Somebody has moved this page from "Genie (Disney)" to "Genie (Aladdin)", undoing a move I made in the opposite direction some time ago. That's fine, if somebody thinks it would be better served there, but I'm going to explain why I made the move in the first place. The story of Aladdin *always* has a genie in it (sometime two, in fact). Thus "Genie (Aladdin)" could really refer to any genie from any version of the Aladdin story. "Genie (Disney)" specifically would refer to the big blue genie voiced by Robin Williams, being the only genie that has appeared in a Disney production. -- Supermorff 18:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe move it to "Genie (Disney's Aladdin)"? 201.8.246.246 02:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

As a compromise? Fine by me. -- Supermorff 14:25, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Homer Connection

• I think Disney screwed with Genie because of Dan Castellaneta taking over from Robin Williams. I think Genie went back to normal in King of Theives because Williams came back. WizardDuck 00:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
