Synopsis:
Aladdin is adjusting to his new life as part of the upper crust. He and
Princess Jasmine may not be married yet, but the pressures of palace society
have already begun. On top of that, Iago (the parrot pet of Sultan's ex-vizir
turned genie, Jafar) appears asking for help and no one is happy to see him. But
things begin to look up when Genie returns from his trip around the world.
Meanwhile, Jafar's black lamp is discovered by an idiot crook called Abis Mal.
By using Abis Mal, Jafar makes his way back to Agrabah with ideas of payback for
Aladdin and his friends.

Robin Williams does not
return for sequel:
Robin Williams
provided the voice for the Genie, at union scale rate (the lowest legal pay rate
a studio can give an actor), on the provisos that his voice was not used for
merchandising (i.e. toys and such) and that the Genie character not take up more
than 25% of the space of a poster, ad, billboard, or trailer. When these wishes
were not granted, he withdrew his support for Disney and the film.
In an attempt to get back on good
terms with Robin Williams, Walt Disney Co. CEO 'Michael Eisner' apologized to
Robin Williams with a peace offering of an original Pablo Picasso painting.
Still angered and betrayed by Disney, Robin Williams would not accept the gift.
It was not until Jeffrey Katzenberg was fired and a new producer hired did Robin
Williams return to Disney. Through this new producer, a public apology was given
(by the producer). Promises were made to right wrongs, and Robin Williams was so
touched that he came back as the Genie for the second direct-to-video sequel,
Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1995) (V)
- Val Bettin took over the role of the Sultan. Douglas Seale, the voice of
the Sultan in the first movie, passed away June 13th, 1999 at age of 85.
