LatestAladdin discovers the Lost Jewels of Mizmeria. One of the jewels is taken by a bird who used to be a king. In the sun the jewel becomes Queen Deluca.
Coming on the heels of the direct-to-video sequel The Return of Jafar, the series picked up where that installment left off, with Aladdin now living in the palace, engaged to beautiful and spunky Princess Jasmine. "Al" and Jasmine went together into peril among sorcerers, monsters, thieves, and more. Monkey sidekick Abu, the animated Magic Carpet, and the fast-talking, shape-shifting Genie came along to help, as did sassy, complaining parrot Iago, formerly Jafar’s pet but now an antihero.
Acting
Gilbert Gottfried's Iago — somehow more unhinged than the movie.
Writing
Genie's anachronistic references aged like... actually, they aged weird.
Production
That 90s Disney Afternoon animation style: janky, charming, iconic.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Robin Williams was replaced by Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson) as Genie — and Williams' contractual disputes with Disney over merchandise made this casting controversial at the time.
This series quietly became one of Disney's first extended universe experiments, retroactively influencing how later franchises like Marvel and Star Wars would handle TV continuations.
