After commenting on the influences of Eastern tales in Europe, this paper focuses on their influences on the European cinema. It pays careful attention on the work by Charlotte Reiniger, a filmmaker that played a key role in the history of German avant-garde cinema and captivated the relation between cinema and literature with her capacity to thrill through shaped poetry and, especially, in the animation movie Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed [As aventuras do príncipe Achmed].
