I remember watching this animated thingy kind of similar to Aladdin on VHS when I was like 5. It was in french (if I remember right). It is VERY similar to the Japanese version from the 1980s (but I don't think it's exactly the same). It is also NOT the 1970/ 1969 French Version or The Princess and the Cobbler.

Please do help me ID it if at all possible.

Here's all I can remember about it:

1)There were two genies (the one from the lamp and the other from a ring).
2)There was a young boy who gained the one from the lamp. Uses it to build a castle etc etc.
3)I think there was a bit about wooing a princess in there too.
4)The boy loses the Genie of the Lamp and his castle is carried away by the Genie at the command of his new master (I think the princess was in it as well).
5)He goes after the castle and has to fight back with the Genie of the Ring.
6)I remember the castle being joined in the middle by a sort of 'balcony-brige' thing.
7)The Genie of the lamp wore a cloth/ sarong kind of outfit (similar to Aladdin from Disney's version). He also had a mustache and was kind of huge.
8)There was a magic carpet as well.
9)The music was Arabian-ish.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
