 The opening scene with the street merchant was completely  unscripted. Robin Williams (I) (qv) was brought into the sound  stage and was asked to stand behind a table that had several objects  on it and a bed sheet covering them all. The animators asked him to  lift the sheet, and without looking take an object from the table  and describe it in character. Much of the material in that recording  session was not appropriate for a Disney film.
