      I actually might’ve appreciated the movie more if the animators had more quality animation like Harry’s.
      Of course the satirical comedy of the Harry animation would be lost unfortunately.

    So this inspired me to re-read the original Arabian Nights story (no, not one of the sanitized children's versions) because I remembered the original tale being similar, but it turns out this is a "broad strokes" adaptation.
    All the differences I can recall:
    1. Kasim is only in the story for like, a page.
    2. Ali's wife doesn't borrow a "magic bowl," she borrows a plain ol' weight-measuring scale, which Kasim's wife coats with wax just to see what Ali would be measuring, purely out of nosiness.
    3. Unlike in this version, Ali Baba didn't share the gold around--he and his household tried their darndest to keep everything under wraps, in part because they knew the thieves would look for anyone who had suddenly become very rich, but also because they didn't want to risk possible legal issues.
    4. Kasim not only gets killed, he's actually cut into four pieces and his body parts hung just beyond the door as a warning. Ali Baba finds these and takes these home, but doesn't have a funeral for a few days so that his household can pretend Kasim is sick and died of disease, going with the whole "keeping everything under wraps" thing.
    5. The text only says the one bandit marked Ali Baba's house with chalk, not that he drew an X.
    6. Pretty much, the rest of the story is Ali Baba being oblivious to danger which an awesome slave girl he employs named Morgiana constantly saves him from--the chalk thing happens TWICE (once with white then with red chalk) before the robber captain comes and simply memorizes the location, and then when he pretends to be an oil salesman she happens upon the dudes in the jars and POURS BURNING OIL ON THEM, which kills them all (apparently without them crying out or being heard since again, Ali Baba is later able to keep this under wraps, and she got to all of them before anyone found out what she did).
    By the way, the term "Zaitoon" or however its spelled is NEVER MENTIONED ONCE, at least not in the edition I have (which is by Jack Zipes, but based on the Richard F. Burton translation).
    7. The captain escapes after the oil merchant plan, and comes back with another plan where he befriend's Ali's nephew to get into Ali Baba's house, hoping to just stab him. Once again Morgiana gets wise and straight-up murders the guy. She's rewarded by being married to Ali Baba's nephew, who its emplied treated her well and gave her everything she ever wanted.
    So basically, "Ali Baba and the Gold Raiders" took a fun little fairy tale and made it stupid, in part just by telling it badly.

    Funny enough this is more faithful to the actual tale than most adaptations. In it, Ali Baba's brother gets killed, and his donkeys are sent back each carrying a piece of him, and Ali's wife kills all the raiders while they're hiding in the jars by pouring boiling oil into them. And people think the Grimm Brothers were too graphic...

      No, the infamous Zelda CD-I and Hotel Mario cutscenes were animated by some Russian studio by the name of Animation Magic.
      This was animated by Bening Studio in Indonesia. From what I can gather, I think all of their stuff was released direct-to-VCD (Video CD) in their native country. But I can certainly see the resemblance when it comes to their 2-D animation. However, from what I can recall of the Zelda CD-I and Hotel Mario cutscenes, Animation Magic never used 3-D backgrounds though.

    In the original tale Ali Baba borrows a completely mundane scale from his greedy brother under tha pretense that he wants to measure grain. Kassim finds out he's measuring gold by sticking a piece of wax to the scales which one of the gold coins gets stuck on.
    Why did they have to make the whole ordeal and the two brothers so much dumber? Were they afraid little kids wouldn't get scales and believed you could only measure stuff with magic?
    Also, the Forty Thieves mutilate Kassim and prop the pieces up inside the cave. Ali Baba retrieves them and that's why the Forty Thieves get on his tail. The moviemakers kind of forgot that the Forty Thieves must have a reason to suspect a second intruder (in other sanitized versions Kassim rats his brother out), but eh, saying Zaitoone a thousand times was way more important.

    What is even more typical of this movie is that they didn't even need to add a confusing magic measuring bowl into it. The original tale had them ask for a scale to measure the coins, but Cassim's wife puts wax on it to see what they really needed it for and found the coin.

      Cassim's wife was kind of a nosy bitch. She knew Ali Baba and his wife were poor, and she wanted to know what they possibly could have wanted with their scale since she thought they didn't have doodly squat. She first thought that they came across some rice and she wanted to she what kind of rice. So before she lent them the scale she put wax on it to see what stuck to it. She was surprised to find out it was actually a gold coin.

    As others have pointed out, zaitun or zaytoon (زيتون) is Arabic for olive. So, when he says his wife, Zaitun, uses zaitun in her cooking, what he really means is that his wife, Zaitun (Olive), uses olive oil in her food preparation. But technically, this is zait zaitun (زيت زيتون), which his wife, Zaitun uses.

The raiders. They killed him.

That conference then created Yogyakarta Principles. It's sort of called "soft law" by international law scholars cos it's not a convention or treaty but most of what's written in the principles are pretty much accepted interpretation of landmark conventions like ICCPR and ICESCR(ie. criminalisation of sexuality is a violation of privacy, rights like freedom of speech, expression etc should also extend to LGBT individuals, stuff like that) so it's kinda moot cos what's written there is norm already, just kinda scattered in decisions and not compiled

    I watched this whole review just to find out where did Phelan's "Stupid Donkeys" running gag came from.

    I showed Harry Partridge's animated parts of this video to a friend, & said friend pointed me in the direction of Harry's "Nicolas Cage Wants Cake" video.
    😆My video calls with this buddy of mine leads to some weird, fun places.

    Was Tommy Wiseau involved?
    And why does this remind me of Aladdin and the adventure of no time?

      This makes Aladdin and the Adventure of all Time look like Disney's Aladdin.

    Fun Fact: Bening Studio have made animated films other than this: they are mostly based on Indonesian folklore like Timun Mas and Pangeran Katak. However, they also have made stuff not based on Indonesian folklore like The Abunawas and Siluman ular putih. Sadly, Ali Baba and the Gold Raiders is the only one of their films that I know has a English dub.
