45. Robin Williams = Genie

Please name a Disney character more funny or full of life than Aladdin's Genie. Played by the late Robin Williams, this role will go down in history as one of the best Disney has ever seen. Here's a little something you might not know about the film. Williams only made the deal to play the Genie if Disney promised to not use his Genie voice in advertising or merchandise. He was taking a significant pay cut for the film, about a tenth of his going rate at the time.

Williams is also famous for his work in films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, Good Morning Vietnam, One Hour Photo, Dead Poet's Society, and Jumanji. Throughout his career he won an Oscar, seven Golden Globes, two Emmys, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four Grammy Awards.
