Why the Genie in Aladdin writes “backward”
In the animated movie Aladdin, there a scene where the Genie is writing his master’s order on a notepad. If you take a closer look, he’s actually writing from right to left. Because a song called Arabian Nights is heard in the movie and it’s inspired by a story from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, it is thought that the story takes place in Arabia or a similar place. So the character is actually using the correct form of writing in Arabic.
