While the protagonist of Aladdin was supposed to be the street boy turned prince, we all know who the real hero was- the Genie! He brought a sense of hilarity and mayhem to the desert landscape of Aladdin and helped the main character make all of his wishes come true, including getting the princess of his dreams. Genie is the first character you think of when you think of Aladdin. It is hard not to laugh when you picture that big, blue ball of fun pouring out of his lamp to shapeshift into something crazy or to give Aladdin some well-needed advice on life, love or being himself.
Genie provided comic relief but he also had a lot of great lessons for 1990s kids on the importance of friendship, being true to yourself, and above all laughing at life.
