La Rosa di Bagdad (English: The Rose of Baghdad) is a 1949 Italian animated film. In 1967, the film was dubbed into English, retitled The Singing Princess and starred Julie Andrews, making this her first venture into voice-over work.

Plot

A snake charmer's genie helps rescue his master's sweetheart (Princess Zelia) from a wicked caliph. Released in the U.S. at the same time as the animated Italian feature I Fratelli Dinamite, La Rosa di Bagdad demonstrated that Disney held no monopoly on clever cartoonery. Inspired by the Arabian Nights, the story concerns a beautiful princess, a poor-but-honest hero, an evil sultan, and a slave of the lamp. Reviewers in 1949 were much taken by director Anton Gino Domeghini's clever choice of camera angles, and by Riccardo Pick Mangiagalli's musical score. Unfortunately, the film is generally unavailable today, (except on YouTube) denying audiences the opportunity of comparing La Rosa di Bagdad to its spiritual offspring Aladdin. Reportedly, the film was released to American television in excerpted, serialized form in the late 1950s.
