00:00:30the adventures of Prince Ahmed a silhouette film by Lottie Reineger
00:01:00The Sorcerer
00:01:26Benazard Ahmed
00:01:55Mary Banu Aladdin
00:02:17The Witch The African Sorcerer was the most powerful
00:02:28magician of his time.
00:02:34His knowledge of the secrets of black magic was second to no one in the whole world, but
00:02:41Also, no one was as ugly as he was, and he could not change that.
00:03:11And now he had fallen in love with the beautiful daughter of the Caliph of Baghdad, the Princess
00:03:18Dinezard.
00:03:42To win her, he gathered up all the power of his magic art and created a magic horse.
00:03:58A wooden horse, which could fly through the air.
00:04:09The sorcerer adorned himself as splendidly as he could manage, swung himself onto the
00:04:14horse and flew to Baghdad.
00:04:20There, the Caliph's birthday was being celebrated with great pomp.
00:04:47A huge crowd had gathered in front of the splendid palace.
00:05:17The great Caliph.
00:05:28Jugglers, conjurers and dancers competed with each other to entertain the ruler and his
00:05:39court with their cunning.
00:06:05The sorcerer and his horse mingled with them, nobody could match his performance.
00:06:24It's a magic horse, exulted Caliph, which flies through the air.
00:06:38Princess Dinezard, the Caliph's daughter.
00:06:53Prince Ahmed, her brother.
00:07:02The sorcerer soared into the air on his horse, fetched a banner from the highest dome of
00:07:08the palace and presented it to the astonished Caliph.
00:07:23The Caliph was delighted and offered fabulous sums to the sorcerer, but he would not sell
00:07:29the horse for any price.
00:07:31I will not part with this horse for mere gold.
00:07:41So, choose among my treasures, suggested the Caliph.
00:07:50May I take what I most desire?
00:07:54I swear it by the beard of the Prophet.
00:08:11Like lightning, the sorcerer dashed towards the sedan from which the Princess Dinezard
00:08:17had watched the performance, took her by the hand and forced her to follow him.
00:08:39All the people present were terrified, most of all the poor princess who was disgusted
00:08:44by his ugly appearance.
00:08:46The Caliph was helpless, for he could not break his solemn oath.
00:08:50But then, the young Prince Ahmed, his son, interfered.
00:08:55It was unbearable for Ahmed to see his sister in this unworthy situation.
00:09:01He demanded to test the horse.
00:09:05Eagerly, the sorcerer agreed.
00:09:22The sorcerer invited the prince to mount the horse and explained how pushing a lever on
00:09:29its head would make it rise into the sky.
00:09:37Prince Ahmed was young and brave and eager for adventure.
00:09:40He seized the lever and the horse soared into the air, higher and higher.
00:09:45Soon he got out of the sight of the frightened crowd.
00:10:00End of Act 1.
00:10:02Act 2.
00:10:05The story of Prince Ahmed.
00:10:30How can one bring the horse back down to earth?
00:10:37The lever at the head drives it into the air.
00:10:44And the lever at the tail brings it to earth.
00:10:48Does the prince know this? asked the scared Caliph.
00:10:52He did not ask me, the sorcerer replied scornfully.
00:10:57The Caliph was shocked and had him put in irons and thrown into prison.
00:11:01But the prince had vanished.
00:11:05And now it is my turn.
00:11:11I will riddle your mind
00:11:15Meanwhile, the magic horse carried the prince high above the clouds through tempests and
00:11:41thunderstorms.
00:11:42First, the prince was pleased with this rare adventure, but he became anxious when he moved
00:11:50the lever backward and forward, believing this would bring the horse down, and it only
00:11:56accelerated its speed and carried him into the starry night.
00:12:13He groped along the wooden back and discovered another lever near its tail, which yielded
00:12:18to his touch, and at once the horse lowered itself towards the earth.
00:12:24The prince heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered the earth again beneath him, but
00:12:29he was far away from his home.
00:12:33Under him, east of the sun and west of the moon, lay the magic islands of Wakwak.
00:12:40On one of these islands, he perceived a graceful little pleasure seat and guided his horse
00:12:45down onto its roof.
00:12:50The prince was young and brave and eager for adventure.
00:13:09He entered and came into a chamber where he found many charming girls lying sound asleep.
00:13:18They woke up when he approached and greeted the beautiful stranger joyfully, offering
00:13:23him delicious refreshments.
00:13:34Who are you, maidens?
00:13:37We serve the princess Perebanu, ruler of the spirit world of Wakwak.
00:13:50Stay with us, handsome stranger.
00:14:20Stay with us, handsome stranger.
00:14:50Stay with us, handsome stranger.
00:14:54Stay with us, handsome stranger.
00:15:16But when the beauties started to quarrel with each other for the favor of the handsome visitor
00:15:21and even came to blows, he took to his heels and speedily flew away on his horse.
00:15:33And the maidens stretched their longing arms after him, but in vain.
00:15:39On the neighboring island, he saw a beautiful lake surrounded with silent palm trees.
00:15:51He softly let his horse glide down there and walked along under the palm trees,
00:15:57enchanted by the charm of the scenery.
00:16:01Every night, the exquisite Perebanu and her attendants bathed here.
00:16:13Down came wonderful birds, alighting on the border of the lake.
00:16:21He hid himself among the bushes and watched how the birds flew.
00:16:31Now these birds discarded their feathery garments and saw that they were lovely maidens.
00:16:49Then, an even more wonderful bird hovered down, greeted by the others with deep reverence.
00:16:57Out of this feather dress emerged the most enchanting beauty Achmed had ever seen.
00:17:03It was the princess Perebanu, the ruler of the islands of Wakwak,
00:17:07who was wont to come here every night to bathe in the magic lake with her companions.
00:17:13At the sight of her, Achmed's heart trembled,
00:17:17and he was inflamed with violent love for this bewitching queen.
00:17:25He took her feather dress and concealed it between the bushes.
00:17:32When the maidens returned from their bathing pleasures,
00:17:36they noticed with dismay the loss of their queen's feather dress.
00:17:44The queen's feather dress was gone,
00:17:48and Achmed's heart trembled with fear.
00:17:52When the maidens returned from their bathing pleasures,
00:17:56they noticed with dismay the loss of their queen's feather dress.
00:18:04Achmed stepped forward and the girls hastily slipped back into their disguise and flew away.
00:18:10Only Perebanu could not do so.
00:18:22Give me back my cloak of feathers, implored Perebanu.
00:18:28Come with me to my beautiful homeland, entreated the prince.
00:18:52Afraid, she escaped away from him through the palmwood until her strength failed her,
00:18:58and she fell down in a dead faint.
00:19:04The prince lifted her up very tenderly,
00:19:08wrapped her in his cloak, put her upon his horse,
00:19:12and again mounted into the air.
00:19:16Thus, Perebanu was kidnapped from the lands of the demons of Wak-Wak.
00:19:28After they had escaped from the lands of the demons of Wak-Wak,
00:19:32the princess and her husband, Achmed,
00:19:36set out for the lands of the demons of Wak-Wak.
00:19:40After they had traveled many leagues,
00:19:44they found themselves above distant China.
00:19:52They alighted in a beautiful valley.
00:20:00The prince made a bed for his precious burden under a shadowy tree.
00:20:04Perebanu regained consciousness,
00:20:08and Achmed spoke to her softly and tenderly.
00:20:20Do not be afraid of me, O beautiful one.
00:20:24Do not be afraid of me, O beautiful one.
00:20:36I will be your servant until I die.
00:20:40But she trembled with fear and warned him.
00:20:44You do not know the power of the demons of Wak-Wak.
00:20:48They will kill you.
00:20:58Allah's mercy will protect us if you will become my wife,
00:21:02replied the prince.
00:21:06But Perebanu began to weep.
00:21:10Meanwhile, the wicked sorcerer sat in his prison,
00:21:15laden with chains and searched for the whereabouts of his magic horse.
00:21:35With the strength of his magic,
00:21:39he discovered where it was.
00:21:45And in a flash, he got rid of his fetters,
00:21:49transformed himself into a bat,
00:21:59and flew away through the barred window of his dungeon.
00:22:03In vain, Prince Achmed tried to persuade his beloved.
00:22:07We will find our home, and you will forget all about Wak-Wak.
00:22:33He could not bear to see her so distressed,
00:22:37and with a heavy heart, he handed her back her bird garment.
00:22:45Gladly, she received it.
00:22:49But when she saw how intensely he suffered
00:22:53and how young and beautiful he was,
00:22:57her heart was overcome with love.
00:23:03I will follow you.
00:23:19Overcome with happiness, he threw himself at her feet.
00:23:23The sorcerer approached them in the shape of a kangaroo.
00:23:31Taking advantage of the lover's carelessness,
00:23:35he stole the feather dress.
00:23:43Achmed pursued him.
00:23:47The sorcerer tricked the prince
00:23:51into falling into a deep gorge
00:24:01with rocks so steep
00:24:05that Achmed could not climb up.
00:24:09The sorcerer returned to Peribanu,
00:24:13having changed his appearance again
00:24:17into a Chinese sword.
00:24:21Peribanu was the first to see him,
00:24:25and he was delighted to see him again.
00:24:29Peribanu was the first to see him,
00:24:33and he was delighted to see him again.
00:24:37Peribanu turned again into a Chinese servant.
00:24:41He approached her with all reverence,
00:24:45carrying a precious chest.
00:24:49The prince sends you this garment, he lied.
00:24:55Peribanu found a silken Chinese dress in his chest
00:24:59and donned it with pleasure.
00:25:04Achmed attacked the poor prince in the gorge.
00:25:12He fought with it courageously
00:25:16and finally overpowered it.
00:25:28The prince bids me lead you to him.
00:25:34The body of the slain snake enabled Achmed to climb out of the gorge
00:25:38and he hastened back, taking the bird dress with him.
00:25:58Prince Achmed was too late.
00:26:02The place under the tree was empty,
00:26:06the magic horse and Peribanu had vanished.
00:26:10He threw himself to the ground in bleak despair.
00:26:14End of Act Two
00:26:18Act Three
00:26:22Adventures in China
00:26:26At that time there ruled a cheerful emperor in China
00:26:30whose favorite pastime it was to listen to the melodies
00:26:34which his jester played for him on chimes.
00:26:38The Emperor of China
00:26:42Emperor of China
00:26:48The Emperor's Jester
00:26:58To this court, the sorcerer brought Peribanu
00:27:02to sell her to the emperor.
00:27:12Peribanu
00:27:17Ambition
00:27:21Petrification
00:27:25Sh Cleric
00:27:29A Clockwork Devil
00:27:33The Clockmaker
00:27:37The Sorcerer
00:27:41♪♪
00:27:51♪♪
00:28:01♪♪
00:28:11♪♪
00:28:21♪♪
00:28:31♪♪
00:28:41♪♪
00:28:51♪♪
00:29:01♪♪
00:29:11♪♪
00:29:21♪♪
00:29:31♪♪
00:29:41♪♪
00:29:51The sorcerer brought Achmed to the Fiery Mountains, changed the Afritz into a heavy piece of rock, which he placed on the breast of the poor prince, and said to him with derisive laughter,
00:30:06And now, my brave prince, I will return to your fair sister.
00:30:15You won't be able to hinder me anymore.
00:30:21And thus he flew away, leaving the desolate Achmed almost dead with exhaustion.
00:30:31In this mountain dwelt the sorcerer's greatest enemy, the Fire Mountain Witch.
00:30:36She was dreadful to look at, and dwelled there among her slaves, a gang of fantastic monsters scorched by the red heat of the flames which flared around them.
00:30:46She noticed that on top of one of her volcanoes something unusual was happening, and sent her slaves to find out the reason.
00:31:16♪♪
00:31:26♪♪
00:31:33They brought the lifeless Achmed down to her.
00:31:37The witch was very impressed by his looks and brought him back to life.
00:31:43How dare you come to my magic mountain!
00:31:48The African sorcerer brought me here.
00:31:51♪♪
00:32:09He is my greatest enemy!
00:32:14And we are friends!
00:32:22The Bridegroom
00:32:24♪♪
00:32:36Achmed implored the witch to take him to the Isles of Wakwak to liberate his beloved Peribanu, for he believed that the demons had brought her there.
00:32:47Help me free Peribanu!
00:32:50♪♪
00:33:00I fear no spirits!
00:33:03Employing all the skill of her magic art, she conjured up, out of the glowing fire, magic weapons!
00:33:14♪♪
00:33:22With these weapons, you can conquer the spirits!
00:33:27♪♪
00:33:33The Bride
00:33:35♪♪
00:33:57They hurried out to go to Wakwak.
00:34:00The magic armor enabled Achmed to walk through the air at the witch's side.
00:34:06♪♪
00:34:13On their way, the witch observed that under them, in the town of the Chinese Emperor, a big wedding was being celebrated.
00:34:23♪♪
00:34:36The Bride
00:35:07It's Peribanu down there!
00:35:10♪♪
00:35:24We must stop the wedding!
00:35:27♪♪
00:35:41♪♪
00:35:56♪♪
00:36:21The witch succeeded in disturbing the wedding.
00:36:25♪♪
00:36:45Happily, the lovers sank into each other's arms.
00:36:50♪♪
00:37:05♪♪
00:37:33Then a new misfortune befell them.
00:37:36The dreaded demons of Wakwak were on their way to search for their mistress.
00:37:43♪♪
00:38:04Achmed struggled against them gallantly, but in the turmoil of the fight, the demons managed to carry off Peribanu.
00:38:12♪♪
00:38:16Achmed overcame one of the demons.
00:38:19♪♪
00:38:30Take me to Wakwak!
00:38:32♪♪
00:38:51But they arrived too late.
00:38:53♪♪
00:38:58The gates of Wakwak had closed.
00:39:01A flaming writing appeared to Achmed.
00:39:05The gates of Wakwak...
00:39:09♪♪
00:39:12Open only to the one...
00:39:16♪♪
00:39:19Who...
00:39:21♪♪
00:39:24The...
00:39:26♪♪
00:39:32Magic lamp of Aladdin...
00:39:35♪♪
00:39:42Possesses.
00:39:44♪♪
00:39:56End of Act Three.
00:39:59Act Four.
00:40:01Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
00:40:04♪♪
00:40:10Helplessly, Achmed looked around him in the desolate wilderness.
00:40:15There, he beheld a gigantic monster about to devour a man.
00:40:20♪♪
00:40:24He seized his bow and arrow, shot and killed the monster and hurried down to assist the victim.
00:40:30♪♪
00:40:42The stranger was a handsome young man who fell at his feet and thanked him.
00:40:47♪♪
00:40:51I am Aladdin.
00:40:53♪♪
00:40:58Where is the magic lamp? The prince asked eagerly.
00:41:01♪♪
00:41:04Do you not have it?
00:41:06The young man lowered his head and confessed with shame that the lamp had vanished
00:41:11and begged the disappointed Achmed to listen to his story.
00:41:16♪♪
00:41:18I will tell you.
00:41:20♪♪
00:41:25I was a poor tailor in the city of the Caliph.
00:41:29♪♪
00:41:33One day, I was visited by a mysterious stranger.
00:41:38♪♪
00:41:54Aladdin told the prince how this stranger had a peculiar power over him.
00:42:00♪♪
00:42:02He had shown him the Caliph's palace in all its splendor
00:42:06and finally, in the palace gardens, the Caliph's beautiful daughter, Indinazad.
00:42:13♪♪
00:42:25Behold Indinazad, daughter of the Caliph.
00:42:29♪♪
00:42:35You shall have her once you do something for me.
00:42:39♪♪
00:42:42Overjoyed, Aladdin accepted.
00:42:46He led me to a high mountain.
00:42:49♪♪
00:42:57He told me this well would let me into a magic cave where would be burning...
00:43:04♪♪
00:43:09The magic lamp.
00:43:12Fetch the lamp.
00:43:15♪♪
00:43:22Willingly, Aladdin descended.
00:43:25♪♪
00:43:35♪♪
00:43:45♪♪
00:43:51♪♪
00:43:57♪♪
00:44:04He found the lamp which was radiating a magic light.
00:44:10♪♪
00:44:20♪♪
00:44:30♪♪
00:44:40♪♪
00:44:50♪♪
00:44:55The stranger stretched out his arms greedily towards Aladdin.
00:44:59Give me the lamp.
00:45:01♪♪
00:45:07First let me out.
00:45:09The stranger became mad with fury and pushed him back into the well.
00:45:17He then pulled up the rope ladder.
00:45:20♪♪
00:45:27So die. I have other ways to get the lamp.
00:45:32♪♪
00:45:38I languished long in the dark cave until I succeeded in lighting the lamp.
00:45:45♪♪
00:45:55♪♪
00:46:03What is your command, oh master?
00:46:06♪♪
00:46:14I am your servant. I and all the spirits of the lamp.
00:46:20♪♪
00:46:25Take me home.
00:46:27♪♪
00:46:37♪♪
00:46:47♪♪
00:47:00Now I knew I could win the Princess Dinazard.
00:47:03♪♪
00:47:10The servants of the lamp brought priceless treasures to her.
00:47:14♪♪
00:47:22In a single night, I built her a splendid palace.
00:47:26♪♪
00:47:36♪♪
00:47:46♪♪
00:47:56♪♪
00:48:01In the morning, the astounded Caliph visited the enchanted building.
00:48:06♪♪
00:48:16♪♪
00:48:26♪♪
00:48:36♪♪
00:48:46♪♪
00:48:56♪♪
00:49:06♪♪
00:49:13So she became my wife.
00:49:15♪♪
00:49:18The Caliph is my father. Dinazard, my sister.
00:49:23♪♪
00:49:25Tell me what happened after.
00:49:27♪♪
00:49:29One day, everything vanished. The palace, Dinazard and the lamp.
00:49:34♪♪
00:49:48The Caliph condemned me to death.
00:49:50♪♪
00:49:58The executioner had lifted his axe when I succeeded in escaping.
00:50:02♪♪
00:50:06I fled before the fury of the Caliph.
00:50:09♪♪
00:50:23I set out to sea.
00:50:25♪♪
00:50:32A fearful storm broke.
00:50:35♪♪
00:50:56My boat was dashed into pieces.
00:50:59♪♪
00:51:05The wild waves threw me onto the cliffs.
00:51:08♪♪
00:51:13As I wandered among the rocks, I saw a big tree full of luscious fruit.
00:51:22While I slowly gathered some, the tree began to move.
00:51:28I saw with horror that the tree threw off its leaves and became a giant monster,
00:51:36which seized me with fury.
00:51:39♪♪
00:51:45And so you found me.
00:51:49♪♪
00:51:53Do you know who did this to you?
00:51:55♪♪
00:51:58The African sorcerer.
00:52:00♪♪
00:52:03He coveted Dinozard and also plunged me into misfortune,
00:52:08for I hindered him from obtaining her.
00:52:11Here, they were interrupted.
00:52:13The witch flew down to them in great excitement.
00:52:15She had searched for Achmed everywhere.
00:52:20Hurry, Achmed, and free Peribanu!
00:52:23♪♪
00:52:28The spirits want to kill her because she left to follow you.
00:52:33♪♪
00:52:36Achmed was in despair.
00:52:38How could they enter Wakwak without the aid of the magic lamp?
00:52:41The sorcerer has stolen the magic lamp.
00:52:44♪♪
00:52:48Only the lamp can open the gates of Wakwak.
00:52:52♪♪
00:52:57Kill the sorcerer and the lamp is yours.
00:53:01♪♪
00:53:04Kill him.
00:53:07Kill him.
00:53:09♪♪
00:53:15I will try.
00:53:17♪♪
00:53:24♪♪
00:53:28With all her powers, she forced the sorcerer to appear.
00:53:35♪♪
00:53:40♪♪
00:53:45♪♪
00:53:50♪♪
00:53:58And now, a terrible magic fight began between them.
00:54:04♪♪
00:54:11♪♪
00:54:18♪♪
00:54:25♪♪
00:54:31When one side could conquer the other, they turned into fish.
00:54:38And they fought in the water.
00:54:43But even there, no one was victorious.
00:54:48♪♪
00:54:53Then they regained their own shapes and threw flames at each other.
00:54:58♪♪
00:55:05♪♪
00:55:09Wilder and wilder.
00:55:13♪♪
00:55:16Until the Witch of the Fiery Mountains won
00:55:20and the sorcerer fell down dead.
00:55:26Achmed and Aladdin breathed again and the witch stepped towards them,
00:55:30the beaming lamp in her victorious hand.
00:55:33♪♪
00:55:41Your enemy is dead.
00:55:45♪♪
00:55:56End of Act Four.
00:55:58Act Five.
00:56:01The Spirit Battle of Wakwak.
00:56:06The spirits rose up against their faithless mistress.
00:56:11♪♪
00:56:18♪♪
00:56:25♪♪
00:56:32They were determined to kill her
00:56:35when the rays of the wonderful lamp penetrated into the realms of Wakwak.
00:56:42♪♪
00:56:48Prince Achmed stands before the gates.
00:56:52♪♪
00:57:01Bring out Peribanu.
00:57:04♪♪
00:57:20Summon the spirits of the lamp, Aladdin.
00:57:23♪♪
00:57:33♪♪
00:57:38But the spirits of darkness poured from the rocks and attacked Achmed.
00:57:43♪♪
00:57:53♪♪
00:58:04Aladdin was overwhelmed.
00:58:08He tried to frighten the spirits away with the rays of his lamp.
00:58:13♪♪
00:58:19Oh, no! The lamp!
00:58:22♪♪
00:58:31Achmed rescued Aladdin, but their situation was desperate.
00:58:36♪♪
00:58:46The witch intervened.
00:58:49♪♪
00:59:01She regained possession of the lamp.
00:59:04♪♪
00:59:08Now legions of benevolent spirits streamed out of the magic lamp.
00:59:14♪♪
00:59:35So numerous were they that the demons could hardly cope with them.
00:59:39♪♪
01:00:06But the most fearsome demon seized Peribanu.
01:00:36♪♪
01:00:46Bravely, Achmed followed the demon and fought him bitterly.
01:00:51He cut off his many heads, one after the other,
01:00:57but new ones grew again and again.
01:01:01The witch hurried to the rescue and stopped the danger with the rays of the lamp.
01:01:07♪♪
01:01:24So Peribanu was saved.
01:01:27♪♪
01:01:39Behold the palace!
01:01:42♪♪
01:01:46Aladdin's marvellous palace hovered down before them.
01:01:50♪♪
01:01:56Return and seek happiness in the land of the mortals.
01:02:02The fortunate lovers now thanked the witch reverently and took their leave of her.
01:02:08♪♪
01:02:14They went into the palace where Aladdin hoped to find his dinosaur.
01:02:19♪♪
01:02:26The demons fled back to their caves.
01:02:29The witch called the spirits back into the lamp.
01:02:33♪♪
01:02:40The palace rose to bring them back into the land of the mortals.
01:02:45♪♪
01:02:58Dinozard must be in the palace.
01:03:01♪♪
01:03:14Aladdin found his beloved Dinozard whom he embraced with tears of joy.
01:03:20♪♪
01:03:32The towers of the Caliph's city soon appeared before them.
01:03:36♪♪
01:03:52Aladdin's palace has returned.
01:03:55♪♪
01:04:10♪♪
01:04:25♪♪
01:04:35♪♪
01:04:45The Caliph was so overwhelmed with joy to see his beloved children
01:04:51and Ahmed's beautiful bride that he pardoned Aladdin
01:04:56and embraced them all with tender love.
01:05:01Meanwhile, the call to morning prayer sounded from the minarets.
01:05:06♪♪
01:05:30The end.
