Oh? Are you going to complain that this is late? Well, it is not late. Time is just...early.

Aladdin is doing some fun, as a villain named Abis Mal is introduced, who is played by Jason Alexander. Abis has a group of thieves, who doesn't like him. Aladdin stops Abis (setting off a cycle in the TV series), and gives many riches to the city of Agrabah. Apparently, he lives in the palace now, with Jasmine, Sultan, Abu and Rajah. Meanwhile, Iago gets fed up, escapes the lamp, and heads off for Agrabah. Aladdin goes out on the town before a big dinner at the palace (by which I mean, a dinner with...regular family members...but apparently it's special!) and sees Iago. He saves Aladdin's life, and Aladdin repays him by forgiving him for that one altercation from the last movie.

As Aladdin prepares to convince Sultan to give Iago a second chance, the Genie returns, as things are really back to normal. Sort of. At dinner, Genie is entertaining them, as Iago crashes the party, just as Sultan announces Aladdin's new position as Royal Viser. After some yelling, Sultan reluctantly agrees, as Jasmine is mad that Aladdin lied again. Then Iago repays Aladdin m=by setting things right.

Abis finds the lamp, rubs it, releasing Jafar. They reach an agreement. Abis can have his three wishes, if he helps him destroy Aladdin. Jafar squeezes his way back into the palace, making Iago apart of his plan. Iago convinces Aladdin and Sultan to go away for a nice talk, without Genie. Jafar captures Genie, and Abis captures Sultan. Then Aladdin returns back to the palace, hoping to clear things up with Razoul. Jafar as Jasmine (Jafasmine) imprisons Aladdin, sentencing him to exucution the next day. All's going well, right? Iago switches sides, breaks open Genie's case, as he saves Aladdin just in time, as they devise a plan to get rid of Jafar once and for all, by destroying Jafar's lamp. Iago destroys Jafar's lamp, and they all live happily ever after. Aladdin steps down as Royal Viser, stating he'd rather see the world, and star in a TV series. Jasmine joins him, and all is well. That is, until Jafar returns AGAIN for an episode of Hercules: The Animated Series.

Over all, it's not bad. The animation is not good though. The songs are okay, there is one part where the plot just kind of...dissolves. But other than that, it's all right. This movie served as a kick-off to the TV series and kind of feels as if it was created for that purpose. While it's not bad, it's clear the superior Aladdin sequel is Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which isn't even superior to the original. However, I suppose Aladdin 4 is worth mentioning.

Songs:

"Arabian Nights"
"I'm Looking Out for Me"
