I loved The Rock as Maui because you could tell that all parties were passionate about the project, even if he isn't the greatest singer or anything, I still enjoyed his performance.

Robin Williams was the first and only celebrity death that rocked me to my core. Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire, Mr. Keating were characters who were truly uplifting and transformative to me. I miss him still.

This entire saga really makes you respect WIlliams as a man of principle. He did films like Ferngully because he was supportive of it's environmental message, and only continued doing the Genie for education roles. Toys was a film he was passionate about and wanted it to do well and didn't want any of the fame that came from his role in Aladdin. Unfortunately Disney is the exact opposite of that.

I believe Moana shows this point well.

It's honestly kind of crazy how Ghibli movies always had more A and B list actors in their movies than Disney movies, and it's even crazier when you consider the fact that they used to distribute them for a long time.

This world did not deserve Robin Williams. He’s one of the only celebrities that I legitimately felt sad when I heard that he was no longer with us.

One of my biggest problems with celebrity voices in animation, is the fact that traditional voice actors get relegated to television roles.

I still get sad when I think Robin Williams is no longer with us or when the anniversary of his death roles around. There simply won't be anyone like him ever again.

And as some European that grew up with dubs, this whole celebrity thing did not really matter. Great vid btw.

As someone who worked on "Hercules," "Tarzan," and "Ferngully," (you can look me up in the IMDb), at the big meetings headed up by the execs, it would have been shocking to contrast the suits with the artists, except that we all understood how much money influenced things. Working for Disney was the first time I ever NEEDED to get a contract lawyer to go over those details. Never got to meet Mr. Williams though....sigh....

I love that Robin's daughter also took to animation and voice acting. I realy enjoyed Zelda's performance as Kuvira in Legend of Korra. She made a very convincing dictator.

"After Aladdin was released, EVERY Disney movie had a Genie knockoff featuring some extremely bankable comedic talent."

Fun fact.. almost 90% of robin williams lines in the movies where his own improv. His lines where WAY funnier.. so they kept them.
