My three-year-old son saw “Aladdin” at a friend’s house and came home in tears. “It was Euro-colonialist propaganda that utterly trivialized and finally erased the lived experience of actual Arabs,” he cried. He was right, but I had to scold him sharply for failing to notice the troubling and blatantly speciesist ways that the film treats its animal characters. And of course this is all to say nothing of the Genie, a person of color who is caged in a lamp and forced to serve Aladdin as a literal slave. Euro-colonialist, indeed.
