Robin Williams makes a welcome return in this second sequel to the 1992 Disney animated adventure, Aladdin (his sharp voice characterisation as Genie was sadly missed in the first, The Return of Jafar). Here, he's on hand to help when Aladdin discovers that his father is actually the leader of the infamous "40 thieves". The animation is 24-carat Disney and adults will be just as entertained as the youngsters thanks to a well thought-out plot and witty vocals from a cast that also includes Jerry Orbach (Jennifer Grey's dad in Dirty Dancing) and character actor John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark).

Legendary secrets are revealed as Aladdin and his friends—Jasmine, Abu, Carpet and, of course, the always entertaining Genie—face all sorts of terrifying threats and make some exciting last-minute escapes pursuing the King Of Thieves and his villainous crew.
