I know he had Robin Williams had his battles with Disney re genie and that he didn't want to tied to them for the rest of his career. But that casting was spot on. He is the definitive genie. It is a Disney classic. Friend like me is a great jazz number.
Preach! Can u imagine that they basically had to rewrite the whole genie dialog cuz robin williams was just that good and more or less freestyled the part
Why the heck did this song scare me when I was a toddler? It's so amazing! Edit: Oh, of COURSE my brain confused this song sequence with the Disney short film "Lorenzo". They literally have NO SIMILARITIES except for the colors. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ Stupid toddler me. I'm glad I know better now at 19.5 (almost 20) years old. Edit edit: Now officially 20. Yay, happy birthday to me!
Imma be honest. I'm here because I always misheard the lyric "well all you gotta do is rub like so, heyoo" as "well all you gotta do is rub that glory hole" and I knew I had to be mishearing that shit cause ain't no way
My first wish: have my veins infused with Pokemon powers for easy self-defense (I'm a HUGE scaredy-cat around wasps) My second wish: Turn into a mermaid whenever I hit a large body of water My third wish: For the Genie to always be with me (as in, his lamp would be my heart. He would still have his phenomenal cosmic powers and access to his flying smoke tail whenever he wanted, but he wouldn't have the wrist shackles.)
MY! CARTOON! CRUSH!!!!! I ADORE Genie's slapstick, Loony Tunes-like comedy. Actually, when I went to Disneyland last summer, I met Jasmine & I actually told her that I have a crush on Genie. I was even wearing a blue dress for proof. He & Tigger are my top 2 favorite Disney characters because of how similar their energy levels are.
There are iconic singers, actors, presidents, etc. Robin Williams is an iconic actor. Though apparently sad, he did a lot to make others happy. I dont care, unless you had an AI Robin Williams in a new version, i wouldn't like the genie. RIP Robin Williams.
Little did *I* know that I would grow up to be like the female human version of the Genie. What I mean by that is: • I have a very strong work ethic & love getting tasks done for my bosses • I sometimes break out into singing & dancing WHILE I'M AT WORK & everyone LOVES my singing voice & dance moves • I crack jokes during my shifts sometimes, & my bosses & co-workers LOVE it • I'm very cheerful, even when working • I see all of my bosses & coworkers as friends Me: Genie My current boss: Aladdin My former boss: Jafar (let's just say that he & I had a toxic relationship that involved him screaming at me a lot, therefore making me depressed even though he was INFORMED about my disabilities. No accommodations, constant doubting, lots of mocking. He was MEAN! I would come home crying after my 4-hour shift every time. What made it WORSE was that I needed that job to get through high school. Ugh! 😣 I still have a scar in my brain just reminiscing about it! I'm glad I quit that job.)
I was going to wish that it would thunderstorm all day tomorrow, but I guess I didn't need to since it's already going to happen! Awesome! Now I will be able to continue sewing my floral wreath!
