Aladdin is an animated television series made by Walt Disney Television which aired from 1994 to 1996, based on the original 1992 feature. 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, still unwed to beautiful and spunky Princess Jasmine. "Al" and Jasmine went together into peril among sorcerers, monsters, thieves, and more. Monkey sidekick Abu and the fast-talking, shape-shifting Genie came along to help, as did sassy, complaining parrot Iago, formerly Jafar’s pet but now a grudgingly good guy.

Debuting simultaneously on Saturday morning and as part of the syndicated weekday Disney Afternoon, the show set a pattern for several future Disney series. Many of the films' stars provided the voices of their TV counterparts with Dan Castellaneta filling in for Robin Williams in the Genie role.

The show is now shown in reruns on Toon Disney. The Disney Channel reran the series in the late-1990s until their pre-teen lineup took over.

The show became popular with Arabic speaking viewers when it aired on MBC 3 dubbed in Arabic. Most, if not all of the characters, were voiced by Egyptian actors, and as a result, Egyptian Arabic was used.

There are currently no plans to release the Aladdin TV series on DVD from Walt Disney Home Entertainment.

Characters

Main

  1. Aladdin (voiced by Scott Weinger)
  2. Princess Jasmine (voiced by Linda Larkin)
  3. Genie (voiced by Dan Castellaneta)
  4. Abu (voiced by Frank Welker. Monkey friend of Aladdin)
  5. Iago (voiced by Gilbert Gottfried)

Villains

  1. Abis Mal (voiced by Jason Alexander): The most recurring villain. He always has a plan to rule Agrabah, usually involving a new magical item. He has an obsession of attaining the Sultan's "big hat." He is joined in the series by Harud Hazi Bin (voiced by James L. Avery, Sr.). Harud is Abis Mal's right-hand man, who often considered his boss's schemes ill-conceived.
  2. Mechanicles (voiced by Charlie Adler): A Greek with OCD tendencies and a knack for building evil war machines, also an obsession with keeping things neat and tidy.
  3. Mozenrath (voiced by Jonathan Brandis): A sorcerer always seeking more power. Xerxes (voiced by Frank Welker) was his familiar.
  4. Mirage (voiced by Bebe Neuwirth): An evil cat woman intent on spreading fear and misery.
  5. Saleen (voiced by Julie Brown): A bratty merwoman who hates not getting her way.
  6. Ayam Aghoul (voiced by Hamilton Camp)
  7. Amin Damoola (voiced by Jeff Bennett): A clumsy thief who constantly tries to prove himself but inevitably fails.
  8. Sootinai (voiced by Dorian Harewood): A smoke spirit that only appeared in the episode, The Vapor Chase; was originally composed of smaller spirits. When all of the spirits merge into one, they become Sootinai. Sootinai can absorb the smoke from fires, making him himself larger and more powerful.
  9. The Al Muddy : The Al Muddy are a race of subterranean mud-monsters.
  10. Malcho (voiced by Hector Elizondo) : Malcho is a giant flying serpent who is an enemy of Thundra.
  11. Aziz (voiced by Michael Bell) : Aziz was an old acquaintance of Aladdin's who, upon finding the Destiny Stone, turned into an evil creature who could use his breath to do just about anything he wanted.
  12. Nefir Hasenuf (voiced by Rene Auberjonois) : Nefir is an imp whose greed rivals that of Iago. He always causes great calamity and uses his great imp ingenuity to capitalize on the needs of those involved.
  13. Arbutus (voiced by Ron Perlman): An Artist and plant manipulator.
  14. Chaos (voiced by Matt Frewer): A flying cat with god-like powers.
  15. Khartoum (voiced by Tony Jay): An evil wizard imprisoned within his own book. His only hope of release is a magical gem called the Philosophers' Stone which consists the power of the cosmos. All he needs is someone greedy enough to create the stone and release him from his prison. It turns out, Mozenrath was that "someone" when he finds the book. After the young wizard creates the stone, Khartoum doublecrosses him and takes the stone for himself.

Supporting

  1. Sultan (voiced by Val Bettin). Jasmine's father, and the ruler of Agrabah. We learn that at least part of his name is Bobo. (As the Netherworld Turns)
  2. Rajah (voiced by Frank Welker). Tiger friend of Princess Jasmine
  3. The Royal Guards: Headed by Razoul(voiced by Jim Cummings) they are like police and security guards for Agrabah.
  4. Sadira (voiced by Kellie Martin) : A female streetrat who was saved by Aladdin and fell in love. Jealous of the princess, she learns the art of "Sand Magic" and uses it to try and make Aladdin love her. She eventually gives up and becomes friends with the group
  5. Sultan Pasta Al'Dente (voiced by Stuart Pankin : Pasta is the ruler of the land of Getsistan, known throughout the Seven Deserts for their casinos.
  6. Queen Hippsodeth (voiced by Kate Mulgrew) : Hippsodeth is the ruler of the Isle of Galifem, home of the Galifem warriors. After being defeated by the Sultan in battle, she fell in love with him. Her "right-hand woman" is Scara(voiced by Susan Tolsky), one of the Galifem warriors, a goofy, comic relief character.
  7. Merc (voiced by Dorian Harewood) : Merc is the captain of a flying ship who appeared in two episodes: "Raiders of the Lost Shark" and "Beast or Famine."
  8. The Mukhtar (voiced by John Kassir) : The Mukhtar is perhaps the last surviving member of the race of Mukhtars, renowned as the sworn enemies of the genies. Originally hired by one of Genie's old masters, Aged Al Gebraic, to capture Genie in "Genie Hunt," he eventually became Genie's friend following the events of "The Hunted."

He went on to marry a woman named Brawnhilda(Voiced by Carol Kane) and have a son called Bud(E.G. Daily)He has a cameo in "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" in the crowd around the wedding procession path. His military chief is General Gouda (Voiced by Ron Perlman).

  12. Fasir (Voiced by Ed Gilbert): Fasir is a seer who hides his cycloptic nature by wearing a bandage over his eye, appearing as a blind beggar.
