A Peek Behind-the-Scenes: Recording with Robin Williams for "Back To Neverland" in 1988 - a film project for the Disney/MGM Studios theme park that led to him being cast in Disney's "Aladdin". I recorded his voice up in Northern California a few weeks before filming his live-action segments with Walter Cronkite back in LA. During the voice session we grabbed this video reference for our animators, so they could study his gesture palette. Thirty-two years later, the VHS is in pretty bad shape, but I was able to salvage some - like this final few minutes when he was about to leave for the day, then turned to ask me, "Can I try one thing?" Of course I said "Yes!"
