Aladin

Philippines's own adaptation of Aladin (1946). I saw a very poor print of the film, so not all the magic was felt to full effect, but at the same time it felt like the production was so basic that it wasn't going to recreate the screen magic the story Aladdin requires. So instead the story focuses too much on the romantic side. The giant genie scenes were alright. The most interesting thing I discovered watching this, was that the Philippines had their own Charlie Chaplin impersonator! Canuplin!
