We acknowledge the tremendous cultural responsibility inherent in adapting this timeless fable that is based on tales from Africa, Arabia, China, Europe, India, Persia and Russia and beloved across generations and cultures, and our adaptation is deeply indebted to the rich and diverse tapestry that is Middle Eastern, North African and South Asian (MENASA) cultures, languages and aesthetic traditions.
