Disney’s remake of Beauty and the Beast is the latest in a slew of live-action adaptations of animated classics,with many more to come.
The poster builds on Disney’s promise of no whitewashing in the remake, by ensuring that at least the Aladdin and Jasmine are of Middle-Eastern origin.
Expect soundbites of the Osar-Winning “A Whole New World” to feature heavily in the marketing for Guy Ritchie’s live-action Aladdin.
This focus on cultural accuracy highlights a growing trend across the board with Disney to focus on better representation, increased diversity, and more accurate storytelling.
