A colorful and downright trippy version of the Arabian nights tale about a street urchin who stumbles upon a magic lamp and is granted three wishes by an all-powerful genie.
Actually, that's only part of the story as presented here, but it's the part of the film that provides the craziest and most spectacular special effects. The rest of the film concerns a king who seeks revenge on the evil sorcerer who steals his throne, in the process taking back his true love.
This is a fun and engaging film, awfully cheesy but in a good way. Disney ransacked bits and pieces of it for their animated hit "Aladdin."
Grade: B+
