“Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie.

That seemed really cool to me.” CharacterKidsGuyGirlStreetsAdventureHeroMy FavoritePrincessOddsRatsUnbelievableAnimationReally CoolRobinsGeniesLead CharactersDisney Animation Author:Zachary Levi

“Part of what we want to do with the Heroic Imagination Project is to get kids to think about what it means to be a hero. The most basic concept of a hero is socially constructed: It differs from culture to culture and changes over time. Think of Christopher Columbus. Until recently, he was a hero.
