Farewell Genie....now you are truly free!

Aladdin
Released:  November 25, 1992
Worldwide Video Sales:  $504,050,000

As a tribute to one my favorite contemporary animated films of all-time, I thought it was only fitting to share a piece from my collection that would honor Robin Williams.  When I learned last week that Robin Williams had passed away it was quite a shock and unfortunately the world has truly lost someone very inspiring.  It is really hard to believe that someone who gave so much of himself to make others feels wonderful and smile through humor found it difficult to do the same for himself.  He was truly an artist that deserves our respect and honor.  He will be missed.

                      Acquired:  February 23, 2006
                      Sculptor:  Kent Melton
                      Reproduction Artist:  Doug Hild










My nephew earlier in this week shared this video that featured a nice section on one I believe was one of his best roles.  A nice look into his unique spirit. 




The Genie is truly free....may he rest in peace and smile from up above for all to remember and see.
