Early cartoons treated black people like it was still 1850. This takes place in Arabia. Why were virtually all the indigenous people made to look like the most outrageous stereotypes of American black people? I know they are peripheral to the plot here, but what did the Disney corporation think Arab people looked like? Did they bother to even give some sort of reality to this cartoon? Oh, well. It's in the past. Right?
