Time passes, and, just before the three months are up, Aladin's mother hears from a town crier that Soraya is to be wed to Hussein that day. Aladin's mother returns home and tells Aladin about the deal, which sends the boy into a deep depression over not being able to see his love ( Ich schau auf einen Suppentopf). Upon realising that the Sultan is wavering, the Vizier proposes a deal: he'll give three months for his son to find treasures of an equivalent worth, and if he can't, Soraya can marry Aladin. The Sultan is initially furious until he sees the treasures, while his advisor, the Grand Vizier, reminds him that Soraya is to be wed to his son Hussein. When his mother confronts him about this, Aladin tells her to go to the Sultan's palace so he can ask for Soraya's hand in marriage, giving her some of the treasures he'd picked up from the cave as potential payment.Īladin's mother travels to the palace and informs the Sultan of her son's intentions. It's love at first sight for Aladin, and he returns home totally infatuated. Although seeing that the princess is punishable by death, he decides to test his luck and spy on her while she's in there, while she mopes about how she never gets to do what she wants ( Ich bin des Sultans Tochter). While at the marketplace the next day, Aladin overhears that the Sultan's daughter, Soraya, is to head to the bathhouse. After wishing for some food, Aladin realises the power that he now has and promises his mother that he'll limit his use of the Genies. Aladin rubs it a bit to clean it up and discovers another Genie, whose power exceeds even that of the Ring Genie's. Aladin wishes to be out of the cave and is teleported back to the Sultan's gardens.Īfter running back home, Aladin's mother notices that he has brought the lamp the wizard wanted back with him and advises that he sell it. All seems lost for Aladin, until he rubs the jewel located on the ring he had been given and the Ring Genie emerges, who claims that he can grant wishes. It's only when he tries to exit that the man reveals himself to be a wizard, unrelated to Aladin or his father, who attempts to trap the boy inside the cave to die. It is here that Aladin learns that only he can enter inside the cave and retrieve one of the world's most important treasures, with the old man giving him a magic ring to help protect him.Īladin enters the cave and is informed that he can take as much treasure as he wants, as long as he retrieves a lamp that the old man wants for himself. While there, the man tells Aladin to build a campfire, and, with a few magic words, they are teleported to the entrance of a cave. The next morning, the man informs Aladin that it's too early for the market to open, so they go and visit the Sultan's gardens. When the man arrives at the house for dinner that night, he offers Aladin the chance to become a merchant, with which both mother and son enthusiastically agree. She soon warms up to the idea, though, and heads to the market to buy some food. He gives Aladin two gold coins so he can have dinner with him and his mother that night.Īladin returns to his home and tells his mother about his apparent uncle, with her initially disbelieving him as her late husband had never mentioned having any brothers. The man reveals that he is looking for Aladin, and claims that he is the boy's uncle who has returned from Africa to see his family one last time. They are then alerted to the presence of a mysterious man who seems to have the power of teleportation. The film opens with a storyteller about to tell a congregation of people the story of Aladin ( Gläubige lasst euch nieder) before transitioning to a scene in a marketplace, where Aladin and his two friends discuss the newest arrivals on a wall. One of the most beautiful stories from 1001 Nights is the fairy tale of Aladdin and the magic lamp. After exactly 1001 nights the Sultan had loved Scheherazade so much that he did not want to live without her. and of course, the sultan wanted to hear it over as well. But Scheherazade always started just before the night was over with a new story. The sultan decided to keep Scheherazade with him one more night so he could hear the end of the story. She told the Sultan a story, making sure that it was really exciting at dawn. He hated people so much that every night he brought a girl to the palace and had her killed the next morning. Imagine, you get told a story and when it gets really exciting, they say "So, that's it for today".
