What Parents Need to Know

About Aladdin and the King of Thieves

Parents need to know that this third feature in Disney's Aladdin trilogy heralds the return of Robin Williams as the Genie, but too many cutthroats and too little magic and monkeys make this less of a treat for little ones than the original. Also, there are some mature themes in this film. Aladdin must cope with finding the father who abandoned him years before.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it's like when one parent is away. This would be especially useful in families where parents are divorced. How does the parent who doesn't live with you show his or her love to you every day? Young ones will like the music and the more colorful characters, but the story itself may fail to grab them.
