The Return of Jafar
The evil Jafar escapes from the magic lamp as an all-powerful genie, ready to plot his revenge against Aladdin. From battling elusive villains atop winged horses, to dodging flames inside an exploding lava pit, it's up to Aladdin - with Princess Jasmine and the outrageously funny Genie by his side - to save the kingdom once and for all.

Genie was originally voiced by Robin Williams in the 1992 film. #Aladdin

unlabelledView post →As a kid, I watched The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves more than I watched the original film.
unlabelledView post →in the 90s I worked at a supermarket that had a little TV/VCR setup in its food court which played tapes all day so I have seen Mrs Doubtfire, Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar, A Goofy Movie, two Wishbone episodes, Macaulay Culkin in Pagemaster, and The Big Green approx 8,000,000 times each
unlabelledView post →ALADDIN: THE RETURN OF JAFAR is actually a pretty decent flick. A bit more budget and development so it could look and the songs sound more like a feature film and it could've been something special. I particularly like the running line of "You'd be surprised what you can live through."
unlabelledView post →I feel like The Return of Jafar was actually Jafar: The Movie. At least in my head it is...
unlabelledView post →Yeah, I wish I could say, "Kids have taste!!" but honestly, prior to that, I'd be happy watching anything. I think the only other movie I had an inkling on that movies could be bad was Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar the year before.
unlabelledView post →Movie: The Return of Jafar (Disney+) I definitely would not have watched this movie if it weren't for this Kingdom Hearts playthrough thingy that I'm doing lol Disney did NOT do sequels good back in the day #filmsky #animation
unlabelledView post →Remember how Aladdin the animated series started with The Return of Jafar movie? They could do the harker plot as like the pilot movie, then have the series itself taken place with Mina and Lucy. And the season finale could have Jonathan finally arriving like "come with me if you want to live" 😂
unlabelledView post →"2.5", is that the thing that happens after X-2 where Tidus kicks what he thinks is a blitzball but it's a mine and he dies again and Sin comes back again in the style of "Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar"? It's written like bad fan fiction and a cheap direct-to-VHS children's movie sequel combined 😂
unlabelledView post →Aladdin The Return of Jafar: Massive downgrade from the first movie. The animation is crap, with some glaringly noticeable continuity issues, the story feels thrown together, not to mention Aladdin being written completely out of character (Continue)
unlabelledView post →That's the third and finale movie. The movie before that was The Return Of Jafar which wasn't anywhere near as good. You can absolutely skip both the series AND the first movie and only miss one change which you can work out yourself pretty easily.

unlabelledView post →It kinda was. As I understand it Megamind 2 was sorta the Return of Jafar or Stitch: The Movie of Megamind where it’s like the pilot movie to set up the new status quo.
unlabelledView post →Fuck it, everything is a Christmas movie. The Fellowship of the Ring is a Christmas movie The Green Mile is a Christmas movie Human Centipede is a Christmas movie Aladdin 2: the Return of Jafar is a Christmas movie Robocop? Oh buddy, you better believe that's a Christmas movie.
unlabelledView post →Sure, "*movie name* 2: Electric Boogaloo" is a classic funny gag, but I've come to prefer "*movie name* 2: The Return Of Jafar" because of the implication that no matter what the first one was about, Jafar WILL return in the second one.

unlabelledView post →September 19, 2026 - Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar This is like the most movie ever, I really liked Iago and Genie however that was pretty much it?? It's fun seeing Homer slip out of Dan Castellaneta when he was doing Genie.
unlabelledView post →I feel like why Moana 2 wasn’t as good was because that it was originally planed as a streaming series. After films like Strange World and Wish flopped, Disney converted the show into a movie to make up for lost profits. Basically going the Return of Jafar/Direct to Video sequel route.
unlabelledView post →The Return of Jafar (1994) It's obviously not even close to the original film, but I can't help enjoy this quite a bit. It feels like a reunion with some old friends. Even if there's a bit forced drama, and one of them sounds a little off. Killer Bees

unlabelledView post →Depends on the movie, and I remember watching "Aladdin: The Return of Jafar" and "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" way back when I was much younger. And the first example was the first direct to video sequel movie made by Disney as a whole.

unlabelledView post →6. The Return of Jafar - 5/10 Back to the Disney marathon once again. This one isn’t as bad as I remember, but it’s also kinda just a fine enough TV Pilot. Highlight is for sure Jafar, with the worst part of the film being how much Aladdin and Jasmine fall from grace.
unlabelledView post →#Mufasa is the most direct-to-video movie I've seen since The Return of Jafar. #IYKYK
unlabelledView post →The problem with a lot of the negative reviews of Moana 2 is they focus too much on how it compares to the original instead of other "this is the pilot for a TV series" sequels like The Return of Jafar, Stitch! The Movie and Tangled: Before Ever After. #Moana2
unlabelledView post →The Return of Jafar was a great movie and I won't stand for its slander. Aladdin 3 or Pocahontas 2, however, I'd be willing to slander. 😂
unlabelledView post →It's funny (and maybe worrying) that Moana 2 was originally meant to be a show before being shoehorned into a movie format, because that's exactly what happened to The Return of Jafar, and that's the movie that kick-started Disney's low-budget, straight-to-video sequels era...
unlabelledView post →"The Return of Jafar" was a disappointment compared to the first film, with one of the major letdowns being Robin Williams not reprising his role as the genie, which was a significant drawback for the franchise. While I appreciated the continuation of the story and the return of beloved characters, particularly Aladdin, the film fell short in terms of animation quality and overall execution. It felt rushed and lacking the polish and detail that would have elevated it to the level of a new…
neutral · AI labelView post →Not a fan really of the this movie. Mainly because no one can play the genie like Robin Williams can. I found the genie to be pretty annoying in this movie. And he's my favorite character. So that says something.
