Mork's appearance was so popular with viewers that led to a successful spin-off television series, Mork and Mindy, which ran From 1978 to 1982. Despite playing the same character that appeared in Happy Days, the sample was set today in Boulder, Colorado, instead of late the 50 in Milwaukee. Mork was a very popular character, featured on posters, coloring books, lunchboxes, and other goods.

In 1998, he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role a psychologist in Good Will Hunting. However, in early 2000, was considered by some to be typecast in films like "Patch Adams (1998) and The Bicentennial Man (1999) that critics complained were excessively maudlin. In 2006 Williams starred in The Night Listener, a thriller about a radio host who realizes he has developed a friendship with a child who may or may not exist.

He was portrayed by Chris Diamantopoulos in the biographical film made for television Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized History of Mork & Mindy (2005), documenting the actor's arrival in Hollywood as a struggling actor.

The dispute with Disney

In gratitude for his success with Disney / Buena morning the Touchstone film, Vietnam, Robin Williams, said the genie in the Disney animated film Aladdin for pay scale SAG ($ 75,000), on condition that his name or image not be used for marketing, and his (supporting) character not take more than 25% of space under construction advertising art, and toys that was scheduled for release a month after the debut of Aladdin. The study came on the agreement in both cases, especially in art Poster for the genius in 25% of the image, but with other major and supporting characters portrayed considerably smaller. Disney's Hyperion book, Aladdin: the making of an animated film, both the list of characters from Williams, "Seller" and "The Genie" ahead of the main characters, but was forced to refer to him only as "the actor signed to play the Genie."

Williams and Disney had a bitter disagreement, and as a result of Dan Castellaneta said the Genie in The Return of Jafar, the Aladdin animated television series, and had recorded his voice for Aladdin and the King of Thieves. When Jeffrey Katzenberg Disney was fired and replaced by former 20th Century Fox production head Joe Roth (whose last act was ahead of Fox's film Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire), Roth held a public apology to Williams by Disney. Williams agreed to perform in Hollywood Pictures' Jack, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and even agreed the voice of the Genie again for the King of Thieves sequel (for much more than the scale), replacing all of Castellaneta's dialogue.

When Williams re-teamed with Doubtfire director Chris Columbus in 1999, Bicentennial Man, Disney asked that the budget be reduced by approximately $ 20 million, and when film was released on Christmas Day, which failed at the box office. Williams blamed Disney's marketing and the loss of movie content has suffered from budget cuts. As a result, Williams was again on bad terms with Disney, and Castellaneta was once again recruited to replace him as Genie Kingdom Hearts series of video games and the House of Mouse TV series. The DVD release of Aladdin has no involvement whatsoever from Williams in raw materials, although some of his original recording sessions can be seen.
