When I teach literary criticism, particularly branches that deal with cultural representation, I often show the hit Disney film from 1992, Aladdin. The movie does an excellently terrible job of portraying class and ethnicity, as many children's films do, so I'm able to introduce to my students complex literary theories in a simplified way.
The latest video from Earthling Cinema on YouTube's Wisecrack channel takes apart Aladdin in a humorous and insightful way, touching on many of those problematic social topics as well as other silly stuff. It's worth a look as you head into the long weekend. Beware of a bit of adult language. Enjoy!
