Rather than granting wishes, he uses his magic to try and solve problems for others, although he often misunderstands the problem and gives silly or impractical solutions as a result.

The good news however is that always beside Genie are three children - twin 6-year-old ducklings named Lili and Leo, as well as their friend, a 6-year-old rabbit named Penelope. These kids are always happy to help Genie fix his mishaps using teamwork, ingenuity, and creative problem-solving.
