 * Anachronism Stew: One of the thieves is wearing a Batman shirt, for starters.
 * Conspicuous CG: Pretty much all of the backgrounds.
 * Freeze-Frame Bonus: Likely an unintended one; a giant hammer can be seen for one frame well before it's brandished.
 * Limited Animation
 * No Ending: After the leader of the gold raiders gets tied up and cries out for help, the title appears and the credits roll.
 * Off-Model: Among its other transgressions, a giant hammer can be seen for one frame well before it's brandished.
 * Plagiarism: They ripped off the song "Prince Ali" from Aladdin, albeit in MIDI form.
 * Plot Hole: It's not explained how the gold raiders found Ali Baba's house.
 * Spared by the Adaptation: See below.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: After the gold raiders find Cassim in their cave, he disappears from the story. In the original story, the thieves killed him.
