Quality entertainment for all the family, 29 May 2001
8/10
Author: Diego Rodríguez (diegorodriguez@hotmail.com) from Barcelona, Spain

One could think of a TV series, especially one intended for young audiences, that its quality will not match that of a movie for the big screen. That is false for Arabian Nights. Starting with a solid and well-balanced plot, good acting, superb photography and truly inspired music, plus beautiful filming locations, fantastic dressings, special effects and some touches of humor on an epic drama, all you get is top quality entertainment for all the family.
