Trivia
Debuted in the US in a version that removed almost 30 minutes of footage that was deemed too controversial (i.e. references to lesbianism and bestiality). It was not a financial success, and didn't even have a national theatrical run. No prints of the US version were known to exist until a copy was found and restored in 2020 for the film's blu-ray release.

Crazy credits
There are no ending credits and no 'THE END' title. The film simply fades to black after the final scene.

Alternate versions
An English dubbed version that is cut down to 100 minutes and is missing the crocodile sex scene, lesbian princess and a few other scenes exists.

8/10

A bizarre, yet strangely enthralling take on Arabian Nights.

The worlds first adult animated film (predating Fritz The Cat by 3 years), A Thousand and One Nights is a bizarre, hallucinogenic, and erotic take on Arabian Nights, that ends up being a strangely entralling watch. An absolute must for fans of obscure animated films!
