Robin William's daughter, Zelda, coincidentally got the genie from Aladdin on the Disney character Instagram filter and it brought a huge, viral-worthy smile to her face.
It was definitely one of his most iconic characters!
It instantly brought a smile to her face.
Trolls were sending her altered images of her father with bruises around his neck, and hateful messages blaming her for his death.
“Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I’m shaking. I can’t. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won’t open it. Don’t either. Please,” she wrote at the time in a since-deleted tweet.
“I’m sorry. I should’ve risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye,” she wrote.
“You know, it’s taking it one step at a time. The world keeps spinning," she said.
She also explained that she hasn't bothered to think much about why her dad chose to end his life.
“I don’t think there’s a point,” she said. “It’s not important to ask.”
“Hummingbirds are fun and flighty and strange. It's hard to keep them in one place and Dad was a bit like that," she explained.
"I just keep going, 'OK, well today I'm going to wake up and love what I do. And then tomorrow I'm going to wake up and be happy and love what I do. And then the next day,'" she said.
"And then even if you are OK, they're like 'Well, what's wrong?' And so for a while, I was just kind of left to my own devices."
While she was proud of the work she managed to produce, she admitted that she "didn't see daylight for a while."
She tried out the "Which Disney Character Are You?" filter on Instagram, and of the dozen characters she could have gotten, she got one of the characters her dad played the voice of.
Fans loved it.
The look on her face is everything.
Within just a few days, the video reached 1.8 million views!
And TONS of crying gifs — because let's be serious, there's no way you watched that clip and didn't get a little weepy-eyed.
I'm sure on some small level, it meant a lot to Zelda that that was the character the filter randomly selected for her.
I hope you enjoyed today's daily dose of the warm and fuzzies!
