Upon the Wings of Greater Things
The creative endeavours of Starla Huchton
So this went out to my email newsletter subscribers on Wednesday evening, and now it’s time to tell the rest of the world!
As you know from my last post, Dust in the Desert is a retelling of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, and I talked a bit about the issues I had with it already. So here’s my question:
You guys, we gotta talk about Aladdin.
For real. This definitely needs discussing.
I don’t mean the dewey-eyed Disney-fied Aladdin with catchy songs and a hilarious genie and hidden adult humor. When I say Aladdin, I mean ALADDIN. The original one. The one that I’ve spent a LOT of time with over the past few months.
