Goofs
When Aladdin and Jasmine make up in the palace garden (during Iago's song "Forget About Love"), Aladdin is wearing his "Ali Ababwa" prince clothes. When the we return to them after a scene with Jafar and Abis Mal, Aladdin and Jasmine are still in the palace garden, but Aladdin is suddenly wearing his "streetrat" clothes.

Quotes
Jafar: That was two wishes. Take your time with the third.
[menacingly]
Jafar: Or you will wish you had never been born.

Crazy credits
At the end of the movie, Abis Mal says "Does this mean I don't get my third wish?"

Alternate versions
For the 2005 DVD release and later TV airings, the first two shots of Jafar's flashing skeleton were painted out during his death scene, although the final two shots still remain.

Not as good as Aladdin, but who cares?

Rule number one in movie viewing friends: never, ever expect a sequel to be better that the original. because it usually isn't. The Return of Jafar is no where near as good as Aladdin, but it is still generally good. This really wasn't even supposed to be a sequel. It was supposed to be the first five episodes of the animated series, thus explaining the change in animation. The story is fairly good and the movie has some good songs. And in defense of Dan Castellaneta, he does a good job as the Genie and sounds sort of like Robin Williams. Don't judge him just because of Williams' performance. It was not as good as Aladdin, but why would you expect it to be?
