| ~ Genie's most famous quote. |
Genie is the tritagonist of the Aladdin franchise.
He is an extremely powerful and humorous djinn spirit that lives in a lamp and is bound to do whatever his master (anyone who rubs the lamp). He was forgotten for ten thousand years in the Cave of Wonders, until a boy named Aladdin found him and made a deal to free him with his third wish if Geni did all as ordered. Even after being freed, however, he still was Aladdin's friend, and accompanied him and the rest of their friends throughout multiple adventures.
He was voiced by the late Robin Williams, while in most media, he was voiced by Dan Castellaneta.

- Even if he had to take a wish off Aladdin, he still saved him from drowning.
- While he wanted to be freed, he cared about Aladdin and was heartbroken when he decided not to free him and keep his whole life lying to Jasmine.

- Got rid of the lamp imprisoning Jafar after he wished to become a genie himself.
