It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Aladdin and the King of Thieves follows our heroic Prince about to tie the knot when the wedding is disrupted of a band of thieves. Aladdin's plan to stop them brings him face-to-face with a long lost loved one, together they embark on a perilous treasure hunt.King of Thieves is a good sequel for several reasons, one of the biggest being story, It's driven by genuine character development, relationships and the weight of big decisions. The animation is pretty good, much better then previous straight-to-DVD movies.Another BIG plus is Robin Williams return as the character Genie. Like the first film, this one has lots of hilarious jokes that double as references to other films. Here Disney pokes fun at themselves several times.It's a good script with good characters, good action and good jokes. An all around good movie!

I was never a fan of the original Aladdin movie and I just happen to catch this movie on TV on a slow night. I wasn't expecting too much from the film, but did find the story about Aladdin finally getting to marry Princess Jasmine only to find the wedding being disrupted by the 40 Thieves a bit intriguing.The animation wasn't the best, but was serviceable. Robin Williams returned to voice the Genie and gave, as I remembered, a less-than-annoying and less American culture cliché portrayal than in the first movie. The songs were OK, not as catchy as the ones in the first film. But, the plot was a tad more exciting due to more exciting sequences and the incorporation of the Midas storyline. Other than that, however, it's not one of the better Disney movies out there and if I would randomly select a Disney movie to put on for guests, it wouldn't be this one. I just find the movie to be a tad boring and find it better suited for little kids.Grade C

Before Disney began to spit out sequels to almost every animated movie they've made, "Aladdin" was the first film who got two sequels and a television series. For me they could just make the sequels, cause the TV series were, except some few episodes, really awful! The good ol' "Aladdin" from 1992 has earned it's "Disney classic" reputation. Unlike the people I know, I enjoyed "Return of Jafar" (although it had some flaws).Still, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" has a better plot and story than "Return of Jafar". But it's also is a more serious and heavy-handed cartoon than the two previous "Aladdin" films, even surpassing "Pocahontas" for seriousness. Still, "King of Thieves" is a watchable and a okay movie.It's great to see the good ol' Genie (with Robin Williams' voice) back in action! Aladdin himself has gone through many changes throughout the films and the series and this film he's more sentimental and selfless in this picture (unlike the selfish "kind of" hero in the series) and so are Jasmine and Abu. Unfortunately, Rajah the tiger doesn't appear so much in this feature.This movie has a new composer for the score, which is a nice change. The animation is of course not so great, but still it's colorful.

The "Aladdin" series of stuff keeps on piling up in 1996 with its third part and its second video- only movie so far, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves."Here, Aladdin has decided to marry Princess Jasmine. But as the ceremony was about to go through, something bad happens!!!!! There are bad guys; thieves!!!!! Now, Aladdin's job is to stop them before it's too late and that the wedding will go on!!!!!I must say, "Aladdin" was a very successful Disney medium of the 1990s. Yes, I have enjoyed "Beauty and the Beast," but I too have enjoyed "Aladdin." This spawned three movies (one theatrical and two video), plus a TV series and a video game, and lots of toys, too.This final chapter in the "Aladdin" series is a must see!!!!!10 stars
