Abstract

Gender understanding is not only important for adults but also for children. Children are expected to learn about it from an early age. In connection with it, movies based on children literature can be fun and easy tools for gender learning. One of the children's stories that have been made in a movie is Aladdin. As a fantasy story, Aladdin movie can provide entertainment. On the other hand, through the movie, the children, especially the girls, are expected to learn about gender equity. According to this descriptive qualitative research, resistance could occur when the dominated is put in an unequal position. Those kinds of resistance are resistance to female domestication, to restrictions on participating in public affairs, to arranged marriage, and to education limitation.
