The Messed Up Origins of Aladdin | Disney Explained - Jon Solo 

Jon Solo Love your Fairytale Videos!! So Good!!

Jon Solo do Peter pan it's really dark

Jon Solo will you be looking at Peter Pan?

It's alright if you don't. It was originally a play and a book and it might take a while to get through

Jafar from DCOM Descendants was the owner of a shop and used his son as a merchant. I am guessing that situation was inspired by the Uncle from this story.

same 😂

Omg

Dang lol😂

Are you okay Kermit

Well shit lol

how people describe me

@@user-qg4wi3vs8l same

What loser ways?

That's super anime

Same lmao

He did leave tho

Dr.ClockWorks they mean going for milk

@@shizukajoestarfp5518 Aladdin's dad so disappointed that he decided to visit the spirit world

@@MegaKazooRider for milk

he did leave 🤙🏻

That's depressing

The magician is supposed to be from Algeria, Tunisia, or Morocco, somewhere around that part of Northern Africa

@@lukesmith720 probably why Jafar looks like he does in the Disney movie

@Marissa Lopes It's just that a lot of people don't now these countries or what they are. Just thought I would help people understand

@@lukesmith720 those countries were where the moors once set up shop.

you learn something new every day

How? While Arab invaded and occupied some of Chinese lands years before these stories exist

Sarah M. during this time- no

@@Sarah1977M there is no evidence for that. however, Chinese by many Muslim scholars are considered as Gog Magog nation prophesied to conquer the world at the end of time. they will hold power, they would be numerous so much so that they will take over all the food reserves and waters. and you can see now... china is expanding, stretching its muscles

yasmine mineya if you mean during the time of “1001 nights” stories including “Aladdin” then yes sure Arab reached china about 712 until they lost the occupied land to the Mongol about 1219 to 1256

it'sMe TheHerpes i'm almost impressed that you somehow made it racist

@@sheaamalloy racism is not real, the word itself has no real meaning. it is sad to see how ignorant you've all been trained to be. the reality of the matter remains, thru out the history, people had unpleasant encounters with these people, so it is normal that they teach their children to be careful about them. there is no racism, there is only defense mechanisms, and defense mechanisms work. people these days know nothing, but think they know too much, and that is the problem...

@@itsMe_TheHerpes that is racism lol

@@shanley6772 so staying away from bad people, that might do horrible things to you, is "racism" mhm.... i understand...

That's depression he's talking about

We actually learned the dark origins of a few nursery rhymes and fairy tales when I was in 5th grade and, even though the topic was randomly brought up and wasn't really a part of the curriculum, let me tell you that I recall that being the only time the class was quiet and actually paid close attention. I guess it's just human nature be attracted to darkness. We were kids, but we preferred the dark originals over the sugar-coated Disney versions made for children.

Yeah, try reading the original Fox and The Hound

The problem is, thanks to that most people ignore the original stories... Some classic stories could make so bad ass movies.

I mean,fairytales are all pretty disturbing lol sorry I know this is old, but oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂

Private 404 lol nice profile pic

I took it to mean she was assaulted that night

Hahah ya… cause trauma is actually just DRAMA … and sometimes when SHIT HAPPENS…you get kinda used to it … but you just deal with it differently. “fight flight or freeze”

She probably saw ppl get executed all the time thi

Alby King more Jazz

more like my jazz.....*now imagine Jasmine with saxophone*

thats how americans say jasmine lmao

@@juniperslowed I'm American and I don't pronounce Jazmine like that

@@tyaraoliver2795 there are many different types of american accents

Lol

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 omg lol

Yooooow😂😂😂😂

You like jazz

Lmao 😂

I honestly think that he didn't have any rules. Those were just his personal things he wouldn't do cause even in the movie he says I doesnt like doing it when talking about bringing somebody back to life so that mans he can he just doesn't want to

@@rileyv3606 The Disney Genie wasn't able to resist wishes purely on account of personal tastes. Otherwise he wouldn't have granted Jafar's wishes.

@@NerdnumberoneI think that is why Genie told Aladdin not to wish for those things. As long as Aladdin doesn’t ask he won’t have to do it.

That was Kazaam with Shaq!

@@MrGuggisbergu mean sinbad?

go get yo own jams

Summer

Hukum mera aaka

Reminds me of the RE4 merchant, "Whaddya buying?"

He almost lost everything

Sadly, that's how a lot of those tales ended. Read Tales of One Thousand and One Nights -that's full of those endings. And Khosrow and Shirin (but -spoiler -at least the creepo dies at the end)

At the time when the tale was created slavery was considered normal

@boo boo I am not American, but I appreciate the info 😁

😂🤣

LMAO 😂

i guess the clarification is needed in a story about magic

Matzos

Me: - In head - Jazz....Man. Jazz.....man. sOmEThInGs nOT aDdINg Up

JASMINE also flower tea and rice what idiot names their daughter JAZZMAN

It's actually pronounced hasman in Arabic

CORRECTION HAS MEAN OR YAS MEAN

debra seiber I think Yasmine is more accurate

Shan -T do what works man

Shan -T noted

I'm not gonna lie... my heart just grew a few sizes (Grinch-style). Thanks for this comment Shan-T. Made my day! (and I'm glad I could help you with your presentations too! ;) )

Jon Solo shoots first...hmm

Shan -T same same

😂😂😂😂😂

= puff whadda ya need?

Manga

You just have to wonder: Why should anyone bother to spend a zillion dollars to make a cinema version of a classic fairy tale if they can't make it the way it's originally told because they're quaking in their shoes either about upsetting parents who assume their oh-so-delicate offspring will be traumatized for life, or about boring people out of their skulls because "they're basically dolts with short attention spans"? And, knowing this can be the case, why should we spend OUR money settling for bastardized classics?* I would rather trust them to trust us enough to give us a supremely displayed illustration of the original version. But in this wretched world where humans act so...as Spock would put it, "illogically", trust is so hard to come by, and so easy to betray. One could almost say it's worth its weight in gold. 🤨 😕 🙄 😒 *The answer is, of course, that even bastardizations can entertain, educate, and inform if they're written and presented intelligently and skillfully, and the new developments are intriguing enough...which I'm not too sure about in the case of Disney's *Aladdin* . 😉

that's just a variant of the story of shahrizad, which is a story which is the framing device of all the stories in 1001 arabian nights. Not just aladdin

In 1001 Arabian nights the king shahrayar got cheated on by his wife with one of the slaves so he killed them both and one day accidentally he caught his brother’s wife cheating on her husband also on his way to his palace accompanied by his brother they meet a women which is hold hostage by a genne who loves her in a box and some times he lets her out and sleeps next to her . The women tells the king and his brother her story and that she had slept with more than 750 men which she had kept a souvenir from each one of them (rings) without the knowledge of the genne and eventually she invites both of them to sleep with her . After all of these cheating women that the king had met he became the enemy of women by marrying the virgin girls in his kingdom and executing them after sleeping with them of course his actions lead to a serious problems among his citizens because all of them escaped with their daughters from the country and no unmarried girl is left in the kingdom so his minister shows his concerns to his smart beautiful daughter shahrazad in order to give him a solution to this mess . She tells her father to let her marry the king and she will stop his aggressive action and that’s what happened so in each night shahrazad spends with shahrayar she tells him a story and never finishes it until the next night so at this rate they spend together 1001 nights filled with crazy wonderful stories . So in the last night when she had told every story that she knew the king orders for her execution she tells him to have mercy on her in the favor of her 3 sons with him he eventually discover that he loves her and enjoy her company so he retreat his first decision and they live happily ever after

Wow that's cold

Isn't that the story of Scheherazade??

Power of cliffhanger

There is a Japanese anime that is faithful to the original story its on youtube you can search: قصص عالمية علاءالدين والمصباح السحري

Jessica Mae exactly, in the movie she even says “i knew it!” after he blew his cover

"Good teenagers. Take off your cloths"

Yup

@@SM-sx5jg No but he lied again saying he lived on the streets. Not that he was "aladdin". And she believed him and told her friend that she did. But then Jafar revealed that it was actually him.

I never understood how Jafar "exposed" him. Aladdin wished to BE a prince NOT to look like a prince. So technically Aladdin was a prince before he married Jasmine

If Disney doesn't sue them first

@@wolfy297 There's also Sonic and The Secret Rings.

​@@christianmbabazi9722 I think Aladdin is public domain, as long as it doesn't use names and likeness to what Disney added to their version.

​@@wolfy297 Do you know which year it was released? That would help me find it.

I don’t remember what is the name or how my parents find that dvd but I grow up with this version of Aladdin. This brought me back so many. A movie for kids with this storyline exist

I agree, DSNY's story is way better...

Haha I grew up with the originals for the most part so to be honest when I finally watched the Disney movies they drove me crazy

Not really it's just fake

@@theMagicDitto I prefer the originals in all their darkness.

Ouroboros Maelstrom Dark Magician as in the one from Yu-Gi-Oh!?

@@SearDruid25174 dark magician as in dark skinned nigga

@@juniperslowed ok

In old Arabic, Al Seen means China, but it was also used as a throwaway name for any fictional far away land back then bcs that's the furthest the Arabs got. It's like using Antarctica as the fictional location of a story bcs we all know it's far and unknown.

@@juniperslowed who told u that u could say the n word

Not exactly. Thing is once he married the princess he would become a prince. Basically Genie is playing the long game.

Izzie Newton-Cross I watched the movie yesterday 😂

Omg yes

It's a wierd mix of prince and the pauper and emperors new clothes.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! YEEES!!!!!! 😄😂😄😂

Izzie Newton-Cross i

AniMagix101 umm China has Muslims ethnic group since tang dynasty espacialy the hui and uiguare (they both have Arabic style name)

Tammy Hanic They didn't have sultans, though. It's likely whoever wrote Aladdin hadn't actually visited China himself.

I think it just takes things from different places to make the land Aladdin is in. (For the movie)

Didn’t the Roc was from the story of Sinbad the Sailor?

I think he just used the name in replace of Emperor to help ppl connect.

Lol

🤣

*chill babe, it was just a stab*

Quick call an ambulance... But not for ME!

Those are really interesting

Yes!!!! It was on arteens or artoons or something like that ...

صحيح! كان دبلجة عراقية من سلسلسة افلام قصص عالمية

That song is deleted? I mean, I know in the musical theres a longer part but last time I checked that was in the movie.

Mihke I agree. I would have loved to watch all that drama!

or just the whole 1001 nights! It'd be a hit with the people that like game of thrones

They were. Its. Called 101 nights in Arabian.

It was been made into a drama series by Indian Producers... It's callled Alif Laila... Alif laila has a loy of stories but the beginning part is the most interesting...

They made a miniseries of 1001 nights starring Dougray Scott. Even that one shortened a lot of the stories, but it was much more faithful to the original.

Even if you're a "no-good disappointment", you can still get your ass off that couch, you don't need a genie, just believe and hope. Aladdin's fate changed, not when he got the lamp, but when he finally decided to be the merchant of his "uncle". That's a change of life for him, in the context of the story. He probably changed his mind that night when he saw his mother crying, but you should not wait for loved ones to cry, just so you can start to realize what wrong you were doing in your life.

@@drugsilove2364 m8, he was just joking.. u didn't have to write a whole paragraph

3:23 because he would have to serve a person whose father died of disappointment!

@@einfacherkerl3279 very true😂

@Victoria Vergara I'm actually being that for Halloween today! Lol

Lucas Clark Seriously? As if America is the only country in the world with political corruption. No wonder everyone thinks millenials are idiots.

8rr725 It was stated only as an example, a popular one at that. If you consider a certain group of idiocracy, at least dont become one

yeah XD

I found it annoying and retarded. I'm not American, but as corruption goes, America is not nearly as bad as the middle-eastern countries where these stories take place. Irony?

A lot of countries also have really shitty employee rights-- the kind of shit we banned in the 1920s, with a whole host of laws, plus unions. For as bad as it is for a modern employee, it was 10,000 times worse pre-unions and pre-reforms.

yup not ruining anything....cept childhoods lol jk

@JoybuzzahzTV too bad hes telling the truth so haha

It needs A miove Not the cartoon the book.

Jacob Black they’ve made a new movie that’s coming out soon

@@grace_bb411 yeah but its not gonna be like the actual story

arachnid gaming figures

I was almost uncomfortable...had to light my Spliff to calm down halfway though...lol

that's a good idea

if you insist :)

As a child of the 90s who was excited for the movie to come out, I read the book. I had a lot of questions and still wonder to this day who thought it would be a good idea to market that story to children. Everything is sex rape and murder.

lh9591 yep

That movie is messed up already

fatiimaa 17 XD

Because he had to check “kill a random person” off of his check list

I always thought the name Fatima was from Portugal - is that correct? I’m just a curious cat ...

fatima is an arabic name .

osama roum thank you, boy did I get that wrong.

yes and yes

Tarzan is a true story

Or the origins of King Arthur, the jungle book, or the snow queen.

Jam tom, so is hercules.

Cody Marcukaitis thank you I was like Disney didn’t invent the 3 wish rule...thanks for saving me the deep dive lol

I honestly had no idea he story was french. I read it from a book of different stories. thank you for this information.

Uh have u seen the hunchback one

No. no, to me this one is the worst one until the cinderella one....

I think a lot of people are on that these days

@Liz bth Oh yeah....Faerie Tale Theater is pretty much as close to British pantomimes as we Americans are going to get. Pee-Wee Herman played Pinocchio in one of the episodes too, don't-cha-know.

Where can I find this!!!!!? I need to watch this

...Oddly enough, that episode was made *BEFORE* Pee-Wee became as well-known as he did.

i need to watch it...

What's the title?

From the future here He is nearly 1M subscribers

From further in the future here He is nearly 1.2M subscribers

​@@tektrixter 1.34mil now... Not that much growth

From the future of the further of the future he now has 1.37 Million subs

I think the wroter intended aladdin to be chinese

Yeah probably, it makes sense to me

Why did the Disney movie had to change location from China to a fictional middle eastern city that doesn’t exist?

No, I think its literally originally a Chinese story which was then rewritten as a Arabian tale

@@ArunaKhudan Quite the opposite.

Ha

Hercules is messed up, with killing his wife and kids in a fit of rage and all, but still it's not as messed up as the stories from Tantalus and his line down to Orestes... it contains filicide, fratricide, nepoticide, incest, avunculicide, mariticide, matricide, cannibalism, etc, etc, there's hardly a taboo that's not broken in this collection of myths.

Cool Bean I saw that

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PpUzVvnxUfI.html

And the little mermaid too

I saw it too 🤔😒

Yep. TheThings are pretty... Messed up. Gettit? Cause they stole the messed up origi- oh whatever
