| The Adventures of Prince Achmed | comment |
Made by Lotte Reiniger in 1926, Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed is the world's oldest surviving feature-length animated film, pre-dating Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs by a full decade.note Do note the "surviving" part; the actual first feature-length animated film in the world was Quirino Cristiani's El Apóstol from 1917; however, Cristiani's entire filmography was rendered permanently lost after a series of vault fires between 1918 and 1961, leaving The Adventures of Prince Achmed the earliest feature-length animated film to still be viewable by the modern public.Based on legends from The Arabian Nights, it tells the story of the travels of Prince Achmed, who is tricked by an evil magician into riding a flying horse that takes him to distant magical lands. He falls in love with (and kidnaps) Princess Pari Banu, and must fight to return home with her in time to stop his sister, Princess Dinarsade, from marrying the evil magician. Dinarsade's former husband Aladdin (of the magic lamp fame) and a helpful witch who is the magician's arch nemesis join him on his quest.In addition to its age, the film is most notable for Reiniger’s highly unique animation style, which uses black silhouettes of the characters and set pieces against painted backdrops. While this might be perceived as limiting, the characters remain highly distinct and expressive. Each silhouetted figure in the film was hand-cut and animated by Reiniger frame by frame – a labor of love that took three years to complete. | |

Stop Motion | |
| The Adventures of Prince Achmed / int_119ea1fd | comment |
Stop Motion: Being the oldest surviving animated feature film period, this is also the oldest surviving example of a stop-motion animated feature, although the trope actually dates back at least as far as The Cameraman's Revenge (1912). | |

Hydra Problem | |
| The Adventures of Prince Achmed / int_144fc7c2 | comment |
Hydra Problem: Towards the end of the film, Achmed fights a hydra-like monster, and every time he chops off one of its heads, two more grow back. Fortunately, the Witch intervenes and uses her lamp to cauterize the severed necks, thus preventing the heads from growing back. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| The Adventures of Prince Achmed / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: Played with. The heroes are all conventionally attractive, and the wicked magician is suitably grotesque. On the other hand, the ugly witch is a heroic character and the one who ultimately defeats the main villains. | |

Enemy Mine: The Witch allies herself with Achmed mostly because she just wants to kill the evil magician. "He is my greatest enemy! And we are friends!" (Hilariously, she tells this to Achmed right after she tries strangling him.) | |

Shapeshifting Lover: Peri Banu and her handmaidens use feathered gowns to transform into birds. Which is a nod to the shapeshifting "Swan Maidens" and their feathered clothes in the folklore of Europe and Asia. Nearly every European country has a variation of the tale. | |

Stockholm Syndrome: After the shock of the original kidnapping wears off, Peri Banu seems more than happy to stay with Achmed. After Achmed is willing to let her go, she takes pity on him and even resists when the spirits of her homeland try to bring her back. | |

Incest Subtext: Might be a Values Dissonance thing, but a scene from early on in the movie will raise an eyebrow or two — when Achmed protects his sister Dinarsade from the sorcerer, they proceed to stare at each other intensely, with Dinarsade carressing Achmed's cheek. | |
