He was freed by Aladdin and he offered Aladdin three wishes. Aladdin asked him what he would wish for. Genie wished for his freedom from the lamp. ==Development== [[Robin Williams]] voiced the Genie in the [[Aladdin (1992 movie)|1992 movie]] and ''[[Aladdin and the King of Thieves]]''. He wasn't able to return for the animated show and ''[[The Return of Jafar]]'' due to disagreements with Disney and with [[Dan Castellaneta]] voicing him in the meantime. Williams improvised a lot of dialogue for the Genie, which made the 1992 movie ineligible for Best Adapted Screenplay. [[Will Smith]] plays the Genie in the 2019 live-action remake. ==Reception== Robin Williams has received a lot of acclaim for voicing the Genie. Same goes to Will Smith for the remake, which otherwise had mixed reviews.
