Arabian Nights AU

Arabian Nights AU (also known as Aladdin AU and Arabia AU) is an AU in the fandom where the Big Four are cast as characters from the Arabian Nights Tales. This can be considered an offshoot to Fairy Tale AU and Pharaoh AU.

About the AU
Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Big Four, and other such characters as people living in the ancient city of Arabia (and in the country that it is based in) and as characters from the Arabian Nights Tales. Like Aladdin (even when the story is sometimes placed in Ancient China), Sinbad the Sailor, the Forty Thieves and more. The four can also be featured in an Indiana setting, when some of the female characters are dressed up as harem girls and dancers.

Because Sinbad is a pirate like sailor, fans like to consider this AU an alternative to Pirate AU.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup is portrayed as Aladdin or his Genie (with Toothless as Carpet or Abu from Disney's Aladdin), a prince of Arabia, a 'Street Rat' with Jack and Aster or Sinbad.

Jack Frost
For the Jarida, Frostbite and Hijack pairings he's cast as Aladdin. He can also be cast as the sailor Sinbad or a thief living on Arabia's streets.

Merida DunBroch
For Jarida and Mericcup she's cast as Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin. A sailor on Sinbad's ship, a princess of Arabia or one of Forty Thieves (for freedom, adventure and a chance to use her skills). Fans have also portrayed as a harem girl.

Rapunzel Corona
Like the film Rapunzel is Arabia's lost princess with her tower as one of the old ruins (that were said to exist in legend) in the vast desert, the daughter of the city's sun god (or goddess) or a female genie (of lamp or ring) from Aladdin. She is also portrayed as a harem girl or dancer.

Flynn Rider
Being a former thief that left his thieving ways after he had falling in love a princess and is now living in a castle, Flynn is portrayed as Aladdin.

Megamind
Because of Megamind's blue skin and the Disguise Generator Watch allowing him to change his appearance, he is commonly seen as Genie from Disney's Aladdin.
