Product Information

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp (1917), directed by Chester M. Franklin and Sidney A. Franklin and released by the Fox Film Corporation, told the story using child actors. [29] [30] [31] It is the earliest known filmed adaptation of the story. Yet the evil magician is specifically described as living in Africa, as distinct from where Aladdin lives. (This is probably because the anonymous authors who passed down the story of Aladdin over the centuries weren’t too hot on geography, and merely wanted the setting of the story to be somewhere in ‘the East’ or ‘Orient’.)

The Arabian Nights, episode of the Rankin/Bass series Festival of Family Classics (1972-1973), inspired by different tales of the collection, also including Aladdin. The story of Sinbad the Sailor was also a late addition to the 1,001 Nights, even though the story had been around – independently – for some time before the eighteenth century. Aladdin is an impoverished young ne'er-do-well, dwelling in "one of the cities of China". He is recruited by a sorcerer from the Maghreb, who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father, Mustapha the tailor, convincing Aladdin and his mother of his good will by pretending to set up the lad as a wealthy merchant. The sorcerer's real motive is to persuade young Aladdin to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp (chirag) from a booby-trapped magic cave. After the sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin finds himself trapped in the cave. Aladdin is still wearing a magic ring the sorcerer has lent him. When he rubs his hands in despair, he inadvertently rubs the ring and a genie appears and releases him from the cave, allowing him to return to his mother while in possession of the lamp. When his mother tries to clean the lamp, so they can sell it to buy food for their supper, a second far more powerful genie appears who is bound to do the bidding of the person holding the lamp.Aladdin features as one of five stories in the Hallmark Entertainment TV miniseries Arabian Nights in 2000, featuring Jason Scott Lee as Aladdin and John Leguizamo as both of the genies. Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp’ has been translated and adapted many times since its first publication in 1704 and continues to be re-told today. Its continued re-tellings are a testament to the story’s ability to inspire and entertain generations of readers. Where is the Aladdin story set? Gogiashvili, Elene (3 April 2018).

So Aladdin sets off, unsure of how he will ever recover the pavilion and his wife. Then, as he is thinking, he rubs the magic ring he still wears, and the genie of the ring appears. The genie is unable to override the genie of the lamp and so cannot restore the pavilion to Aladdin, but he agrees to transport Aladdin to the place where the pavilion now stands.

The 1940 British movie The Thief of Bagdad borrows elements of the Aladdin story, although it also departs from the original story fairly freely: for instance the genie grants only three wishes and the minor character of the Emperor's vizier is renamed Jaffar and becomes the main villain, replacing the sorcerer from the original plot.
