Two full-length movies equals two times the fun! The ALADDIN trilogy is complete when both ALADDIN: THE RETURN OF JAFAR and ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES are available together, for the first time ever on Disney DVD on January 18, 2005 in the ALADDIN II & III COLLECTION. Complementing the October 2004 first-ever DVD release of Disney’s original animated classic “Aladdin,” this collection continues the thrilling Aladdin story with ALADDIN: THE RETURN OF JAFAR and brings the saga to its final thrilling conclusion with ALADDIN AND THE KING OF THIEVES.

All the favorite characters of Disney’s “Aladdin” return including the Genie, Aladdin, Jasmine, Abu, the magic carpet and the Sultan. These two wondrous tales also feature characters not seen in the original film, such as Aladdin’s father Cassim and the Forty Thieves, and there is more wondrous music in the spectacular “Aladdin” tradition. Both of these great films have been in the Disney Vault for nearly five years, and this 2-movie DVD set is available for a limited time only. $34.99 (S.R.P.) for the 2-movie DVD, also available in a 2-movie VHS set for $34.99 (S.R.P.).


ALADDIN: THE RETURN OF JAFAR
Aladdin’s adventure picks up where the original movie left off. Jafar returns as the world’s most powerful genie, and Aladdin and his friends must battle against huge odds to save the kingdom from Jafar’s evil plot! THE RETURN OF JAFAR features five show-stopping tunes. Trapped inside the magic lamp at the end of “Aladdin,” the wily Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) and his cantankerous parrot sidekick Iago (Gilbert Gottfried) find a way out of their prison. Back in Agrabah the Genie (Dan Castellaneta, “The Simpsons”), Aladdin (Scott Weinger), Jasmine (Linda Larkin), Abu (Frank Welker) and their friends are enjoying a whole new world – but Jafar is ready to take his revenge! The adventure that follows goes from the depths of a fiery lava pit to the heights of the kingdom.

ALADDIN and the KING OF THIEVES completes the Aladdin trilogy in grand style – with Aladdin and Jasmine’s wedding celebration. And the wedding planner is none other than the “big blue guy” himself, the Genie! But just as the happy couple prepares to say “I do,” the legendary Forty Thieves break up the party as they ransack the royal palace in search of the fabled Hand of Midas. When Aladdin learns that his long-lost dad may be trapped in the Forty Thieves’ lair, he sets out on a fantastic quest, with Jasmine and the Genie by his side.

ALADDIN and the KING OF THIEVES features returning voice cast talents Scott Weinger as Aladdin, Linda Larkin as Jasmine and Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Joining the fun are renowned Tony Award-winning Broadway, film and TV star Jerry Orbach (TV’s “Law and Order”) as the villainous Sa’luk, and the dulcet-toned John Rhys-Davies (“Raiders of the Lost Ark”) as the King of Thieves, Cassim.
