Robin Williams is fantastic in Aladdin during the 1990's Disney Renaissance
This film just makes me melancholic now watching the sheer genius Robin Williams as the Genie. To improvise the character to such an extent just goes to show Williams' incredible talent.

The animation itself is the first time to feature a non-white Disney princess, hence it is important to show the significance of characters from BAME backgrounds. It's disappointing to hear that the movie version is going to be whitewashed.

It is funny, clever, and is part of the 'Disney Renaissance' - a hip new sensibility to animated features and which still stands up in the age of Pixar and DreamWorks thanks largely to RW.

Jumanji (1995)
1995 | Action, Comedy, Family
1995 heavily dependant on CGI movie starring am (extremely young) Kirsten Dunst and the late Robin Williams, with Williams doing his usual man-child stichk as a young boy who got trapped in the mystical game Jumanji before being accidentally released nearer 30 years later, and who must finish the game to undo the events it has caused.

Surprised this got a PG rating; not even a PG-13 or 12A!
