Robin Williams voiced the Genie in Disney's animated film Aladdin, released in 1992, and his largely improvised performance became one of the most celebrated voice roles in animation history. The Genie's rapid impressions, celebrity references and boundless energy helped the film reach both children and adults, and clips of Williams's performance have circulated ever since through television reruns, home video and online soundboards. Decades later, the voice remains instantly recognisable, so creators still use short Genie clips to signal magic, nostalgia and old-school Disney charm in modern edits.
