Barry, Wil Wheaton and Clancy Brown, with Jodi Benson providing a voice. The film was a box office success grossing $178 million worldwide but received mixed to negative reviews from critics with praise for Robin William's performance but criticisms for its slapstick humor, special effects, story, script and comparisons to the original.
