YouTuber Replaces Will Smith's Genie With Robin Williams

Videos Aladdin DeepFakes DerpFakes about 5 years agoby Jessica Fisher

YouTuber DeepFakes, or Derpfakes as he also goes by, posted a quick video (9 seconds to be exact), of his CG reimagining of what it would look like if Robin Williams were still around and signed on to play the genie in Disney’s live-action Aladdin remake instead of Will Smith. We got our first look at Smith in the character this week, and the CG has been widely criticized. Do you think fans would be happier with Robin Williams in the role, or do you think it’s strictly the CG people are displeased with? Watch the clip below and let us know if it makes a difference. Either way, he did a great job and it’s fun to see!

Just a short deepfake here. Given the backlash to Will Smith's brief appearance as the Genie in the new Aladdin trailer, I thought I'd replace him with the late, great Robin WIlliams. P.S. Sorry for the wobbly face. Trust me the alternative was worse. Subscribe for more deepfakes!
