1.0 out of 5 stars This was terrible, August 7, 2007

By	Katharine Kriesel (Milwaukee, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The animation is very poorly done, there is no acting, no suspense, and the writing is awful. I was given this as a child, lost it in my basement, and recently retrieved it. A friend of mine and I watched it just last night and we were in disbelief that anyone thought that this was good enough to sell. Watch this if you want to feel better about yourself for not having been involved in the creation of this movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lame-O, September 3, 2005

By	M. Fangman "Vicar of Lameness" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lame. Lame. Lame. If you like this version of Aladdin, you must have eaten too much paste as a kid and your tastebuds died long ago.

I don't even have to compare it to Disney. You know it's not Disney and I know it's not Disney.

This was totally unwatchable all on its own merits.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Rub the lamp Alllllaaaaddin....rub the lamp and see!!.......Rub the lamp Alllaaaaaaaaddin, and set the Genie free!!", January 8, 2008

By	B>P> (Schaumburg, IL) - See all my reviews

I must say, this is my favorite version of Aladdin, much more so than Disney! I find it hard to beleive other reviewers describe this DVD as lame-it has great animation, and a nice twist to the original story! I first saw this back in '93 when it came out on VHS, & now am a proud owner of the DVD version.

The story, though only 50 min in duration, starts out with cheery Aladdin wandering through the town's market in search of someone that will pay him 3 eggs to be their servant for the day....not long after, we are introduced to the evil magician Haseem, claiming to be Aladdin's long lost Uncle from Africa, who is in search of a long lost treasure- the magic lamp! To tempt Aladdin to travel through the desert for the lamp, Haseem brings a sack full of food for Aladdin and his mother to feast on.....

Not long after, it becomes clear to Aladdin that there is no way Haseem could be his father's brother...and alas, Aladdin has retrieved the lamp!
The story continues, and I promise you haven't seen the last of the evil Haseem yet! This version is truly funny, especially when Haseem dresses up in the old medicine woman Fateema's clothes to fool Aladdin and the lovely Princess Laila.........see for yourself!
