Trivia

Aladdin's real/original name in Arabic is Al-Aíden.Although this film & a stage musical as well take place in ancient China, the Arabic music & dancing acts are a sign that the Aladdin is actually a major part of the Arabic culture & not the Chinese. See more »

What were they thinking???

Laughable attempt at a live action Aladin, this poorly conceived "movie" is more akin to a cheap saturday morning kids show than an actual film version of a play. Imagine Aladdin in china with EVERY characters played by VERY white american actors, including the emperor which looks like a sloppy overweight redneck. The musical numbers and cringe-worthy but the actors do a fine job with the material they had. Rightfully forgotten.
