[quote="Fez_Head"]Thanks, Meesh. I guess my topic is a little bit of Shakespeare and sociology. In my Shakespeare university course this past year, I read [i]Romeo and Juliet[/i] in this manner and it really opened my eyes on just how important male relationships are not just in Shakespearean plays, but in Elizabethan England at large. I'm really excited to get started on it and delve more into some of the secondary sources I have already found. Wow, that's a lot of music :shock: How on Earth are you going to narrow it down to just a few to write about? I will say that you should definitely talk about Mulan. Other than my major bias as it is my other favourite movie, but the score is so beautiful. I especially love the piece, Short Hair, when she makes the decision to leave her family. Seriously, I want a haircut to that epic synthesizer music. :lol:[/quote]

"Eye of the Beholder" too, when Jasmine (and the audience) learns the crazy extent to which Aladdin loves her. She's also a bit over-jealous in "Elemental, My Dear Jasmine," which she learns to overcome. I like to think Sadira came later, which might explain how she doesn't completely flip over some of the things Sadira does. I think her jealousy in "Dune Quixote" is very fair and handled <span style="font-style: italic">reasonably</span> well. <br /> <br />Plenty of episodes feature Jasmine becoming adventurous and useful in combat, to the point where Mozenrath takes her seriously as a threat. There is one episode where she basically hints that she's over it all though. I can't remember which. She says something like, "I could do without the constant monsters." <br /> <br />I feel like everybody grows in "Garden of Evil," even if Aladdin learns a little too late. <br /> <br />There's also "Riders Redux," where Jasmine learns to be her own person and to step up as an authoritative figure. You could say "The Ethereal" too, but I feel like her love for her people was there all along, especially after her growth in "Do the Rat Thing." <br /> <br />I also always enjoy "The Spice is Right," when Aladdin learns to forgive himself. There are a couple of episodes where Aladdin learns humility, despite being unbeatable and revered ("Getting the Bugs Out," "When Chaos Comes Calling"). <br /> <br />There's also "My Fair Aladdin," where Aladdin struggles to balance his street cred with the expectation of him to be proper and well-groomed. <br /> <br />For some episodes, I feel like the writers regressed the characters to conjure character growth, like "Air Feathered Friends." <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />Nothing beats the first and third movies though. Gah, I gush when Aladdin leaves Cassim to take responsibility for his actions in Agrabah. The third movie really shows that he and Jasmine are ready for a family. <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br /> <br />I'm going to stop there. I'm a nerd.

I've always gotten the impression that Genie might stay around the future generations, but honestly, I have no idea. I guess that would be pretty hard, seeing all of these people and knowing that they will eventually leave you behind. Poor Genie. That's got to be pretty tough. At least he will have Carpet. <br /> <br />Yes, Raiders of the Lost Shark (I love all of the Indiana Jones similarities in the tetralogy). I agree, I think Aladdin's conflicting emotions should have been developed further, but I do applaud them for making note of it. I think this is a significant moment for Aladdin, especially for his own maturation. I've always loved how flawed Aladdin is, (don't even get me started on how much I ADORE the colour symbolism of his character) especially since Disney always likes to make these perfectly perfect characters who are so unrealistic sometimes, and this episode really emphasizes this. I just wish, like you, that they would have gone further into it. <br /> <br />I'm so curious about Razoul. I feel like he has this really interesting backstory and I want to know it now.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
