"The question is always, 'Where was there meat left on the bone?' Robin didn’t leave a lot of meat on the bone with the character. I started to feel confident that I could deliver something that was an homage to Robin Williams but was musically different." The Guy Ritchie-directed reboot will also have a few new songs. Also new is that some brand new characters will be introduced, including an advisor-type figure for Princess Jasmine. "Aladdin" will be in theaters May 24.
