R+P - Aladdin: A Film Noir

In class we have begun to apply the characters and key conversions of the Film Noir genre. We were asked to a pick a movie and adapt the plot and characters so that it resembled that of a Film Noir.

Emily and I choose to adapt the Disney cartoon 'Aladdin'. We started by listing our characters and roughing out a basic plot line.

Anti-Hero/Protaginist: Aladdin
Redemptive women: Jasmine
Femme Fatale: Jafar (Genderbent)

Aladdin has been in jail for several convictions of thievery. His sentence is over and he plans to turn over a new leaf. Unfortunately, he is enchanted by a sorceress named Jafar who seduces him back into a life of crime. The kind and beautiful Jasmine saves Aladdin from Jafar and they live happily ever after...etc.
