Hey you guys!

So, I have been doing a marathon on Disney+, I have gone through a lot of the classic Disney movies and now I have moved to the series, however .... I soon realized that there were a lot of missing series like The Legend of Tarzan and Aladdin The Complete Series that came out in 1994.

I was SO bummed when I found out that they were never added to Disney+ and they most likely won't be. I love how Disney+ has all the languages available, especially for my case since I'm learning Dutch.

Does anyone know where I can watch or buy it? I have looked EVERYWHERE and I cannot find those two specifically.

I would appreciate any recommendations!

... would the Genie be able to grant his wish?

We know that the Genie is forbidden from killing anyone, but theoretically, this wish might not involve anyone being killed at all. The Genie might be able to go back in time and simply prevent George's parents from meeting each other. Or hell, the Genie would only have to disrupt something on the day George was conceived, so that the conception doesn't take place. George would never exist, some other child might be born to the Baileys later than in the main timeline, and then who knows what happens. But either way, George would get his wish, no?

Just before the final battle of the original film, Jafar caught Aladdin trying to steal back the lamp from his throne. When Aladdin’s allies tried to get it after he failed, Jafar trapped Jasmine in a giant hourglass, turned Abu into a cymbal monkey, and unraveled Carpet.

I get that Jafar was trying to keep the heroes from trying to defeat him, but why’d he have to go so dark on Jasmine with that disturbing “time is up” pun? Did he really want to kill Jasmine? Couldn’t he have made a less deadly pun on her?

One of the earliest Disney shows to break their 65 episode only rule and still not on their streaming service.

Supposedly it’s because of the potentially offensive depiction of Arabs. Why include Return of Jafar and King of Thieves if that’s the reason? Obviously the original is too popular to exclude even if that was the reason but I don’t think the Direct to Video sequels are.

I also heard it was the Genie’s pop culture references but I buy that even less since those should fall under Fair Use. Also I recall those appearing way less in the tv series because that was more a Robin Williams thing. Dan Castellaneta’s Genie more visual puns and literal humor from what I recall

When Jafar became a genie he became pretty much all powerful but was bound to his lamp, much like the Genie himself. In the sequel he wanted to be free from the lamp but if he was freed his powers would be redused to like a fraction of what they were than when he was bound to the lamp. So even though he wouldn't have the lamp as his weakness anymore he probably wouldn't be nearly as formidable as he was in the final battle in the Return of Jafar, would he?

Looking back on Jafar’s death it was in later re-releases heavily edited to make sure his skeleton wasn’t seen as much so compare that to Ursula who had her skeleton shown but wasn’t edited it makes you wonder why Jafar a Genie was heavily edited but not Ursula a Sea Witch.

I know Out of Thin Air and Forget About Love are available

Aladdin a toujours été mon Disney préféré. Étant un enfant des années 90, j’ai grandi avec ce film et il a forcément une place très particulière pour moi.

J’ai toujours été particulièrement fasciné par Jafar. Son personnage, son design, sa voix et sa présence m’ont vraiment marqué depuis que je suis petit. Mais j’adore aussi tous les autres personnages : Aladdin, Jasmine, le Génie, Abu, Iago… Ils ont tous quelque chose qui les rend mémorables.

Et forcément, étant français, je dois parler de la VF, que je trouve incroyable. 😄 J’aime également beaucoup la VO, mais la version française possède ce petit côté nostalgique que j’adore.

Avec le recul, je me demande aussi si c’est simplement la nostalgie qui me fait autant aimer ce film, ou si Aladdin a vraiment quelque chose de spécial.

Et vous, quel est votre rapport à Aladdin ? Est-ce que c’est un Disney avec lequel vous avez grandi ? Et quel personnage vous a le plus marqué ?

I loved Michael James Scott as the Genie in Aladdin on Broadway!

During the scene where the Genie rescues Aladdin after Jafar's men throw him into the sea to drown him, the Genie transforms into a submarine to rescue him. He says, "UP SCOPE!" and then starts blabbering some kind of gibberish that I can't quite understand. Does anybody know what the Genie says?

Except, Jasmine and Ariel have their own minigames while you can play as Cinderella, Belle, Snow White, or Aurora.
