lisafordeay I saw this movie today and let me tell ya I laughed so much at it why because Robin Williams is in this movie better than ever YEAH. The film chronicles on Aladdin's big day with Jasmine,but problems arise when Aladdin's long lost father returns and he is working for the King Of Thieves(hence the title). So its up to Aladdin to track him down and help him retrive this golden hand that he is looking for.The animation is great(and hey I never knew there was a studio Down Under eh LOL),the songs are good I liked the first song There's a Party Here In Agrabah as well as Out Of Thin Air.The impressions are so funny I laughed when I saw the Mrs Doubtfire one and the Rocky Balboa one too. Overall if you liked the first Aladdin then sit back,relax and enjoy the epic finally of Aladdin which is one of my all time favourite movies ever. And even at the age of 22 I still love this movie. Can you imagine it took me 22 years to see this film even though it was made in 1996 and I was 6 years old at the time and it took me till now to see it.7/10

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) After having been disappointed with Return of Jafar, I thought that this might even be worse than that film. Boy, was I wrong. Sure, it's not on par with the original classic, but it's in my opinion a slight improvement over ROJ. There are some color changes and it could've been a little bit longer, but those flaws doesn't matter. What really matters is that it brought a nostalgic feeling to the original film by being an even better DTV Disney sequel than others.The story is very original and the father-son relation worked really well throughout the entire film. The animation is beautiful and fluid with some nice visual scenery especially the island that had the Hand of Midas which is by far the strongest aspect of the animation along with it's fine character designs. The characters are likable and the voice acting is neat especially the new cameos John Rhys Davis and Jerry Orbach (Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast is in this, by the way). The songs aren't on par with the songs from the original film, but they're still a lot of fun to listen to.Overall, not excellent, but a slight improvement over Return of Jafar and totally recommended to others who have not seen it yet!

dreamsnebulosa Weell, after seeing "Return of Jafar" I wasn't expecting so much for this movie. A few reviews saying "King of thieves" was better than "Return..." decided me to saw it and...wow! what a great movie!. As an Aladdin fan, I loved this one, mainly because its good plot and the good animation. "King of Thieves" has a good script, good songs, and our loved characters are back after that very bad movie between the original and this one. Aladdin and Jasmine are such a sweet couple! And I can't forget Robin Williams! He's back too and it's a delight.Now, I'm going to forget once I saw "Return of Jafar". This one will be the only sequel of "Aladdin" in my mind.

D_Burke You really can't review "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" without comparing it to its 1992 theatrical predecessor, or even the first direct-to-video sequel "The Return of Jafar". As an earlier reviewer on this site has mentioned, this movie is not as good as the original Aladdin, but much better than the second one in both story and animation.Having Robin Williams come back to reprise his role as the Genie was probably what made this movie above average. As talented a voice over artist as Dan Castellaneta is, he just couldn't fill Williams' shoes (or his lamp). So it was a pleasant surprise to have Williams back as his manic self with all his authentic, gut-busting gags and various celebrity impressions.However, that being said, having the Genie present a lot of the time created some fairly noticeable improbabilities and definite plot holes. For instance, when the 40 thieves raided Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding in the beginning, the Genie could have stopped all of them and sent them all to jail. I had the impression that the Genie's powers were infinite, so he was definitely capable of doing that. On the other hand, it wouldn't make for an interesting movie if the Genie magically solved everyone's problems. It still didn't seem right that the Genie just stalled during those climactic scenes, though.But with every problem the Genie didn't magically solve, there came a plot that was slightly more complicated than expected, and that's a good thing. The complicated plot made the story far more intriguing, and it added a great deal more depth to Aladdin's character. Caseem, Aladdin's estranged father, was also a great addition to the cast, and his character was equally appealing.Although we didn't see too much of Jasmine in this movie, she appeared to be a much stronger character than even in the original Aladdin movie. I commend the Disney company for making her a strong, supportive companion to Aladdin without making her appear to be a damsel in distress. In fact, the part where she punches one of the thieves for "ruining my wedding" was an excellent touch.The animation itself could have been better, but it was above average for a direct-to-video sequel from the 1990's. With just a little bit better animation, it could have easily been released to theaters. I don't think that was Disney's intent, though. So for what it was worth, it's an above average movie, and Robin Williams made the movie all the better by returning as the Genie.
