review 1: Perhaps it is the actual story of 'Aladdin' that just doesn't so it for me? I think Pullman does a good job at writing the story, and it has a few nice revelations in too. For instance, I didn't know that the story takes place in China, not Arabia. I guess that's what we get for believing in Disney too much.The evil antagonist is just the right amount of creepy to justify your wanting of Aladdin to win, especially when the lamp is stolen from underneath his nose! The only thing is, Aladdin is a completely unrelatable character - he's arrogant, mean and extremely demanding. I found him to be quite annoying.The pictures give great charm and character to the setting, which is probably why I've rated it higher than I would have otherwise. The story in itself is rather naive - ... morethere's usually a moral to these types of yarns, but I failed to see one. It was great to see the contrast between the Jinnie of the Ring and the Jinnie of the Lamp though. Give this a go if classical fairy tales are your thing and your interested to read the real story of Aladdin, otherwise, just pop the film into your DVD player instead.
review 2: Oxford reader Level1Time=11/20 88minutesseven word summary=lamp-magic-poor-princess-love-kill-ringIf you get the magic lamp, what do you make wishes?I want to wish for the health and happiness.This story is a very famous and I know the content. But, this was little bit different from the one I know. I really enjoed to read. Aladdin is poor and young, but he has courage. I like his personality. less
