You'd expect a 3 hour long film like this to get boring, I was so wrong. Every story is an original spin on a classic tale and is so well acted it's incredible, the sets are lush and exciting, the villain is notably slimy and looks the part.
The acting was really, really good, especially considering it's a made for TV film. Also, each story has a moral you can take into real life too as well, "don't play the same cruel joke multiple times", "don't be too greedy" etc...
The CGI isn't the best, but that doesn't matter as the practical effects blow that out the water, and you should try not to judge a film too much on the effects anyway. The use of the ancient city Petra was a nice surprise and very atmospheric.
9/10: Perfect night's entertainment, and good for children too
