The show was so popular that it ran for eighty-six episodes (two seasons), one of the few exceptions to Disney's sixty-five-episode limit. Others being DuckTales (1987), which had one hundred episodes (four seasons), Darkwing Duck (1991) had ninety-one episodes (three seasons), Phineas and Ferb (2007) that had 160 episodes and ran for (4 Seasons), and Kim Possible (2002) that had 87 Episodes (4 Seasons).
Though the series followed The Return of Jafar (1994) chronologically, it actually premiered just before the movie. So certain elements (such as why Iago was a "good guy" and why the Genie was still with them) were unexplained. The opening credits originally included scenes from The Return of Jafar (1994). By the second season, many of the clips were replaced by scenes from previous episodes.
Many episodes were based upon old stories.
The creators explained that Rajah's infrequent appearances were due to the fact that a tiger's moving stripes are difficult to animate, particularly since the show's budget was not enormous.
According to the DVD commentary, the writers' motto was "When in doubt, hurt the bird."
