Adventures Of Prince Achmed

When the Adventures of Prince Achmed premiered in 1926, it was hailed as a cinematic miracle and the first full-length animated feature. This enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation- beautiful, mesmerizing and utterly seductive. Director Lotte Reiniger's sinuous, elegant, designs bring characters vividly to life and give the story a rare lyrical quality.

Taken from The Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a wicked sorcerer who tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse, sending the rider off on a perilous flight. But the prince foils the magician's scheme and soars headlong into a series of wondrous adventures - joining f-rces with Aladdin and the Witch of the Fiery Mountains, doing battle with the sorcerer's army of demons and falling in love with the beautiful Princess Pari Banu.
