“The Thief of Bagdad”
I did not really know what to expect when I first started watching the movie. The beginning was a little confusing but soon I started to understand the plot. I can see lots of things that Disney took and used in Aladdin. The most noticeable were names such as Jafar, Abu, and Genie. Every time those names were said I pictured the characters from Aladdin. Another thing that stood out to me was the scenery. Specifically, the garden that the princess spends her time in reminds me a lot of the garden from the movie Aladdin. The other part that stood out to me was the parade of the princess. It was very similar to the parade that Aladdin was part of when he went to the palace to see Jasmine as Prince Ali. In both of these parades, the center of the parade was an elephant. One final similarity between the two movies was Jafar. In both movies, he has magic powers and hypnotizes people. He uses these powers for personal gain without thinking about others. Overall I thought that the plot of The Theif of Bagdad was very interesting and I am excited to see how the movie ends.
