  • Awesome Art: The level of detail that goes into the cutouts is just astounding, and really makes you appreciate the amount of work and dedication to it that Reiniger had. The fact that she made this movie entirely by herself only makes it more amazing.
  • Complete Monster: The evil Magician, also known as the Sorcerer, is a lecherous, scheming manipulator who seeks to forcibly marry and bed Princess Dinarsade. After a failed attempt to fool the Caliph into giving the Magician Dinarsade as a prize, the Magician punishes him by having the Caliph's son Achmed flown to parts unknown by a magic horse. To further spite Achmed, the Magician kidnaps his love Pari Banu and sells her as a Sex Slave, before trapping Achmed underneath a boulder in the middle of a volcano to slowly die, mocking Achmed that he's going to take Dinarsade next. The Magician later fools Aladdin into traversing a dangerous pit to retrieve the magic lamp, and seals Aladdin in the pit to die when he fails. Even when Aladdin escapes with the lamp, the Magician steals it and kidnaps Dinarsade, framing Aladdin so he will be executed for it.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Wow, the lamp scenes.
