Altho Jim Backus didn't get a credit for his voice, he still does a good job. The main reason WHY that Mel remained on the LT's bill as "vocal characterizations" was because at the time of his contract, talent like his was unheard of.
But with the 60's rolling in and studio heads changing, he could no longer maintain that status nor posture.
I never cared that much for McKimson's cartoons (compared to Clampett's, Jones' and Freling's), but they were still superior to most of the stuff that came out of other studios.
@mike928pa Mel Blanc was the only one who got credited until the 60s, because he was clever enough to get it into his contract. As a side effect, he was the only one who could be credited, which Mel Blanc didn't want.
Baghdad was in persia before it was split into iran and iraq classic stuff with jim bachkus as the genie. not to many people did voices other then mel blanc
@Kd7jfb baghdad is in iraq .....hundreds of years .....but you can say persia was a powerful emperor 1400 years ago....and you must know that there is a big hatred from the persians(SHEAA) against arabs(SUNNAH) who conquest their emperor at the beginning of islam.....sorry for the prolongation
If something like that popped out of one of my lamps, I'd probably hit it with a broom xD

Is the voice of the genie really Jim Backus, or is it Mel Blanc sounding like Backus? No mention of Jim Backus in the credits.

@mike928pa A lot of voice actors in cartoons of that time went uncredited (Blanc managed to get credit for his work as part of his contract with WB).

@mike928pa That's Backus. Blanc had a stipulation in his contract that gave him sole credit for the voice characterizations, which really sucks.

Ha-ha-ha! That's not how you spell "Baghdad". But I do like the joke on how it's pronounced.
