In the Disney version, Aladdin always has a “kick butt” attitude which we think may be due to his age & resilience.

Somehow he’s able to maintain such an outlook despite all of the challenges that come up in his life and this might be something inspiring for kids who also have to face things head on. He also remains loyal even when most people would give up, like when he goes through so much trouble trying to get back.
