Robin Williams did the Genie in Aladdin with such improvisational genius that even Disney gave him free rein during recording sessions to ad-lib away. Countless jokes, celebrity impressions, and hilarious quips ensued. That line "Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty-bitty living space" and so many others were never scripted but came out of the genius of the comedic mind. The animators would often rework scenes just to fit in with his improvisation, which resulted in a Genie that was full of personality and wit.
