“The original is one of my favourite Disney movies. This movie isnu0026#39;t terrible, but it is fair to say, it is the worst out of the Aladdin trilogy. If you want a really good DTV sequel, check out Aladdin and the King of Thieves (the best DTV sequel) or Beauty and the Beast:The Enchanted Christmas.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters were less appealing here.Most of the voice actors return, but all of them sound different. Aladdin and Jasmine were less mature here, as well as the Sultan. Jafar wasnu0026#39;t as frightening or as humorous as he was in the first movie, and Iago is sometimes annoying, unlike King of Thieves, when he is actually funny. Dan Castellanetta does a serviceable job as the genie(he is funny at times), but it just isnu0026#39;t the same without Robin Williams. The worst character was Abis Mal, I absolutely hate that character. He just grates on my nerves. The animation sometimes looks nice, but at other times, it has a rather nasty quality about it. Almost all the characters look poorly drawn, and I really didnu0026#39;t want to say this. Even the Genie wasnu0026#39;t up to top animation standard. It wasnu0026#39;t the backgrounds as such, some were very nice, it was the character animation that was the problem.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs for the songs, they arenu0026#39;t dreadful, but they are the weakest batch in any Disney movie. Iagou0026#39;s singing made my ears bleed, and u0026quot;Second Rateu0026quot; sounded as though Jonathan Freeman was struggling with the song. (No wonder, it is very hard)I donu0026#39;t know about you but the old woman in the chair bit I found creepy as a kid. The best song in my opinion is u0026quot;there is nothing in the world quite like a Friendu0026quot; which has a decent melody. Also Liz Callaway has a nice singing voice. I really liked the incidental music though, and the scene of the winged horses.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story was the biggest problem, it went at such a slow pace. Also the villain back for revenge formula was over-familiar, and has been done so much better before. I also disliked the fact that Iago seemed to be the main character, when he was truly irritating here, and some of the dialogue is very lame, there was one part when Aladdin says something that is meant to be funny and he raises his eyebrows cheekily, but I found myself groaning than laughing. Iu0026#39;m sorry, thatu0026#39;s my view. On a positive note, this film actually has one of the best climaxes in a DTV sequel, and the voice acting if different was decent especially Jonathan Freeman as Jafar.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a very disappointing sequel, especially when it was released two years after the original. but on the bright side, it isnu0026#39;t as bad as the Cinderella and Jungle Book sequels, which are both thinly plotted. 6/10.
