chinese, but probably written by Arabs who had never been there themselves but had second or third hand accounts of Muslim traders who frequented Western China (Xinjiang) which borders Afghanistan. That's why the people of Xinjiang are Muslim

Oh fuck no, this is not appropriate for school

To be fair, in the original story. The Jin introduces himself as "the Slave of the Lamp."

I knew Pocahontas would be on here. Man, Disney wasn't even trying when they made that movie. Ironic, since it was specifically designed to be Oscar bait.

That description of british peoples looked very accurate, amazing how some things don't change over time

Fun fact, the reason why they are so good at doing british cockney accents is because one of the creators, Tom, is british

Hercules is 100% accurate, it's not so much a reversal as a weird cultural fact that they did consider big penises uncouth and barbaric, a small penis was according to them "aestetically pleasing" and godlike

Herules' dick jokes ARE historically accurate as far as I know.
Ancient greeks valued the domination of spirit over instincts, and while impressive musculature was seen as a sign you took good care of yourself, a large... appendage... was seen as a sign of bestiality, of the more animalistic, instinct-driven side of humanity, and thus not esthetically pleasing.

Which is why, or so I've been told, many otherwise impressively statuesque sculptures have a rather disappointing dangler. It was to show they were great by their spirit and mind, not just by their muscles.

About the Greeks, it's not so much that the statues were realistic to the proportions idealized at the time. The idealization was small, and in fact, they maintained that "parts" that today we would consider average or above average, were symbols of barbarism or low intelligence.

In fact there are quite a few political and literary attacks towards Germanic Tribes and Africans; saying that they parts were symbols that they did not reach the sophistication of Greek culture, since they lacked the sophistication in proportion on their body. Yeahh, the Greeks basically, if they thought your culture had "BD" Energy, they would colonize you or see you as savage and unworthy of appreciation.

Bro was flabbergasted

A Mr. Terry discovering Flashgitz. What a joy!

I can feel it, Mr. Terry is not prepared for what he’s going to see 😂

As an English woman, I have to say that the first chap was a looker! The second one, not so much.

You brought up the taking of a thief's hands as if it's something messed up to show kids, but in Disney's Aladdin, the apple seller was about to take Jasmine's hand after she unknowingly stole an apple to give to a hungry boy.  Like, he had Jasmine's arm pinned down and Aladdin stopped the blade mid-swing.

“You are a Pagan God & must stay bound to your torment” Bro really had to go all polytheistic about that 💀☠️

Actually Aladdin is chinese, not arabic. The story was changed to be set in arabia when the original story was translated into french, which was directly translated into english. But the original story it was set in western china, the closest to india.

As the kid in class pointed out, they got the dates for the Taj Mahal wrong by several years, so it's historically inaccurate. And we all know historically inaccurate things aren't worth watching.

Joking aside, Frozen was based (VERY loosely) on Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen". The best historical guess for Elsa would be Jenny Lind, a famous opera singer who rejected Hans and whom he thus allegedly patterned the titular snow queen after. There are a number of surviving photos of her, but those give nothing that would begin to explain what this video did with her.

The lion on Hercules, ahem sorry, Herakles is accurate. Herakles made a pelt from the Nemean Lion and used it as armor for most of his labors because nothing but the lion's own claws and teeth could penetrate it. Mythology Guy actually did a great mythology innacuracies in Disney Hercules and its crazy what Disney actually got correct such as Megara being Herakles lover and the scene with the centaur.
