He explained, “Then all of a sudden, they release an advertisement-one part was the movie, the second part was where they used the movie to sell stuff. Williams accepted to be paid less for the role ($75,000 instead of $8 million) to ensure his voice wouldn’t be used to sell any kind of products. Aladdin was released, became a box office juggernaut, and merchandising was a no-brainer for the Walt Disney Company.

Ron Clements, co-director of Aladdin, shared memories with Variety: “Each take, Robin would add and embellish, so by the 25th (and last) take, the scene had expanded (from three minutes) to about 20 minutes long!

However, one insider did have the following to say about the project: However, they have “hopes that filming could begin at the end of the year.” So perhaps we’ll have additional news by then.
