0:00:03 > 0:00:06I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The seventh child is always a lucky child.

0:00:10 > 0:00:14Her big brothers adored her, and she adored them.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Her grandfather, Jiddo, told her magical stories,

0:00:20 > 0:00:22which is how she learned about me.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Who drew that? I'm way handsomer.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33One rainy day,

0:00:33 > 0:00:37Jiddo sent her up to the attic to get a box from his trunk.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Boy, was she in for a surprise.

0:00:50 > 0:00:55If any genie is in this room, could you give me a wish?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Your wish is my command.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59SHE WINCES Ow!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Argh. Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

0:01:04 > 0:01:08But, greetings, oh wondrous one.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Tell me your wish.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14I wish for...

0:01:15 > 0:01:17..adventure.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59What are you drawing, Samir?

0:01:59 > 0:02:02I call it the sky lamp.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's a light that will travel into the sky and reach the moon, perhaps.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08What makes it fly?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11You have a mind for science.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14It is a fact that hot air rises.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16So the heat from the candle here

0:02:16 > 0:02:18will warm the inside of the lamp

0:02:18 > 0:02:20and lift it up.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21POPPING SOUND

0:02:21 > 0:02:23SAMIR GASPS

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Your arrival never fails to startle me, Jamillah.- What are you doing?

0:02:26 > 0:02:30This is a sky lamp. It's going to reach the moon.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Because of the hot air inside it, you know, it rises.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34I've heard about these.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36But we can't do them in London.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40There's too many things that can catch fire.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, come on.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47We're buying material to build the lab, Jamillah.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48You're welcome to join us.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50No, I'll stay. I'll wait for Genie.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53He'll probably want to see this as well.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Oh, where shall I meet you?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- We'll be at the... - HIS VOICE FADES

0:02:58 > 0:03:00What was that?

0:03:03 > 0:03:08This is a good thickness. Sir, how much is this, if I might ask?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, this is truly exceptional paper. Finest in the world.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16I don't have a lot of money, but I could give you a gold coin.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Wait a minute...

0:03:18 > 0:03:21I think I could be persuaded to part with it for two gold coins.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Are you mad?

0:03:23 > 0:03:2510 dinar. Final offer.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Did I mention that this paper is used by the Chinese emperor?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- I hear it's a favourite at court. - Goodbye.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Wait!

0:03:34 > 0:03:39I just remembered there's a sale on paper today. 10 dinar.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40That's what I thought.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50- You are amazing, Aladdin. I must learn your ways.- Yes, you must.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Come on, Genie.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'll be with you in a sec.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57Just getting the picnic ready.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Fish sandwich, ooh, just the thing.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Right. Custard, greenery.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07HE HUMS

0:04:11 > 0:04:12On our way.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Finally. - So, where are we meeting them?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20I couldn't quite understand what Samir said.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24He said something like, "Meet me at the oh-rur..."

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Hang on.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Switching on my voice translator. Say it again.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Meet me at the oh-rur.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32BUZZING

0:04:32 > 0:04:33HE MUMBLES

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Ah-ha! Meet me at the open road.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45My friends! Just in time.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48While we make this lamp, could you build us a fire, Genie?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- We'll need to light a candle. - Build a fire?

0:04:51 > 0:04:52HE LAUGHS

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Genies don't build fires. We conjure. Like this.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Oh!

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Watch out!- Genie, careful!

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Oops. Not to worry. I'm on it.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32- A thing of beauty, is it not?- Yes.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35- And now for the light.- On three.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38One, two,

0:05:38 > 0:05:39two and a half...

0:05:39 > 0:05:42What do you think you are doing?

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Um...

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Do you have permission for that?

0:05:47 > 0:05:52I was simply launching a lamp into the sky. I did not realise that...

0:05:52 > 0:05:56Did you hear that?! He was launching a lamp.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01LAUGHTER

0:06:01 > 0:06:03How dare you?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06You cannot launch anything without consulting the Sultan.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09I guess I'll put it away, then.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11No, no, no.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16This is an important experiment. Take us to the Sultan.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Let us speak to him. - Ridiculous.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22You may come in the morning...

0:06:23 > 0:06:26..next month, the 10th.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- But that's three weeks from now! - Mh-mm.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I do not trust that snake charmer. Keep an eye on them.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- You children are so bold and brave. How do you do it?- Oh, it's easy!

0:06:47 > 0:06:51You just close your eyes, clench your fists, and boom! Brave.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Close my eyes, clench my fists...

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh, no, I just have a headache!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh, well. I guess we can save this for next month.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09Well, I think we should launch the lamp. It's for science.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm sure, if the Sultan knew, he wouldn't mind.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14I think you're right, Aladdin.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Let us repair the lamp.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19CALL FOR PRAYER

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Ah, a full moon tonight.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Yes, your Highness.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37The grandest of our three moons.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Are there really three moons?

0:07:39 > 0:07:43As I have explained, we have the full moon, the half moon,

0:07:43 > 0:07:44and the sickle moon.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Three different moons.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48I suppose you're right.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Sir, they are flying the lamp.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Excuse me, your Highness.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57There is a crime occurring, and I must attend.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Perfect. Now let's see if this will reach the moon.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08You're under arrest!

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Whereas Samir, the snake charmer, was given a direct order

0:08:13 > 0:08:14by the vizier.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Whereas Samir has disobeyed that order.

0:08:16 > 0:08:22It is decreed that he shall spend the next 30 days in jail.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23No!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25You can't.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31I remind you, the Sultan owns this city.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34As long as you stand on the soil of Baghdad,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37you may not light that lamp.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47The Sultan may own Baghdad, but he doesn't own the air above it.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53HE WHISTLES

0:08:59 > 0:09:00I'm getting so good at this.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02We will light the lamp from the air.

0:09:02 > 0:09:03All aboard!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15HE CASTS A SPELL

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Woo-hoo!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Give a shout when you see the Sultan's palace!

0:09:24 > 0:09:26There it is, up ahead!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Will you hold up the lantern for me?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Oh, I'm good.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Wow.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40BOTH: Wow.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Excuse the disturbance, your Highness.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48We're taking Samir to jail. He disobeyed an order.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52- What was he doing? - Lighting a sky lamp.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55I forbade him to continue his experiment.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Guard, bring the prisoner to me.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Is this true? You disobeyed the vizier?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06HE STUTTERS

0:10:08 > 0:10:10You were conducting an experiment.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16He will not speak. Take him away.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17No, no, wait, wait. Wait.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Close my eyes, clench my fists...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I did disobey the vizier, your Highness.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30But only because I was sure you would support the experiment.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32I know you support scientists throughout the land.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36You are not a scientist. You are a snake charmer.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37It is true, I do charm snakes,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41but I also make a study of the sky, the stars and the moon.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45The moon. My favourite subject.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50Tell me, are there really three moons, as the vizier contends?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52No, there is but one.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Though it does look different from night to night.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00This is outrageous. How dare you contradict me?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06So, you were conducting an experiment.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08What did you hope to achieve?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I was hoping to show that on a night like tonight...

0:11:11 > 0:11:14OWLS HOOT

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Oh! Just that.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22I was hoping to show that the light would go straight up,

0:11:22 > 0:11:23all the way to the moon.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Marvellous.

0:11:25 > 0:11:30Come. Come to my observatory. The view of the sky is uninterrupted.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Tell me, will we see...

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Anchovy and jam. Squid roll-up.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Oh, who wants the custard and fish?

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I hope Samir can see this.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50I am sure he is watching with the Sultan himself.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53You're a really good genie, you know. The best.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59The feeling, my friends, is mutual.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Every story has an ending.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08And eventually, Jamillah had to say goodbye to Baghdad.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12It was nice to get home and see her family,

0:12:12 > 0:12:15but Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18And me, her brilliant genie.

0:12:20 > 0:12:27# So what is your wish say O wondrous one

0:12:27 > 0:12:32# Just don't rock my lamp and your will is done

0:12:34 > 0:12:39# No need for applause Yes I'm number one
