I've been looking for a movie, and it's driving me crazy that I can't find any trace of it.

Maybe one of you know what it is? Any help would be welcome:

I was very young when I watched this (somewhere in the nineties), so my memories are very scarce. It was an Arabian themed fantasy film.

The bad guy was some sort of supernatural being named Calypso (possibly Calypto?). At the end of the movie, the heroes trap him inside a mirror, but then it turns out that it didn't work - I think he traps the heroes inside the mirror instead - and so the the bad guy wins in the end. This is what made such a strong impression on me, actually.

The hero is a teenager whose mother is missing in the real world, but he later finds her in the "Arabian" world - she turns out to be the queen of a group of man-eating women. She assures him that she's very proud of him.

Around the middle of the movie, there's a philosophical contemplation about the desert being a sea of sand, where a mentor figure compares the hero to Simbad.

An old man, possibly the hero's grandfather, is reading the story of the movie in a book, back in the real world. I think there was a close-up of his terrified face when he read the ending where the heroes were trapped inside the magical mirror.

And maybe I'm thinking of another movie, but just before Calypso breaks free, when the heroes (the boy and his love interest) think they had defeated him, one of them asks "To China?" and the other answers "To China", when contemplating what to do now that they had saved the world.

I still remember the music that first plays when the ending credits roll and I could totally tell if that was the one from this movie if I heard it again now, if that helps you locate the movie somehow.

Sorry that I don't know the movie, but if you don't get help here you could try asking

whatwasthatone over on LJ? They're usually pretty good at finding stuff.

Thank you, I just might try that one out.

You can try here too. They've never failed me. I'm going to do a little GISing too...

ETA: OKAY! If you find this you have to let us know what the movie is. I've been googling for an hour and the best I came up with was your original TV Tropes query. I have to know what the movie this is

I might ask there eventually, thanks. (I hate making accounts in sites just to ask one question and never use them again, that's why I'm hesitating.)

Can I copypasta your post there? I have an account. I just really, really want to know the answer!

Forgot to sign in! That me asking about the copypasta.

Goodness, yes! Please do! You're a sweetheart! c:

Here's the thread: http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000001/thread/201651560?p=1 .

No replies yet. (Suprisingly. Are sure this exists? :P )

I'm 100% sure that this is a thing that exists.

Also, thank you!

Also, I will let you know, sure! :)
