Triple bill of Disney adaptations from the traditional tale of Aladdin. In 'Aladdin' (1993), the eponymous street urchin meets by chance the beautiful Princess Jasmine in the marketplace after she has sneaked out of the royal palace looking for some fun. The sultan's advisor, the evil Jafar, who is hatching an evil plot to marry Jasmine and become sultan himself, senses her attraction to the youth and immediately gives orders to throw Aladdin (voice of Robin Williams) in jail. But when Aladdin discovers a magic lamp in a cave, his quest begins: to defeat Jafar and win the hand of the princess, with the help of the Genie in the lamp. In the sequel, 'The Return of Jafar' (1994), Jafar the evil sorcerer gets trapped inside the magic lamp, and plots his revenge on Aladdin, who is again accompanied by the beautiful Princess Jasmine and the wise-cracking Genie. In the second sequel, 'Aladdin and the King of Thieves' (1996), Aladdin is worried about his impending marriage to Princess Jasmine, and in particular his future role as a father, as he has never known his own. When the forty thieves steal a magical talisman during the ceremony, Aladdin is forced to put such concerns to one side. However, as he attempts to retrieve the missing jewel, he unwittingly moves closer to finding his long-lost dad... Review: Good Clean Fun - What you get in this package is the 2 disk special edition vesion of Aladdin, plus the 2 sequals. The original Aladdin feature is a full blow Disney spectacular with now expense spared. The animation is exactly what you expect from Disney. The voice acting is excellent and the characters are great. The story is pretty much what you expect from an Aladdin based story and with Robin Williams playing the Genie you can expect a barrel of laughs. We get the standard happy ending - but with an obvious queue for a sequal, which is unusual for a Disney film. The film is very very good - Jafar is an excellent character and brings some darkness to the otherwise ideal world that the characters inhabit. The extras are quite good as well - the vitrual tour of Agrabah is quite impressive for smaller children. The Return of Jafar starts up where Aladdin finishes. This time it's by the Disney Television people, so the standard of animation suffers. Robin Williams is also absent and the newly genie isn't quite as good. The story is pretty good though and it involves Jafar escaping from the prison he was left in at the end of the previous film. Aladdin and the Prince of Thieves is the final film. Robin Williams comes back to do the genie again. And this time the story of the 40 thieves has been shoe horned into the Aladdin story - Aladdins father is the Prince of Thieves! We get a sort of buddy film where Aladdin and his father travel together and sort out their problems. Overall I'm giving this 9/10 and rounding it up to 5 stars. My 4 year old daughter loves all the films, and I don't mind watching them with her. Review: Great gift - I bought this for a colleague as a Secret Santa gift, and it was exactly what she wanted. It arrived on time, and she loved it, which was great. It was really easy to order online—I didn’t have to go out at all—and it came the next day, which was very convenient. Overall, a simple and hassle-free gift that worked perfectly.

Jonathan Freeman as Jafar; Yeah!
In my opinion, Aladdin is the best film ever made by Disney. Some of the things that make this movie so good, beside the beautiful animation, is the wonderful songs by late Howard Ashman, Tim Rice & Alan Menken, and Menken's wonderous score (with an arabian touch). Aladdin won 2 Academy Awards because of it's brilliant music. The film has a good story, interessting characters and beautiful and funny songs. My favourite character is the villain Jafar (the best Disney villain!), voiced by the very gifted actor/singer Jonathan Freeman. To bad that he diden't got more songs in this picture (but there are more Freeman recorded songs for Aladdin; "Why Me?" and "Humiliate the Boy"). Robin Williams as the Genie is also very funny off course, but I think Freeman's Jafar is a better character. In The Return of Jafar, Jafar is planning revenge, as he has escaped from the lamp... In this movie Freeman has a very catchy song for Jafar, "You're Only Second Rate". (Yes, I love Freeman's performances!) In my opinion, the last movie in the Aladdin trilogy, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, is not as good as The Return of Jafar. Perhaps because there is no Jafar in it?

All I wanted!
This is such a great boxset! It has all three films (admittedly No. 2 is very weak but No. 3 gets better) in attractive packaging and all neatly in one box. It also has "Classic No. 31" written on the side of 'Aladdin' which for a true Disney fan is a bonus as I'm trying to neaten my collection by having all my DVDs with this badge (sad but true!) All in all in was value for money and provided a rainy weekend's entertainment. If you love Aladdin then seriously consider buying this boxset so you have the full story.

旧版には旧版ゆえこその楽しみがある!
オイラのように、ビデオやdvdに収録された予告編がとても大好き、という人必見の第一作と、予告編は収録されていないものの、amazonに出品もされる短編集と関係が強い続編のセット! Make a wishはご存知ですか?貧しい子供達にも夢を叶えてもらうというこの慈善事業には、アラジン2005年版限定の紹介映像が製作されています。実写版とは同じ歌でも歌詞が違うのもミソ。 TSUTAYAでは旧作となりましたが、最寄りに並んでいるレンタル品は2008年版で、そこから声優が変わったと考えられます(確かめようよ僕)。短編集、アラジンの大冒険はくまのプーさんやティモプン等と同じく、本来はテレビ放送用だったそう。その中で何故イアーゴがアラジン陣営にいるのか、アラジンの大冒険を持っているならジャファーの逆襲を押さえておいて損はしません! アラジンの大冒険の結び、完結編・盗賊王の伝説。これは三木氏版のみのようですが、輝かしき実績を積んだり危険な奮闘を引き起こしたりしてもカゴの中のオウムの暮らしに不満を抱く(?)イアーゴの結末、見届けましょう!! 特典ディスクでは、ジャファーの逆襲へ至る前に起こったかもしれない出来事やジーニーのやっぱりお茶目な一面が観られ、更にサプライズゲストまで!!

Great item, great deal
I missedd the 'region 2' label when purchasing, but it turns out that all discs play fine for me. Great price for films that are otherwise unavailable right now.
