I wouldn't be surprised, but that would almost be an insult to the original! Razz

I've seen screenshots from it before, but never any video clips. Thanks!

I think it was the second animated film (after Snow White), right?

How much you wanna bet Prince Achmed in Aladdin is named after him? Laughing

Has anyone hear heard of or seen "The Adventures of Prince Achmed?" It's the oldest surviving animated feature-length film! It's actually quite amazing. The whole thing is animated with cardboard silhouettes:

YouTube has a bunch of clips, but here is when he meets Aladin:
