"You ain't never had a friend like me!" Robin Williams as the voice of the Genie in Aladdin. [Just one of the many hundreds of lines you could choose from the comic genius talent of Robin Williams. As with Bob Hoskins earlier in the year, William would have been deeply saddened by his death. Both Aladdin and Mrs Doubtfire were very special films for all of children, but Aladdin was particularly important to Harriet and Will, who would spend hours together setting up elaborate figure games, which should have culminated in the wedding of Aladdin and Jasmine, but were always beset by "toilet problems", which left the two of them (Harri and Will, that is) rolling around on the floor laughing hysterically].
