You remember the Disney classic Aladdin. The one with the villain who has a snake staff in his hand and a sarcastic red parrot on his shoulder. Remember how he got trapped ina black magic lamp at the end. Well, he's returned. Jafar is back and out for revenge aginst the heroes. With a slapstick thief as his master and Iago having abandoned him, Jafar returns to Agrabah determined to make Aladdin pay in the worst possible manner. The ultimate powers of magic are at his command. He is more powerful than Genie, more cunning than the Magic Carpet, and more ruthless than ever. There is only one hope for the heroes: they can only be saved by Iago, Jafar's former partner in crime. Featuring new songs, one of which is Jafar's villain song (something they didn't give to him in the first film): Nothing in the World, I'm Lookin' Out for Me, You're Only Second Rate (Jafar's one), and I Can't Forget About Love. However, for Disney fans who admired Aladdin for its quality in animation will feel that this film is a bit of a letdown in that field.The background is not as spacious, character fluidity has slowed, and Robin Williams did not return to play the Genie in this film. All in all, The Return of Jafar is a great for all those who love Disney's Aladdin saga, and for those who agree that he is one of the greatest film villains ever. Walt Disney's The Return of Jafar, it is not second rate.Read full review
I am putting together a Disney movie collection for my daughter; now 18 years old, she just loves these movies. She wants these movies for her children some day too, so I decided to get them on DVD so she can have them forever. We have them all in VHS, but they are quite old with skips in the tapes. By purchasing the DVD version; we noticed a quality picture with much better sound.
You know, usually I do not like sequels. It is like, if you cannot explain it all in the first shot, why bother? However, instead of dragging on a story and beating it to death, Disney brings out a whole 'nother bag full of fun and tricks that make the entire family - young ad old - laugh and feel just that - young and old (!) - again! Love it! Apparently others do, too, for it is hard for me to win some of these auctions!!! ha ha
I bought this movei because I was raised on Disney movies (Aladdin being one of my all-time favorites) and I never actually got to see the second one. I liked it a lot because it had more of that infamous Aladdin-Jasmine romance, but it was a bit on the short side. The musical numbers also weren't as phenomenal as the original Aladdin movie, but then again, it would be hard to top it!
Good follow-up movie to Aladdin. My grandson is now waiting to watch Aladdin #3. Not quite as good as Aladdin with Robin Williams but you can never get quite as good as #1. But kids don't notice that. Would recommend it as I have never seen a BAD Disney movie. Still better than most other movies on the market now and as usual a great family time movie.

I enjoy buying Disney movies for my children to watch with the entire family and not have to worry about foul language, nudity or violence. My girls enjoyed watching Alladin and wanted to watch The Return of Jafar as well. They thought it was great watching a movie in that a poor homeless young adult had a dream of changing his life and he acomplished his dream and never gave up even though there was a bad guy trying to take over the kingdom. Alladin was able to save the Kingdom for his new Father-in-law. Great movie the the entire family.
My daughter will be so excited to get this for Christmas....has been asking for this for months!!!!!
