4.0 out of 5 stars an enchanting delight from FAERIE TALE THEATRE, October 29, 2004

This review is from: Faerie Tale Theatre - Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp (DVD)

ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP is one of the most enjoyable of episodes from the fabulous FAERIE TALE THEATRE series. Robert Carradine, Valerie Bertinelli, James Earl Jones and Leonard Nimoy lead the strong cast.

Aladdin is played by the appealing Robert Carradine, who offers a fine performance as the resourceful young hero who is thrown into a world of wonder, danger and romance after discovering a lamp which contains a Genie (James Earl Jones) who will grant his every wish. Unfortunately, a scheming magician (Leonard Nimoy) also knows about the magical lamp and will stop at nothing to get it...

Valerie Bertinelli is luminous as the beautiful Princess Sabrina who steals Aladdin's heart. She was nominated for several awards for her performance here. James Earl Jones is an amazing Genie; big and boistrous and very funny!

Directed by Tim Burton, ALADDIN comes to life with sparkling sets and vivid costumes. One of the best. Co-starring Rae Allen as Aladdin's mother and Ray Sharkey as the Grand Vizier.

4.0 out of 5 stars A rare jem!, June 2, 2003

By	Matthew B Cary (New Brighton, MN USA) - See all my reviews

While an all-white cast of arabs is little embarassing in the more enlightened 21st century, the strength of the cast is amazing for such a small project.

Lenord Nimoy as the evil Sorcerer!
James Earl Jones as the Genies of the Ring and the Lamp!

And if it gives you an idea of what to expect from the film, this rare little production was Tim Burton's first professional Directing job! His cave of wonders is remarkably creepy given the shoestring budget.

This review is from: Faerie Tale Theatre - Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp (DVD)

I got the correct movie case, but it came with a blank DVD. I don't have time to be shipping things back. This was a Christmas present...how upset would you be if it didn't work when you put it in?!?!?!
