Unsure why people are blasting the movies's special effects, they were done in the 1970s on a TV movie budget! Enjoy it for what it is, a typical evil Wazir wants to take over the kingdom and have the beautiful princess for himself, and the dashing prince must put a stop to it. With great though over-the-top performances from Roddy McDowell as the thief, and Peter Ustinov as the bumbling Caliph. Kabir Bedir does a decent job as the prince, far more believable and relatable than Oliver Tobias in Arabian Adventure (1979). A good fun and wholesome adventure film to watch with the kids.
