Across the hot desert sands, our intrepid podcasters travel towards a city they've braved once. This is the town of Agrabah and within its walls lies the story of today's episode, the third movie in the Aladdin series, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. It's a happy day in town as the day of Aladdin and Princess Jasmine's wedding day arrives with the return of a voice actor from the first movie, the great Robin Williams contributing his voice talents and matchless one-liners. But humor isn't enough to save the wedding as it's immediately interrupted by a group of bandits who turn out to be the legendary 40 thieves from an entirely different 1,001 Arabian Nights story. It turns out their leader is after a scepter, a magic artifact that possesses the power to grant the answer to any question. Aladdin chooses to ask about his dad, which leads him into the den of the 40 thieves and ultimately a final spin on a magic carpet bound for the greatest treasure that isn't a trite platitude like knowledge or chocolate coins. And why is it that this movie shares so many odd similarities to the movie Krull from the previous episode? Disney magic could be an off-handed explanation for this.
