Robin Williams’ casting as the Genie in Aladdin is often talked about as a turning point when the focus on casting big name actors for animated films began. But is that true? The animator behind the character says: not quite.

back in 1940. In the 1950s, they cast Ed Wynn and Jerry Colonna as the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, respectively [in], and they were both vaudeville and radio comedians. Very, very well known,” says Goldberg.

“And truth be told, Disney films went more for the characterization than the gut-busting laugh, let's put it that way. Hopefully with a character like the Genie, we got both. And with this humor, there had never been that kind of humor in a Disney film before. So we all kind of felt a little subversive, you know, sticking this stuff in a Disney movie and just wondering if we're going to be be allowed to keep it in.

.’ But that's part of the whole job is trying to sell them on this thing that they don't know about, you know? And then they do always go kind of for the bigger star.”
