In this animated Disney tale, Aladdin (Scott Weinger), Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and the gang are not as free of the menacing sorcerer Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) as they think. Since their last encounter with him, Jafar has been imprisoned in a magic lamp, but an inept thief, Abis Mal (Jason Alexander), is about to change that. Luckily for Aladdin and friends, Jafar's parrot, Iago (Gilbert Gottfried), has switched to their side -- which is good, because they need all the help they can get.

Dawn Sinclair Shapiro Chicago Tribune Aug 16, 2017
The Disney animators have once again created a perfect dreamy, fantasy-like atmosphere that makes the mythical city of Agrabah and its residents seem warm and inviting. Go to Full Review

About what you'd expect from a television pilot abruptly promoted to feature film status over the objections of its own creator. Go to Full Review

...the whole dull affair comes to a close after running a snappy sixty-nine minutes that seems many times longer. The end comes as a welcome relief. Go to Full Review

Adin K @ASKMovies Sep 23, 2026 I missed the first 5 minutes of this movie and the rest was unintelligible garbage. That and the lack of Robin Williams makes this an affront to all things Aladdin. Skip it and just watch Aladdin 3, the king of thieves instead. See more
Hayden T @RT84200025 Aug 24, 2026 This ain't even that good then the first Aladdin movie few parts are okay in the movie but the entire thing of a movie I didn't care at all See more
Harry H @Movies10 Jul 25, 2026 It is what it is a 3 part TV pilot that got turned into a movie. See more
Lincoln L @Linkolnbio2 Jul 17, 2026 It's a lot let good then the first one but it's a fun watch See more
diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 11, 2026 The low-budget, shoddy animation and the glaring absence of Robin Williams strip this film of all the magic of the original classic. With tedious songs and a hastily written script, the return of one of Disney's best villains ends up reduced to a depressing corporate product. See more
Lucas D @RT75552564 Jun 22, 2026 It’s still Alladin!!!! See more
