Bless Robin Williams. He provided a great number of hours of raw ad-libbed lines for his role as the Genie that the creators couldn’t fit the entirety of them in the film.😅 Fortunately, there is some footage of said ad-libbed lines that weren’t used in the final cut that was released by Disney and they are hilarious!

Fun fact: the outfit Genie has at the end of the movie with the Goofy hat is an homage to the part he played in "Back to Neverland", the film that accompanied the animation tour at the (back then) MGM Studios in Orlando. Aladdin is my favorite of all the Disney movies. I was 8 when it first came out, and I've been collecting stuff for it ever since. Toys, memorabilia, oddities, fine art, figurines, just everything. I daresay after almost 30 years I probably have one of - if not THE - biggest Aladdin collections at least in the US. I honestly don't want to think about how much money I have sunk into it. lol

Aladdin, is still one of my favorite animated films from my childhood. I loved seeing it in theaters in 1992. It was incredible on the big screen.

[@justsomeguywholovesberserk6375]

Fun Fact: Robin Williams voiced the Genie for SAG scale pay ($75,000), on condition that his name or image not be used for marketing, and his (supporting) character not take more than 25% of space on advertising artwork, since Toys was scheduled for release one month after Aladdin's debut. For financial reasons, the studio went back on the deal on both counts, especially in poster art by having the Genie in 25% of the image, but having other major and supporting characters portrayed considerably smaller."

[@matveynoname7083]

Yeah, I know that fact. Disney returned him in the third DVD triquel, instead of Dan Castellaneta, who voiced Genie in the second movie.

[@twist58]

Unfortunately, Robin would be in bad terms again with Disney in 1999 after the financial failure Bicentennial Man. He blamed the poor marketing and promotion done for that film and never forgave them. At least until 2009 when the studio themselves dubbed him a Disney Legend and is now in their Hall of Fame.

I’ve been saying this all my life, the new Disney movies are great. But there is no competition, the older ones are the best!(in my opinion) Also Jafar is my favorite Disney villain so far, all his evil traits, plus being smart(up until the end) makes him a very challenging villain for the hero to defeat.

Yeah, Razoul is voiced by Jim Cummings who have done the voice of Pete since the early 90's and still does to this day. He also voices Winnie the Pooh and Tigger since the retirements and later deaths of Sterling Holloway and Paul Winchell, Montgoverny Jack in Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Ray in The Princess and The Frog, plus many more cartoon voice acting.

[@matveynoname7083]

Al and Jasmine are like Han Solo & Princess Leia

[@PuccaLover15]

Interesting factoid: this movie in the first to show a princess not getting married at the end. Genie tricked us (the “made you look”) by thinking they were, but if you watch the sequels (the second one isn’t good but the third is decent), they stayed boyfriend-girlfriend until the third movie when they were getting married.

As a middle eastern dude, this movie was THE only representation I had in my childhood in movies and media, and I fell in love with it. Still one of my absolute favorite movies to this day. Doesn’t help that I’m a hopeless romantic and a robin williams stan, so this movie is really the perfect Disney movie for me

[@MetaLatias5]

Aladdin's gotta be my favorite classic Disney movie, alongside Hercules and Atlantis The sequels (especially The Return of Jafar) do have a noticably lower quality, as was usual back then, but personally I was never bothered by that, since I also loved to watch the TV series (which has about the same quality as the second movie and is supposed to take place right after it; unfortunately Robin Williams only voices Genie in movies 1 and 3, but in my opinion Dan Castellaneta still does a great job in The Return of Jafar and the series) I'd say the sequels are worth checking out if you enjoy the characters and want to see where they go from here Also little fun fact about the series- or rather the Disney's Hercules TV series: There's an episode called Hercules and The Arabian Night which as the name suggests is a crossover between Hercules and Aladdin and while it's sadly lagging in Genie-screentime, it is a lot of fun, especially with the villain team up it gives us (chronologically it takes place after the third Aladdin movie btw)

[@nickperkins8477]

The guy who voices Aladdin is Scott Weinger. He also played Steve in the Full House TV franchise.

[@speedracer2008]

6:48 The Latin Spanish dub of this line is even funnier. Jafar doesn't even refer to Gazeem by name. He just calls him "this thief".

[@ВалентинЖданов-р9е]

You need to watch the whole trilogy) In fact, this cartoon occupies a special place in my memory and heart not only because of Robin Williams, but because of Alan Menken, who was at that time the main composer of Disney, the Sega Mega Drive 2 game, an animated series in which, by the way, there was a crossover with Hercules)

[@jessfleury3761]

Fun facts about this movie: Robin Williams was always the number one choice to play the genie. So much so that in order to convince Robin to play Genie the animators did story boards of the genie doing Robin’s comedy to convince him to take the role. Later when recording for the movie, Robin did so much improve in the studio recording room that the animators knew they had to include it. So a lot of the stuff you see in the movie was just Robin doing improve. You should look up behind the scenes stuff for Genie ideas that were not in the film.

[@XxDarkManaxX]

Little fun fact: The role of Genie was actually created for Robin Williams and most of his jokes and lines were improvised

[@shadowwynd6641]

The animators had a philosophy called “hurt the bird” to prevent things from getting stale, they would randomly come up with a creative way to injure Iago.

[@IconicEnemy]

22:27 Honestly, I can’t give you that much credit for that one because that’s literally a no-brainer. That’s what every genie wishes for in every story. Because that’s a thing with genies, they’re the most powerful mythological creatures of all time second only to I don’t know gods but they’re tied to a magic lamp, which means they can’t wish for themselves so all they want is freedom that’s just how genies work

Aladdin "used up" his second wish when Genie helped him out of the sea, as he wished for Aladdin and by taking his "nod" as a yes, he could grant the wish. In a sense Genie "manuipulated" his master to make a wish but it's just for he wanted to save him but couldn't do it unless he wished for it, as Al was unconcious.

In case you're wondering why Robin Williams was perfect for this role is because the Genie was literally made to be played by him. In some behind the scenes stuff the creators said that they partially animated the Genie to some audio clips of some of Robin's comedy sketches to try to sell him on doing the role. They also admitted that if Robin had turned the role down, they had no idea who they were gonna consider for the role next.
