Superb artwork is the reason to see ARABIAN KNIGHT, the elaborate animated feature from director Richard Williams. Though appearing in the guise of a cheap ALADDIN clone-- and not helped by a lousy late- summer release date-- ARABIAN KNIGHT was actually started *way* before Walt's heirs ever hired a guy names Williams to do voiceovers. Now, decades later, the finished product makes for an eye-popping bauble of modest value. The story could be stronger-- and there's only one good song-- but the visuals have a wit all their own. This is no ordinary cartoon!! Grade: B- Copyright 1995 Michael J. Legeros Movie Hell is a trademark of Michael J. Legeros
