King Ahamad is tricked out of his kingdom by the evil magician Jafar.
He meets a thief named Abu who helps him escape. Along the way of their
adventures Ahamad falls in love with the princess. Abu helps him both regain
his throne and his chosen love. There are genies, magic jewels, and evil spells. This movie is one of my all time childhood
favorites. As an adult I realized how many similarities it had to Disney’s
Aladdin. I seriously think the screenwriters of Aladdin either watched this
movie or the older, silent one with Douglas Fairbanks that came out in 1924 or
perhaps both! (For the record I have never seen Fairbanks’ version). Watch all
three and decide what you think!!
