Clements, however, did confirm one longstanding rumor. "I saw something that speculates that the peddler at the beginning of Aladdin is the Genie. That's true!" he said. "That was the whole intention, originally. We even had that at the end of the movie, where he would reveal himself to be the Genie, and of course Robin did the voice of the peddler. Just through story changes and some editing, we lost the reveal at the end. So, that's an urban legend that actually is true."

Scott Weinger, who voiced the titular character, wanted to clear up another misnomer. "I feel bad because people are so excited to figure it out, but it's not true: the thing about Aladdin saying, 'Take off your clothes.' There are websites dedicated to it. Like, 'If you play it in slow motion at this frame rate, you can tell that he's definitely saying that.' The truth is that I never said it. I never said it! I feel bad being a myth buster, although it's probably a good one to bust," he admitted. "Let me tell you, being in the recording studio with Robin Williams, wanting to do a good job and not blow it, there's no way I would have made some dirty joke."
