Movie Reviews of Faerie Tale Theatre - Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp
Movie Review: With all due respect to Disney, this is the version I love
Summary: 5 Stars
Faerie Tale Theatre's "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" is absolutely exceptional. Darker and more mature than the more famous Disney variation, it is graced with a perfect cast.
Starring Robert Carradine, Valerie Bertinelli, and James Earl Jones, it tells the story adapted from "The Arabian Nights" with flair and impressive visual effects. Robert Carradine plays Aladdin with a natural humility, yet also just the right amount of ambition, and Valerie Bertinelli is absolutely stunning as Princess Sabrina, the young royal who fires Aladdin's heart. Additionally, Bertinelli exudes an innate intelligence and class which suits her character very well. James Earl Jones plays two different genies in this production, one originating from a ring which Aladdin wears, the other from the titular lamp. Simply put, he is amazing and a natural to play the fanciful characters. His forceful, loud, and fairly bizarre interpretations of each respective genie is light years removed from Robin Williams' jokey, friendly genie, and in subtle ways even better. I do have to warn parents that Mr. Jones' performance may scare small children, though.
Also starring Leonard Nimoy, Faerie Tale Theatre's "Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp" is an extremely entertaining, strong entry in the series.
