The Genie is the tritagonist of Disney's 1992 animated feature film, Aladdin. He is a comedic, larger-than-life spirit (a "jinni") who acts as a servant to whomever holds ownership of the magic lamp in which he resides. Genie possesses phenomenal cosmic power that allows him to grant wishes, shape-shift, and transcend space and time; however, he is burdened to remain bound to his lamp for eternity unless granted freedom by a master.
The Genie is loosely based on the Genie of the Lamp featured in the One Thousand and One Nights folk tale, Aladdin. The figure in the tale, while important, was portrayed as a mere slave while the Disney interpretation was greatly expanded into an identifiable character personality, the most notable difference being the Disney genie's ultimate wish to be free.

"Day 19-Funniest Moment How am I supposed to narrow this down to one moment? How about any moment involving the Genie? Here's one particular part which cracks me up every time: "There are a few, uh, provisos. Ah, a couple of quid pro quo.โ "
