1. Ali Baba and Aladdin are different and similar for a lot of
reasons. Aladdin is a Disney movie made in 1992, Ali Baba and
the Forty Thieves is an old folktale.
One similarity is they both have thieves. Aladdin is a thief,
and in the story Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves there’s forty
thieves.
Another similarity is in Aladdin uses one wish from the
Genie to become a prince and they call him Prince Ali Baba, but in
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves the main character is named Ali
Baba.
In Aladdin and Ali Baba people die. Ali Baba’s brother dies,
and the forty thieves die. In Aladdin a person enters the cave and
dies because need to be kind to enter the cave.
One difference is in Aladdin they sing. The Genie, Jasmine
and Aladdin sing. It makes the movie more entertaining.
A third reason is Aladdin there’s magic. There’s a magic
carpet and a magic Genie. The only magic thing in Ali Baba and
the Forty Thieves is saying “open sesame” to move the rock and
open the cave.
In conclusion I like Ali Baba better than Aladdin. I like to
picture the book in my head, and make my own images.
