We all know that a Disney movie can only be as good as its villain, and they’ve created some great ones over the years. One of the best and most memorable villains is Aladdin’s rival Jafar.

Disney’s “Aladdin” celebrated its 25th anniversary last week and Oh My Disney’s Alexys Gabrielle sat down with Jonathan Freeman, the voice of the sinister villain, to watch the animated classic and discuss some of the work that went into creating it.
