Princess' hand.
- I've already done so.
Cut off his head anyway...
Strike the blow!
What's the matter with you?
Catch him, dead or alive!
Mother!
I held the hand of the Sultan's
daughter, Boudour!
You must ask the Sultan
for his daughter's hand.
And yesterday he said
he was flying on dragons.
Is this not the dwelling of
the Chosen One
and the King of Luck, Aladdin?
Aladdin is my son.
Here are presents for you
from your uncle!
I didn't know my husband
was blessed with a brother.
Is this not the house of Aladdin,
son of Ali Al Marouf?
- From my uncle?
- Your uncle.
They must have made a mistake.
They'll come and take it all back.
Where is my brother?
Where's my brother, Ali Al Marouf?
Ali Al Marouf has been dead
for three years.
I was his best friend.
Oh, my miserable brother!
Oh, how cruel and bitter my fate!
Forty years have I wandered
over the earth!
I dreamed of coming back
and embracing my brother!
But my Ali didn't have any brother.
Believing me dead he couldn't
bear to mention my name.
Where is the place the deceased
loved most?
- Where's my nephew Aladdin?
- There!
My cherished nephew, tell me
your innermost desire.
I shall grant it.
He will ask you for a star
from the heavens.
He has just wanted me to ask
for Princess Boudour's hand!
- Could he be possessed by genies?
- I will cure him.
Leave us now!
For 40 years I have studied
alchemy and black magic
with the wisest men of all Maghrib.
Forty years have I dedicated
to the preparation of magic powders
that'd open the gates of dungeons
and reveal the darkest secrets.
Put your trust in me.
I will help you.
- Where are we going, Uncle?
- To an enchanted city.
Why?
You alone will penetrate a place
from which no one's ever returned.
There you'll find an old
bronze lamp. Repeat it!
An old bronze lamp...
You will bring it to me and
all your wishes will be granted.
Go now!
The entrance is there!
You'll get in the shadow of
the city and in the city of shadows.
Go! Fear not!
Who is there?
- Who is there?
- Who is there?
Who is there?
Who sneezed? Show yourself!
Why have you come here?
I came to find the lamp!
Amazing!
Incredible!
He said the truth!
I must have the lamp
and I've just told you so.
- What shall we do?
- I don't know.
Hey! Where are you?
Where are you hiding?
Silence!
You're disturbing our meditation!
Take the lamp.
It is yours.
Where will I find it?
This way.
This way!
This way!
Is this it?
- What are you doing, Uncle?
- Uncle?!
Aladdin! Where are you?
Come back at once!
Aladdin, I was only joking!
Aladdin!
I hear and obey!
Who are you?
I'm this lamp's slave.
I'm at your command!
- Are you a Genie?
- Yes.
Why did my uncle want to kill me?
He is not your uncle.
He's an evil Maghribian sorcerer.
We Genies have long known him.
I'm yours to command!
To do what?
What you will. Strangle him?
Drown him? Reduce him to dust?
No! No! Let him go
to all four corners of the earth.
To all four corners of the earth?
I hear and obey!
I don't want to! We don't want to!
The blessings of Allah be upon you!
Wake up!
It's time to bake cakes.
Allah has granted us
another fine day.
I wish I had a skewer of
shish kebab!
- I didn't know you were a joker!
- You play little jokes, too.
Who started the fire?
I didn't know
you could make cakes.
I'm eighty five, but never
have I made a single cake.
- Have a cake!
- Genies never eat cakes.
- What do Genies eat, then?
- Nothing at all.
I'd like you to meet
my friend the Genie.
I'd rather stay in the lamp.
I knew that all that reading
would end up badly.
Remember, I haven't seen anything.
I'll even say more:
You haven't seen anything either.
Neither of us have seen anything.
Do you know why I have lived
to be 85?
Because all life I've been saying:
"All is quiet in Bagdad!"
To live to be 100 years old,
you must learn to be virtuous.
The basis for all good is
in holding the spirit in check,
