> > I thought this sounded funny, and just confirmed with www.imdb.com-- The Return of Jafar did NOT feature Robin Williams. The voice of the Genie was done by Dan Castellaneta (of Simpsons fame). This was a major disappointment. Robin Williams DID return as the Genie in the third movie, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and as a result, the third movie was much more enjoyable than the second.

Didn't Disney use Williams image and voice for all of the promotions and so on without getting Williams permission, or they didn't pay him royalties for using his voice in various Disney promotions, or something like that?

Sorry, I guess I'm rambling a bit, I believe it was something along those lines.
