Aladdin Central Messageboard

We've discussed this before, but never made a pole! So hereya go. I just listed off the first few that came to mind. Here's a quick summary of the stories:
Ali Baba and the forty thieves - a man finds the 40thieves hideout and bunches of trouble starts. But his slave Morgana has a few tricks up her sleeve to save the day. My thoughts on this one: It would be kind of wierd to have this since Disney already used the 40 thieves in Aladdin and the KoT. It would be wierd coming up with 40 completely different thieves. And if they went with the original 40, they would probably totally butcher the personas of them as they usually do in sequels etc. And it wouldn't be the same without Jerry Orbach as Saluk.
Ivanhoe is about a knight who falls in love with two women - one being a rich woman that they bethrothed each other to as children, one being a dark-eyed witch doctor... It's really not that popular and I don't know why it so randomly popped into my head, but hey.
Rapunzel - Duh. The long hair, the chant, the witch, you got it. My thoughts: Barbie already did it. Disney should stay away from it.
The Magic Flute: A princess was kidnapped from birth by an evil witch and was raised to believe that she was her mother. At almost 16, her father finds and rescues her. The witch pays a prince to rescue her daughter and gives him a magic flute to help out.
Narnia: C.S. Lewis. FOur kids find a magical world ruled by a mighty lion. It's already being remade by other companies, sooo...

One of the choices is "Rapunzel." Are they making one? I may have heard that somewhere...

And Disney is doing a live-action "Narnia" with Walden Media, the first installment comes out in December.

I had suggested this movie in another thread-

Well, I put the Magic Flute, but now that I remember that point you made, AG, I dunno... (wish we could undo votes...)

I've read a good amount of moviable books in my day. And I agree that the 1001 Arabian Nights (Sheherazades's tales) would be cool... I've read mild versions of that that could easily be made into a movie. And people can complain about anything. That's their problem.
