Based upon the Stories of 101 Nights this is a simple tale.
A young musician, Amin, who secretly is in love the singing princess Zeila. He steals a magic ring from the caliph's adviser Jafar, made for him by the sorcerer Burk. Amin is caught and physically changed, so no one recognizes him. An old lady, Fatima, gives him Aladdin's lamp with the ghost, with whom he saves the princess from the spell of the ring and out of the hands of Jafar.
The animation is inspired by Disney's "Snow White" and "Pinocchio". The backgrounds are beautiful, thanks to Technicolor. They are paintings of themselves.
Recently digitally remastered and available with Italian sound and subtitles. Some releases claim to have English subtitles, as well. as an extra a documentary on the making of this animation (in war time), no subtitles here.
