No Chinese or Middle Eastern actors were used to depict the Chinese and Middle Eastern characters in this movie. I guess the basis of the story of Aladdin is somewhat confusing, which translates to this confused production.
It is embarrassing to watch, especially, the casting of Aladdin, Mrs. Chang, Princess Mei Ling, and Fatima. I mean no slight to the actors, I think they would be fine in other roles. Sorry for leaving anyone out.
For your sanity, I suggest only watching the Riff Trax version of this flick as having people watching this show along with you, while making fun of it, is comforting.
