It's the penultimate entry of the Summer of Sequels, so it felt appropriate to return to Agrabah for one last magic carpet ride with Aladdin and the gang. Including a returning Robin Williams voicing Genie, who they really let off the leash for this one. But for all those obscure impressions and an actually halfway decent story, ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES is still a Disney direct-to-video sequel, so its not without its shortcomings. The animation is, shall we say, janky. Jasmine is done dirty in pretty much every imaginable way. The songs are, well, tolerable, but mostly because they are rip-offs of the songs from the first movie. Basically, saying its better than Return of Jafar is a textbook case of being damned with faint praise.
