Amazon.co.uk Review
Robin Williams returns as the voice of the hyperactive genie in this, the second direct-to-video sequel to Disney's hit animated feature. Aladdin, the street beggar turned Prince, risks all to find his father among the cut-throat 40 thieves and joins his quest to find a Midas-like stone that turns everything it touches into gold. A significant cut above most made-for-video animation, this energetic adventure largely leaves Princess Jasmine and the genie behind for a father-and-son quest. Guest voice Jerry Orbach suggests Sean Connery with his thick-as-molasses delivery as the master thief Sa'luk and, despite his limited screen time, Williams once again delights with his wild flights of fantasy as the big blue Genie. A rousing tale full of last-minute escapes and spectacular, kid-sized thrills that even parents will find entertaining. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Before I begin, I'd just like to clarify that this is the third Aladdin film. It was always Disney's intentions to have an Aladdin trilogy - there are NOT five films!
In this third outing Aladdin and Jasmine finally get married only to be disrupted by the forty thieves who's leader just so happens to be Aladdin's father...
I thought the story of this film was very good and the humour is just fantastic (provided by the genie in Robin Williams naturally). Unlike other Disney sequels all of the original voice cast return. Some new characters are established also, rather than having to rely on old villains. These are most notably the forty thieves who are just hilarious.
After sequels like 'Return to Neverland' and 'Jungle Book 2', you'll be asking yourself why out of all the sequels this was not released in the cinema.
As for the DVD, I believe there are no extras which is the only disapointment but like the majority of Disney DVDs the picture quality never looked so good.

I thought this film was actually really good. There was no jafar but robin williams thankfully returned for the voice of the genie. I have the soundtrack of this and all three aladdin films - all the songs are very catchy!!
5 stars from me and a good buy!!

The big day has finally arrived. The entire kingdom has turned out for Aladdin (Scott Weinger) and Jasmine's (Linda Larkin) wedding. Thanks to the Genie (Robin Williams), it looks to be a spectacular day.
But then tragedy strikes. The 40 Thieves attack the wedding and try to steal just one present. Yes, that's right. But that present turns out to be an oracle that will answer one question. And through that oracle, Aladdin learns that his father is still alive.
What he doesn't realize is that his father, Cassim (John Rhys-Davies), is the leader of the thieves. The family reunion pits Aladdin against Sa'luk (Jerry Orbach) who isn't happy with the way that Cassim has been running the gang. How will Jasmine react to the identity of Aladdin's father? Can Aladdin reform his dad? And how many different Disney movies can Robin Williams reference?
This movie was better then I remembered. Having Robin Williams back as the voice of Genie really made a huge difference. And his many Disney references absolutely cracked me up. The story moved along fairly quickly, when it was sabotaged by the songs. While some of the songs were fun in the last one, here they are all boring. They should have taken them out and just let the movie be that much shorter.
This is still only an average follow up to a great film. But fans of the original will enjoy it, and it will keep kids entertained.

Do not buy this cynical rip-off of the original
I bought this because I thought it was the original authentic Aladdin story. It isn't - it only covers the end of the story when Aladdin marries Princess Jasmin. Read more
