* In "Friend Like Me," Genie sings [[Literature/ArabianNights "Scheherezade had a thousand tales."]] Yet traditionally, in the Western world, the tale of ''Aladdin'' is presented as one of the tales Scheherezade told to her husband and sister. But this isn't the case in the original Arabic versions of the ''Thousand and One Nights'': it was a French translator who first added the separate tale of ''Aladdin'' to the collection in the 1700s. So it makes perfect sense that Aladdin's Genie should refer to Scheherezade as a character in a separate story that took place earlier.

*** Well, indeed he can't ''kill'' all the other sorcerers, but he can still take away their powers and make them normal peoples ? And then, grant Jafar, I don't know, the power to transform sausages into daisies (but taking away all his other powers). Transforming sausages into daisies is sorcery. So it counts.

* A lot of people point out that the Genie is unusually nice; there are all sorts of ways he could've played with Aladdin's words to screw him over. But consider this: before Aladdin starts his wishing, the he strikes a deal with the Genie to set him free with the third wish. If the Genie'd screwed him over on the first two -- say, just giving him a certificate to verify that he's a prince, rather than the lavish entrance he actually got -- Aladdin would've had every reason to go back on the deal and seal him away for another 10 millenniums. This also goes a long way to explain why he loosely interpreted Aladdin's second "wish" to save his life, or why he was so friendly and helpful and somewhat intrusive during most of the movie. Part of it is definitely that he's just a nice guy, but also, if Aladdin dies or the Genie fails to get him what he wants, his one chance at freedom is ''gone'', and he probably would never get another one. In other words, the Genie was ''really'' trying to make sure he didn't fuck this one up.
