While Iago's redemption story was thoughtful, The Return of Jafar deserves the reputation it gets. The storyline was thin, and the animation was lackluster compared to the visually brilliant animation in Aladdin. The songs are forgettable (though "You're Only Second Rate" was okay). Despite his appreciated efforts, Dan Castellaneta was no Robin Williams. One of the film's few saving graces was Jafar and Jonathan Freeman's charismatic voice. It is by no means underrated.

Robin Willaims certainly was missed, I'll grant you that.

Aside from that, while I don't disagree that it's very much inferior to the original movie (still my favourite from Disney), I really think the bad rep is unfair. For a genuinely badly made Disney sequel, look no further than The Jungle Book 2 or [shudder] The Lion King 3.

When I think of a genuinely badly made Disney sequel, I think The Hunchback of Notre Dame II. There is genuinely no reason for that movie to even exist. The Jungle Book 2 was a rehash of the original film, plain and simple. I didn't think The Lion King 1½ was too bad. The animation looked like the original, and it was cool to see Timon's backstory. However, I have a hard time believing Timon and Pumbaa were at every stage in the first half of the original film, and the continuity errors that film created annoyed me. Overall, it's passable, but it's not among the worst of the Disney sequels to me.
