Yes, That Is the Genie. Posted on Friday, October 1. Angie Han. The internet is bursting with fan theories about popular films, some more plausible than others, and it seems like new ones get added to the pile every day. But its not often one actually gets verified by someone who should know. Aladdins theatrical release, directors Ron Clement and John Musker have finally confirmed one of the most enduring theories surrounding Robin Williams Genie. Find out what it is after the jump. Fans long ago noticed that the peddler at the beginning of Aladdin is also voiced by Williams, giving rise to speculation that hes actually the Genie in disguise. Well, we can put the debate to rest once and for all. In honor of the films Diamond Edition Blu ray release, Clements and Musker sat down with EDisney films. During that conversation, they verified the peddler Genie theory is 1. I saw something that speculates that the peddler at the beginning of Aladdin is the Genie. Thats true That was the whole intention, originally. We even had that at the end of the movie, where he would reveal himself to be the Genie, and of course Robin did the voice of the peddler. Just through story changes and some editing, we lost the reveal at the end. So, thats an urban legend that actually is true.

UPDATE And you can see the original Aladdin ending, which reveals that the peddler is the Genie, below. Thanks to Film reader Ryan for the tip While that particular theory holds up, Musker, Clements, and actor Scott Weinger who voiced Aladdin were happy to debunk some othersNo, Aladdin is not set in a distant post apocalyptic future. Musker claimed he hadnt even heard this particular one. In truth, he explained, Aladdin was originally supposed to be set in Baghdad, but was moved to a fictional country after the breakout of the first Gulf War. But no, we never thought it was post apocalyptic, futuristic or in some other time, he said. No, Aladdin does not whisper take off your clothes. Sorry, perverts. Weinger explained why theres no way he wouldve done such a thing I feel bad because people are so excited to figure it out, but its not true the thing about Aladdin saying, Take off your clothes. There are websites dedicated to it. Like, If you play it in slow motion at this frame rate, you can tell that hes definitely saying that. The truth is that I never said it. I never said it I feel bad being a myth buster, although its probably a good one to bust. Let me tell you, being in the recording studio with Robin Williams, wanting to do a good job and not blow it, theres no way I would have made some dirty joke. No, Aladdin and Jasmine are not the shooting star in Hercules. To be fair, Clements and Musker directed Hercules as well as Aladdin, so its not that far fetched to think theyd include a subtle Easter egg referencing their previous work. But Clements shoots down that notion Pegasus is sort of watching over Hercules until he joins with him. At the D23 expo, Disney announced the main cast for Guy Ritchies upcoming liveaction Aladdin remake, starring Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, and Will Smith. Transformers 4 Dual Hindi Full Movie Mp4.

Though no one, I guess, can ever know for sureThat may or may not be the King and Queen of Arendelles sunken ship in The Little Mermaid. Although Clements and Musker directed The Little Mermaid, they had to admit they werent sure about this one. We dont really know on our end with Frozen, and Ive never really asked director Chris Buck, said Clements. Musker found the theory interesting, but added, Its like fan fiction. Buck has previously confirmed a certain connection between Tarzan and Frozen, and he managed to slip a Tangled cameo into Frozen so secret that Tangled director Nathan Greno didnt even notice. But he has yet to say whether the Little Mermaid  Frozen connection holds up. Cool Posts From Around the Web.
