=) Not only is this made-for-TV follow-up a hundred times better than The Return of Jafar, but I honestly think it's genuinely good I like the dynamic between Aladdin and Cassim, the running time was more sufficient, the songs were memorable, it was a great sendoff for the characters we've known for years, and while still not movie quality the animation is pretty good on its own (with actual shading, lighting, and occasional camera revolving) at times it was really intense (I love this movie). In a way it's like the animated equivalent of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in that it's a father-son adventure where Aladdin meets his once thought to be lost father, Cassim, who has been lording over the forty thieves (the awesome thing is that he's voiced by John Rhys-Davies). In hindsight, The Return of Jafar didn't need to be a movie (least not one that lasted sixty-eight minutes) I liked the idea of them bringing back the characters, but I think it would've worked best as a three-part pilot for a series.įinally there was the second made-for-TV Disney animated feature under Eisner's reign and the final one centering on Aladdin 1996's Aladdin and the King of Thieves, inspired by Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, which Tad Stones helmed on his own. I don't think the sequel is awful, and I have to give it credit for trying something risky by establishing a continuous franchise but because it was made on a small budget the animation is not as fluid as the previous film and the color palette sometimes feels weird without any shading. delayed much?) when unbeknownst to them the evil villain Jafar has been freed from the lamp that Aladdin tricked him into at the end of the first movie, by the thief Abis Mal while this is going on Gilbert Gottfried's Iago released himself and decided to turn a new leaf, but it takes him awhile to be accepted.

In this movie Aladdin is still hanging around with Jasmine in Agrabah ( not married. So then in 1994 Chip'n Dale: Rescue Rangers creators Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove wrote, produced, and directed the first made-for-TV animated sequel under the Michael Eisner reign The Return of Jafar which followed up on the events of the first Aladdin.
