When I first saw this version of the tales, I was hooked! The movie captures the exotic flavor of the region; and everything I had envisioned while reading the stories came to life in the movie. This movie contains four stories.(Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, Aladdin's Lamp, The Sultan's Jester and The Three Brothers) These stories are woven around the relationship of Scherherazade and the Sultan, Schahriar. I enjoyed every minute of this movie!
