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:

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

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