The film opens with two young brothers, Sam and Khalid, who sneak into a department store on Christmas Eve. To pass the time and distract a security guard, Sam begins telling the story of Aladdin — but with a twist. In his version, Aladdin (played by Kev Adams) is not a noble street urchin but a lazy, egotistical, and somewhat dim-witted young man who stumbles into adventure more by accident than bravery.
Years after supposedly marrying Princess Jasmine (played by Vanessa Guide), Aladdin has grown bored. He still possesses the magic lamp and its genie (Eric Judor, half of the famous French comedy duo Éric et Ramzy). However, the genie is sarcastic, easily annoyed, and prone to malfunctioning in spectacularly unhelpful ways. Meanwhile, the evil vizier (Jean-Paul Rouve) — who has secretly survived his previous defeat — is plotting to seize the throne once and for all, aided by his bumbling henchmen.
The plot soon goes off the rails: Aladdin must travel to Baghdad, fight ridiculous enemies, avoid his overbearing mother (a recurring gag), and win back Jasmine’s love after accidentally ruining their relationship. The story constantly breaks the fourth wall, with Sam interrupting his own narrative to argue with his little brother or correct historical inaccuracies.

Director Arthur Benzaquan deliberately shot the film to look like a big-budget Hollywood fantasy but used low-budget French comedy sensibilities. The special effects are intentionally cheesy at times — a wink to audiences who recognize that the movie does not take itself seriously. Costumes are colorful, sets are deliberately theatrical, and the pacing is brisk (82 minutes).
Much of the humor derives from anachronisms: characters reference smartphones, selfies, and modern therapy while wearing turbans and riding camels. The dialogue is filled with puns, slang, and references to contemporary French pop culture, making the film especially popular with teens and young adults in France.
The movie is essentially a live-action cartoon. Chase scenes defy physics, characters shrug off injuries, and the genie’s magic often produces absurd results (like turning Aladdin into a chicken or summoning office furniture into the middle of a desert).

Title: Les Nouvelles Aventures d’Aladin (2015) Also Known As: The New Adventures of Aladdin Tagline: "Retournez voir votre génie préféré… ou presque." (Go see your favorite genie again… sort of.)
Synopsis: Set on Christmas Eve, two incompetent store Santas get stuck entertaining children. To save the night, Sam (Kev Adams) decides to tell the story of Aladdin as he imagines it: a chaotic, politically incorrect, and modern parody.
Aladdin is a thief who can't be bothered. The Sultan is a power-mad loon. The Princess has a hidden temper. And the Genie (Jean-Paul Rouve) is a bitter, middle-aged manager type who despises granting wishes. With absurd humor, breaking the fourth wall, and cameos from French comedy icons (Michel Blanc, Eric Judor), this film is a spiritual successor to La Cité de la peur but for family audiences.
