@@Gamsterjeff600 I don't think I have. What is it?

@@Gamsterjeff600 What...is...your profile pic? X_x

Well then, still the movie needs more improving on animation and editing

Finally somebody who knows the story

And Ali baba wasn’t in the Story that Much. There was a slave girl in the original who saved Ali baba from the 40 thieves.

It wasn’t the wife it was the slave girl who marked the doors

wow I know the original story but this movie makes the story seem like trash!

You know, I actually do like them apples.

My wife's dead chief

Osama bin Laden's

Omg, why? XD

And suddenly I'm imagining woodland hunters using shotguns to hunt Goodwill stores. "Cleetus! It's in a cul-de-sac outlet mall! There's nowhere it can run!"

Joshua Kennedy too bad the animation and bad voice acting dragged it down a lot

So you don't thin a professional movie could have a good scene ofa character begging for their life.

@@fightingmedialounge519 Sure a professional movie could have a good scene .. professional movies are full of great scenes, but the pros would never do it like THIS. Bad movies sometimes contain little gems and I thought this was one.

Oh man! I didn’t even notice that bit and went back after I saw your comment, and it IS so plaintive and innocent and legit kind of heartbreaking!

i'm so glad i wasn't the only one who got a tiny gut punch there, ha

Oh. Lol I get it! Good job

Oh~~~ ohh the reference hits me hard!

@@TrinityTronos that sounds oddly sexual

@@wheeeeeeeeeee it's because Alibaba is like Zelda, but it's a shitty movie about it.

I legit thought about that when he said that 😂😂

*oof*

Oh my

F

*ouch*

When 911 had already happen

USA:wait that's illegal

The best thing is that it was produced just one year after 9/11.

Whoever wrote that into the script must've been racist towards Arabs

@@MaylocBrittinorum Oh God! I can't decide if that's better or worse

Thank you. I thought so too

As I imagined, but I highly doubt Osama Bin Laden originated in ancient Arabia.

It is Alibaba and the 40 Thieves. the story is very similar

That’s where I learned that too! My second grade teacher had us read it out of a book of other surprisingly dark stories. Kinda threw me for a loop reading his brother shout “Oh Barley!” At a door and then the shock of realizing how he died. The book was cool as hell too. The only other story I remember from it though was one of a poor man with two asshole relatives, brothers I think, who (through magic plot devices) caught a horse, and the horse birthed him three magic foals as a trade to release her. Two pretty ones and one ugly one. I won’t spoil it, it’s a pretty best story. Dark, but so was the Ali Baba story.

And the phrase, "that's so rad."

right! twelve year olds care more and put more effort into their animations than these things lmao

You should be! Your profile picture is beautiful!

DragonLoveBoom Awww thanks!

Keep calm and draw more then these idiots

I was thinking the exact same thing...i'm glad we're all feeling the same way! I believe in all of you!

3rd party 90's PC game with terrible budgets.

It looks like one of the Zelda CDI games

Oh perfect. Someone finally phrased the distinct feeling I had this entire time.

@@Derp13465256 I swear, that the animators who made the Zelda CDI games worked on this. The animations are just to similar!!!

It reminds me of that mario and zelda game that everyone used to make youtube poops from in 2010

I thought it was his servant girl who killed them. She poured oil on the ones hiding in barrels and stabbed one who was visiting Alibaba.

@@arifakyuz7673 oh shi- that's right, kinda got it mixed up with the movie... either way, the book is better than the movie

Oh yeah! I remember that! We read it in school! Although I thought it was a servant who came up with it, not the wife. Although it has been a while, so I'm probably wrong.

@@madd80 well you're not wrong, it was just a servant girl and not actually his wife.

@@arifakyuz7673 Whoever it was, they were bangin'. It's all the same in a thing written like 100 years ago.🤷🏼‍♀️

How about -Alibaba- *Director*

I see you almost every video. XD I am from Puerto Rico :)

You mean Alibama

Funny. I just saw the comments on "somebody that I used to know" today, and there is a big string of comments like this.

I second this to the furthest extent

8:51 "Osama bin Laden!?" (Monkey Moses) "Hold Up!" 😂😂😂

Heh

I actually felt this😂

My grandmother consistently bought me golden films movies on accident for every birthday and holiday. I have a complete VHS collection. 😬😬😬

@@octogonSmuggler a goldmine of cringe xd

Bruh...

@@octogonSmuggler did you thank her, so you didn't hurt her feelings, nothings more sad than a grandma with a broken heart?

Me too! It’s one of the rare interesting visual elements.

That was probably intended to be a joke, and it'd be very funny if the rest of the movie was more consistent.

At last one of them is Batman fans. Its say something.

Yo I like your profile picture, is it just cool art? Or is it a character from something?

In the original movie, the wife kills all the thieves by pouring boiling oil into the jars they're hiding in. In this movie, they just get hit over the head.

And kills the boss by getting near him while dancing and stabbing him while alibaba screaming at her about her murdering a guest but she explains everything to him and telling him about the forty dead raiders in the oil

I'm alibaba saluja

The movie is not accurate, but it is closer than I would have expected. Although Ali Baba was married, the role his wife played here was actually filled by a young but clever slave girl who he eventually freed in gratitude. The "X" on the doors part goes on for a bit longer and is more effective than the movie conveys. They were using the cobbler, who was actually a tailor who had reassembled the brother's body, to find Ali Baba after the tailor mentioned mending a quartered corpse (because how many of those were likely to be around besides the one they had made). Even the stripping scene isn't too far off. It was a sword dance, giving her an excuse to approach the leader while armed with a blade. So yeah, poorly executed and somewhat censored but not as far from the source material as the otherwise poor retelling would suggest. Not sure what the fuss about the bowl was. A measuring bowl is used to appraise the stolen gold, but it wasn't magical as far as I know.

I say more like it than a draft, aside from looking slightly better.... but then again, better isn't the right term for this travesty of animation

Oh my God!

Parker Green oh my goodness, This is awful!

Mr. Jellysquid and the hotel mario ones. lmao

Don't skip the ad. He needs the ad revenue.

Honestly, the only thing ripped off from Aladdin is the "Forty Thieves" song. Everything else is just a bad but still mostly accurate retelling of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves from The Arabian Nights (good book, highly recommend). Fun fact, this is what Aladdin actually looks like in the source material. vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/arabiannights/images/1/1d/Aladdin_Andrew_Lang_Rene_Bull.jpg

No, dude, this is an actual folk tale which was adapted. There is an popeye film inspired by it

This entire movie would make a great YTP branch.

Oh hey, Ralsei. How is the lightner world treating ya?

@@matthewsimon6170 A little bright for my taste, but the monsters here are nice!

@@turnipii4246 Good to hear. How is Lancer doing?

@@matthewsimon6170 From what I've heard, he's doing good as new king- the no dads allowed rule is causing some problems though

@@turnipii4246 well, when you see him next, tell him i say hi, and to keep doing well.

But it has Robo Cop fighting a ghost and jiangshi that are married!

This one is actually entertaining, but it's life draining. I might never watch it again!

The best part of the movie is when they switch for no reason from china to the USA where a drug nicknamed HORSE (heroin) is literally pulled out of a horse.

Get the Rifftrax, it's amazing

When'sthe sequel, Hobo Cop coming out?

X3

My dad watched this in cinimas when he was younger and some kid smashed the projecter out of sheer hate of the movie

@This Guy haha, but they did, they were really desperate for customers that they played alot of trash movies

@This Guy yea, they closed down after a week of showing this

@@literalhottie that what I would do if I see Alibaba

If they act like they don't see it, maybe it'll go away.

@Lil' Connor Peterson are you sure about that

There's not much point in suing if the target has no money.

accquizzer More like “They’ve got no money anyways with this movie anyways.”

Lol same with DC comics

Osama

@İlker Kesal Considering 9/11 happened in 2001, mentioning a terrorist for nothing more than a cheap joke isn't exactly the best choice.

@İlker Kesal The problem isn't what the character within the movie should know. The problem is that the writers of the movie attempted to make a joke in extremely poor taste, especially with how recent the attack was.

İlker Kesal this is pretty much the equivalent of joking about Auschwitz to a Jewish survivor in 1946

@İlker Kesal that somehow excuses them?

HOLD UP

Darth Lazy NOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO

what does that mean?

Osama is the guy who is responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Some guy who likes Starter Squad dude Osama Bin laden is the one who authorized the attacks on 9/11, and a US sniper assassinated him.

100% agreed

I think Saber means that, while Alibaba is a different story, they tried to invoke Disney's Aladdin in many key ways, thus trying to rip it off~

@@MintyCoolness just cause an animated film take place in arabia doesn’t make it an aladdin ripoff

@@Naka-wc3yo Did...did you completely forget about the chip tune prince Ali song??? or the needless modern references???

@@MintyCoolness yeah true

They did this story dirty. Also, message him on Twitter or Facebook

So true

How?

My jaw literally dropped and I couldn't believe what I just heard. That was just so intensely awkward.

Im betting everyone just asked to not be included in the credits till nobody would be listed.

As someone who recently started flip-a-clip, I can say that that statement is true

Ben Callinan OSAMA BIN LADAN

No Nooooo Noooooooooo

Hey, it's actually pretty good, you should give it a chance. Obviously it's not as good as the original, but it works!

@@chori633 It looks better than the new Lion King. But, I have 1 question! Is Will Smith blue most of the movie?

@@alexanderticonuwu7591 yeah

@@Nikk-Astyr Is it Uncanny Valley? Because the idea of seeing the genie in live-action feels weird.

@@chori633 No it fucking isn't. Mark my words

Plankton:Yeees

haha!

Same. Read it in Elementary. That story was too dark for my young mind at the time.

I wouldnt call this an Aladdin ripoff at all, sure they stole music from the film but Id chalk that up to laziness and not malevolence. Style of clothes and the onion domed palace are hallmarks of the setting(they were present as early as 1971 in a japanese animated retelling of the story) . The first film about Alibaba dropped in 1902 and the story has been milked dry well before Disney used it(and abused it in Aladdin 3).

I believe it's part of the story of "thousands and one night"

I read it as well, some things match the story.

Well Alibaba had them 40 theives... Can we get a comment train here?

Oh, I can't wait the all After Earth references I'm gonna make during watching Aladdin remake! xDD

Don't forget about "Yes" and "I'm comin"

Hey, stop!

"And break his concentration~"

“We come from the mayor’s” “N U T” “I’M A VEGETARIAN~”

I’m tired of this shit

Where's the skip, where's the skip! Crap I pushed do not accept. Now I gotta re watch it. 🤦‍♀️

Hah. Somebody beat me to it. Can confirm. Also, الدوسري? Never thought I'd see a handle like that on RU-vid. You a Qatari?

@@MisterManDuck A Saudi Arabian.

@@user-so4ov7re3s My bad.

@@MisterManDuck No harm done, don't worry about it. =)

I am Egyptian

Kit Kat but...it’s not as boring as the movie right 😂

@Mr D J calling it Arabian is honestly wrong…the amount of Turkish and Indian and a lot of other cultures in it is more then the Arabic stuff tbh

Well Alibaba had them 40 theives

Aladdin is a separate story based on a story from China actually it was added in the 1,001 nights in the original Aladdin the main character was a prince

i knowwww lol

Arabian nights

@@jordanpowell2242 You're right about it being from China, but I think you're wrong about the prince thing.

*west Asians /Arabs

And the original story happened in Iraq not China that's a myth

There is a version on Netflix that tells the tale very close to the original but it looks like it was made with Sims 2 technology and have a power ballad in a weird place and so much weird murder in a kids move. It's called Alibaba and was made in 2002. My household watched it and it was hilarious. I highly reccomend it if you like terrible movies. I was hoping this was about that movie

@@nziom I thought it was from the Arabs but I saw the story first in a bollywood movie

@@triliheart333 I've watched a much better Hindi version but would definitely love to watch that

Same here

Come to think of it, thid and Dingo Productions or whatever (the "Yee" meme company) does kind of look like an official CD-I studio. :p Link: "I'm so hungry, I could eat an ocrotock!" Seriously, what are these people on when they make this stuff? XD

*this

after watching this video,i want to watch that games cutscenes again

Even CDI looks better than this

Zelda CDI had much smoother animation. This one looks like they only did half the frames they should have.

Heh 'ho'

The sequel is almost as hideous.

@Diana Galarza Hey, don't spoil the "Cooking with Thanos" finale!

Chad Serrant Holy fuck you made me wheeze so hard I almost died

[The United States of America wants to know your location]

He referemced him because he should grow a beard.

AND IT WAS MADE A YEAR AFTER 9/11

✈️🏢🏢

I almost spit out my drink

That's why it was familiar. I remember reading this story from middle school.

Sevein23 actually same

Agreed, the ironic thing is we kinda already have other animated adaptations of Ali Baba's story that blow this movie out of the water. Like that Popeye cartoon called "Popeye The Sailor Meets the Forty Thieves" for starters.

The more you know

Which is where Spanish got its word for Olive too (Azeituna). The more you know...

it's only a dollar you ain't special please

@@samm4857 Are you talking to me?

i also want to add that alibaba is one of the tales included within 1001 nights (i believe). however, aladdin was written by a westerner and then added into the collection of tales. but this is just about the originals. i acknowledge that this video is talking about the movies (i think.. i havent watched it)

I agree but I also don't. It is pretty much exactly the story in Arabian Nights, but also, it did literally take a song from Aladdin. And it was most likely made to confuse people into buying it, thinking it's the popular Disnay movie based on the same story, while still remaining maybe barely legal.

@@adrestia11811 When considering that, I can understand the disdain for Alibaba (the movie, right?). I can agree with what you're saying, then.

Actually, This movie was made to sue Aladdin.

@@Nimori Can you elaborate? I'm curious.

nostalgia critic already did the story behind it's production

Ew, I've been trying to forget that movie. I watched it as a kid and I thought it was the weirdest thing

@@A-Microwave that shouldn't stop Saberspark if he wants to do a video on it.

And restoring it just to find out it wasn't worth it at all

Like Atari E.T game

This is *lesser* than that!

So I'm not the whole one who thought the animation style resembled the Faces of Evil/Hotel Mario/RU-vid Poop 2007!

No! Not into the cave of wonders, sorry treasure! It burns!
