Arabian Nights (re-issued on VHS and DVD as Scooby-Doo in Arabian Nights) is an animated telefilm produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., and first broadcast on TBS in 1994.

The film is an adaptation of The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, in which Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, disguised in drag as harem girls, are hired as taste-testers by a young Arab prince (who sounds remarkably like Mandark, Dexter's rival in Dexter's Laboratory), a job offer they can't refuse. When they eat everything, the prince gets mad and chases them, until he finds Shaggy dressed as a pretty sheik. Shaggy tells the prince two classic stories: Aladdin (reimagined into a female character named Ali-adin, with Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo as her genies) and Sindbad the Sailor (played by Magilla Gorilla). This cartoon is drawn, animated, and musically scored like a classic Warner Bros. cartoon, rather than the regular Hanna-Barbera style. Incidentally, Warner Bros. now owns the rights to this film.
