A 2002 animated film adapted from "
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", and produced by Joseph Lai of
Space Thunder Kids and
Beauty and Warrior fame. Need we say more?
This film provides examples of:
- Anachronism Stew: One of the thieves is wearing a Batman shirt, for starters.
- Conspicuous CG: Pretty much all of the backgrounds.
- Freeze Frame Bonus: Likely an unintended one; a giant hammer can be seen for one frame well before it's brandished.
- Limited Animation
- No Ending: After the leader of the gold raiders gets tied up and cries out for help, the title appears and the credits roll.
- Off Model: Among its other transgressions, a giant hammer can be seen for one frame well before it's brandished.
- Plagiarism: They ripped off the song "Prince Ali" from Aladdin, albeit in MIDI form.
- Plot Hole: It's not explained how the gold raiders found Ali Baba's house.
- Spared by the Adaptation: See below.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: After the gold raiders find Cassim in their cave, he disappears from the story. In the original story, the thieves killed him.
