Based on a story in Antoine Galland's version of The One Thousand and One Nights (Galland reportedly heard this story from a Syrian man). The film reportedly also borrows from The Princess and the Cobbler (1993) (whose unfinished version was available since the 60's) and The Thief of Bagdad (1940).
A street boy falls in love with a princess. The evil visier uses the boy to get a hold of a magical lamp which contains a genie who has the power to grant three wishes to the lamp's owner.
Animation which succeeds at entertaining within a strictly conventional framework.
