Added DiffLines:

* Razoul gets a few moments in this movie, while still being a {{Jerkass}}:
** He's personally overseeing all of the guests coming into the wedding. The man may not like the groom, but he cares about his people's safety. It's a shame that Cassim was dressed as a wealthy trader.
** When his men are outnumbered by the Forty Thieves and curb-stomped, he orders them to their posts and to fight anyway. Heck, he even charges on on thief head-on and merely gets the wind knocked out of him.
** While trusting Sa'Luk was an IdiotBall move on his part, we see that he had the sense to take a retinue of men to the hideout. After his second-in-command gets the password correct, Razoul gives a smirk. Later, there's a cut that the dozen or so men captured thirty-one of the seven thieves. No small feat, given how they were beaten earlier!
** Later, Sa'Luk informs them that Aladdin's father is the King of Thieves. Razoul knows that arresting Aladdin is no good, and [[EveryoneHasStandards he doesn't want to since Aladdin wouldn't want his own wedding threatened]]. Instead, he has men posted outside the room where the gifts are being stored and catches Cassim in the act of stealing the Oracle. When Cassim tries to grab a sword, Razoul reveals his men are armed with arrows, forcing the man to surrender. Aladdin has no response when Razoul reveals that Cassim hadn't changed at all and he broke the law, as well as SacredHospitality. Razoul at least doesn't blame Aladdin for what happened, putting all the blame on Cassim and his "accomplice" Iago.
** He also catches who he thinks is the King of Thieves frolicking around the palace. Razoul is put out to learn that it was Aladdin wearing his father's cloak, but says he's reporting the "Prince of Thieves" to the Sultan.


Added DiffLines:

* The assault on the Seven Thieves at the Vanishing Isle:
** Genie turns into Rambo and starts firing a machine gun at them. It's only that they hit the floor that no one is injured.
** Abu, Jasmine, and Carpet confront the Seven Thieves. The latter smirk and prepare to assault the group. Jasmine steps aside and gestures for Carpet to do the initial honors. Carpet rams into the thieves, knocking the wind out of several. Jasmine then dives in and starts punching them out. She later uses the temple statues on the Isle to take some of the thieves out of the fight. It cuts after to them retreating back to the ship. ActionGirl to the end, and a thinker.
* The Sultan's TakeAThirdOption towards the end. He knows his son-in-law and daughter just saved Cassim from a FateWorseThanDeath, and Cassim did try stealing from him twice. Instead of imprisoning Cassim, he lets the man attend the third wedding, with a promise of good behavior, and commutes his and Iago's sentence to exile. That's pretty reasonable, especially with Iago mentioning that he said goodbye to everyone, including the Sultan.

Added DiffLines:

* When Sa'luk tries to manipulate the other thieves who escaped arrest into joining him, they initially aren't having any of it and attack him. This is a good awesome moment for the thieves, but it pales next to Sa'luk's response. He [[OffHandBackhand casually beats all of them up single-handedly]] while singing a catchy VillainSong that gradually wins them back to his side.

* In meta, the movie itself. The direct-to-video Disney sequels are notorious for their low quality with ''very'' few exceptions. "King of Thieves" manages to not only be one of these exceptions, but one that almost reaches the level quality of the original film, especially in regards to its storytelling and animation. It is especially impressive in comparison to its predecessor SoOkayItsAverage ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar''.

Added a Iago example in the scene with Aladdin and Cassim's falling out

Added DiffLines:

** Iago also deserves a mention in this scene. When Aladdin starts to head back to Agrabah to face the consequences of his actions, Iago stays with him. It doesn't even to occur to him to leave with Cassim until Aladdin gives him permission, and even then, he asks for confirmation before flying off. That's right, Iago was willing to go back with Aladdin, where for all he knew he would be soon be sharing a dungeon cell with him.

Added DiffLines:

* While the Genie was obviously overreacting, it was amazing to see how far he was willing to go to ensure that Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding went well without anyone causing trouble like in the beginning of the movie. Not to mention that Genie immediately went on the defensive when Cassim introduced himself as the King of Thieves. Genie was willing to protect Aladdin from what he initially viewed as a threat to Aladdin's safety.

* The scene where Aladdin and Cassim have their falling out is both sad and as well as awesome. Aladdin would spend his life in prison than allow Jasmine to endure the pain of him leaving her. It is probably the most mature thing Aladdin has said as well as done in the whole series.

** It must be said that this, just like when Cassim caught the Hand with his cape (as mentioned above), is a sign of his guile - it's a good sign of how he took control of the thieves back then, and he proves it here because he ''knows'' that Sa'luk will make the fatal mistake of catching it with his hand (which most people will attempt, rather than using their brains like him). Suddenly it makes sense that the violent BloodKnight (implicitly) lost leadership from him, and it parallels [[LikeFatherLikeSon his son's cunning defeat of Jafar in the first movie - we know where he gets his wits from now]].

* When Aladdin finds Cassim, he's also captured by the Forty Thieves. Here's the problem; if Cassim shows Aladdin mercy, he'll look soft in the eyes of his men, but he doesn't want to kill his long-lost son. So, he convinces them to give Aladdin a fighting chance, and not by outright saying it. He ''dithers'' over the subject, dragging it out so much that everyone, even his loudest critic Sa'luk becomes interested in this Third Option Cassim is mulling over. Being a GuileHero must run in the family.
