History YMMV / AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves

* MagnificentBastard: [[PhantomThief Cassim]] is the benevolent and cunning King of the Forty Thieves and Aladdin's thought-to-be [[LukeIAmYourFather long-lost father]]. Having taken to theft a long time ago to try to provide better for his wife and young son, Cassim set his sights on finding the mystical [[MacGuffin Hand of Midas]] in the elusive Vanishing Isle through the magical Oracle. Using a raid on Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding to divert attention, Cassim nearly succeeds in stealing the Oracle and then later arranges a fight between Aladdin and his vicious associate Sa'Luk to prevent Aladdin from being killed for finding the men's hideout. He then successfully steals the Oracle on a third attempt and rescues Aladdin again from Razoul before later being helped by Aladdin to achieve the Hand of Midas and then tricking Sa'Luk into turning himself into gold with it. Cassim then abandons the Hand and is then able to see his son's wedding from a distance before he and Iago the parrot then escape for good.

** I am the Oracle. I can answer any question you ask. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Oracle has been the subject of many edits where Aladdin asks a trivial, impossible, and/or odd question. The memes usually have a third panel where the Oracle says "Any question but that" which wasn't actually in the movie.[[/labelnote]]
** Kod Röv. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A mishearing from the Swedish dub in the Code Red segment where Dan Ekborg's rapid fire pronunciation of Kod Röd make it sound like he is saying Kod Röv, literally meaning Code Ass.[[/labelnote]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: It's not as noticeable, since he's been in two movies and a TV series which used him a lot better... but for all the hype of Robin Williams returning to voice him, the Genie has no function in the plot and barely does anything in the movie apart from providing a couple of wacky song numbers and a lot of celebrity impersonations.

* EvilIsSexy: Although he eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn and has his noble points, Cassim is still the leader of a gang of plunderers and thieves. And [[SilverFox it's clear]] where Aladdin inherited his own handsome looks from.

** At the beginning of the movie, the Genie says to Aladdin, “Somebody's gonna be late for his own wedding!”. [[{{Film/Flubber}} A year later]], he would play a character who misses his own wedding three times and debatedly doesn’t even make it the fourth time.

** Were the other thieves (particularly the fat thief, the last one to fall in line) really convinced by Sa'Luk's arguments that they were happier as CardCarryingVillains, or [[KnowWhenToFoldEm did some of them just pretend to as Sal'Luk started to win over the others, outnumbering them after he'd already shown himself capable of thrashing them single-handedly.]]

* CriticalDissonance: While critics acknowledged the film was better than ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', it only holds a 33% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (albeit with only eleven reviews total). The fans are more forgiving, however, with a 50% approval.

** The rousing VillainSong ''Are You In Or Out?"

** "Party in Agrabah" (including the reprise) serves as a great opening number, setting up the excitement for Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.
** Of course, the ending's reprise of "Arabian Nights". Not only is it a great {{Bookend}} from the first movie's opening, but it's lyrics hide a very special meaning...

** While Sa'Luk is clearly a BloodKnight [[TheResenter with open disdain for Cassim's more merciful leadership]], he warns Cassim early on that looting the wedding could be "another wild goose chase". This may suggest that Sa'Luk was once just as loyal to Cassim [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating as the rest of the thieves]], but over the years he became frustrated and disillusioned when they kept failing to find the Oracle.

** Years earlier, ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' had claimed ''Aladdin'' had copied the mine cart scene from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' for Aladdin’s initial escape attempt from the Cave of Wonders. Now this film comes along and casts Creator/JohnRhysDavies as Aladdin’s father and takes inspiration from ''The Last Crusade''. What’s more, Disney would eventually own both franchises entirely.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: For a sequel villain, Sa'Luk left quite an impact, due to his menacing personality, his striking design, and Jerry Orbach's deliciously sinister voice work.

** "There's a Party Here in Agrabah" (including the reprise) serves as a great opening number, setting up the excitement for Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.

* HoYay: Between Abu and Iago during "There's A Party Here In Agrabah", specifically with the way they link arms (er... ''wings'' in Iago's case) before getting on the carpet.

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the first verse of the Croatian version of "There's A Party Here In Agrabah", the third line is changed from "People pouring in from near and far" to "There are even guests coming from Zagreb" -- with the word "Zagreb" rhyming with "Agrabah" from the first line nearly perfectly and also being the name for Croatia's capital city.

* CriticalDissonance: While critics acknowledged the film was better than ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', it only holds a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (albeit with only eleven reviews total). The fans are more forgiving, however, with a 50% approval.

* BrokenBase: Genie's antics in the film. Some found them too annoying, especially the numerous references to other Robin Williams roles. Others found them ActuallyPrettyFunny.

** The voice John Rhys Davies uses to voice Cassim is the exact same one he would later use to voice [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gimli]].

* SpiritualAdaptation: This movie has [[InNameOnly almost no connection]] to ''Literature/AliBabaAndTheFortyThieves'' story-wise, and is more like an ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' movie with Aladdin characters. A lot of plot elements, including Aladdin's long-lost father and a cursed artifact which punishes the greedy, mirror ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' specifically.[[note]]Funnily enough, years earlier ''Magazine/DisneyAdventures'' had accused the original ''Aladdin'' of copying ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' with its Cave of Wonders escape.[[/note]]

** "Welcome to the Forty Thieves": Never has it sounded so cool to offered a position in a gang of outlaws.
