We teach Arabian Nights in English 12. I like to show movies associated with the stories that we read. I hope this will keep my students interested.

Animation, untamed emotion and untiring action everywhere!

This film counts with the extraordinary support of "Dynamation" special effects' Ray Harryhausen. A ship's figurehead comes to life, the sword-duel with the skeleton, the amazi9ng fight between the dragon and the unicorn plus the fact the genius of the lamp makes of this film a must-see for all the family.
A must have familiar entertainment!

6/5. Definitely the best of the three. The story is coherent (well, almost) for a start. The dialogue and the writing generally are much better than the other two. Clemens was/is actually a good writer. The acting by the blue-eyed Arabs was better: Baker and Law were almost convincing. You felt a bit sorry for Baker, and Sinbad was very noble, and knew how to treat a lady. Good accents: I suppose when they were speaking Arabic they had English accents. The monsters were all great, as usual, and I felt real sympathy for the poor little homunculus. Everything was put together well. We had the gold mask of Agamemnon, the dhows of either the Persian Gulf, or the Suez Canal, Allah was with us, Hindu temples exploded, Buddha smiled, and Kali (actually she looked more like Siva, Lord of the Dance) danced and flashed a lot of scimitars. Finally we ended up at the Fountain of Youth (straight out of Rider Haggard's "She"), which, blow me down, was in fact centred in the middle of Stonehenge, which in turn was in Aladdin's Cave, populated by fairly small green men, as well as a combination Greek cyclopic centaur. Sinbad got around. There were some good lines. I actually laughed when the idle merchant's son got the shock of his life when he was told he had to work. Through the entire tale there was an extremely tense undercurrent of suspense: was Caroline going to fall out of her bodice before the end, or was she not? No spoilers here. The only bit I didn't understand was how the villainous Tom Baker failed to win the battle when he was both invisible and had regained his youth. Still, there has to be a bit of mystery in this genre.

Remarkable movie for the time period, without modern computer-generated action. My family and I enjoy this movie a great deal....clean, some comedy, good plot, and pretty amazing creatures and effects for the period. The heroine's outfits aren't on the modest side, but, there isn't even a hint of romance all movie long.
Well packaged and quickly shipped!
