What's the story?
Promised treasure beyond his dreams, Aladdin sets off from the home he shares with his dad Dave Twankey and prankster pal Wishy on a mission for local wizard Abanazer. To gain his prize he must enter the not at all creepy or ominous Cave of Wonders and steal a lamp for his morally ambitious benefactor. Once it has been recovered he realises he's been tricked and is trapped in the crumbling cave facing his doom. But hope is not lost, when he accidentally rubs the lamp he frees its magical prisoner, a wish-granting Genie!
