It was to do with how the film Aladdin was marketed. Williams didn't want his image to be used in marketing, or his character (the Genie) to take up too much room on the posters, because he had another film, Toys, being released shortly after Aladdin was. Although Williams and Disney struck a deal to ensure this, Disney went back on it, and Williams cut all ties with the company. Eventually, Disney apologised and Williams re-voiced the Genie in an Aladdin sequel King of Thieves, but then the two parties fell out again when Williams signed up to star in Bicentennial Man and Disney cut the films' budget by $20m. The film flopped and Williams blamed the budget cuts and studio interference, and the two parties were at war again until recently, when he was inducted into the Disney hall of fame.

No, Robin Williams did not start in show business until 1977, eleven years after Walt Disney's death. However, Williams did work on several projects with the Walt Disney Company, including voicing Genie in Aladdin and The Timekeeper in the Disney attraction of the same name.
