"Aladdin and the King of Thieves" serves as the third installment in the Aladdin franchise, predating the live-action adaptation. Despite my deep affection for Aladdin and Jasmine, this animated film falls short and undermines the franchise...

Way better then then part 2. Also Robin Williams is back as the genie so he was funny and the movie was entertaining to watch.
