Miles and Karina were commissioned by the Northwest Film Forum to compose an original score to this film for their Children's Animated Film Festival in 2008. Here is an excerpt of this incredible film with our score.
Clip uploaded with perrmission from Milestone Fims.
ABOUT THE FILM:
When THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED premiered in Germany on September 23, 1926 it was hailed as the first full-length animated film -- made by Lotte Reiniger using the silhouette technique she invented. Eighty-two years later, this enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation -- beautiful, mesmerizing and utterly seductive. Taken from The Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a wicked sorcerer who tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse and sends the rider off on a flight to his death. But the prince foils the magician's plan, and soars headlong into a series of wondrous adventures. Thrilling, sensuous and dazzling, Prince Achmed will enthrall children and film enthusiasts of all ages.

  • amazing

  • It's a good score but..dunno if it fits with the film entirely?

  • This score is like nothing I have ever heard...It feels really fresh, yet classic, at the same time...and exotic. Just like this film. Although the oldest feature length animated film in the world, using some of the most low-tech animation, it remains engaging, bright and full of life. Bottom line: LOVE THIS, highly reccomend full original film also to anyone who hasn't seen, it's one of those hidden gems

  • Just caught this tonight at SIFF. Loved it! What a treat! Thank you.

  • Greetings and congratulations its a very pleasant score. If its not much trouble, could you send me the original film? or tell me where could i download it. Thanks.

  • What a fun score for such a wonderful film!
