Let ’s confront it , thanks to the Genie inAladdin , there have been scads and tons of Disney characters and sidekicks that have render to imitate his frenzied magical spell but could never hope to retroflex it . From Mushu toOlaf , there have been many imitators , but none will ever charm the wizard ofRobin Williams ' characterization of the bragging blue formal of pop - culture references .
Armed to the teeth with zany one - lining and improvised impressions , Williams much loses himself in this office , much to the pleasure of the rooter . The comic certainly impart his A - game to the part , and to this day his Genie has set the standard for comedic Disney character with his earmark humor .
A Few Provisos
Nearly everyone who has seen this film is conversant with the three rules about Genie ’s wishing . He ca n’t pop anybody ( so do n’t require ) , he ca n’t make anyone strike in sexual love with anyone else , and he ca n’t contribute people back from the dead . This would be middling shortened and dry on its own , but not with Williams at the mic . His aptitude for funny voices twin with Eric Goldberg ’s mystifying aliveness makes simple instructions into one of his standup bit .
Made Ya Look!
Brevity is the soul of wit but even with Robin William ’s slipping in a last - min jape before the recognition tramp , he still manages to get one more jape from the audience before flying the coop . It ’s more of a optic jest courtesy of some creative animators , but it ’s still an trope rooter remember .
hold the persona of the character and the personality behind the man who play him , it ’s no surprisal that Disney would require to give the genie the last parole .
Tell Her The TRUTH!
If there ’s one matter Williams does oft in this motion picture , it ’s famous person impressions . Again , this instance is another optic gag , but it ’s led by a slickJack Nicholsonimpression conform to by Genie ’s wild animated antics with a neon blackboard .
Like the previously name entranceway , it ’s the icon that stays with the viewers , along with the Genie ’s salvia advice . ask to make a good impression ? Ya got ta be a straight - shooter and tell her the truth . Simple yet in force .
Making Aladdin A Prince
The full sequence lead up to the " Prince Ali " figure is rife with comedic gold . From Genie quickly changing his form to using his magic trick to morph Abu into various animate being in the appendage of making royalty out of Aladdin , the one - liner and wizard liveliness fly like firework at the oasis .
An Out Of Movie Experience
It might be cheating to include a bit from one of the subsequence films , butAladdin and the King of Thievesdid markthe return of Robin Williamsto the series . That being tell , he might have gone a piffling overboard with the various voices , not that anyone is complaining . But his sudden transformation intoLion King ’s Pumbaa is one that for certain acquire the Disney fan ' attention . It was an " out of movie experience " that had him take the fourth wall with him after record .
His First Introduction
First mental picture are everything , as they say . In roughly two minutes , Genie move through every element of his routine that seduce him memorable .

What a way to leave a target on the viewers in such a short fourth dimension .
As The Merchant
Though he might be wearing the face of a pint - sized desert merchant , this fictitious character is undoubtedly the Genie , or at the very least Williams flexing his comedic chopper . The merchant scene was supposedly all ad-lib with props in a recording studio , and even the bit about the broken kalian was extemporize . When a studio apartment signed on Robin Williams to play a character in their motion-picture show , one matter they could for sure matter on was his gift for improv wit .
“I’m History! No, I’m Mythology!”
Ever learn the phrase " it ’s laughable ‘cause it ’s lawful ? " Not only does Robin Williams know how to make an entrance as this character , but he does quite a comedic exit as well . How many other Disney characters literally give the moving picture ?
After Genie make his cartoonish farewells to Aladdin , Jasmine , and the eternal rest , he calls out " I ’m history ! No , I ’m mythology ! " along with a few other choice musical phrase before exploding into firework . It ’s a zany , over - the - top grand exit only too befitting of the character .
Post Credits Antics
Those dedicated Disney fans out there who splurged for the Diamond Edition Blu - Ray of theAladdinwere treated to this minuscule extra dosage of Robin Williams if they stayed for the Wiley Post - credits . Since the Genie demolish the fourth rampart with an iron - spiked sledge , it have complete and thoroughgoing sense he would stick around till after the movie was over to give one last au revoir to the viewers . A meet contribution as the variant was released after William ’s untimely cash in one’s chips .
Itty Bitty Living Space
" Phenomenal cosmic power , itty bitty living distance . " It might not be the most comedic line in the picture , but it ’s probably the most quoted one from the theatrical role . It ’s an ironic twist to company Genie ’s large - than - life-time manner . He probably has the most wizardly abilities out of any magically imbued character in the Disney canon but is spring to the lifestyle of the lamp . At least he gets get out once every few millennia .
