Well, it's ironic that my name is Megan and I most identify with Meg and a little bit of Esmerelda. Ariel in there too, mostly for my love of singing however.
If I ever get the chance to sing for Disney, my life would be complete, and I would die happy.

Hey - I'd sing those stupid songs for money.
My dream is to sing a song as a disney character. I would give anything for that to happen... but I wouldn't want to sing a song like that.
I'm talkin' like a Meg song from "HERCULES"... that would make my life complete.
that's what i'm talking about. i love the song "i won't say i;'m in love" that's so my personality
my personality is like a mix of jasmine, ariel, mulan, belle and meg. odd mix, eh? with a bit of aladdin mixed in, too. someday i vow i must do the voice and singing voice for a disney princess. think someday i'll try out to be a princess at WDW. i look like ariel and snow white. i could pull off jasmine, wthough, and that's who i'd wantot be most of all. or i could be aurora...

No, RoJ was very meant for TV. As the first four episodes of the TV series. Tad Stones himself stated this in an interview Heather posted a while ago.
EDIT: Right here.
Whose idea was it to turn Aladdin into a series?
TS: It was kind of a no-brainer; you had this movie that made $150 million. Some of the episodes I loved more than others, the ones that had more of an Arabian Nights feel.
I had been thinking that while the genie is great, he's not a normal character. He's crazy because he was Robin Williams who could bring in all this Warner Bros. craziness into a Disney show. Few people realize that even before he shows up, Aladdin is a great movie. I thought Iago was a great character, he was funny, and mean, and Gilbert Gottfried's voice fit perfectly. I said "I want the parrot in there," but he was trapped in the lamp [at the end of the Aladdin movie], so we came up with a story of how he got out and ended up with Aladdin.
The big history-making thing that came out of the show was up to that time we would always do a four or five-part special that would be played vertically as a movie like on a Friday night, and then on Monday the series would start. Some were more episodic than others. I called up the Disney home video division and said, "By definition I'm doing a sequel to Aladdin; are you guys interested? They said "No, not really." We don't want to make a few hundred million more, right? Then they released Aladdin. It was huge, obviously. I called them again and reminded them we were doing the sequel to Aladdin. If we got it done in time, it could be out a few months before the series premiered. This time they said, "We'll get back to you."
Return of Jafar was made for about $3.5 million. It made more than $100 million domestically and created the home video market for Disney. Arguably — and I won't deny this — it probably played a hand in killing off Disney features in that now there's a lot of animation out there on video shelves. If you're a parent you're saying, "Do I buy tickets to the movie, or do I buy the new video that they can watch a hundred times?"
Anyway, our film was always intended as a feature-length story —
JS: — that set up the premise for the series.
TS: Exactly, and it did fantastic. Now at the time I was told that Peter Schneider, who was in charge of Feature Animation was at a meeting with Michael Eisner. Peter said, "You shouldn't do sequels, their quality hurts the Disney reputation," and Michael said, "I'm not sure we should be doing these either." The next part of the meeting was, "It cost $3.5 million to make and made over $100 million. Well, what should the next one be?"

This was not originally meant for TV. It was not a theatrical release, Disney tends to not spend so much money on Direct to Video releases. Look at The Lion King & The Lion King 2. The animation is much worst in the second movie.... not that it is all that great in the first. The King of Thieves had better graphics, etc... but they also had "Starring Robin Williams" to slap on the box cover. Also, they knew the success of Aladdin for sure at this point. Look at The Lion King, it was a great success... the Lion King 2 was not. You never know how well a sequal is going to fair out....

I'm sure if Jasmine was a "singer", there'd be a couple of songs in the series, too.
Alas, she is but a mere ass-kicker. ^^
And what an ass-kicker she is.

ROJ isn't a tv show. It was tv series episodes before it was turned into a "movie". They lead into the Aladdin series.
You can kinda tell because there are a few spots that they lead to like "commercial" opportunities... and good ending spots for where it seems they were going to stop for the next ep.

Well, I guess I have to say I'm a bit suprised that there isn't so much info out there about this. It leads me to believe it is just a rumour and nothing more. Well, it could be more but it don't seem there is any proof of it.
There is some artwork from the original plan... and there are plenty of sites where art directors talk about it, plus there is probably something said somewhere in some book...
I don't think a rumor like this is simply made up. Plus, you have to admit that the animation is just as bad in both.
