1001 Nights

FantasyComedyAdventure

Sheherazade has been married to a ruler who wants many wives, but only one at a time. Consequently, as soon as he has bedded them, he has them put to death. In most retellings, the girl staves off this unfortunate conclusion by putting off the connubial event for a thousand and one nights, telling irresistible stories instead. In this one, she gets hold of a magic lamp. From TMDB

    This is the 2nd of those films, and is the weakest of the trilogy. It lacks the ambition and coherence of 1001 Nights and the style and thematic depth of Belladonna. Tezuka finally got to direct a film...only to bungle it badly in the name of ego. renaissancejosei.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-...

    Took a bit of digging to find these, but enjoy. A couple pictures I took from back when I saw VHD:Bloodlust and Yoshitaka Amano in New York. (As well as 1001 Nights and another movie I don't recall) I was also wrong, it was 2000. :x Forgive me I'm old.

    The Lord of the Rings 1978: It's not the Jackson Trilogy but it was ambitious and with genuine affection. Bit 2019: A young Trans woman is turned into a vampire and dramatic events ensue. The Mask of Zorro: Best Zorro film ever! Arabian Nights 2000: Underrated adaptation of the 1001 Nights.

    I'd have to go searching, I don't have any bookmarked or anything, but if I recall correctly the 1969 film 1001 Nights had a pink lioness with a pair of very boob-like fur tufts who was waving her ass at the viewer. And I think the booklet of the posthumous sketches had erotic human-to-quadruped TF?

    82) 1001 Nights Amano's style is always cool, mostly a really pretty short film, the CG was kinda weak however compared to other 90s works in how it blends with the rest of the art, the score is quite intense and fitting for the fever dream story, overall, a unique piece of experimental art 6/10

    Directed by German animator Lotte Reiniger, the film uses animated silhouettes, like free-moving shadow puppets, to tell a story inspired by The 1001 Nights. Vibrant tints, full orchestral score. More than a decade prior to Snow White. 2/2

    Rewatched 1001 Nights with some friends tonight who hadn't seen it yet. Such a fun and wacky film. Also really dig Aldin's theme.

    Lotte Reiniger created the first ever, surviving, feature-length animation film, The Adventures of Prince Achmed in 1926. The film drew on the 1001 Nights stories and pre-dates by more than 10 years Walt Disney's Snow White which was released in 1937.

    Has anyone heard about a movie made about Sharkan from 1001 Nights? Ali Baba and Sinbad got their movies, but where is the epic adventure through love and war about Sharkan?
