Eric Goldberg, the amazing animator behind the Genie from Aladdin, drew this sweet, starry scene as a tribute to his friend, Robin Williams. Click through for the full image.
Eric Goldberg also released the following statement:
“I am beyond devastated. I cannot express how influential and important Robin was, and will continue to be, to me and countless other animation artists. Robin gave those of us who worked on the Genie so much humor, inspiration, and just sheer delight, that we were always spoiled for choice whenever we came back from a recording session. Like the Genie, Robin’s immense talent could not be contained in the lamp. I think we all knew, as the world does now, if there was ever a person who was tailor-made for the medium of animation, it was Robin. We have lost not just a great voice, though. We have lost a warm, human, miraculous person whose numerous and amazing talents will continue to inspire people for generations upon generations.”
R.I.P. Robin Williams
