Disney should go back to casting less known voice actors than the current celebrities they use today. They chose voices that better fit the character and story. Robin Williams is/was the exception. That was a genius casting choice.

[@edenbunn3536]

Green4CloveR Robin Williams pretty much kicked off the trend of famous people in animated movies there only to make money

[@chelc3474]

I was about to say the same thing. Robin Williams being cast in Aladdin, and them exploiting him every chance they could against his will, and his contract, is the reason they cast celebrities instead of voice actors. Disney made record money backstabbing him. Robin Williams was so outraged by how they betrayed him when he played that role. They knew his only condition to signing on to the movie was that he wanted them to sell the movie, and not him; to keep the reason he was doing the role to begin with pure. (He wanted to have a fun movie to share with his children.) Long story short, Robin told disney they were despicable, disney said they didnt think hed take being exploited for profit so hard, Robin basically said f u, and walked. Thats why the dude that plays Homer Simpson was Genie in the second movie, that they barely put time into animating properly, before they promptly threw that crap straight to vhs and dvd. Because disney selling out Robin that hard after conning him to do the part with lies, Disney lost him, lost his respect, and it cost them a lot to win him back for the third installment of the series. Which disney didnt mind, because they made a ton on him the first time.
