Non-linear, stories-within-stories that feature flying horses, magic carpets, djinni and other magic in a visually stunning film which follows a deposed king and a wily little thief he befriended in a dungeon as they travel half-way 'round the world in hopes of reclaiming the throne and wooing a hottie princess. Set in the "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights", fans of The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Prince of Persia video game series would enjoy.

Despite some sluggish spots, the result is still dazzling, enough to enchant entirely new generations of dreamy children.

This version is superior to Disney's animated Aladdin in almost ever facet, except for the manic Robin Williams voice-acting. More of a showpiece as to special effects and technicolour, the film is highly escapist, delving into the fascination of early 20th Century Western minds with the Middle East and Asia. The special effects have a quaint realism that is easier to appreciate than the wooden construction of today's blockbusters (Indy IV, for instance), such as the appearance of the 100 foot djinn, the mechanical flying horse, and the magic carpet. Conrad Veidt, of "The Man Who Laughs" fame, plays Jaffar and has the most interesting performance. The representations of "Orientalism" and the power relations of Ahmad-Abu and Abu-Djinn (who is performed by Rex Ingram, a black actor) recall British and American colonialism to various degrees. Of note, Michael Powell co-directed the film, dramatizing eyes and their means of looking as a power device that precedes Peeping Tom by a generation.

Not quite as fun as the 1924 Douglas Fairbanks version, but still a treat to see. The new Criterion edition is fantastic.

Fabulously entertaining, with a glorious score by Miklos Rosza!
