Virtually unnoticed after its debut, the film practically vanished until 2020, when Podcast/{{RiffTrax}} got their hands on it. A DVD was released in 2013, and the [[https://youtu.be/6VGb3IbdoOo full feature can be found]] on Website/{{YouTube}}. Due to its obscurity, no official soundtrack exists, but some kind soul (or person in desperate need of a hobby, however you feel) made [[https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2xh0ZVdTnNzYoy61zThgE4MGGc9OIxLT an unofficial release]].

This version fares closer to the source material, being set in ImperialChina, but is populated with [[RaceLift loads of white people]]. Young Aladdin So-and-So (his father being ''Mr.'' So-and-So) spends his days frolicking with his buddies and flying his kite. When his kite lands in the Emperor's garden, he meets the beautiful Princess Mei-Ling, and the two are lovestruck. But the arrival of Aladdin's long-lost uncle, a magician, whisks the lad away in search of a magic lamp, a genie and an adventure.
