Quite Colorful, But Otherwise Rather Uninspired, 25 October 2002
Author: Snow Leopard from Ohio

This old version of the legend of Ali Baba is quite colorful (featuring the old laborious hand-tinting technique), and it has a couple of good special visual effects, but it is otherwise rather uninspired. The way that it presents the story is somewhat choppy, the characters are never developed very far, and the scenario doesn't really do very much with the high points of the story.

This same production team had previously made a film version of the legend of Aladdin, and that movie works much better than does their "Ali Baba". The story of "Ali Baba" is also interesting enough that it could be made into a good short movie, but at least in this one there is some unrealized potential.

It's still probably still worth watching for its historical interest, for those who enjoy finding and watching these very old movies. Its color alone makes it interesting for its time, but it's not really one of the best efforts of the era.
