Do You Remember Aladdin’s TV Show?

Back in the 90s, our favorite street rat made the transition from the silver screen to boob tube and brought his adventures straight into living rooms. I’m talking, of course, about Aladdin. Everyone knows and loves the feature film, but getting ready for the new live action movie made me want to travel back to those Saturday mornings when I watched Al and Company take on alll new baddies. Much like we learned in the flagship film, appearances can be deceiving, and what’s inside is what counts. This show definitely went deeper with its characters and story. What’s up guys? I’m Kris Carr, and today I’m taking you back to Aladdin the Animated series.

[@zacharisincennes8026]

I think one reason Aladdin's TV series is often overlooked is it doesn't show anything that changes the flow of the franchise. There's a lot of content exclusive to it like Iago's girlfriend, Genie's girlfriend, and one of Genie's former masters still being allive. However, if you were to watch the Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves back-to-back, you couldn't tell the TV series even existed.

Instead of the tacky and shameless cash grabs that are the live action remakes, Disney should focus on adapting their theatrical films into animates series. Sacrifice a bit of the animation budget, focus on the stories, and you've got a great chance to further develop these beloved characters. The Tangles series and Big Hero 6 are great, but those are the only ones they've done. I'd have loved to see Moana on her voyager journeys, experience Zootopia PD, or catch up with the trials and tribulations of The Incredibles.

[@JonathanMCook]

Concur. On a sidenote, I was pleasantly surprised how the Tangled series turned out. On the outside, I was seriously "awe hell no", this looks way too Barbie girly-girl but then looks can be deceiving. (Cassandra FTW!). I like the show WAYYY better than I did the movie but that's another discussion.

[@Unownshipper]

@Pareidolia I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't go that far. Yes, the 90s shows based of Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Tarzan, and Hercules were capitalizing off the success of their theatrical movies, but I wouldn't call those a cash grab as much as a natural progression of merchandising. They weren't the same quality as their sources (Disney Toon Studios was a TV studio with a TV budget after all), but they had elements of originality in their stories and provided more chances for character development for their subjects. Conversely, I see the new live-action remakes a shameless cash grab because in my mind there's nothing "natural" about remaking the same movie but this time without the innovative and artful animation. It's unoriginal, the new films don't depart from their Disney sources enough to be considered new adaptations, and the whole practice is just blatantly mining nostalgia for the sake of easy money. That's what I meant.

[@1701echopapa]

I thoroughly enjoyed the Aladdin cash grab. Besides, Disney would be stupid to leave money on the table.

[@Compucles]

"Tangled" and "Big Hero 6" are enough for now. We don't need to see them overdo it with every recent animated franchise, or the quality will slip greatly like it did with the 90's direct-to-video sequels. Meanwhile, they need to keep going with these great live action remakes. They may be cash grabs, but they're not tacky or shameless at all (except for "Maleficent")!

[@fourcatsandagarden]

Aladdin seemed to cycle between living on the streets and living in the palace. The TV show seemed to frame it as him choosing to usually stay in his old house but have the option to live in the palace when he felt like it.

[@Compucles]

Yeah, besides, he was never actually homeless. It was a mess and mostly barren, but it still counted as his house.

[@LilyZerep]

🤔 That's the way I saw it. I read a fanfic that actually had Jasmine question him why he didn't live at the Palace despite the fact they weren't married. Aladdin told her he had his own place, and if she was marrying a prince, he wouldn't move in until after the wedding. Which makes sense. In many fanfictions Aladdin rarely used his guest room at the Palace, he officially moved in once they were married but he would retreat to his old home once in a while, depending on the circumstances.

Mozenrath was voiced by Jonathan Brandis. He hanged himself at his apartment back in 2003. He was another tragic child actor who succumbed to a troubled adulthood.

Speaking of dark episodes: The Lost Ones. Missing children, Aladdin triggered by it and going into his childhood about the disappearance of a friend, mystical child trafficking, mystical gang recruitment and its dehumanizing effects, and Mirage letting her small army of monsters made up of trafficked children expire just to spite Aladdin. And the Mukhtar, good God, the Mukhtar!

[@kriscynical]

Being part of the Aladdin fandom for the last 20 years and loving the movie since it first came out when I was 8, I ADORED this series and still do. It made Aladdin and Jasmine's relationship so much more realistic, and it's a CRIME that it's never been released on DVD/Blu-ray. I miss the days of animated serials having a single 20 minute episode instead of the fragmented attention span-coddling stuff that plagues cartoons now. The plots of a lot of the darker episodes didn't talk down to kids, and that's part of what made it great. It's too bad you didn't mention "The Lost Ones" in this because imo it had probably the best animation on the entire series on top of being an amazing plotline. Return of Jafar was originally supposed to be the first four episodes of the series, but Disney decided to experiment by releasing them as the FIRST direct to video sequel which was wildly successful and sold more copies than Pretty Woman. Did you ever see the crossover episode of Hercules, "Hercules and the Arabian Night"? It takes place after King of Thieves and Aladdin is actually an older hero for Hercules to look up to. Phil also tries to hit on Jasmine but she holds up her left hand and deadpans "I'm married." to which Phil says "Oh... sorry, ma'am!". The plot is Jafar turns up in the underworld and hatches a plot with Hades to get revenge on Aladdin in addition to Hades' goals, and Hercules and Icarus work with Aladdin and Jasmine to fight back. It's a great episode! I would KILL to read that original King of Thieves script of Mozenwrath being Aladdin's half brother, but the movie we got was amazing all the same. I always loved the fact that you actually see Aladdin ANGRY and dealing with really deep issues. It added so much depth to his character, especially the confrontation in canyon telling his father "You walked out on your family!", throwing the dagger at his feet with "I won't walk out on Jasmine!" and "I'm your son, but I can't live your life." That always stuck with me, along with Cassim's "You don't know what it's like, to stare up at the palace and know you deserve more; to be called street rat" and Aladdin's quiet "Yes... I do." in return. There was just SO MUCH there behind that answer. I do wish they wouldn't have edited out the blood, though. The trailers showed a big blood splotch on Aladdin's sleeve from Sa'luk, but it's gone in the actual movie. It was really something to see Aladdin actually get HURT, showing he wasn't invincible just like the two episodes of the series when he bruised some ribs and broke his arm. Also, fun fact: when Aladdin and Jasmine are walking back down the aisle at the end of the movie, it's lined with all the friends they made throughout the series from Sadira and Brawnhilda all the way down to King Mamoud. It took years for me to notice that! I always thought it might be a case of pride on Aladdin's part that he didn't live in the palace and only slept there when it's exceptionally cold at night... not wanting charity or to seem like he was mooching. And who knows, after being completely free for most of his life, maybe he had to get used to the confines of the palace. I imagine he might have been pretty uncomfortable there at first, kind of like in that old-ish movie "Castaway" when Tom Hanks finally gets rescued and the first night in a bed in five years he actually moves to the floor because it's how he's used to sleeping by then. Can you tell I've been a hardcore fan of this franchise for most of my life? lol

The aladdin tv series was one of the best shows ever when Toon disney existed. I really miss those times when disney really cared so much about animation. I even loved the bad guys, my favorite was mirage the Egyptian cat woman. While my least favorite was... Sadira. Yes i know many people love her but i always disliked her so much. She was so obsessed with aladdin and tries so much to get him. Like in the end of the first episode, when aladdin CLEARLY told her that he loves jasmine, she still tries to force him to love her in the other three episodes she appeared in! Like i couldn't stand her. At least she finally stopped being obsessed and accepts aladdin being with jasmine in the end of the 4th ep she appeared.

[@hannahskeldon7944]

I know I didn't like Saderia much either. At least she gave up on Aladdin eventually and accepted his and Jasmine's relationship. My favorite villains were Mirage and Mosenrath and I loved that mysterious blind guy too. Mozenrath, Mirage and Malcho were the ultimate examples of bad guys.

I know, she was a sweetie. I loved how she was magically bound to that little girl at the end of the episode though. I remember even as a kid, I thought that was cute :) To memory as well, she hints that her and the genie could reunite and be together down the track :)

This video captures exactly why Aladdin and Jasmine are my favorite Disney couple. They're the only ones that go through a real relationship. They fell for each other, they fought, reconciled, got to know one another better, learned to be honest and communicate, and then after a lengthy relationship period finally got married. Jasmine also had a ton of personality beyond standard Disney princess

[@hannahskeldon7944]

What about Rapunzel and Eugene?

[@Compucles]

Or Belle and Beast?

The lyrics to the opening song were written by original lyricist Howard Ashman, from a bunch of sets of lyrics he had for it.

I love Aladdin. He was my first Disney animated crush and I have adored Jasmine and been my favorite princess since I was about 4 or 5. I wish I was born a year later to be born the same year Aladdin came out. I'm Aladdin/Jasmine obsessed lol. Also it seemed that Aladdin didn't want to rush into marriage. I think he was nervous. There was an episode where the Sultan was like "Is that an engagement present eyyyyy?😉" and Jasmine laughed and said no while Aladdin looked nervous. And yusssss we see how much Jasmine doesn't want to be just a pampered princess. She wants to do what is right for and by her people. She goes on many adventures to save Agrabah. She was so badass that the Galifems captured her to recruit her. Sultan even gets out of the palace to help save her. I mean there is so many reasons to love Aladdin, the character, the movies and the series... which is why I'm so obsessed hahaha. Not to mention growing up Hispanic kid Jasmine and Pocahontas were the closest ones to look like us and represent us look wise. I'm just glad that I chose her as a kid and later kept choosing her for her culture, personality and all of the above as a character. Very underrated.

[@sunspotmill1291]

I used to watch this show (and the two sequels) as a kid in the 90s along with most of the other Disney Afternoon cartoons. I personally still recall some of the other prominent characters of this show like Abis Mal, Harold, the female genie, and Mozenrath (he obviously stuck for me as a kid). The original plan to make Mozenrath his brother in the King of Thieves would've blew my mind! The series' animation was also a product of its time for Disney 90s cartoons and it kind of shown its age a bit (but at least the designs were original).

[@TheSkatergirl001]

the Aladdin animated series was my childhood i would watch it everyday jasmine is my favorite i hope this show gets brought back i really loved it as a kid

If by any chance it's released as a complete series on DVD I hope Shout Factory! does it justice.

[@1hugegooboy]

I would say that the show very much still holds up. I also found it very interesting seeing Jafar show up for an episode of Disney's Hercules: The Animated Series to team up with Hades cause it was a good chance for Aladdin to show off some of that good old fashioned ingenuity that led to Jafar's defeat in the first place, & it didn't disappoint. When talking about Aladdin characters Jafar was always a personal fav since I am very partial to the villains in the first place, & it was Amazing watching Herc & Al pull the ol switcheroo in order to turn their weaknesses into strengths. I Loved it

[@Giovanni_Team_Rocket_UK]

I was 10-12 years old when I watched the Aladdin TV series... I loved this series so much!! For years I have been moaning online for all 86 episodes to be released onto DVD or even Blu-Ray... but I guess that will never happen? I’m hoping it will be released on Disney + in the near future All the villains including Mozenrath, Abis Mal and Mechanicles were my favourites of all time :) i used to act like a villain when I was a kid XD LOL

I'm actually kinda surprised you didn't mention anything about the crossover episode of the Hercules cartoon, which took place after King of Thieves and brought back Jafar.

[@samrobacker346]

Mozenwrath was one of my favorite villains becuase you could argue a lot of his typical villain reactions, such as not being able to understand Aladdin doing something for others, really just show how fucked up his master was. Also the episode where one of Aladdin's childhood friends comes back as basically a zombie only to discover doing good deeds gets him his humanity back, could have been a cool and dark spin off.

[@lexi_2021]

I loved his dialogues especially

[@Hapsetshut]

It also made Jasmine a really competent person which was huge for your girls back then and now even. Hell, she gets to be Salute now, you go girl!

So much nostalgia, I can't believe the infinity gauntlet was in the Aladdin series

[@the1koolkitty]

Couldn't agree with you more about this show -- along with the Little Mermaid TV series, Aladdin was my favorite nostalgic TV show, and I totally think it still holds up. Its rogue gallery is just so unbelievably diverse and creative that even the characters that only appear in one episode make such an impact. Along with the ones you mentioned like Mirage, Abis Mal, Chaos, Mechanicles and of course Mozenrath, I loved Saleen the evil water elemental, Sadira the sand sorceress, and (although he's more of a sympathetic obstacle than a villain) Arbutus from Garden of Evil. It truly felt like Aladdin's TV universe was as expansive as 1001 Arabian Nights, thanks to the many different challenges and enemies Aladdin and crew had to face. It may have its issues here and there, like animation errors or continuity discrepancies, but I think it still was a really well-done show. Thanks for delving into it! xoxo

[@Compucles]

According to TV Tropes, they never said that they planned to make Mozenrath's Aladdin's brother. That was only ever fan speculation based on the idea of possibly making Mozenrath the villain of the third movie (which was true) and his resemblance to Al.

[@Lioness006]

I remember. I used to watch it regularly. Jonathan Brandis (RIP) did the voice of Mozenrath, one of the villains. I had no idea the third movie was supposed to involve Mozenrath.

It's a shame 😔they're not on TV anymore but at least they're on Complete DVD collections to keep the memories alive. But I still wished that The Wuzzles , The Little Mermaid, Aladdin , Hercules, Timon and Pumba, Gargoyles, Might Ducks, House of Mouse, American Dragon Jake Long and Kim Possible were finally on complete DVD collection at last as they're the only ones that weren't on Complete DVD released🤞. I know some people say you can watch the old series on Disney+, but I don't have one and to be honest I prefer on complete DVD like Gummie Bears, Duck Tales, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers and Dark Wing Duck.

I saw the show years before I ever saw the movie. I never had an issue with the voice of Genie, because I loved the cartoon voice before I heard Robin Williams' version. I still love that show. Side note. Remember in the first film, when Al wished to be a prince? I wonder if the wish in any way turned his dad into the King of Thieves.

I remember watching this show when I was a little girl, and I liked it so much! Aladdin is definitely my favorite Disney movie and I love all the sequel, even if the animation isn't the best but there is a difference of budget and time between the first one made for movie theatres, and the others made for home video or television, you can't have the same quality but the stories are still good and that's not so granted in sequels or series. So, in my opinion, they aren't perfect but they are still good enough to be my favourite of all times! (Ps. I love KZbin in this moment, there is Aladdin anywhere!)
