Lol, no - I get the alerts for issues on my service, and I do need to be aware of them as they come in. I don’t need them after the moment’s passed.

So I spent 5 minutes on Google, looking up 1001 Arabian Nights to find out that the Aladdin tale as well as Ali Baba was added by a French man in the late 18th century, and was not part of the original Arabic stories, but Antoine Galland claimed to have heard the story from a storyteller in Syria.

Oh yes, the ‘92 Disney movie and the subsequent casting call for the live action remake that this entire post was about was VERY TRUE to this source material. Thank you!

“Is Emma Stone not available?”
