I really can't think of any episode I didn't like. The animation in many of the episodes isn't the greatest but besides that I can't think of any that I just despised. I didn't really like the end of "Do the Rat Thing". I mean what is up with the Sultan? One minute he'll take on Amazon rejects the Galafems singlehandedly and then he'll have a serious senior moment. I think he's just a wee bit senile but he's one of my favorite characters so that's fine XD. And then I didn't like how they re-used animation in "Web of Fear." |

I don't like "Much Abu About Something" and "Never Say Nefir". They're really boring, unthinkingly (first) and stupid (second).  |

Coming to my favorites, "Do the Rat Thing", "Garden of Evil" "The Lost Ones", "The Book of Khartoum" and "The Ethereal" are at the top of my list. The Ethereal really made me cry after Jasmine "died". (Sorry for jumping off topic to favorites). |
I agree! "Garden of Evil" is at the very top of my favorite list, as it's the highest quality episode (it terms of practically everything) from the series. It's the episode I'd show a curious stranger who wanted to get into the show/fandom. |

I've always disliked "The Animal Kingdom" just because it was too weird for me. I do think the message is important, but animals talking intelligibly (as opposed to like Abu or Xerxes... we can make an exception for Gilbert Gottfried) just seems incongruous with the series.
I've also never been a fan of the Odifferans. Europeans going into the Middle East just reminded me too much of colonization. (Middle East history major here. Sorry!) although I do like that they become friends... and as one poster said, I love that Iago (and the whole series, pretty much) always makes fun of their intelligence. The excessive cheese jokes do make me roll my eyes a little. But I also love "That Stinking Feeling" - I like any episode about Al and Jas' relationship. I think the theme is cute.
I like Thundra as a character, but was always bothered by the fact that she's so much bigger than Iago, haha. It just doesn't make sense. |

I've never seen an Aladdin episode I didn't like some aspect of. I'm serious.
Even when the animation got a little wonky, the plot or dialogue managed to be fun enough to distract me.
That said, dear god, what the hell is wrong with Mozenrath's face in Secret of Dagger Rock? Not that anyone looks their best in that episode but what is wrong with Mozenrath? |

TAK reminds me a lot of Star Trek for some reason, and not just because Michael Dorn's in it. They seem to use plots similar to this one a lot. Same deal with "The Game", probably because Ding and Oopo remind me of Q. |

I've wanted to use his arguments in conversation, just to see how far I can get with it.

I hated that episode the first time I saw it (because it made Iago look ridiculous) and the second time it became my favorite episode for quite awhile because of the humor. I didn't pay much attention to the animation quality in those days...

I just re-watched "Poor Iago" and totally forgot that Rasoul becomes a black man for a frame.
This episode definitely represents a "bad" episode to me... I really like it, even if it's a bit odd and the animation is hideous. This bit is still one of my favorites in the series:
Farouk: We shall tar and feather him!
Omar: He's already got feathers.
Farouk: ... then we shall pluck him, then tar and RE-feather him!
(They exit)
Rasoul: We'll roast that bird over a small fire!
Fazal: Mmmm, roast parrot, my favorite!
(They exit)
Aladdin: DDDD: You're just supposed to arrest him! |

And I don't have the magic lamp necklace that comes with that book. Dammit  |

That is exactly where and when I bought my tapes as well.
I never got a necklace from them, though. Just a magic lamp necklace that came with a book. |

Aw, I have one of those somewhere. Kmart had a sale on old Princess VHS tapes like 8 years ago and I got to pick up at the Jasmine ones... good times. Back in the days where I didn't have Toon Disney/sketchy activity and was at the mercy of the Disney product line to get a series fix.  |

Anyway, "I'm Lookin Out For Me" is the song I sing to myself when I've had enough of people. (We all have those days.) And I just love "You're Only Second Rate." |
That is BRILLIANT!! I feel like I reallly need that right now.
Thanks for the idea!!

And here is a clip of the stupid "Good teenagers..." clip.

The page about it at snopes.com has audio clips, IIRC. |

I'm almost 100% sure if you type in something like 'aladdin take off your clothes' or 'disney subliminal messages' or something close to those on youtube, you'll find it
There's no way someone's not going to let that disappear, which I don't particularly mind because that was what was there for years, but Disney bleeping it out on the DVD only really gives those people who do think he's saying it more reassurance because now it looks like they're hiding it  |
