Interesting fact for those who might not know this, but Robin Williams actually fought HARD for the film's ending. It was originally supposed to end with Daniel (Robin Williams) and Miranda (Sally Field) reconciling their differences and getting back together. But while making the movie, Robin Williams himself was going through a pretty nasty divorce (with 2 children), and he thought it was important for the movie's ending to be as realistic as possible to relay a bittersweet message of hope for families who were or may be going through this type of distressing and life-changing situation. It's hearing little things like that which IMO which really demonstrate what a wonderful soul Robin Williams truly was.

Well i think the studio liked that they could recast him instead of firing him. They were after all going to can the show... I do know that many places are notorious for firing people, but at the same time we often forget that a lot of places, probably most places, also really dread the idea of having to fire people, especially when it's related to non-personal reasons like for example budget. Ofc. firing someone you don't get along with or even know is relatively easy, but at most workplaces you end up becoming friends with the people working there and then firing someone become a lot harder and sometimes even painful, even if it's the best logical decision.

Especially when one of the main leads keep saying, “No, my love don’t do this. We need each other. You need me.”, yeah don’t realize that what they’re causing isn’t what their partner needs.

That was actually on purpose. The original draft for this movie, as I've heard it, was for them to reconcile and get back together, like every other feel good family comedy of that era. But someone, and I don't know who offhand, suggested that they actually address the fact that not every marriage fixes itself, and that there are a LOT of divorced families out there. So they retooled the ending to make it a happy but separate ending, and specifically had Mrs. Doubtfire answer that question as a direct response to the various kids they KNEW would be from a divorced family, and watching that film. So your reaction was very much the intended goal for the creators. To help confused and scared kids, try and make sense of the upheaval of their homelife, and try and make it something not so scary, and more manageable. So it's nice to hear that it worked as intended. :)

Sally Field is incredible. Her performance here is subtle but underrated, and I think the proof of that is how she almost made you cry a couple of times just by delivering her lines. That's the gift of a talented actor who can make you feel everything with just a few words and a look.

[@maximillianosaben]

The hot dog impression is genius!

[@AzazelTheFallen]

No Celebrity Death hit me like Robin Williams' did that last Mrs. Doubfire monologue hits hard every time

[@Ta2dMomx3]

It still hits hard

[@m.hreels9822]

I nearly died laughing when you called that guy the Great Value Bill Nye the Science Guy! 😂🙏🏻🤣 27:32

[@1Cheytown]

Same!!

[@LittleSkin18]

Literally gasped out loud when you said you dont know Dances With Wolves. It's one of thee greatest films, in my opinion. Hopefully, we can get that reaction soon 👀

[@robertshields4160]

I worked the night shift at a hospital, and we sometimes had to call one of the Doctors to clarify an order. Most of the time it was straight forward but every once in a while, we'd get one of the 'sillier' doctors. One of them would give us what we needed for orders and clarification, but he would do it while doing a Mrs. Doubtfire impression. 'Oh, so the little deary is hitting staff? Maybe some Ativan for the nice old lady. She'll be snoozing like a little kitten soon enough.'

[@tonyschannel7438]

Well if you keep going with the James Bond franchise eventually you'll definitely see a lot more Pierce Brosnan.Also the youngest daughter Natalie is played by Mara Wilson who also is the star of Matilda from 1996, a movie which i HIGHLY recommend you watch as soon as you can!

[@redhatpat9387]

She was also the daughter in the latest remake of "Miracle on 34th St."

[@Insaneian]

Sally Fields' boss (Martin Mull) you saw as Colonel Mustard in CLUE. Pierce Brosnan you saw in MARS ATTACKS.

[@brianvernon249]

My late wife & I used to great each other with the “high pitched Helooo” from this movie. Coming home, meeting up after work, after running errands. It was ours. That sound of that greeting makes my throat close up now.

[@HARLEYMK69]

"Be careful with this one, she's an old woman." lol

[@MeisterdiebKid]

Robin Williams is the one person i wish we could get back ❤

[@MrTickleTrunk]

"Mrs Doubtfather" Oddly enough, YUP!

[@Dan-B]

And you just know that a lot of this was just Robin improv and they just kept the camera rolling

[@rebeccagibbs4128]

my favourite is when Robin is dressed like the old jewish woman and says "never buy from a mohel, they are so chewy" in reference to mohel's being Jewish elders who perform circumcisions LOL

[@JeffTiberend]

The girl from the Matilda movie is just so cute and talented. She just makes this movie even better.

[@mattgnome2329]

Just a quick stop, if you haven't seen Dances with Wolves you MUST watch it.

[@itzbp9949]

Only robin could play this character. He was just so perfect at it

[@Lil-Britches]

When he gets BONKED w/lime "It was a run-by fruity" always hilarious it's a fast joke most plp miss. Play on "it was a drive by ......"

[@PatrickWagz]

He says, "Run-by *fruiting"* to get the further effect that it rhymes with & sounds like "shooting".

[@erskine1984]

My childhood. I know every word. No lie. When i was young i hated Miranda but now as a parent i sympathise totally

[@Mitsu2040]

Beans acting up is giving me a throwback to the days in the attic!

[@rmhartman]

Williams said "I won't wax" He was one of the hairiest men. It would have been extremely painful.

[@Billis75]

4:30 - Martin Mull, he was Colonel Mustard in Clue. Also this movie does put you straight in the Thomas Crown Affair crosshairs.

[@notlobparrot3057]

Good call! Ashleigh will go CRAZY for Thomas Crown Affair, guaranteed.

[@gloriouslumi]

And Leon on Roseanne

[@thetxaggie6575]

She also needs to see him in Mr. Mom

[@racing2cat]

"I could look at that man all day." Me, too Ashleigh! Highly recommend "The Thomas Crowne Affair" because he and Rene Russo sizzle!!🙂❤

[@sylvanaire]

Yes, I loved Renee Russo in that movie. A+.

[@williamhardee8863]

Dances With Wolves is another classic you gotta watch.

[@JamesASharp]

Robin Williams is truly one of a kind. Great reaction! 👍🏿

[@MeowMeow_95_]

OH MAN YOURE GOING TO CRYYYYY!!!!!! We saw this in theaters when it first came out when I was a child! The ending of this movie destroyed me emotionally. I actually wasn’t OK for a few weeks afterwards because I was so touched by Robin Williams performance. It was a very bittersweet ending and it just stayed with me all these years

[@stephenolan5539]

The original ending was they get back together at the end. Robin Williams argued against it.

[@geoffwilliams4478]

​@@stephenolan5539I'm glad he did. This was much more realistic and bittersweet.

[@johnbuchanon7717]

In Smokey & the Bandit Sally Field was 16 yrs younger; in Steel Magnolias, 4 yrs younger. I remember her as Gidget & The Flying Nun in the 60s. She has one of those timeless girlish faces. Love it when you begin recognizing some of these references, like his Barbara Streisand imitation before he settled on Mrs. Doubtfire. This was a good movie for a time in America when financial strains were hurting a lot of families but honestly I can’t remember many times that wasn’t the case. Robin was acting out the shared stresses of a lot of people and injecting his humor to help people cope. That was his specialty. Great reaction Ashleigh.

[@ArtByDesign80]

[@aussieguy6908]

I first saw this with my Aunt. We laughed and cried all the way through. One of Robin’s legendary performances.

[@c-puff]

Hi Ashleigh! Animator here! In the west and most english speaking and European countries, we do the voice recording for characters first and let the timing of the dialogue dictate how characters move when we animate them. In japan, however, the animation comes first to give the animation the time it needs to do whatever movements are needed and the voice actors add the dialogue afterwards. The japanese use a stopwatch to time how long dialogue for a scene takes and alot that time while animating. Then the voice actor has to match it. Both ways have their strengths and weaknesses and neither are considered "better" than the other. I'm unsure why in this movie Robin Williams is dubbing over a cartoon like this. But it could be it's supposed to be a foreign cartoon he is dubbing into english. (however the animation for this movie was done by American animator Chuck Jones who created Bugs Bunny. So who knows.) Maybe this part of the story made more sense in the original French movie this was based on.

[@melissaflora8450]

I assume they showed it this way so that we could see both the animation and Robin in the same shot.

[@Arxane]

“Mrs. Doubtful” was actually based on a British young adult book called “Madame Doubtfire” by Anne Fine. The French TV-movie adaptation was made in 2003, eight years after the English adaptation. As for the weird cartoon dubbing in the film, the filmmakers likely did it like this for pacing and to give Robin Williams a chance to flex his vocal chops. Showing him dubbing a cartoon the regular way would’ve likely been less cinematic and less funny.

[@kennethgoin628]

Would you happen to know anyone that would love a great screenplay? I'm releasing book one of a 6-part double trilogy this fall... really think it should be a movie, and it would require animation to do it right. The screenplay is scheduled to be created by screenwriters at Fulton and submitted to their Hollywood studio for motion picture consideration, but they don't do animation. If you have any advice, I'm all ears!

[@c-puff]

@@Arxane Ah! I must have gotten confused with The Birdcage

[@chrisbergsten1429]

Most likely they just wanted to show what Daniel does for a living and weren't concerned with realistically portraying the process. You know, just like EVERYTHING ELSE in movies that's the least bit obscure or technical. _shrug_

[@LABdk]

Sitting at the breakfast table, sipping coffee and mentally saying “where is the Monday Ashleigh video?” Refresh, refresh, refresh… MRS. DOUBTFIRE!!!

[@lastlegend9657]

The ending speech by Daniel/Mrs. Doubtfire makes me tear up every time.

[@JuryRigged]

"I could look at that man all day." Well, you'll have four Bond films to do it, good luck.

[@final_queer]

This is such a comfort movie for me. Even though there's some emotional scenes. It's so nostalgic and can't go wrong with Robin Williams. RIP.

[@PaceFilmsProductions]

As great as Robin Williams is in the movie, Sally Field matches him so well in all their scenes together and she has such a difficult task.

[@danielkillian1222]

Fiddler on the Roof. One of the few musicals you SHOULD watch.

[@LiirThropp2687]

I miss Robin Williams SO much. This is one of my favorites. Look how far he went to spend more time with his kids. He was so desperate to be with them.

[@captgeech]

This movie always gets me because it came out right around the time my own parents got divorced. Robin Williams made such personal and incredible work for so many people in his time

[@davidthomas7456]

Ashleigh you mentioned Dances with Wolves. This is THE Kevin Costner movie you should watch. Winner of 10 Academy Awards

[@JebWCManning]

Since you liked this, I'm begging you to check out The Fisher King. It's written and directed by Terry Gilliam, one of the members of Monty Python. It's funny, heartwarming, and, at times, utterly heartbreaking. It also shows off Robin Williams acting range and energy. It's so good, and it would make for such a good reaction.

[@John_Locke_108]

One of his best films. Absolutely incredible.

[@YouLousyKids]

A RARE heartwarming movie from Terry Gilliam, a director whose work is often more artistic than enjoyable. Amanda Plummer kind of steals that film, though.

[@crickets7695]

Yes! The Fisher King is amazing.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

Mrs Doubtfire always makes me think of Dame Edna (Barry Humphries). He passed away a month and a half ago.

[@RedSpade37]

Oh my gosh, Dame Edna passed? I had no idea. Didn't hear a thing. Rest in Peace.

[@therealrobschroeder]

Reference One is "Fiddler On The Roof" and Reference Two is Barbara Streisand

[@shaneyoung3407]

I went through this about 8 years ago and when I watched this with my kids years before that, I knew it was coming. That scene when she comes home mad and says she wants a divorce. I knew that day would be coming. Still makes my cry. That shit is real

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

"Yeah i bet you're freaking out little kid" 😂😂

[@AllyStrikesBack]

Behind the scenes, Robin would go into adult stores in character, bought "toys" & no one realised it was him.
