The story has a total of 5 acts. Acts 1 to 3 are "The Wizard", "The Story of Prince Archimedes" and "The Adventures of China".
The story in Acts 1~3 mainly tells that Prince Archimedes was dissatisfied with the African wizard who wanted to deceive his sister Princess Dinarsad with a flying horse. He was thrown on a flying horse by the wizard and flew to the magic island. Kvak Island, and hid Queen Pali Banu’s feather coat, successfully won the other’s heart;
but then the wizard abducted and sold the Queen to the Chinese emperor. The Queen did not follow the Chinese emperor, and the Chinese emperor married her. Gave it to his own clown; at the
same time, the prince was thrown by the wizard to the Flaming Mountain. The witch of the Flaming Mountain happened to be the wizard’s mortal enemy, and the enemy’s enemy was a friend. They formed an alliance and saved the queen;
another at the same time, The demons of Wakovac came to look for their queen, and it didn’t take long for the queen to be taken back to the magic island. The
last time he entered the magic island, the prince descended from the sky on a flying horse, but this time he had to pass first. Wacker Wacker's door, and only one person can open this door, the owner of Aladdin's magic lamp.
Act 4 Aladdin and the
prince of the magic lamp rescue Aladdin from an elephant demon on a desert island. After learning that a man in black instigated Aladdin to find the magic lamp, he was thrown into a cave. Aladdin was surprised The magic lamp elves were summoned to build a magnificent palace and won the princess. So the prince and Aladdin accidentally became relatives. Yes, the man in black is the wizard.
The princess, the palace, and the magic lamp were stolen by the wizard. Khalifa was furious, and Aladdin fled to the desert island before meeting the prince. At this time, the witch came to report that it was the demons of the Devil Island who wanted to harm the queen because of the queen's rebellion, so the first thing was to get the magic lamp. So Prince Archimedes and Aladdin instigated the witch to kill the wizard. So the Flame Mountain Witch and the African wizard turned into various animals to fight for several rounds. In the end, the Witch finally killed the wizard and won the magic lamp.
In Act 5, the war with the monsters of Wakovac is
over, the magic lamp is given to the witch, and the prince and queen Princess Aladdin returns to the caliphate land in the flying palace. The happy ending: The sound of morning prayer sounded from the spire of the caliph... In
short, this animation can be described as very yellow and violent, and the scenes of XXOO are overwhelming. And the plot recommendation of the whole story is also because of "color", the wizard wants the princess, the prince wants the queen, Aladdin wants the princess... and so on. So, instead of saying that the prince is adventurous, it is better to say that he is lustful.
This is a story that is a mixture of many myths and folklore. In addition to the Aladdin’s lamp and other stories mentioned above, the most obvious ones are the myth of Yuyi, Hercules beheading Hydra, etc., based on From Africa to Arabia to Europe and the East, it covers a wide range.
I chatted with a friend yesterday and he said that all stories can be divided into seven archetypes, which is actually the classification of all myths and legends:
The seven basic plots are:
overcoming the monster;
rags to riches;
the quest;
voyage and return;
comedy;
tragedy;
rebirth.
"The Adventures of Prince Archimedes" contains almost all seven types of these: killing monsters (the last one to kill the group of monsters to save the princess), from frugality to luxury (Aladdin uses the magic lamp to gather wealth and status), task (to get The magic lamp can open the door of Wakovac), voyage back (after killing the monster and returning to the Caliphate’s kingdom), comedy (its own way of expression), tragedy (the lover is constantly lost in the middle), and rebirth (the prince is thrown into the flame by the wizard The mountain waited to die but was rescued by the witch. Aladdin was thrown into the cave by the wizard and ascended to heaven because of the magic lamp)...
Besides, the author of Tahilia, Wu Miao, didn’t know if he had watched this film, "Aki "The Adventures of Prince Mead" is said to be a paper-cut animation, rather than a silhouette animation, it is more accurate, plus all kinds of fantasy, so it feels very similar to Tahilia. Thinking back now, Wu Miao's picture sense should indeed be this kind of paper-cut sense, Western-style story, Chinese-style expression, and the sense of combining Chinese and Western walls.
In short, this kind of benchmark work is really outstanding. It is too classic, a classic more than 80 years ago.
