In answer to Ms. K.'s request to elaborate on my Aladdin vs. Kim reference earlier on, the characters are similar, although the stories are nothing alike. Namely, the only woman in Kim's story was a bossy ex-queen. Both boys can be cocky and do whatever is necessary to survive. They live in the same colorful, multicultural, tough love world. Both of them are clever and persuasive to get what they want.
However, Aladdin only steals what he needs and although he knows everyone, is friends with none. Kim is referred to as "Little Friend of All the World" and sometimes takes advantage of people. He will lie to get what he wants, and like Aladdin, is not afraid to use a disguise.
I hope that clears everything up.
