I enjoyed this sequel to "Aladdin". Another of Disney's direct-to-video releases, the movie features decent animation, a good story, and music that is pretty good.

In the story, Aladdin goes in search of his father. Upon discovering him, he finds that his dad is the leader of a gang of thieves.

I enjoyed the movie and it was nice to see (or hear) Robin Williams providing the voice of Genie again. "King Of Thieves" is a great improvement over "Return Of Jafar."

In the original "Aladdin", the animation of the flying carpet was computer generated. Here, it is done with conventional animation. There did not appear to be any extensive computer animation in "King Of Thieves."

Still, I thought that was okay. This is a made-for-video picture, and obviously it would have been made on a much smaller budget. This was a movie that was meant to be seen on television screens.

I relish that Disney has made some fine direct-to-video sequels. Most are pretty good. "King Of Thieves" is worthwhile. Disney's first made-for-video picture was "The Return Of Jafar" (the first "Aladdin" sequel). "Lion King II - Simba's Pride", and "Pocahontas II - Journey To A New World" are others. I recommend all of them.

Give Disney some credit. These are great additions to my Disney Library.

I know that a lot of people had preferred Aladdin and the King of Thieves over The Return of Jafar, but honestly I thought it was a notch lower. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this movie but it was just an alright story. One thing that I really did love about it though is that we do have the original cast back and the animation was really lovely. The problem I had though is that at this time we did have the Aladdin animated series, which was awesome to watch, but this felt like a story that they could have just done on the TV show. Aladdin finally gets to meet his father, but of course this wasn't exactly what he was expecting, maybe he was expecting a Ward Cleaver type of guy, but hey, this is Aladdin after all.

Aladdin knows his future is being married to Jasmine but can't remember most of his past. But he remembers that his mother died when he was a child and he never knew his father. The oracle, however, reveals that his father is actually still alive. Aladdin chooses his question and asks about his father's whereabouts. The oracle reveals that his father is with the Forty Thieves, trapped in their world. Believing him to be their prisoner, Aladdin tracks them down and stows away into their hideout. He is shocked to find that his father is not their prisoner at all, but their leader: Cassim, the King of Thieves. But, family or not, Aladdin has trespassed in their lair and Sa'luk, Cassim's irate right-hand man is eager to have him punished for it. Cassim, however, suggests that Aladdin instead face "the Challenge" - an initiation ritual - where he must defeat another one of the Forty Thieves and take his place. Sa'luk volunteers to fight Aladdin. The two engage one another in a fierce battle which ends with Sa'luk falling into the ocean. Afterwards, this gains Aladdin a place among the Forty Thieves. Sa'luk however, has survived the fall, and makes his own plans for revenge against both Aladdin and Cassim. Aladdin and Cassim bond, and it is then that Aladdin learns the true motives behind the raid and his father's leave of absence from his family: he had discovered evidence of the existence of the Hand of Midas, a powerful artifact that can transform anything it touches into solid gold. Cassim believed that, with the Hand, he could return to his family and give them the life they deserved instead of one living out in the streets, and had instigated the raid so he could capture the oracle's staff so he might question the seer as to the precise whereabouts of the artifact. Only, Aladdin had stopped him. Aladdin convinces Cassim to come back with him to the Palace as his guest and, for a while, he is happy to spend quality time with his son. Cassim meets with Jasmine, Genie and the Sultan, and they immediately take a liking to Aladdin's father. But Cassim may still be up to his old tricks as Aladdin still tries to fill the relationship that he never had with his father.

So is Aladdin and the King of Thieves worth the watch? Yeah, I did enjoy this movie over all, it's a lot of fun and it was cool to have Robin Williams bring life back into the genie. The animation was really great and I loved seeing the action sequences between Aladdin and his father. The effects that the animators put into this movie was great and very entertaining. Then on top of that, Aladdin and Jasmine are finally getting married! They invited you to come along as well! Well over all I do recommend that if you're looking for a cute family film, this is a good one, I just preferred Return of Jafar a little more, but it's all good, this was still a worthy sequel and a good finish to the story of Aladdin.

6/10

This was one of the better sequels. The humour was not too cheesy, hardly surprising, seeing as the excellent Robin Willams was again voicing the Genie, and the voice of Cassim did a wonderful job. The animation wasn't great, but better then the Return of Jafar by a mile. The songs were a bit limp, but were upbeat and not that often. "Welcome to the forty Thieves," was my personal favourite. The storyline was strong and we even got a touch of mythology in there! A good yarn to keep the kids quiet, and compulsive and entertaining enough for the adults. The best sequel out there.....

Jasmine looked a little dodgy on some parts of the animation, while Cassim looked better then all of them. A few old gags and scenes from the first movie were woven in, but not to such a extent that it was major clinch overload.

A enjoyable enough film, which I actually quite like.^^

The third Aladdin film is not as good as the first film, but better than the second. Animation is vastly improved over the last one, but still can't compare to the first. Hey it's a direct to video movie, so it won't get the big budget of a theatrical release. Robin Williams is back as the Genie and is as hilarious as ever. I don't care if he was over done or not, he was very funny and vital to the movie. The songs were much better than people make them out to be. This movie had a great story and was a fitting end to the Aladdin story. Thumbs way up on this one.

All of the recent Disney sequels have a set formula that makes them generally the same movie. The main characters have a kid, the kids a rebel, and gets into trouble. Not so with this one. It effectively combines the Aladdin story with the legend of Midas - a touch that turned everything to gold. Again we get to see Robin Williams in character as the blue genie, and funny as always. Again, its a movie meant for the kids, but everyone can find some value in it.

1992's "Aladdin" was one of Disney's very successful efforts of the decade, which lead to two straight-to-video sequels, "The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves". Sadly, "The Return of Jafar", while not exactly bad, seems more like a cheap parody of the theatrical Disney blockbuster than a sequel, and the same can probably be said about the "Aladdin" TV series. Fortunately, at least that isn't the case with "Aladdin and the King of Thieves", the final installment in the movie trilogy, which concluded this particular Disney franchise.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine are finally getting married, but their wedding is interrupted by the Forty Thieves, who raid the place! The bride and groom, along with the Genie and others, successfully fight the thieves off, but the wedding is still ruined, as the pavilion has been destroyed. After this, Aladdin finds a staff, which is what the Forty Thieves were after! Inside this staff is an oracle, which can come out and answer one question! Desperate to learn more about his past, Aladdin thinks long and hard about what question to ask the oracle, and finally decides to ask her about his long-lost father. She directs him to the secret lair of the Forty Thieves, so he is convinced that his father is their prisoner, and sets out to rescue him. However, once he arrives at their lair, he soon learns that his father is not their prisoner, but their king!

This movie shows a return to form for some of the characters. In "The Return of Jafar", Aladdin and Princess Jasmine seem silly and less mature, but in "The King of Thieves", they are back to the way they originally were. Another character who shows a return to form in this final installment in the trilogy is the Genie. Robin Williams as the Genie is one of the main merits of the first "Aladdin", and the character isn't nearly as funny with Dan Castellaneta providing his voice in "The Return of Jafar" and the "Aladdin" TV series. However, with Robin Williams back, the Genie is once again hilarious! Aside from the characters, this second straight-to-video "Aladdin" sequel also has better animation than the first, though not quite as good as the stunning animation in the original.

I must confess I didn't like this movie quite as much the last time I saw it as I did when I saw it last year, which was the first time I saw it in many years. I found some parts a bit bland, and like "The Return of Jafar", most its songs are forgettable. I also didn't find quite as much excitement in it this time. However, overall, it had enough to impress me, with its humour, animation, and some reasonable adventure. It's definitely a stronger effort than the middle film. So, if you've seen "The Return of Jafar" and were severely disappointed by it, so you decided there was no point in watching "Aladdin and the King of Thieves", assuming it would be the same or worse, you might want to reconsider. While not nearly as good or memorable as the original theatrical film, it could be worthwhile.

voices: Scott Weigner, Linda Larkin, Val Bettin, Frank Welker, John Rhys Davies, Gilbert Gottfried, CCH Pounder and Robin Williams.

Unlike later made for video sequels, this one does not follow the plot line, "Main character has a kid, who longs for what he/she can't have." This movie has a great plot, it's that Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding is crashed by the 40 thieves, the leader of the group is his long lost father. This also marks the return of Robin Williams as Genie, where the sequel and television show had Dan Castellaneta. Of course, since Robin returns he has a gag every ten seconds, but most of them land pretty well. The songs are quite good, and the characters are really quite fun. The animation is not that great, but it works well enough where you don't really notice it. I recommend this finale to the Alddin trilogy.

My rating-*** out of ****. 81 mins. Rated G.

Yeah it was better but it still didn't beat the original Aladdin, It had the jokes, animation, and Robin Williams as the genie. But it was still missing the one thing that the original had...Magic. So if you don't think too much of it you'll like it. I give it a 6 out of 10 or *** out of 4 stars.

After the success of 'Return of Jafar' it's no surprise that Disney released a second straight to video/DVD 'Aladdin' sequel, with the big bonus this time being that Robin Williams was tempted back to voice Genie.

You would imagine then that this would be the better of the two sequels, but sadly this is let down by a needlessly complicated plot, that seems to drag on.

Williams skill for improvisation is given full reign, and this produces some funny moments, but I actually prefer 'Return of Jafar' to this.

Most of the time when straight to video Disney Sequels are made you can understand why the film was not released in theatres. However in the case of Aladdin and the King of Thieves I feel that this film should have been released in the theatres.

Aladdin and Jasmine have their wedding interrupted by an attack by the Forty Thieves. Soon Aladdin learns that his father is the King of Thieves. He brings his father back to Agraba hoping that he will reform, however Aladdins father has hopes of finding the ultimate treasure no matter the cost.

The artwork for this film is way better than in The Return of Jafar. Also the story is excellent and action packed.

One of the main reasons why this film works is the return of Robin Williams. He is as hilarious as ever as the Genie, and actually I think that he is much more funny in this film as opposed to the first Aladdin film. Genie is hilarious in this film and that is the major reason this film is great.

Also I like how Aladdin's father is in this film. A great idea and I think that this somewhat is similar to the third Indiana Jones film. Not only is the idea similar but the fact that they got the actor who played Sallah in the Indiana Jones Trilogy (his name escapes me) makes the idea work all that much better.

Also there is a good villain in Suluk, a sort of huge evil guy with a sharp claw thing on one of his hands.

I guess the one flaw might be the lack of great songs. If they had improved on that a little this film would have been perfect. But I would rather there be great humor, action, and story than a few great songs.

If they had improved the artwork a little, and added some awesomer music this would have been a great film to release in theatres.

Of all the Disney sequels that have been released straight to video, this is BY FAR the best. I recommend this film greatly.

Now this was a sequel well done! Robin Williams is back from the first movie and just as funny! I think they let him go loose a bit more... Which works nice! The music is totally different from the original. The Return of jafar had music that sounded a bit like the original music, but this has a totally different approach. The result is a very, very decent soundtrack! Nice songs, though not impressive. Animation has some flaws, but all and all very well drawn, too! The new characters are fun, I just love Cassim!!! However, I don't like the characterdesign of Sa'Luk... But maybe that's just me...

All things considered, this is a very good sequel!!!

A "Bachelor's send-off party" last adventure idea before Aladdin and Jasmine's Wedding is a good concept! Specially when it is put on hold as the groom's side of the family is rather empty, bringing his estranged father into the mix in a natural manner.

And the franchise lends itself well to the powerful Relics and more mystic developments, with a magic Oracle and "the rule of one" question per person being restrainedly well-written. The Golden Hand of Midas is a nice touch, as well as the use of the 40 thieves.

Sadly, the lack of quality songs takes away from the enjoyment (as bad ones are hard to tolerate and I would rather skip instead).

But it has a decent structure and is ultimately enjoyable (for kids) as a direct-to-video release.

This movie... I like it just because it's an Aladdin sequel but if I was a critic which I am not I would absolutely hate this movie Bad: The animation was absolutely terrible... Jasmine's face looked like spew and the carpet was treated badly. The carpet was a flat piece of paper for most of the flying scenes. A lot of things looked bad for example in the Saluke and Aladdin fighting scene if you can call it that the background damn red! Red! It looked horrible! Some of the jokes were terrible for example "None for you, your the designated flier" all he had to say after that was "Ha ha boom boom" and it would have been one of the worst jokes in the movie. Kids won't like this movie let me tell you that. Saluk had no reason to be mad at everyone. Just because he doesn't get what he wants it a terrible reason to hate everyone and everything. I watched the movie today and I saw (I hope someone else noticed) the Sultan wearing the horrible orange thing. When he met Al's dad his costume changed from Orange to White a few times? Everyone should watch it and stare at the Sultan in that scene because it will make you go "Oh god". I liked this movie but they had about 5 cents budget... Merwin Foard was Cassim's singing voice? Why did Cassim need a singing voice? He didn't sing anything that was too hard for John to sing? What next they get someone for Robbin Willaims to sing for them? Yeesh Good: Well... The songs were pretty good... Gilbert Gottfried was good as usual... John Rhys-Davies did his best... The story was OK... I don't think Al needed a Dad but hey I can't choice for them... It was a nice movie but I don't think anyone will ever be able to give a good enough reason... Like I said I like it because it's an Aladdin sequel and I think that is why some people like it.

6/10

OK, it isn't as good as the original, but it is a huge improvement on The Return of Jafar.TROJ wasn't terrible, it was just disappointing. The characters are more mature here, and yes Robin Williams is back and in hilarious form. The only reason why this isn't a 10, is because it just can't compete with the original, which is a 10. The animation is better than in TROJ, and so is the humour. True there are colour changes in some scenes, but that is what is to expected. Jasmine's animation is my only complaint, it was a little deflated, but I thought she was animated worse in TROJ, where she lacked her vivacity that she had in the original. I loved all the Genie's jokes. Here, he imitates Sylvester Stallone, Bob Hope, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubfire and Steamboat Willie to great comical effect. My favourite was when he shouted STAMPEDE dressed up like a cowboy. The story, while complicated, is well-told, much more involving than TROJ, and fills the running time perfectly. Never once is it boring. The songs are so much better than TROJ, bringing a nostalgic feeling to the original, and some of them have humour in them. "In or out" is my favourite. The score by Mark Watters is just brilliant, and deserves a mention.The voice-talents are great. Iago is less irritating in this movie, and Robin Willaims is fantastic. There is also pitch-perfect support from Jim Cummings, Jerry Orbach and John Rhys-Davies, especially from Rhys-Davies. All in all, watch this movie, you'll enjoy it ! 9/10. Bethany Cox

You know, the main problem with sequels is trying to outdo the popular hit its fashioned after. All others, merely ride coattails. Of course, sequels roll if the movie is extremely successful. That's why we've never seen, "ISHTAR: ON THE ROAD AGAIN" or "YENTYL: THE SAGA CONTINUES."

ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES really tries, but another problem pops up when you have this sort of storyline. That being, there's only so much that can be expounded upon. How much "palace intrigue" and "character development" can be rehashed on characters that we all like and know so well from the original movie? Only a few new characters were added. The plot pretty much rotated around a singular event between Jasmine and Aladdin, and an estranged relationship.

Thrown in, of course, are the usual sight gags, the bread-and-butter GOOD VS EVIL morality script. This time around, Robin Williams' performance is rather tepid, if uninspiring. The music score was pleasant, but not memorable.

The execution comes off okay, and nothing more. In fact, the screenplay comes off as too cookie cutter. These plotlines have been used for many moons. From Disney, from whom the art of animation is judged, we tend to expect better.

This was not the best disney animated sequel of all. but in all Aladdin and the king of thieves does absolutely have a good story line. the story of aladdins father is very heartfelt, that is why i gave it a 6 rating. and why did Iago have to be in this one also. i mean he got to be in the first two and he was the 2nd main character in the return of jafar. alls well that ends well though. aladdin and jasmine finally get married. the song for this sequence is very sweet. i liked this one better than the second, since robin williams returning role as the Genie. I liked it when he was Mrs Doubtfire. this is a good movie to watch over again.

After a quarel with the company Williams is back again as the genie.With him is Aladdin Iago Abu the sultan,Rasul and a few new characters the thieves with a secret from Aladdin's lost father.New songs,humor make this a worthwhile sequel.

I really like how Disney expanded their version of the Aladdin story in their TV series and the direct to DVD sequels, but this one kind of let me down. The voice acting is great and I really liked the music, but the quality of the animation is quite poor by Disney standards.

Normally, I wouldn't be so particular about the art but the drop in quality from the first movie, to the TV show to this sequel is precipitous. The color palette is so muted it seems like the animators were told only to use a maximum of 16 throughout the entire running time.

The familiar characters are still quite recognizable, but they all lack detail and depth that you come to expect from Disney. I know that the direct-to-DVD products are given smaller budgets, but that doesn't justify just how cheap this movie looks.

There are still lots of redeeming parts of this movie, but the lack of visual polish is too distracting for me to enjoy them.

Robin Williams came back as Genie,fortunately,and most of his jokes are

hilarious.ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES is one hundred percent better than THE RETURN OF JAFAR. But then,a root canal would be better than TROJ...anyway,the story is interesting and the voices are wonderful (John Rhys-Davies is brilliant as Cassim.) My only complaints are the rather limp songs and the animation of Jasmine,who looks like she's

been deflated. Other than that,the characters are more like themselves than they were in TROJ,and Rasoul just rules. A fitting,imaginative conclusion.
