Aladdin

In Old Peking young Aladdin lives a simple life working away at Widow Twankey's laundry along with his brother Wishee Washee. One day he dares to break the law and catch a glimpse of the breathtakingly beautiful Princess and must now avoid the Chinese Policemen who have been tasked with bringing him to justice. To make things worse, Aladdin is also besotted with the Princess.

The Emperor will never allow his daughter to marry a penniless laundry boy and it seems that Aladdin will be unhappy forever. Suddenly, a solution presents itself in the form of a dodgy old wizard who tells Aladdin about a powerful genie who can grant him three wishes. All he has to do is find the magic lamp and bring it to him. However the wizard is not to be trusted and Aladdin's quest to win the heart of the Princess becomes a breath-taking adventure to save the entire kingdom.
