Arabian Nights (DVD, 2000)

Mind blowing adventure and extraordinary special effects set against the backdrop of mysterious Arabia make this an exhilarating trip though the grandest adventures of all time.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY STORY LINE, THAT HAS A CONTINUOUS FRESH FEED, INTO SO MANY STORIES!
GREAT ACTORS, IN AN EXCELLENT MOVIE.

This version of Arabian Nights is one of the best on the market. My family has enjoyed this for literally years and continues to enjoy it. Now that the family is grown up...it still is a family classic and everybody wants their own copy to enjoy. Long movie, funny, mysterious, a little scarey for children under say 7 years of age but not anything they wouldn't see on TV today or at the movies. However, I would definitely monitor as a parent. Enjoy.

I loved this movie because I've been looking for this DVD for 3 years and when I found it and got it at half price also the free shipping it was an unbeatable deal!!! I didn't like that the DVD had a white mark on the DVD but it played almost perfectly minor scratches but it was worth the price I payed for so I'm satisfied even more satisfied because of the fast shipping best of all it was free!!! so thanks again.

I wanted to see what sort of performance Dougray Scott would give in a movie of a different nature. Granted he is a talented and i felt he gave an admirable performance as the Sultan who couldn't trust his own shadow. One thing that put me off though was the accent, both his and Sheherazade's accents were awful - he sounds much like his characters from movies such as MI2, ever after etc.

Pronunciation of the Arabic language was really awful. Simple words like harem and Allah (God) were horribly mispronounced.

The special effects were awful but i suspect that was probably because of a minute budget. John Leguizamo did a great job as both Genies, specially the part where the 2 of them are groaning about their familial relations - was laughing my socks off.

I was surprised to see Andy Serkis in the lineup and wondered how i had missed him since the Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of my favorite films of all time.

Mili's Sheherazade physically was beautiful and somewhat believable in her role, i wish she had been more expressive though since Dougray Scott (accent aside) portrayed the anguished sultan to perfection.

All in all a fun, silly movie to watch if you need to get your mind off something :-) Enjoy !

Smooth as buttah! Order arrived in condition as promised in short amount of time. That's what I like about shopping online.

Awesome Genies, wonderful humor & excellent teaching stories. 2 thumbs up. I would recommend this title for everyone !
