The document compares and contrasts the folktale of Ali Baba to the Disney movie Aladdin. Both stories feature a poor main character who discovers riches in a magical cave. However, Ali Baba is a simple folktale without songs, animals, or deaths, while Aladdin includes musical numbers, talking animals, and avoids killing characters. While the stories share some similarities like an evil antagonist and references to the same god, they differ significantly in their presentation and additional elements.
