Friend Like Me - Robin Williams Tribute - Workprint / Final Film Comparison - Aladdin

Here is the final recording of “Friend Like Me,“ as sung by the late, great Robin Williams, from the 1992 Disney film ALADDIN. The song was written by Howard Ashman (lyrics) and Alan Menken (music) for Howard’s 1988 film treatment for the story. The final film footage had been synced up to two workprint edits of the sequence for this side-by-side comparison video. I’ve been trying to come up with something to say about the death of Robin Williams, but words are failing me. After I heard about it, I decided I needed to post something, and this was the idea that stuck with me. The workprint clips on their own, as well as more from the workprints, will be posted at a later date. Special thanks to Garrett Gilchrist for this footage!
