Arabian Knight
(1995)
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!!
