What A Cartoon Movie! - The Return of Jafar
Added 2020-09-28 03:59:00 +0000 UTCThis month on What A Cartoon Movie! we're tackling the movie that kicked off nearly 20 years of direct-to-video madness for Disney: 1994's The Return of Jafar. Originally designed as a TV movie to launch the upcoming animated series, this Aladdin sequel quickly got bumped up to a home video release that raked in $300 million without diminishing the Disney brand. And while it's an uneven film, it showcases the talents of Disney's Japanese and Australian studios, and proves that Dan Castellaneta makes for the perfect replacement Genie. So sit back, relax, and get ready to be transported to the mythical clamshell days of yore!

Nice! I remember getting this for Easter, I wouldβve been about 8, and watched it that morning. Good times - even though the animation is of less quality, the plot and action was decent! Also maybe this was the tape where it advertised the Aladdin cartoon, with the narrator calling Abis Mal βAbysmalβ π
