Gilbert Gottfried left behind at least 200 hours of content on his Cameo page as well as secret outtakes from him in the role as the parrot Iago in Disney's 1992 animated "Aladdin" film.
The film's co-directors John Musker and Ron Clements thought Gottfried, who died on April 12 at the age of 67, was the perfect person to bring the villainous bird to life in the movie and he landed the role after the filmmakers played a clip of Gottfried’s film, "Beverly Hills Cop II" to then-Walt Disney Studios head Jeffrey Katzenberg, according to The Ringer.
He turned out to be the perfect foil to Robin Williams' blue witty Genie.
As Clements pointed out, "Aladdin" was more of a comedy than most other Disney films.
"We thought Gilbert could bring some of that kind of humor earlier in the movie," he said. And Gilbert did. He was allowed to improvise some of his lines and while many made it into the final version of the film, there were others that were not included, and are likely to still exist.
In a Reddit AMA in 2016, Gottfried said: "The makers of 'Aladdin' were very open to have me improvise," the New York Post reported. "They gave me a lot of freedom but often they would have to stop and go, ‘Gilbert, this is a family film.'
The 30th anniversary is the perfect time to make an unseen footage segment from Robin and Gilbert. Release the raunch, Disney ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Love how he is described as witty Genie, since the movie is aimed at toddlers it depends on what is said in the footage.
November is going to be a huge field day for my collection 👉👈 |

I think it's more aimed at all ages or better term, for families. Even the makers said that in that quote.
Oh I sure would love to those unreleased recordings of those 2, but is this really the time for that? I know 30th anniversary and all, just feels a bit too early for me...
Guess we will see what will happen in upcoming months. _________________ You know your sanity is long gone when your favourites are a boy genius, a wacky genie, a mad man with a box and a deathberry ![Razz](images/smiles/icon_razz.gif) |

I mean, the 30th isn't until later this year and no one on this cast - let alone any of us - are getting any younger, so.... |

Aw
Also, slightly offended they used that bird instead of the even more obvious one, but I guess that would have made the answer easier ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

Very sad No matter how many characters he voiced, his standout work will always be Iago. He is Iago! Rest in peace _________________ Occupation: Evil incarnate
