laddin
is one of the classic Disney heroes: born and raised among a den of villains, yet brave, intelligent, clean,
steadfast, and quick-witted, even if he happens to be a street thief at the moment. In short, he's a diamond
in the rough.
The animators' portrayal of Aladdin is not typical of Disney; his eyes are large, like those of a Disney heroine,
and the lineaments of his body are freer-flowing and more rounded than is usual for Disney heroes. The biggest
difference from the norm is that, unlike most youthful Disney heroes, he's a doer rather than a passive character;
in this respect he closely resembles Peter Pan from four decades earlier.
Film: "Aladdin" (1992)
Voice artists: Scott Weinger (speaking) and Brad Kane (singing)
