I wonder if this episode has been talked about on this board, but...

I recently watched it, and I have to say that I really liked it. It did seem odd to have two wizards take Al and co. out of Agrabah, but I felt it worked well for the situation, and I liked the excitement and clever twist ending.

Favorite moments:

--The scenes where Genie and Carpet compete with each other. Those were funny.

--The wrestling with the Polar Bear

--Both climbing scenes; the latter one was especially intense--who would reach Iago OR Abu first?

--The "Videogame"! I really didn't expect that at all, but as a videogamer I thought it was a great touch!

Haha not exactly.

I don't remember this episode enough to comment, though. :/

I haven't watched it in years. Even on series marathons, I can't bring myself to do it. That and "Beast or Famine" have that sad distinction. Laughing

Wow, I really need to watch this one again, I don't remember much about it. Shocked

But the fact that they got Jonathan Freeman back to play another villain was pretty awesome, I think. Wink

I agree on Freeman. It was great to have him around for an ep. I still find it pretty awesome that the series didn't bring Jafar back and ruin what happened in RoJ... we have other media to do that for us, though. Laughing

Though I still say they could have used Jafar in an Ayam Aghoul episode... rather than having him spend about four years in transit to the Grecian Underworld. Laughing

I just watched this episode for the first time in several years. My opinion of it hasn't changed. Laughing

There's some history stuff in it, which I always find somewhat interesting. Genie is over 16,000 years old and Ding/Opo once ruled the world. You know, um, however that works out. Laughing

I forgot about the polar bear... this series is the original Lost. Smoke monsters, polar bears, mysterious temples, cursed islands... I wonder if Fasir lives in a cabin? Laughing

It's defnitely not one of Genie's strongest episodes. Plus, omg, if they showed it ONE MORE TIME on Toon Disney, I was going to rip my hair out Laughing

I think it's Mothias, but subtitles would be nice Laughing

Mothias is what I remember, too. But he had a different name as a worm, though...
