This 1994, direct-to-video follow-up to Aladdin (it's actually four episodes of the Aladdin television program, back-to-back) is a wash-out compared to the Robin Williams-driven animation feature that kicked off the franchise. The story partially involves the villainous Jafar's parrot--Iago--trying to leave his master and befriend Aladdin and Jasmine. Williams is nowhere to be found, unfortunately; the genie's voice is provided by Dan Castellaneta, and the difference shows. --Tom Keogh

Aladdin's (Scott Weinger) life is going well. Living in the palace suits him, and he has turned his skills as a thief into a Robin Hood act.
Unfortunately, things are about to get messy. Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) and Iago (Gilbert Gottfried) have managed to get out of the Cave of Wonders. Jafar has one thing on his mind, revenge, and he wants to get back to Agrabah as quickly as possible. His luck improves when his lamp falls into the hands of Abis Mal, the thief (Jason Alexander).
Iago wants to get back into the palace himself. When he accidentally gets on Aladdin's good side, things seem to be going well. But then Jafar shows up. Whose side is Iago really on? And is there a way to fight an all powerful genie?
This was the beginning of Disney's direct to video sequels. I must admit, I enjoyed it the first few times I saw it, but it doesn't hold up. The animation is far inferior to the original. A couple of the songs are catchy, but they aren't in the same league as the songs from the original at all. The story is decent, although I hate what it did to the ending of the original. That ending was just perfect, so bring Jafar back so easily didn't make me happy. I'm also not a fan of Aladdin lying again so easily. Dan Castellaneta steps into the role of the Blue Genie, and he does a good job in Robin Williams' absence. The story is decent, but it is darker and potentially scarier to young kids.

I hated this film. I loved Aladdin and thought this one would be as cool as the original is. Booooy was I wrong! The sultan's eyebrows dissapear at dinner and it's just plain rotten!

I Love This Film. This Is For The Record Book, Aladdin Jasmine The Genie Abu And Of Course Iago, Did A Super Job For Destroying The Evil Jafar. You'll Be Surprised What You Can Live Through.

I just purchased the video today, and I'm sad to say that it was a huge dissapointment. The first thing that caught my eye was that the animation lacked the elegance present in the first movie. Very ''Saturday-morning-cartoon-like''. That aside, the plot was remarkably weak. I kept waiting for the ''BOOM'' to come in. It didn't. Another huge dissapointment were the songs, wich had no meaning for me, it seemed as if they were just written in to prolong the movie. I definately think this sequel could have been done better, but that's just my opinion.
