Review
In 1682 during his last trip to the Ottoman Empire, Antoine Galland wrote down a couple of stories that were told to him by a wandering monk. For unknown reasons those stories were not included into “One Thousand and One Nights”. Then 331 years after animation studio “MarcusFilm” made a movie out of one of the most fantastic stories of the collection and called it “Song Birds’ Shop”.
