Trina Q, when Robin Williams passed away, I was in shock and disbelief. However, when I rewatched all of his old interviewers, I saw a profound sadness, now better known and understood as Depression, in his eyes. When other celebrities have passed away, I felt bad for their family members and friends, but this, this was the first time I felt bad for my generation. My mom’s (The woman who with her husband began the children’s home where I was raised.) great grandson got to meet him. At the time, he had no idea who Robin was except for the voice of ‘Genie’ in “Aladdin”. I say, “At the time” because her great grandson was only about preschool to early elementary school age. Of all of his work I’ve seen, I enjoyed all of it. I fell in love with “The Crazy One’s”. R.I.P., Robin. We still miss you down here.

What about Morgan Freeman in "The Lego Movie"? In the scene where all the master-builders are gathered in Cloud Cuckoo Land, Morgan Freeman's character, Vitruvius, says "Alright. You gotta write all that down, 'cause I'm not gonna remember any of it, but here we go." Freeman was actually getting frustrated at the producers for changing his lines. They decided to just use that quote instead of his real scripted line.

I remember reading somewhere that when somebody from the Archives department went to the script writers for "The Emperor's New Groove" for a copy of the script, they said "we have no script". So much of the movie was improvised by the actors that there was no official script.

[@JBDude52]

Top 3 (In my opinion): 1. Fiona's belch 2. Do the Hula 3. Bucky or Binky? Fiona's belch was the most unscripted animation moment on this list because the actress was drinking soda and she belched it out, which cause the actors to react while staying in character, that's completely unscripted and you don't see or hear those rare occasions often, which is why it is on top. Do the Hula was another famous and unscripted moment because it was a sneaking or diversion plan that the writers try to get the actors to make their own. When I heard it was unscripted, I was like "yup, this is a worthy contender for most unscripted!" because it is a famous scene. And the last one was unscripted by a kid actor and the argument scene was really good, especially with the corrections. The fact that Joaquin Phoenix missaid his name, and then Jeremy Suarez corrected him for the misname that was unscripted was quite funny.

[@sonyasandoval1477]

One movie that was left out was Robots. There's a scene where the the robots are getting ready to storm the evil female robot's stronghold (can't remember her name), and Rodney Copperbottom gives this motivational speech that ends with the line "it's time to show them what we're made of!" Robin Williams ad-libs "In my case, it's a rare metal called Afraidium. It's yellow, and tastes like chicken!" He then lays an egg!

I’m surprised there isn’t a better entry for Jackman. I saw him on broadway doing the Music Man.

Things like that are done in post production so I really doubt she actually heard how her voice will sound like before the movie was already released.

[@imnotcrazy7108]

My drama group has a reputation for improvising during shows, whether they know their lines or not. Stuff we do during practice often worms its way into the final productions. For example, in our production of Into the Woods, we were working on I Know Things Now, and the actress playing Granny jokingly started hacking at the actor playing the wolf with our prop knife. We found it hysterical, so the directors just had her chopping away at our wolf throughout the whole song. Another gem was our entire production of Hamlet. Horatio making faces at the audience ala The Office whenever Hamlet continued to be insane, Ghost King Hamlet bringing a Starbucks cup onstage for no reason, Laertes cracking stupid puns during the fencing match… we had a great time. I’m very excited for our next production and am waiting in anticipation for all the chaos that will unfold during Peter Pan.

Hey, "Monsters, Inc." also benefited from more than one actor in the recording booth. Billy Crystal, at the start of recording, asked why he couldn't work with John Goodman there with him.

There may not have been as many great lines in that as in some of these other movies, but I suspect they raised the movie up to another level.

Still love the " Whoah is my hair out?" Unscripted or not in Hercules, it makes me laugh every time.

Luau is the best thing in The Lion King; I mean it’s catchy and funny.

[@jaclynsanture6643]

The Emperor's New Grove improvisations were hilarious 😅😂

Improve is the spice that makes an animated movie memorable.

OMFG the bad puns..

I have never seen most of these movies. But ad-libs from RobinWilliams are no surprise.

Oh my God, Eldorado is and always has been my favorite movie of all time, because of the duo Tulio and Miguel! I mean, I have seen that movie so many times that whenever I see it, I can quote almost every line in the movie, which many find irritating if I watch it with someone😂 I mean, even as a kid I saw the chemistry between these guys and thought they were hilarious- hence the reason for me to watch it over and over again. I even had a period of time where I would watch the movie twice in 1 day, and then watch it again where I skipped to my favorite parts, and this was not just for 1 day, I did this same routine every day for maybe 1-2 weeks because I was obsessed with it! It really is a masterpiece for me😂😍🥰

Robbie Williams improvised a lot on the genie more then the scripted version

The hours upon hours of recording we'll never get to hear....

[@TheWolfspirit22]

I swear the hula scene in The Lion King has rolling every time XD

[@sf-dn8rh]

Surprised Disney robin hood didn't make the list, cause it was suppose to be set originally in the wild west, and a lot of the lines were adlibs since a lot of the cast were western actors. Love to see a list of adlibs in cartoons shorts and shows, there was rumer Mel blanc ad lib quite a bit. Especially as Sam.

Def should have included Tom Selleck's portrait. And more Robin, he ad-libbed so much as the Jeanie

[@meagansefner3215]

Sigh. I hated that Treasure Planet didn't get the recognition it deserved when it was released... it's one of my favorite movies ever

In memory of Robin Williams & Gilbert Gottfried

I'm just happy that my favorite disney movie made it on this list ❤

[@nicolehegarty4749]

I love Alice In Wonderland so much and I love the behind the scenes especially for the Mad Hatter's unbirthday tea ♥️ Watching the voice actors live act it etc ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing!

[@katiesherman6517]

8:20 that is still one of my favorite lines "Is this an audience or a mosaic?"
