Starring Alex Stein as Aladdin
Aladdin is a poor but clever boy, who gets by on what he can beg borrow and steal. His mother(Michela Kaduck) is afraid of what will happen to her boy. One day; Aladdin's uncle shows up. Tom Sinclair plays the uncle who convinces the boy to go on a dangerous journey to rescue a lost magic lamp. They need a camel for this hot and dangerous mission, so they go to a Used Camel Lot and end up with 'Arthur'(Claire Morgan) a tap dancing camel. Aladdin and his new-found 'Uncle' and his camel set off across the hot desert to find the magic lamp. As a beast of burden, Arthur proves to be a bit of a wimp. They encounter a genie(Josh Jia) who will grant the bearer of the lamp any wish. But 'Uncle' proves not to be who he says he is. Throw in a beautiful princess (Allyson Foster) and a king(Anton Kaduck) and you have a recipe for magic and fun.
Fun for the whole family!
