''Jeannie'' was a short-lived AnimatedAdaptation of ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'', produced by Creator/HannaBarbera for Creator/{{CBS}}. In this incarnation, Jeannie is found by a teenage surfer named Corey Anders, after finding her bottle on the beach. Jeannie fell in love with Corey and stayed with him and to win his love, she tried to help him with his everyday situations. Added to the main cast are Corey's best friend, Henry, and "junior-genie" Babu. The Great Hadji, Master of All Genies, was the only other character to be reused from the live-action series.

** Teenage Corey takes the place of Major Anthony Nelson in the original series. Henry, Corey's wisecracking best-friend, substitutes for Major Roger Healey.
** Regarding character design, Jeannie, Corey, and Henry also resemble [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Daphne, Fred, and Shaggy]].
** Babu seems to have been based on [[Series/GilligansIsland Bob Denver's]] one-shot character, Harold, from the original show, who was also a genie whom Jeannie needed to train, though he does not seem to be Haji's son. Added to that, bizarrely enough, Babu wore what appears to be a male version of the original Jeannie's pink costume.

* HotterAndSexier: Although this was a children's show, which the original show never was, Jeannie's costume is much less modest than the original, including transparent pantaloons. She also shows her bellybutton! Makes you wonder why Corey doesn't want her instead of the other girls.

The series has never been released on home video due to conflicts with Creator/ScreenGems (and Hanna-Barbera's plans to reuse the "Jeannie" character ended up shelved). The show is primarily known from a CrossOver with ''WesternAnimation/TheNewScoobyDooMovies''.
