Supplemental #04 – The True Origin of “Alice”

cinemastoryorigins@gmail.com (Paul J. Hale) — Sat, 15 Aug 2015 10:27:38 +0000

The origin story of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, the story people tend to hear, about Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell rowing up the river while in improvises a story to entertain her is only half the story. Like past supplemental episodes, it’s a story I want to tell, but it just wanders too far […]

05c – Aladdin Part 3

cinemastoryorigins@gmail.com (Paul J. Hale) — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 02:17:44 +0000

In the final episode of the Aladdin Series, we pick up where we left off in episode 5b, with Disney’s Aladdin trying to repair the damage of his first attempt to court Princess Jasmine, and Aladdin from the “One Thousand and One Nights” sabotaging Princess Badr Al-Badur’s marriage to the son of the Sultan’s grand […]

05b – Aladdin Part 2

cinemastoryorigins@gmail.com (Paul J. Hale) — Sun, 17 Aug 2014 01:52:29 +0000

In our last episode, we left both Disney’s Aladdin and Shahdazad’s Aladdin sealed within a deep treasure trove. Disney called it The Cave of Wonders, and in the One Thousand and One Nights it is the Cave of Treasure. To all appearances, that should’ve been the end of the story and there shouldn’t have been […]

Supplemental #02 – Djinn

cinemastoryorigins@gmail.com (Paul J. Hale) — Sun, 13 Jul 2014 23:52:51 +0000

I tried to squeeze the whole subject of Jinn into Aladdin Part 2, but to do so would kill the momentum of the Aladdin story, so I decided this should be another supplemental. And since you all like the first supplemental about Shahadazad so much, supplemental episodes may become a regular thing. When you do […]

05a – Aladdin Part 1

cinemastoryorigins@gmail.com (Paul J. Hale) — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 02:12:19 +0000

The story of Aladdin is one of the most familiar narratives in all of literature, a classic ‘rags to riches’ tale featuring a young hero who has to learn an important lesson; an exotic setting; a good healthy dose of magic; a beautiful heroine; and an evil villain (or two, depending on which version of […]

The story of Mulan is one of the most mundane of all Chinese folktales. In Ancient China, with folklore rife with magic, Gods, Demons, Dragons and all kinds of supernatural influences, it was the plausibility of Mulan that made it such a compelling story. Though her story has changed through the centuries, its core elements […]
