The Return of Jafar Audience Reviews

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
studioAT You can't blame Disney for wanting to cash in on the success of 'Aladdin' with this straight to video sequel, it's what they do. But there can be no denying that this sequel isn't much good, lacking in all the magic and wit that made the original so good.Of course the notable thing it's missing is Robin Williams as the Genie. Don't get me wrong, Dan Castellaneta is a good stand in (he's Homer Simpson no less) but he can't match what Robin Williams did in this role.If you're a fan of the original it's worth a watch but it's OK, certainly not spectacular.
Finfrosk86 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!
Angels_Review So… wow… what should I really talk about here? It's bad, so it's hard to center on just one thing. The characters are choppy, the story line is unexplained for the most part, and the voices make me cringe most of the time especially Iago. I mean, It was fine when he had very little screen time but this feels like its catering to him. I mean, Iago's singing voice is so freaken bad! IT HURTS MY EARS! More on that in the voices part.According to Genie, he is supposed to have less power now that he's free but we see him doing all the things he used to before he was free. There is also the fact Aladdin hasn't married Jasmine and yet even though they are engaged, he does a lot of stupid stuff in order to get money and give it to the poor. What is he? Robin Hood of the desert? The Personalities of all the characters might have been good in the first, but they should have grown by now. Also, the Genie is way to annoying.Seriously, they just milked this series for all it was worth. Even the 'new villain' feels off and I don't even know if we can consider him a villain. He seems to be too dopey to be a villain.The animation is cheep and unappealing for most of the time. Most of the wonderful styles seem under played and I think part of it was the long gap between the two movies. There is also a lot of inconsistencies in the artwork.There are way too many singing in this show again. And it has to be Iago's singing it looks like it. Again, I HATE THE SINGING! I don't see anime doing this all the time… and please don't try to tell me about an anime they did like this.
Arlis Fuson The annoying parrot gets free from the lamp where Jafar was condemned and he joins up with the good guys and then the genie returns from vacation and then Jafar makes his way back, it was boring. Disneys first ever direct to video sequel and with good reasoning.I am not a big fan of Disney, especially how they take a story and give it a ton of sequels with a lame story just so kids will HAVE to have it and they can make more money on it. This movies production values were low and not as beautiful as part one. Robin Williams being gone hurt it as well, because, lets face it, the genie is the star. I also hated how he had his cuffs back like they were fancy bracelets because Disney felt it "looked better". I also hated the music with passion, these songs were so outrageously stupid.Most of the cast is back, Godfrey is on board as the parrot, Jason Alexander shows up here doing a voice and Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson) does the genie this time.It was a bad movie and I was bored out of my mind. Kids may like it, if they are the kind of kids that like all cartoons. 2/10 stars.
