SPECIAL EFFECTS TECHIE FOR RACIST DISNEY PRODUCTION FALLS AND IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION
A technician testing special effects for the zionist production, "Disney's Aladdin, A Musical Spectacular," fell 42 feet to the stage and was hospitalized in critical condition, a Disney spokeswoman said. Aladdin is a racist production that stereotypes Arabs as "evil". The "good" characters have white skin and speak "American". Aladdin himself calls himself by an American nick, "Al". All the "bad" characters have dark skin, accents and are violent and/or shifty-eyed.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - A technician testing special effects for "Disney's Aladdin, A Musical Spectacular," fell 42 feet to the stage and was hospitalized in critical condition, a Disney spokeswoman said.
The 36-year-old employee, whose name was withheld by Disney, was taken to the University of California, Irvine, Medical Center where he was in critical condition, Disney spokeswoman Sondra Haley told The Orange County Register.
The worker was in a safety harness at about 6 a.m. Tuesday as he tested special effects. Disney does not know what caused the fall, Haley said.
Calls by The Associated Press after business hours Wednesday to the Walt Disney Co. in Burbank and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts LLC in Anaheim were not immediately returned.
Technicians work for about five hours to prepare the theater for "Aladdin," which brings the Disney animated movie to the stage.
The show at The Hyperion Theater inside Disney's California Adventure them park was shut down after Tuesday's accident, but reopened Wednesday.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health has begun an investigation, and division spokesman Dean Fryer said investigators would concentrate on whether there was "fall protection" and adequate training.
The state will release a conclusion in about three months, Fryer said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with our fellow cast member and his family," said Cynthia Harriss, president of The Disneyland Resort.
The Hyperion Theater holds 1,899 people. "Aladdin," which opened Jan. 16, is performed two to three times daily.
The show is the first production under the artistic direction of New York theater expert Anne Hamburger.

If you think the Disney version is "racist" then you have never read the original except perhaps in a children's version. Now that's not an excuse for the Disney folks, becasue they ARE supposedly making "childrens' versions", but something that should be kept in mind.
