A 1967 TV movie was based on the Prince Street Players stage musical. This version is very close to the touring musical with about 15 minutes cut to be adapted into the 50 minutes tv program. It had Will B. Able as the Genii and Fred Grades as Aladdin. Aladdin and the Magic Lamp’ shares a number of plot features with a later European fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen in the nineteenth century: ‘The Tinder Box’. That story contains a number of common fairy-tale tropes: the magical device (a tinder box; a magic lamp and ring), a magic helper with the ability to grant wishes (a dog in Andersen’s story, rather than a genie), the ‘rags to riches’ motif, an evil magician (a witch in Andersen’s story rather than a male sorcerer), and a beautiful princess. We have summarised the plot of ‘The Tinder Box’ here so you can see just how closely it follows some of the key details of the Aladdin story. Aladdin is a 48-minute animated film based on the story. It was produced by Golden Films and the American Film Investment Corporation. Like all other Golden Films productions, the film featured a single song, "Rub the Lamp", written and composed by Richard Hurwitz and John Arrias. It was released direct to video on April 27, 1992 by GoodTimes Home Video (months before Disney's version was released), and was reissued on DVD in 2002 as part of the distributor's Collectible Classics line of products.

One of the main distinctions of the original story is Aladdin’s mother. In the early versions of the tale, she is alive and well and plays a significant role in aiding Aladdin to meet the beautiful princess. However, in later versions, he is orphaned and homeless and has to find his own way to win the princess. Syfy released a made-for-TV horror adaptation called Aladdin and the Death Lamp on September 15, 2012.Disney’s spectacular West End musical, ALADDIN, is now touring the UK and Ireland until January 2025. Alladin and the Wonderful Lamp is a 1957 Indian fantasy film by T. R. Raghunath. Based on the story of Aladdin, it was simultaneously filmed in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi with Akkineni Nageshwara Rao portraying the title character. In 1958, a musical comedy version of Aladdin was written especially for U.S. television, with a book by S. J. Perelman and music and lyrics by Cole Porter. A London stage production followed in 1959, in which a 30-year-old Bob Monkhouse played the part of Aladdin at the Coliseum Theatre. [26] The opening sentences of the story, in both the Galland and the Burton versions, set it in "one of the cities of China". [12] On the other hand, there is practically nothing in the rest of the story that is inconsistent with a Middle Eastern setting. For instance, the ruler is referred to as " Sultan" rather than " Emperor", as in some retellings, and the people in the story are Muslims and their conversation is filled with Muslim platitudes. A Jewish merchant buys Aladdin's wares, but there is no mention of Buddhists, Daoists or Confucians.
