Aladdin (animated TV series)
animated television series made by Walt Disney Television
Aladdin (also known as Aladdin: The Series or Disney's Aladdin: The Series) is an American animated television series based on Disney’s 1992 animated feature film of the same name and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It aired from September 5, 1994, to November 25, 1995, concluding exactly three years to the day from the release of the original film. The series takes place after the events of The Return of Jafar. The second and final animated sequel was the 1996 direct-to-video film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
The series was produced by Alan Zaslove and Tad Stones, who were known for their work on Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck. Many of the films' stars provided the voices of their TV counterparts, with the exceptions of Dan Castellaneta, filling in for Robin Williams, as The Genie (like in The Return of Jafar), until Williams later returned to reprise his role in Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and Val Bettin as the Sultan (who replaced Douglas Seale after the original film).
The series originally aired as a preview on Disney Channel in early 1994, and in September of that year it began airing concurrently on the syndicated The Disney Afternoon block and on Saturday mornings on CBS (prior to Disney's purchase of rival ABC). Disney Channel reran the series from 1997 until 2000. The show was shown on Toon Disney from April 1998 until December 2008.
