Another great video essay by Lindsay Ellis, this time about Disney's "Aladdin" (1992), a somewhat obscure movie by Richard Williams called "The Thief and the Cobbler" that they may or may not have ripped off, along with some background on Howard Ashman, who helped make movies like The Little Mermaid, The Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin into what they are.

Did Disney Really Steal Aladdin?

Lindsey Ellis takes on the claim that Disney stole elements, if not, most of The Thief and The Cobbler to make Aladdin. She presents a story more complicated than simple theft. Brings to focus important players not often mentioned. And timelines that show something else. A story of a talented animator, that was his own enemy. A studio(s?) with no need to be that evil.

Eyebrow Cinema put out yet another excellent video essay the other day. This time, it examines the Netflix through the framework of "How many directors has Netflix 'discovered'? And what are the incentives driving their behavior?". Which he does by contrasting it with the important legacy of Roger Corman.
