The Return of Jafar (1994 Video)
7/10
Robin Williams?
28 September 2018
If you watch this made for video sequel to Aladdin and wonder why the Genie sounds a bit like Homer Simpson, that's because he's voiced here by Dan Castellaneta. Why? There was a pay dispute between Robin Williams and Disney, and Disney didn't want to pay; so they went ahead without him.

In this sequel, as the title suggests, Jafar does indeed return. If you saw the first film, you might wonder how he returned since Genie threw him into the Cave of Wonders. Well, it's easy, his sidekick Iago the parrot has something to do with Jafar's eventual escape.

Overall, Return of Jafar is a revenge story. Originally titled The Return of Jafar, it's also known as Aladdin: The Return of Jafar. Robin Williams would later return for the third installment, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
