Those hours and hours of improv and outtakes have turned out to be a pretty useful tool.
The filmmakers behind the just-released Disney short Once Upon a Studio knew that any"family photo" that brought together dozens of characters from throughout the studio's history would be incomplete without an appearance by Robin Williams's beloved Genie from Aladdin. They did not want to recast the character for the short, though, which means a lot of digging around for unused lines that could be assembled into something viable.
According to Variety, directors Dan Abraham and Trent Correy were aware from the start that they needed Genie. After digging throught he archives to find some lines that they could use, Producers Bradford Simonsen and Yvett Merino reached out to the Williams Estate. Williams had a famous conflict with Disney following the release of Aladdin. While he was excited to be a part of the project, he took a significant pay cut in order to get a deal where his voice would not be used to promote products. The cut was so enormous -- he got $75,000, rather than the $8 million that was his asking price at the time for live-action parts -- that it certainly seemed like Disney would be motivated to take the deal.
