Trigger warning: This episode talks about the suicide of one of the actors involved in this cartoon. If you’d rather skip that discussion, it runs from 35:21 to 37:57 and then does not come up again after that marker.
“Two to Tangle” (October 14, 1995)
We consider Aladdin to be a crucial stepping point between more kid-focused Disney stuff and full-on dark stuff like Gargoyles, and you know what? This episode holds up pretty well. Thanks goes largely to Jonathan Brandis’ performance as Mozenrath, the most-recurring villain in this TV adaption of a Disney feature and, it has to be said, a big ol’ queen. He’s vain, catty, moody and prettier than most Disney baddies. Really, he works like a DNA mix between Al himself and Jafar. Wonder how that might come about? Hmm…
