Trivia
- Castellaneta was originally supposed to reprise his role of the Genie from The Return of Jafar and the Aladdin TV show in the second sequel of Aladdin, Aladdin and the King of Thieves.[1] Although he recorded all his lines, when Disney brought back Robin Williams, all recordings made by Castellaneta went unused and new recordings by Williams were used.[2]
