History YMMV / AladdinTheReturnOfJafar

* ContestedSequel: Is this movie an alarming symbol of {{Sequelitis}}, being a useless sequel made only for Disney to milk the cash cow that the original movie was? Or is it a solid, well-written sequel that struggled with a restrictively low budget, resulting in the bad animation? Both opinions dwell the Internet.
* EarWorm: Perhaps the only good part of this movie is the (still poorly animated) songs:

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Averted in the Swedish dub where Bo Maniette voice Jafar instead of Mikael Samuelson as Bo is generally held as being a better fit for role of Jafar.

* BrokenBase: Is this movie an alarming symbol of {{Sequelitis}}, being a useless sequel made only for Disney to milk the cash cow that the original movie was? Or is it a solid, well-written sequel that struggled with a restrictively low budget, resulting in the bad animation? Both opinions dwell the Internet.

* OffModel: The animation in this film is... not exactly the best. It's hard to tell what's off-model; the entire thing is considered pretty poor by many fans. The color palette in particular is way off from the original movie, with the Genie going from a deep blue in the original and ''King of Thieves'' to powder blue here.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** Genie's song about him traveling the world and wishing to return to his friends.
** When Genie ruins a romantic moment for Aladdin and Jasmine by pestering them with a camera, Iago shoos everyone out so they can have time alone.

* MagnificentBastard: Jafar, while more of a SmugSnake in the first movie, became a lot more competent in the sequel, developing a more thought-out EvilPlan to take over Agrabah. If it wasn't for Iago pulling a HeelFaceTurn and betraying him, he would have succeeded.

* OffModel: The animation in this film is... not very good. It's hard to tell what's off-model; the entire thing is pretty ugly. The color palette in particular is way off from the original movie, with the Genie going from a deep blue in the original and ''King of Thieves'' to powder blue here.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Mostly averted as the ''Aladdin'' sequels manage to avoid the worst of it. They're commonly regarded as easily the best of the direct-to-home video sequels Disney has offered, despite the blatantly cheapskate animation.

* IdiotPlot: Jafar could have tricked forced Abis Mal to free him much earlier in the movie; even if genies still somehow could not kill even after being freed, or if Jafar somehow got weaker after being freed as the Genie did, it still would not have harmed his plan to get revenge on Aladdin in any significant way, and would probably have made it easier if anything. The ''only'' reason he didn't was that the plot required him not to, as otherwise Jafar could not be defeated since his lamp would no longer be his weak point.

* IdiotPlot: Jafar wants to get revenge on Aladdin, conquer Agrabah and have Abis Mal wish him free, in that order. There is no reason other than plot that he didn't do that last one first, even though that's the one he wants most and it would make the first two much, much easier, not to mention make him utterly invincible. It could be explained that he may know genies grow weaker when set free (though just because this applies to the Genie does not mean it applies to Jafar, who actually made the wish to be the most powerful Genie alive), so he wants to be at full power when he fights the Genie, but once that's done there's still no excuse, even with weaker powers he was far stronger than he needed to be to execute his plans.

* VillainBall: If Jafar had just forced Abis Mal to wish him free ''before'' he went after Aladdin, he would have been unstoppable.

* BadassDecay: Genie. It seems to come with being free, as he admits in ''Return of Jafar'', where he struggles several times to get his powers to work right.
