Overview

The story of Aladdin surrounds a carefree, young boy who meets an African magician, claiming to be his uncle. The magician brings him to a cave, convincing him to enter and retrieve a lamp. To ensure his safety, he is gifted a magical ring. Aladdin successfully retrieves the lamp but refuses to give it to the magician until he's out of the cave. Frustrated, the magician traps Aladdin inside.

Now trapped inside the cave, Aladdin figures out he can summon a genie by rubbing the magical ring. He's able to return home, then realizes the lamp does the same. Aladdin has his every wish granted, building a jeweled palace to impress the Sultan's daughter. The magician returns to fight for the lamp back but is defeated, leaving Aladdin to eventually succeed the Sultan and live happily married.

Regarded as the first animated feature film, Lotte Reigner, uses paper cutouts to showcase the Tale of the Magic Horse which features Aladdin in this version.
