Aladdin and the king of thieves,
One of the best disney movies i have ever seen.
It has great songs, and i’d love to find a cd with them on.
I especially like the song ‘Thin Air’, and also ‘There’s a Party in Agrabah’.

|The only worthy “Aladdin” sequel,
I was really pleased (and relieved) that “Aladdin and the King of Thieves” was a well-made sequel, especially after the embarrassing debacle of the straight-to-video “The Return of Jafar”. I rented “Jafar” when it was released, watched it for the first 15 mins., then turned off the VCR in disgust. Everything about it was cheap: cheap story, cheap animation, and cheap execution. It was barely up to Saturday morning cartoon fare, let alone Disney’s high standards. Especially disappointing was the exclusion of the comic genius of Robin Williams; didn’t Disney realize his voice IS the Genie? A glaring oversight on their part.
Thank goodness they made up for it with this concluding sequel to the Aladdin saga. While a notch below the original, AATKOT restored most of the magic missing from “Jafar”.
The subplot of Aladdin getting to know his long-lost, charmingly roguish father was well-handled and poignant. But as with the original film, Williams stole the show as the mischievous and all-powerful Genie, a perfect character for Williams to morph from one impersonation and/or satirical situation into another.
I had it on VHS, but definitely want it on DVD to add to my Disney collection. A fitting conclusion to one of Disney’s most treasured animated films.
