In Disney's second straight-to-video sequel to
Aladdin, Aladdin (voice of Scott Weinger) and Princess Jasmine (voice of Linda Larkin) have finally decided to marry, but when the big day finally arrives, the ceremony is thrown into chaos by the unexpected arrival of the Forty Thieves, who are searching for the enchanted Hand of Midas, a charm that will turn all it touches into gold. Aladdin makes the shocking discovery that his father (voice of
John Rhys-Davies), long believed dead, is actually the leader of this infamous band of thieves, and when his father falls into peril, Aladdin must rescue him -- with the genie of the lamp (voice of
Robin Williams) on hand to help.
Robin Williams, whose voice work was considered a key factor in the success of the original
Aladdin, returned to the franchise for this film after bowing out of the first sequel,
The Return of Jafar, due to a financial dispute (in
The Return of Jafar, the genie was voiced by
Dan Castellaneta). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
