The movie introduced the world to the "Prince Ali" charm of the street rat Aladdin and the independent spirit of Princess Jasmine. But perhaps more importantly, it featured the voice-acting masterclass of Robin Williams as the Genie. Williams' improvisation and rapid-fire impersonations redefined what voice acting could be, turning a supporting character into the soul of the film.

Smoke exploded into a towering blue form: a Genie, voiced like jazz and chaos, with the power to grant three wishes—no killing, no making anyone fall in love, no raising the dead.

The Genie’s heart—though made of cosmic energy—broke a little. “You’re not the boy I thought you were,” he said quietly.

Of course, Abu touched a giant ruby. The cave collapsed. In the chaos, Aladdin grabbed an old oil lamp—the real prize. As fire and sand swallowed the cavern, he rubbed the lamp in desperation.
