"First, that fez and vest combo is much too third-century. These patches. What are we trying to say? Beggar? No. Let's work with me here." We watched the Disney animated classic "Aladdin," and we wish we could go back and watch it again for the first time. We've seen this movie countless times, and Robin Williams' unforgettable performance as Genie still makes us laugh to this day. We also have to talk about the power couple Aladdin and Jasmine. Aladdin was the first crush of many little queer boys across the land, and we all wanted to be Princess Jasmine (that hair!). Let's face it, this movie is FULL of queer representation - from the Genie's fierce impressions to Jafar mincing around the Agrabah Palace. And don't worry - we talk about the phenomenon that is #Jafarina (look it up). This movie is a bona fide classic, and maybe we're still singing "A Whole New World" in our heads, and maybe we're (definitely) singing Jasmine's solo.
