A blast from the past
You’d be surprised to learn how many Disney movies are inspired not just by other films, but famous books or folk tales. From Aladdin, based on the folk tale One Thousand and One Nights which dates to 1706, to Mulan, based on an old Chinese legend, and the list goes on.
Some movies kept the original name, such as the case in Alice in Wonderland (based on Lewis Carroll’s book from 1865), while others played with the title and plot, such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (the book Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo).
