If you're familiar with the story of Aladdin at all, it actually comes from an Islamic/Arabian myth/story. Just like there are many "Cinderella" stories or "The boy who cried wolf" stories, there are many "Aladdin" stories. It's not a ripoff off another. It' the way stories have traveled and worked for like...ever. If anyone wants to call this a ripoff and terrible version of Aladdin, then people can call Aladdin a ripoff or terrible version of an actual Arabian story -_-

ugh what happened to this film was criminal, just criminal!

Now THIS trailer is the one I remember from my old VHS tapes.

This movie should have been done Richard Williams way

I don't think I have it in my heart to watch this movie still after all these years. Mainly because I am scared of how the characters look.

'The thief and the cobbler' and 'Alladin' are 2 different stories in the book of tales 'Arabian Nights'.

this movie was in development way before Aladdin was.

@immblueversion Yeah, it may be a kind of Kimba/Simba thing. Stating that anything done by Disney is a one sided ripoff is out of place since all animated movies owe a great deal to Disney anyway.

[immblueversion]

@jerryjm2 Well, Richard Williams sure didn't make it a ripoff. Miramax actually turned it into one anyway, though.

[immblueversion]

@k3lp00 Actually, the movies ended up ripping each other off; at least, the Miramax version (this one) and Aladdin. While The Thief and the Cobbler was in production, Aladdin drew inspiration from this film. When Aladdin was released, Miramax decided to shoehorn musical numbers into this film.

I think the Nostalgia Critic gives a better explanation.

Dude.. Great Movie...but it creeps me the heck out...i have no idea why

[k3lp00]

This cannot be an Alladin ripoff since it was in production long before Alladin. If anything it's the other way around.
