[Disney] Aladdin

Tantos años después de la famosa película, y con las recientes imágenes que Disney ha mostrado a los fans de Robin Williams dando voz al Genio, los directores de la película,  Ron Clements y John Musker, han confesado que los fans tenían razón. La teoría que decía que el mercader que aparece al principio de la película era en realidad el Genio no era una leyenda urbana y, precisamente por eso, Robin Williams prestó su voz a ambos personajes.

So many years after the movie was produced, and after the recently shown images (Robin Willimas while acting as the Genie), Ron Clements and John Musker have confused that fans were right. The theory said that the merchant in the beginning of Aladdin is actually the Genie. That's the reason why Robin Williams voiced both characters.

Look at both characters: Blue clothes? Check. Red band around the waist? Check. Bushy eyebrows and a beard ending in a curl? Double check. If that’s not enough for you, how about the fact that they are the only two characters in the movie who only have four fingers? Oh, and they both just happen to be voiced by Robin Williams. 

That was the whole intention, originally. We even had that at the end of the movie, where he would reveal himself to be the Genie, and of course Robin did the voice of the peddler. Just through story changes and some editing, we lost the reveal at the end. So, that's an urban legend that actually is true. Ron Clements
