60s one hit wonder, at least I might make some money if I negotiated well-- the child star's parents are the ones profitting. Also the entertainment industry is a place that can shatter the souls of adults even. Sending the average boy or girl into a world that can be so shallow, critical and exploitative is really feeding them to the wolves. Let kids be kids while they still can.
A life with loveable Aladdin albeit on the street as a pickpocket or a life of luxury in the palace albeit as a sorceror with evil Jafar.
