No, I'm afraid I don't. But in the third film the Genie is voiced by the same actor than in the TV series, so maybe they thought they owed it to that actor to give him the role after having voiced the character during the entire series. But that's just my guess, maybe the original actor just wasn't available. I don't think it's because he didn't have a good relationship with the company or something like that, because he later voiced B.E.N. in Treasure Planet and one of the moose in Brother Bear.JeanGreyForever wrote:Interesting that the Spanish actor did not come back for the third film. Do you happen to know why that was the case?
That song is not bad either.JeanGreyForever wrote:To be honest, Iago and Genie's songs from Return of Jafar were never that memorable for me although I should listen to them again anyway. I remember Jafar's song from the end more, mainly because of the visuals rather than the actual song.
I didn't know characters from other Arabian Nights tales appeared in the show. I watched the entire series as a child, but just once when it first aired in my country, so I don't remember it too well. Plus, I guess I wouldn't have recognized then that those characters where from the book anyway. I didn't know Disney planned to do a Sinbad movie either. I guess Jeffrey Katzenberg took that idea with him and brought it over to DreamWorks.JeanGreyForever wrote:Back when Disney was making the Aladdin TV series, all of the Arabian Nights characters were up for grabs to appear except for Sindbad. Apparently, Disney was very strict about Sindbad not appearing in the show because they had future plans to make him into a movie. I guess Ali Baba wasn't considered as lucrative a project for his own film but still well known enough to serve as the plotline for the finale film.
