There simply are not enough films that can qualify over this length of time with the family as we have grown up. My daughters were five and seven when it came out, and we have enjoyed the film repeatedly as they grew to now 22 and 24. This is excellent value for money !! The production strengths are there in spades ... acting A+++, cinematography A+++ Scripting A+++ locations A+++. I won't go one, but wanted to review this quite lovely film now in 2017, after all these years. This one is a winner.

I have been worked in the production in this movie, pity my name is not on credits being Assistant to Production Manager and somewhere, transport coordinator and 2nd. unit assistant at war scene's.The whole production was a great experience for me and fun most of the times if you ignore the non stop work and run....Unfortunately it was the only movie shoot at Antalya Film Studios which is a great and brand new studio. We have been working over 3 months at locations in Cappadocia where I live now.I do watch the film time to time and still enjoy fully, knowing the inside information the set and the characters etc.I did buy a lot of props from the movie and have pictures, raw video materials etc. Do you think one can sell those on e-bay etc. I have more than plenty... So I can spare some out.If you did not watch the movie yet its well worth it to find a copy and watch.Happy viewing, Murat

I saw this on free to air tv tonight and thought it was excellent. It moves along quickly but manages to explore each story nicely. The costumes and set pieces are wonderful, and the mood is set well.If Disney has done nothing else it has butchered the stories of old cultures... Aladdin was not originally the story of a persian peasant with a pet monkey and an eccentric genie. Aladdin was a chinese fable, and was never as child friendly as it became. I like that they have told the original tellings (of most of the stories anyway) rather than regurtitate the disney versions

Normally I put TV productions into a category of their own; very few of them stand a comparison with productions made for the big screen. There are however a notable few exceptions; most of them Brittish, like "Prime Suspect", "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "Queer as Folks"."Arabian Nights", a Jim Henson Production, is yet another one. I won't try to fool you; there are tracks left from the TV format and its commercial breaks. But the casting is good, the acting is excellent and the story is told in a quick but relaxed pace, with some interesting quirks.In short: It has all the sence of wonder you expect from a good story book.
