In director Tim Burton's (Big Fish/Beetlejuice/Batman) retelling of this classic tale, Aladdin (Lizzie McGuire's Robert Carradine) is a bit on the lazy side-so when a Magician (Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy) shows up and asks him if he wants to get rich quick, he jumps at the chance. The Magician turns out to be a con, and all Aladdin is left with is a dusty old lamp. That is, until he rubs it, and a giant Genie (Star Wars' James Earl Jones) comes out, granting him any and every wish he desires! Life is good as Aladdin uses his lamp to marry the beautiful Princess Sabrina (Touched By An Angel's Valerie Bertinelli) and becomes known throughout the kingdom as a kind and generous man. But what will he do when the Magician steals back the lamp and "wishes" to have the Princess for himself?
