The Return of Jafar Trailers

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.

There aren't too many good disney sequels out there, but I think The Return of Jafar is one of them. This movie has a different tone compared to the first one, and that is something I like about this movie unlike other disney sequels. The plot is more interesting since not only Jafar has returned, but he is now a genie, so now a more tougher challenge awaits for Aladdin and his friends. I think it's a fine sequel to Aladdin, and most certainly watchable. So I don't really understand the criticism this movie gets, as I think people are being quite harsh. It's good for what it is, and it's still interesting and watchable if you ask me. Yes, Jafar is one of my favourite disney villains out there, so I would of course rate this movie highly. I think it's one of the best disney sequels there is to offer.

I hadn't seen Aladdin since I was a kid, and decided to give it another shot. It still holds up, and I still enjoyed it as an adult.I had heard about the sequel, but not much beyond the fact that it existed and was straight to home video. I decided to give it a shot after becoming enamoured with the first again, since I was curious if it was actually that bad. Well, the answer is yes. I read that it was basically taken from what was meant to be TV episodes, and it really shows. It feels like a TV kids cartoon, with weak story (with built in predictable TV tropes) and forgettable songs. It might be OK for little kids dying for more Aladdin after seeing the first, but I'm not even sure if all of them would enjoy it. In the end it wasn't completely horrible, but it was a pretty disappointing sequel. While the second film is rarely as good as the first, this one felt like a soul-less cash grab made without the love that was put into the original.

I had this film on VHS back in the day and i just re-watched it today it was good but not as good as i remembered it the first film was better but still a pretty fun sequel. The problems with it was the animation the characters colors looked more darker and the Genie looked less Blue and his face looked kinda weird also he was kinda weak in the final battle. Jafar is great as always and i must say i liked this ending better than the Original movies ending more Genie Jafar is always great probably my favorite look of him. Anyways if you loved the fist film you're going to love this one also but the absence of Robin Williams as the Genie is kinda meh but still he's good as always.

Aladdin is my favorite Disney-movie. It took a whole lot of years from the first time I watched that one and till now, when I watched the sequel. And I'm kinda glad. Had I seen this when I was little, I might have been disappointed. Why? Well, let me tell ya!The Return of Jafar is not even comparable to Aladdin. Aladdin (1992) is one of Disneys greatest movies. The Return of Jafar is a cheap looking typical made-for-TV animation feature. The animation is cheap. I mean, it doesn't even seem to follow Disneys own 12 principles of animation. It's shoddy, jittery and sloppy. A lot of the time the drawings are down right bad. It's very clear that the budget for this was just a fraction of the budget for Aladdin (1992).Genies voice has been replaced with Home.. uhm, Dan Castellaneta. He did a good job, though. Besides, I actually prefer the Norwegian dub, for Aladdin, so I'm not very familiar with Williams Genie anyway.The movie is not all bad, though. It's short, which is good. It's nice to see these characters again, cheap as they may look. The story is, well, there hardly is a story at all, really. It even has some plot holes. (not that I care) But the movie is, you know, made for kids, and gets the job done I guess. It's just very generic, and nothing like the excellent quality that is Aladdin (1992).Just have to add: I feel so mean when I slam the animation so hard, because someone still spent hour upon hour drawing this stuff. Animation is beyond time consuming. I know, because I've done it myself. OK. Anyway, you'll find plenty other, better animations feature films than this. That's my last word!
