About this episode

You've never had a friend like the TMI guys, who dove deep into the making of this 1992 Disney animated classic. You'll get all the behind-the-scenes stories of Robin Williams' hilariously non-family friendly Genie dialogue, learn the truth behind his long-running feud with Disney, and discover how his role in the movie changed the course of animation forever. You'll also hear how the plot differs from the Aladdin story from antiquity, learn why the film caused some controversy upon its release, get to the bottom of the supposed hidden sex joke, and discover why "A Whole New World" is the greatest Disney song of all time.
