            • Trivia
              Debuted in the US in a version that removed almost 30 minutes of footage that was deemed too controversial (i.e. references to lesbianism and bestiality). It was not a financial success, and didn't even have a national theatrical run. No prints of the US version were known to exist until a copy was found and restored in 2020 for the film's blu-ray release.
            • Crazy credits
              There are no ending credits and no 'THE END' title. The film simply fades to black after the final scene.
            • Alternate versions
              An English dubbed version that is cut down to 100 minutes and is missing the crocodile sex scene, lesbian princess and a few other scenes exists.

            A bizarre, yet strangely enthralling take on Arabian Nights.
            The worlds first adult animated film (predating Fritz The Cat by 3 years), A Thousand and One Nights is a bizarre, hallucinogenic, and erotic take on Arabian Nights, that ends up being a strangely entralling watch. An absolute must for fans of obscure animated films!
