Aladdin is an animated television series made by Walt Disney Television Animation which aired from 1994 to 1995, based on the original 1992 feature film of the same name. 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 still living on the streets of Agrabah but now engaged to the beautiful and fearless Princess Jasmine. "Al" and Jasmine go together into peril among sorcerers, monsters, thieves, and more. Monkey sidekick Abu, the animated Magic Carpet, and the fast-talking, shape-shifting Genie come along to help, as does sassy, temperamental parrot Iago, formerly Jafar's minion.
Many of the films' stars provided the voices of their TV counterparts, with the notable exception of Dan Castellaneta filling in for Robin Williams in the Genie role, and Val Bettin replacing Douglas Seale as the Sultan.
The first season aired on the Disney Channel in early 1994 as a preview for the series. In the fall, the series simultaneously premiered on both The Disney Afternoon syndicated block and on CBS Saturday mornings. A total of eighty-six episodes were made; counting the third movie as the eighty-seventh and official series finale.
