We all miss the magic that Robin Williams created on screen. The movie legend starred in some of our very favourite films, and now his last ever movie, *Absoloutely Anything, *is set to hit cinemas in August. And we have an exclusive - and extremely funny - clip to remind you just how special Robin was.
Robin voices Simon Pegg's dog, Dennis, who's magically given the ability to speak after Simon's character is given powers to make anything happen. He's being tested by a bunch of aliens, and if he doesn't do nice, responsible things they're going to blow up planet Earth. Yikes.

But enough about that, Robin has a scene-stealing turn as Dennis the dog, who's refers to a woman Simon is seeing as a "bitch" - y'know, as he's a dog - and all he wants to do is eat biscuits all day and go shagging.
*Absoloutely Anything *marks Robin's final work that will grace the silver screen, as his previous films, which included Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb and *A Merry Christmas Miracle *have now all been released.
Robin tragically died after taking his own life on the 11 August 2014. Despite bringing joy to millions of lives with his work, he led a troubled life battling depression and Parkinson's disease.
Absolutely Anything is out in UK cinemas on 14 August.
Robin Williams' best quotes
Robin Williams: 10 funniest quotes and best moments
On working on the set of Mrs Doubtfire
“One time in makeup as Mrs Doubtfire, I walked into a sex shop in San Francisco and tried to buy a double-headed dildo. Just because. Why not? And the guy was about to sell it to me until he realised it was me – Robin Williams – not an older Scottish woman coming in to look for a very large dildo and a jar of lube. He just laughed and said, "What are you doing here?" and I left. Did I make the purchase? No.* Did I walk away with a really good story? *Yes.”
“I think I wore it better!”

On heaven
When asked what he’d like to hear God say to him if he got to heaven, Williams told Inside Actor's Studio: “There’s seating near the front. The concert begins at 5:00. It’ll be Mozart, Elvis, and anyone of your choosing. Or if Heaven exists, it would be nice to know there’s laughter. That would be a great thing, to hear God go, ‘Two Jews walk into a bar…’”
On divorce
“Ah yes, divorce… from the Latin word meaning ‘to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet’.”
On his two ex-wives
“I get on fabulously with my exes – now we’re not together any more. And they always appreciated my body hair, which was a plus, obviously.”
On the experimental heart surgery that saw him fitted with a cow’s heart valve
“I can go to the toilet standing up now, which is nice, but I can’t eat meat, because I’ve become one of them, so it would be cannibalism.”
On Aladdin
Explaining that the role of the Genie was originally meant to be very small, Williams said: “Initially they came in and I was just doing the scripted lines and I asked 'Do you mind if I try something?' and then 18 hours of recording later, they had the Genie. I just started playing, and they said, ‘Just go with it, go with it, go with it.’ So I improvised the character. I think that in the end, there were something like 40 different voices that I did for that role.” So much of the Genie’s part was improvised that the Academy Awards rejected the film’s bid for the ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’ nomination.
On biology
“God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.”
On being a big kid
“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”
On life
“I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.”
