Absolutely brilliant

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Awful, awful movie. Bought the VHS release for 50c at a thrift shop some years ago and was damned glad to get rid of it for $2. Worst animated film I have seen. The animators were quite obviously trying to save money so they took any shortcuts they could. The actors must have been paid more than the animation budget to voice this awful parody of Aladdin. A good movie to make MST3K-style commentary about on a rainy day.The production values on this also remind me of any low budget animation I've seen. The sound quality is also poor, and it is very difficult to pick up on which character is voiced by which actor/actress, even though most of us may have seen some of their other work. The idea is there, but not as well executed as you may think. Final Score: 1/10.

This is without a shadow of a doubt the worst film I have ever had to sit through. Anybody connected with the creation of this film must look on it with shame.I can't understand how some very well known and respected actors like Derek Jacobi and Penelope Keith managed to get themselves involved in such a worthless piece of junk. All the other voice actors just drone on in a monotone.The dialogue is waffly and the animation jerky. It's clear that most of the animation was done before recording the dialogue. For the most part the lip movements and dialogue don't match and when the voice actors do try to match up with the animation their...voices become...so silted that....you break down...in tears...just praying for them to .....finish.If you are ever tempted to watch this film please just spend 74 minutes poking yourself with a sharp stick instead. You will thank me for it.

I watched this piece of semi animated junk last night, and have to agree with the previous reviews. It is utter junk. The voices don't suit the characters, and the animation is almost non existent. It brings back nightmares of watching the ultra limited animations like Filmation TV cartoons of the 60's and 70's. Actually I thought this was from the 1970's until I found it here, and couldn't believe it wasn't released until 1992! Maybe it was produced in the 70's and somebody bought it off the dust covered shelf, and decided to try and beat Disney to the finish line when they heard they (Disney) were making an Aladdin movie. Beware, this usually sells for a $1 or $2, even though the picture and sound are pretty good for a "cheap" DVD, there is absolutely no entertainment value, not even for little kids!

I actually got this on VHS when I was a kid sometime after the movie Aladdin (Disney version) hit theaters. My grandma, being the sweet but confused woman she is, got this for me and I never had the heart to tell her this was one of the worst films I have ever seen.The voice acting is terrible, the lip moments don't sync with what is being said, its very obvious that the animators are under paid due to lack of graphical detail and constant reuse of the same back grounds, the music is cheesy and hard to sit through without wanting to shove something sharp into your ear drums, and for some reason I can't explain, the genie is an inner city basketball player, complete with sneakers. On top of everything else, watching the movie again, it has this creepy, almost sexual undertone to it that leaves a bad taste in the back of your mouth.Get this and watch it only if you are a fan of terrible movies. Otherwise, just let it sink into obscurity where it belongs.
