Welcome to the seventh episode of Sequelisers, the show all about fixing bad sequels to good movies. If there’s a good movie that was followed by a terrible sequel, we’re going to try and fix it. This episode is all about the first of the bad straight-to-video Disney sequels of the 1990s, Return of Jafar. That’s Aladdin 2, if you hadn’t already guessed. So, what can we do to fix it? Set it hundreds of years after the first film? Keep the same cast as last time? Get some ideas from One Thousand and One Nights? All of the above, pretty much. It's I Hate Sand, It’s Coarse and Gets Everywhere vs Street Rats for the redemption of Agrabah. Who do you think had the better pitch? Use #IHateSand or #StreetRats to let us know! Do you have a good idea for Aladdin 2? Do you disagree with the decision? Email us at sequelisers@gmail.com Theme music by Daniel Williams.
