Aladdin (1992) 

While many of us dreamed of riding on a magic carpet, having a tiger as a pet, and being granted wishes by a genie, the Aladdin we know and love from childhood wouldn’t make it in Hollywood today. As evident from the live-action re-make from 2019, there were some noticeable differences. 

Disney has now added disclaimers apologizing for the film’s potentially offensive stereotypes about Middle Eastern people that would cause potential ire. In the less successful live-action reboot, those stereotypes were minimized, and Princess Jasmine was altered to not need much rescuing.
