This is an fantastic series to watch, where the famed Aladdin is teamed up with Ali-Baba to wander the desert and have just plain old fun. But as with all things good, it has to come to an end in a most maniacal way. By happenstance, Ali-Baba told his Mage friend that he would conquer the present dungeon in order to stop slavery in his small home town. With the help of Aladdin, they breached the gates and stopped the interiors monsters within to win. But as soon as that happened, a mysterious Djinn appeared and whisked him along with Aladdin plus an ex slave girl away to far off distant lands in order to find each other again. So as Aladdin went on his adventures he finally came across Ali-Baba once more only to find out he was head of a gang of forty thieves to stop a local king and his tyranny. However, in the background lies an old sect known as the Kou Empire, headed by a princess that has a secret love for Sinbad who is also helping to stop the tyrannical young king. With her help, or somehow begging for it some time in the future, the rebels along with Sinbad and the forty thieves must stop the king from selling his own people as slaves to quell their debt from the empire. But in the darkest shadows, Aladdin's own Djinn named Ugo had lost his eight pointed star on his flute, without it, the Djinn can use his awesome powers against anyone as he sees fit without Aladdin's consent. Now with the war looming and new adversaries in front, Ali-Baba and his crew must face horrible facts about the use of magic. And why it is so important that doing things without the help of Magi will cause them all to know victory, although the bitter taste of defeat now and again will put a strain on all of them. I thoroughly love this series, with the great action scenes, and music that fits so well. The story is top notch with new twists and turns to give the characters new ways to overcoming their fears and sadness in the face of tyranny. It's not often to see a show like this, with the old ancient cities of Balbadd and ports for which Sinbad is so well known for. It seems his role as a king is well known to all in the ports as well as the interiors of the provinces. His weight can help, and to see him stop the mysterious princess in her tracks says to me he is more than just a sailor and captain of the seas. His presence alone could win the war, and stop the king, yet it seems he is just observing the rebels at a distance, helping in small ways. Again, a great series, a must see for all ages who love magic, action, music and a really good tale to dream about while sleeping. Recommended to all ages, fantastic.
