When The Adventures of Prince Achmed premiered to German audiences in 1926, it was hailed as the first full-length animated film. Taken from the tales known as the Arabian Nights, the film tells the story of a young prince tricked by a wicked sorcerer into mounting a magical, flying horse for a direct course to his own demise. Soaring headlong into a series of wondrous adventures, and joining forces with the likes of Aladdin and a fabled witch, the prince evades his fate by saving a beautiful princess and doing battle with the sorcerer's army of monsters. This cinematic treasure has been beautifully restored with color tinting. Thrilling, sensuous and dazzling, Prince Achmed will amaze and enthrall audience of all ages.

"The movie's enduring beauty resides in the exquisiteness of Reininger's elaborately curlicued and filigreed costumes, foliage, and plumage, all cut by her from black card with scissors." - Graham Fuller, The Arts Desk

"A rapturous animated kaleidoscope with a more abstracted visage of the 1001 Arabians Nights tale than you could dream." - Wesley Morris, San Francisco Examinere.
