 |

Link to the article is here:

...the nine-minute short reportedly brings more than four hundred characters from Disney’s century-long history back to life.
Some who saw the film firsthand at the festival described it as “Night at the Museum with Disney characters.” |
Josh Gad confirmed they're using old archival audio for Genie on his instagram:
| Quote: |
| Now that it’s premiered at Annecy, I’m so excited to finally have the world see what @DisneyAnimation has created to celebrate the incredible 100 year legacy of the studio. I nearly cried when I was told Olaf would appear alongside the Genie, utilizing previously unheard audio from my idol #RobinWilliams |

This also likely means Scott, Linda, etc. will be part of the project, too!  |

I'm surprised they can actually use old recordings of Robin Williams. Weren't those not allowed for another 16 years?
Still... I can't deny. I'm actually excited for this 1, even if it's short.

They got special permission from his estate. Josh Gad weighed in on fans being upset Disney was doing this:
| Quote: |
| "Won’t say more but this was not done to my knowledge without the consent of [his] family. Please don’t spread misinformation before getting facts. I knew Robin personally, and would never agree to do anything unless I knew that it had consent. In fact, I know for a fact, Disney did not do this without reaching out to the Estate. They had the blessing before ever committing to doing this beautiful tribute to my hero.” |

Ah alright, that's reassuring to hear. Good on him clarifying this to the fans!

I just saw the trailer and it looks pretty adorable, especially since we are able to see a few obscure Disney characters in the background of the video. I love that Genie is being given some spotlight (even if he has to share it with Olaf who I find to be a tad annoying), but I am curious how Disney is planning to use Robin Williams' archival audio files. I would assume that they are quite specific to scenes from the original movie (or King of Thieves), so it will be interesting to see how that will be done.
If anything, that just means the other Aladdin characters might have more than just a quick appearance in this short. Nothing wrong with that...

Yeah, the biggest draw for me is the 'archival' footage because I'm absolutely going to try and piece together where that could have been used in the movies  |

I agree, I am also curious to see what the audio sounds like and try to figure out where it could have been used in the original movie.
I am really looking forward to seeing this full short as soon as I can.

I hope this goes online in HD, but right now it's a print for cast members I believe. Either way I just wanted to let you all know Aladdin and Jasmine are still dedicated to touching even in a group photo
The gang's all here!

Oh my goodness, that picture is so amazing and I wish I had worked at Disney at some point to get my hands on it. I wonder if they will be selling said picture at the Disney Parks after this event because I am going in March 2024.
Aladdin and Jasmine are just doing what they can for their fans.

All the gang had quick cameos:
Genie's part I'm assuming is left over from his intro at the Cave of Wonders. He just knocks over Olaf instead of Aladdin when he comes out the paper. "I ain't seen a fall like that since Rome"
Aladdin's "Okay, see yah there!" line sounds not pieced together/new even if his animation isn't? (and he's as clumsy as always <3)
Carpet flying Mr. Toad out the door and around the sorcerer hat on top of the studio was cute (and I'm sure some kind of cheeky reference to old Mr. Toad's Wild Ride attraction at the parks)
Iago and Jafar knowing this wasn't going to work out the moment they gave Goofy the camera
Jasmine solemnly heading to the door when the camera breaks is so funny to me. Girl, you should have been like "All this magic across 100 years of movies and NONE of us can fix it?? Genie can give you a digital camera instead - whatever that is" |

Oh, also! Everyone who spoke briefly (Genie, Aladdin, Abu) has the same voice actor except Iago. It's now Piotr Michael  |
