The Combinator's Return The cartoon is rather stylized under Italian westerns, not for nothing it has Italian voiceover. In Japan, this genre was also popular, remember at least “Red sunset” with Ken Ogato.
In this adaptation, the leader of 40 robbers has a daughter, Madya, resembling a little robber from the Snow Queen. And she flies on a magical wooden horse like the one in Don Quixote. And Aladdin-Belmondo is a type of adventurer, similar to Ostap Bender, he even at the end says a phrase reminiscent of the final speech of the Combinator that it is time to retrain in management houses.
An interesting idea is the construction of the Tower of Babel, which at the end showed the viewer the brand “Made in Japan”. In principle, Baghdad is located in the territory of the former Persia, and the chronology is not so important. The drawing and behavior of the characters are not at all similar to modern anime, rather resemble something like the Underdog of the 60s, and French-Belgian cartoons (except that the blue-faced Vizier Badley resembles anime villains of the 80s).
Do not forget the married couple Gina, who are a kind of mixture of smurfs and aliens. In general, there is a salt of styles and motifs, but at the same time, a semblance of oriental color is preserved, and intrigue and humor are in their places. Super cartoon!
