Dove Review

Ali Baba is a poor man. But, while out one day, he stumbles upon the cave of some thieves. As he watches in silence, he discovers the secret to opening the door – “open sesame.” When the coast is clear, Ali says the magic words and the door opens to more riches than he could ever imagine! Ali takes some of the treasure for himself and, while he is checking the things out, he finds a beautiful, jewel encrusted vase. To his amazement, a genie lives in the vase and she comes to Ali Baba’s rescue when the thieves come after him for taking a pittance of their stuff. Ali realizes that greed is very bad so he gives the rest of the treasure to the poor.

This animated DVD is perfect for everyone in the family and gives adults an opportunity to talk with kids about greed and theft.
