Robin Williams returns as the voice of the hyperactive genie in this, the second direct-to-video sequel to Disney's hit animated feature. Aladdin, the street beggar turned Prince, risks all to find his father among the cutthroat 40 thieves and joins his quest to find a Midas-like stone that turns everything it touches into gold. A significant cut above most made-for-video animation, this energetic adventure largely leaves Princess Jasmine and the genie behind for a father-and-son quest. Guest voice Jerry Orbach suggests Sean Connery with his thick-as-molasses delivery as the master thief Sa'luk and, despite his limited screen time, Williams once again delights with his wild flights of fantasy as the big blue Genie. A rousing tale full of last-minute escapes and spectacular, kid-sized thrills that even parents will find entertaining. --Sean Axmaker

The big day has finally arrived. The entire kingdom has turned out for Aladdin (Scott Weinger) and Jasmine's (Linda Larkin) wedding. Thanks to the Genie (Robin Williams), it looks to be a spectacular day.
But then tragedy strikes. The 40 Thieves attack the wedding and try to steal just one present. Yes, that's right. But that present turns out to be an oracle that will answer one question. And through that oracle, Aladdin learns that his father is still alive.

All the Disney DTV sequels--or, as we sometimes refer to them in our homes, "cheap-quels"--have been bad. Or horrible. My problem with most of them is not actually with the movie itself, but with the all-but-inevitable leeching off of the original. Continuing a story that's already resolved or telling the same story as the first one are the M.O. for your average cheapquel--not remotely entertaining, just a ploy to make money
The surprising thing about this movie is the fact that it ... Read More
Rating: - Worthy of the Original
Aladdin and the King of Thieves is a great film. The best character is Aladdin's long-lost father - Cassim, the leader of the legendary forty thieves. A little Temple of Doom, a little swashbuckling, a little Sinbad, great costume designs, a lot of action and adventure, and a surprisingly thoughtful script. A must-have for Disney and Aladdin fans.
The story begins as Al and Jasime prepare to be wed. The wedding is interrupted by the mysterious King of Thieves, after a treasure in ... Read More
Rating: - Robin Williams is Back In The Blue!
This DTV sequel of Aladdin would not have been as great without the talents of Robin Williams. The animation is very DTV-ish, with the exception of the Vanishing Isle sequence. The music is fair, but does not capture the spirit of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman or Tim Rice's music. The story is about Aladdin and Jasmine getting married. During the ceremony, a band of forty thieves bust in. The king of thieves is actually Aladdin's long lost dad, Kasim [John Rhyes Davies of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy]. ... Read More
Rating:  - Skip it
I can't believe how poor this movie was. The original Aladdin was great. This was terrible. Robin Williams is truly talented, but he was was overused in this movie. The plot was convoluted. This movie was boring and couldn't hold the attention of 3 kids who really like the original. Skip this movie. There are many better Disney movies to see.
