Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who provided the voice of the genie in Disney's "Aladdin?""
...Robin Williams voiced the Genie for SAG scale pay—$75,000—instead of his asking fee of $8 million, on condition that his name or image not be used for marketing. Disney, while not using Williams's name in commercials as per the contract, used his voice for the Genie in the commercials and used the Genie character to sell merchandise without having to pay Williams additional money. Disney attempted to assuage Williams by sending him a Pablo Picasso painting worth more than $1 million at the time, but this move failed to repair the damaged relationship, as the painting apparently really "clashed" with the Williams' home decor.
