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

"You'd Be Surprised What You Can Live Through"

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.

This isn't a bad film, but it pales in comparison to the original.
