==Adaptations== Adaptations vary in their faithfulness to the original story. In particular, difficulties with the Chinese setting are quite often resolved by giving the story a more typical ''Arabian Nights'' background. ===Books=== * One of the many literary retellings of the tale appears in ''A Book of Wizards'' (1966) and ''[[A Choice of Magic]]'' (1971), by [[Ruth Manning-Sanders]]. Another is the early Penguin version for children, ''Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp'', illustrated by John Harwood with many Chinese details; the translator or re-teller is not acknowledged. This was a "Porpoise" imprint printed in 1947 and released in 1948. * ''Aladdin: Master of the Lamp'' (1992), edited by [[Mike Resnick]] and [[Martin H. Greenberg]], is an anthology containing 43 original short stories inspired by the tale. * "The Nobility of Faith" by [[Jonathan Clements]], in the anthology ''[[Doctor Who]] Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas'' (2007), is a retelling of the Aladdin story in the style of the Arabian Nights, but featuring [[The Doctor (Doctor Who)|the Doctor]] in the role of the genie. ===Comics=== ====Western comics==== * In 1962, the Italian branch of [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]] published the story ''Paperino e la grotta di Aladino'' (''Donald and Aladdin's Cave''), written by Osvaldo Pavese and drawn by [[Pier Lorenzo De Vita]]. As in many [[pantomime]]s, the plot is combined with elements of the [[Ali Baba]] story: [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]] leads [[Donald Duck]] and their [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|nephews]] on an expedition to find the treasure of Aladdin and they encounter the Middle Eastern counterparts of the [[Beagle Boys]]. Scrooge describes Aladdin as a [[outlaw|brigand]] who used the legend of the lamp to cover the origins of his ill-gotten gains. They find the cave holding the treasure—blocked by a huge rock requiring a magic password ("open sesame") to open.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++344-AP |title=Profile of ''Paperino e la grotta di Aladino'' |access-date=2007-07-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929124239/http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++344-AP |archive-date=2007-09-29 |url-status=live }}</ref> * The original version of the comic book character [[Green Lantern#Golden Age Green Lantern|Green Lantern]] was partly inspired by the Aladdin myth; the protagonist discovers a "lantern-shaped power source and a 'power ring{{' "}} which gives him the power to create and control matter.<ref>Adam Robert, ''The History of Science Fiction'', Palgrave Histories of Literature, {{isbn|978-1-137-56959-2}}, 2016, p. 224</ref> ** In the ''[[Elseworlds]]'' series, there was even a story that combined the Green Lantern mythos with that of Aladdin called ''[[Green Lantern: 1001 Emerald Nights]]''. ====Manga==== * The Japanese [[manga]] series ''[[Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic]]'' is not a direct adaptation, but features Aladdin as the main character of the story and includes many characters from other ''One Thousand and One Nights'' stories. An adaptation of this comic to an [[anime]] television series was made in October 2012 in which Aladdin is voiced by [[Kaori Ishihara]] in Japanese and [[Erica Mendez]] in English. ===Pantomimes=== [[File:He's behind you.jpg|thumb|120px|right| An 1886 theatre poster advertising a production of the pantomime Aladdin]] * In the [[United Kingdom]], the story of Aladdin was dramatised in 1788 by [[John O'Keeffe (writer)|John O'Keefe]] for the [[The Royal Opera|Theatre Royal, Covent Garden]].<ref name="Witchard1">Witchard (2017)</ref> It has been a popular subject for [[pantomime]] for over 200 years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.its-behind-you.com/aladdin.html |title=Aladdin |website=www.its-behind-you.com |access-date=2008-01-22 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080205031442/http://www.its-behind-you.com/aladdin.html| archive-date= 5 February 2008 <!--DASHBot-->| url-status=live}}</ref> * The traditional Aladdin pantomime is the source of the well-known pantomime character [[Widow Twankey]] (Aladdin's mother). In pantomime versions, changes in the setting and story are often made to fit it better into "China" (albeit a China situated in the [[East End of London]] rather than medieval [[Baghdad]]), and elements of other Arabian Nights tales (in particular [[Ali Baba]]) are often introduced into the plot. One version of the "pantomime Aladdin" is [[Sandy Wilson]]'s [[musical theatre|musical]] ''[[Aladdin (1979 musical)|Aladdin]]'', from 1979. * Since the early 1990s, Aladdin pantomimes have tended to be influenced by [[Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|the Disney animation]]. For instance, the 2007/8 production at the [[Birmingham Hippodrome]] starring [[John Barrowman]] featured songs from the Disney movies ''Aladdin'' and ''[[Mulan (1998 film)|Mulan]]''. === Other musical theatre === [[File:Victoria Disraeli cartoon.jpg|thumb|right|180px|''New Crowns for Old'', a 19th-century British cartoon based on the Aladdin story ([[Benjamin Disraeli|Disraeli]] as Abanazer from the [[pantomime]] version of Aladdin offering [[Queen Victoria]] an Imperial crown (of India) in exchange for a Royal one)]] * ''[[The New Aladdin]]'' was a successful [[Edwardian musical comedy]] in 1906. *[[Adam Oehlenschläger]] wrote [[Aladdin (play)|his verse drama ''Aladdin'']] in 1805.

In this version the princess Aladdin pursues is Achmed's sister and the sorcerer is his rival for her hand. The sorcerer steals the castle and the princess through his own magic and then sets a monster to attack Aladdin, from which Achmed rescues him. Achmed then informs Aladdin he requires the lamp to rescue his own intended wife, Princess Pari Banou, from the demons of the Island of Wak Wak. They convince the Witch of the Fiery Mountain to defeat the sorcerer, and then all three heroes join forces to battle the demons. * ''[[A Thousand and One Nights (1969 film)|A Thousand and One Nights]]'' is a 1969 [[Japan]]ese [[adult animation|adult]] [[anime]] [[feature film]] directed by [[Eiichi Yamamoto]], conceived by [[Osamu Tezuka]].
