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.
