Robin Williams is back as the Genie,cool,huh?,this movie starts out when Al and Jas are finally getting married,when the wedding gets demolished by the 40 thieves,and Aladdin's dad is really alive!,and this adventure is a father and son expedition for the golden hand of Midas,you'll surely enjoy it!

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.

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'.

I got it to replace the VHS that I had when my son was little. That was over 20 years ago. The DVD was in excellent quallity and perfect condition. My grandchildren and I watched it together and loved it. I would suggest it to anyone that mentions it and I have already suggested it to my friends.

Aladdin is the Best of the Best! Robin Williams improvisations, the superb music, cast and story are all unsurpassed. Highly recommended.

I really like these types of movies. So I was really happy when I was able to get this on DVD.

Got this movie for my 3 yr old granddaughter. She loves it.
Robin Williams as the genie is great and very entertaining.
General theme is along the lines of the classic Disney films.
But this has the added plus of introducing my granddaughter to
another "cultural" setting. Good for brainstorming with the power
and wonder of the genie and the magic carpet.

I think it took way longer to arrive than it should have. It shipped from California to California. Even by snail mail it shouldn't have taken over a week to arrive. When we finally got it, it was in pristine condition. We are happy with the item but not the shipping time.

Loved this movie as a kid, and watching it now just cracks me up and makes me love it even more. Great for children and adults alike. It's humor appeals to all ages and, once again, Disney does not disappoint!

The first Aladdin was by far the best, the second one was a horrible piece of dribble, but this one isn't too bad. Could it be that they had to make the script better in an effort to snag back Robin Williams? Well, if that's what happened, it worked. Still not up to par with the original, but definitely worth the time to watch it.
