What I'm Not Going Back Inside

Nothing terrible, but 'The Return of Jafar' is a sequel that comes nowhere near the production it follows.

The premise is pretty plain, with zero sticking out as great to me even just minutes after viewing. Its animation is OK, about the bare minimum you'd expect. At least it's a short watch at just 69 minutes.

The cast are fine, though the absence of Robin Williams as Genie is stark. Dan Castellaneta comes in with a decent performance to replace Williams, even if the whole time I could only hear Homer Simpson. Jason Alexander's Abis Mal is kinda forgettable, while Jonathan Freeman isn't as menacing as Jafar. Gilbert Gottfried remains amusing as Iago, though.

Disney most certainly have worse animated sequels, though there are still better ones out there. A meh film, especially when compared to 'Aladdin'.

It's actually a fairly decent sequel, especially for a Disney straight-to-video one. Obviously pales in comparison to the original, but it has a couple alright songs and is fun. I may be biased though, since I was introduced to it at a young age.
