Genies

Genies are supernatural beings with the ability to grant wishes to whoever becomes their master. Often, humans can summon them by rubbing magic lamps, by using rings, or by opening a bottle. The most noteworthy genie in popular culture is the one found by Aladdin, whose story has been adapted numerous times, most notably in a 1992 animated Disney movie, and in a live-action Disney remake. Another famous fictional genie is the one played by Barbara Eden in the NBC sitcom I Dream of Jeannie.
Hanna-Barbera has had genies in nearly all of their animated series.
