Might be a little late to the party, but I must say that I enjoy this plot of a parody and a humorous interpretation of the One Thousand and One Nights: Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. Kidnapping the princess to prove his love, while throwing the vizier's son headlong into the water closet is a funny storyline. Wonder how many times this will happen 😁😆

I don't know why you think it is a parody. The book that inspires this version is a French edition of the 1001 nights from the beginning of the XXth century, mostly a translation of various Arabic versions from the XIXth century. This is not at all a parody.
The Disney version has removed a lot of details that would not fit well today.
Than it makes sense, I didn't know about this edition, but its pretty engaging and keeps the reader on his toes.
