Definitely an improvement on 'The Return of Jafar', but 'Aladdin and the King of Thieves' still lacks that certain something which stops me from classing it as any good.

It's great to see Robin Williams back as Genie, he is as funny as you'd expect and I enjoyed his performance; despite it arguably featuring too many parodies of pop culture, though some are rather amusing to be fair.

The rest of the cast, aside from Aladdin, take a backseat which is disappointing. That is largely due to John Rhys-Davies' Cassim. I like Davies, but I didn't feel any connection with his character; likewise the rest of the villains.

The premise is alright, more creative than in the preceding film. It's just missing that added oomph, to the point that it feels like a story that was intended to be/should've been limited to a 20-odd minute television episode; it would be more fitting as a mini adventure, rather than a full-length production plot.

All that, along with the fact that the songs are pretty dull for the second time running, means this is a film that is very forgettable unfortunately.
