Trivia[]
- Castellaneta was originally supposed to reprise his role as the voice of the Genie from The Return of Jafar and the Aladdin TV series in the second Aladdin sequel, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.[1] Although he had recorded all his lines, when Disney brought back Robin Williams, all recordings made by Castellaneta went unused, and new recordings by Williams were used.[2]
