The story
What it's about
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.

5.9IMDbSeason 2 of Aladdin: The Series is significantly longer than the first, consisting of 69 episodes. It shifts from setting up the world to exploring the "Seven Deserts" and introducing complex new allies and recurring threats. The season continues after the events of The Return of Jafar, with Aladdin and Jasmine engaged and Iago firmly (if grumpily) established as a member of the group.

5.3IMDbSeason 3 of Aladdin: The Series (1995) is the shortest season of the show, consisting of only 8 episodes. Because the series was originally aired in a staggered format, Season 3 serves as the final bridge between the daily TV adventures and the final film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. In this season, the stakes for the "Seven Deserts" are at their highest, and Aladdin faces a more personal struggle with his future role as Sultan.
