What happens

The Return of Jafar (retroactively titled Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar on later releases) is a 1994 American direct-to-video animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It is the first sequel to Disney's 1992 animated feature film, Aladdin, made by combining the planned first five episodes of the Aladdin animated television series into a feature-length film. Released on May 20, 1994, in North America, it was the second Disney animated feature film sequel, after The Rescuers Down Under (1990), and the first Disney direct-to-video animated feature film. It also marked the first American direct-to-video animated feature film. Gilbert Gottfried, Jonathan Freeman, Scott Weinger, Frank Welker, Brad Kane and Linda Larkin reprise their roles from the first film, with Jason Alexander, Val Bettin, Liz Callaway, and Dan Castellaneta joining the cast. The film received mostly negative reviews but sold 15 million VHS tapes, grossing more than $300 million (equivalent to $651,661,428 in 2025) on a budget of approximately $5 million (equivalent to $10,861,024 in 2025), making it one of the United States' best-selling films on home video.
