According to Islamic traditions, the only human being who was able to control and capture Satans ( evil Genes ) in the history is King Solomon in Jerusalem. King Solomon was a prophet and King at the same time , he asked god to grant him a throne/power that should not be granted to anyone else after him. Then god gave him the ability to understand birds/animals languages , control the wind , and control all Jinns and their power. They say that he used to punish the evil Jinns and put them inside objects like boxes or maybe lamps. Nobody can have this ability again after King Solomon because that was his wish.
@@kenziehans6598 no.. there are 2 kinds of jinns good and bad. Same like humans... There are good jinns those have accepted Islam and there are other demons.
Kenzie Hans logically, he probably was trapped inside the lamp by a powerful sorcerer in the past. However it’s just Disney thing, there is not such a thing in real life. In real life Magicians can use Genies in dark magic without trap them. Because the genie that works with magicians and dark magic are all bad 100%. Actually it’s not the magician controlling the genie , it’s the genie controlling the magician and help hem to mislead people.
In the aladdin animated series, one episode included a former master of the genie (who had wished for immortality but not for eternal youth, and become extremely old and withered), who used a new pair of darker, handcuff-like shackles to trap the genie to serve him again. So, people who can trap djinn may not be that rare.
I love the ideas that disney has with all these powerful magical artifacts. and they're all made of gold: Genie's lamp, Maleficent's staff, Triton's trident, Ursula's nautilus shell, kinda Hercules' amulet, probably quite a few things on Tamatoa's shell. either gold items or gems are sources of power for the disney world: the Heart of Te' fiti, the crystals of Atlantis, whatever that big red gem that Abu touched in the cave of wonders was seemed pretty important.
Bambi I think was made to not show a particular time period. I read the original book from the 1920's and it doesn't give a specific date of when the story was either. When I watched the movie you never see "Man." You only hear the sound of the gun and Bambi is told his mom died so it's possible that the two movies could have occurred around the same time.
Bambi is set in the USA, Beauty and the Beast is set in France. Also, the rifle shot that kills Bambi's mom sounds like a modern rifle, not the type Gaston would have had access to.
How about a theory on the backstory of Aladdin's carpet. Is it possible that he was once a human cursed to live in the body of flying fabric? Also how did he end up in the cave of wonders. (I know we ask a lot from you, but these are just suggestions, no obligations)
What’s suspicious about the way Genie gets all mad and intimidating when Aladdin makes fun of him? I’m sure you would react the same way if someone were to make fun of you!
oh right. thanks. That doesn't explain why the genie wasn't able to stop Jafar after granting his third wish. The genie was done being Jafar's master and wasn't free yet, so he could have stopped jafar instead of Aladdin.
can you do one about iago and why he served jafar. another one I would love to see is where did the magic carpet come from thank you. you're videos are awesome
In the actual book, there were actually two genies: the Genie of the Lamp and the Genie of the Ring, and each gave Aladdin 3 wishes, with him being the master of both of them. Woulda been interesting if they had used both genies instead of just one.
I don't think the Genie would be violent, but just mischeivious (e.g. mushu, Iago) to where merva were concerned of the havoc he could ensued with his limitless power.
The genie often made comments about “modern” events and technology which made people feel as though the genie had lived in the future. Some of the statues in the cave of wonders is from ancient Sumerian times and looks like Annunaki. So the genie seems to have existed in all times from ancient to modern times.
Well I have some ideas. A. The Enchantress: She is associated with magical animate objects like the Beast's staff turned furniture similar to the Magic Carpet found alongside the Genie, as well as creating magical objects like the magical rose. B. Merlin: Not as likely but has been shown with magical objects and has combated powerful shapeshifters like Madam Mim in the past. C: Middle eastern dragon of the past from American Dragon: The Dragons have shown to protect the human world from magic creatures for many generations, and have access to many items and spells to trap dangerous entities. Its also to be noted that the dragons once dealt with a goblin made chalice that can release evil Djinn.
10,000 years the Genie says. So go back 10,000 years from Aladdin. Who was around back then that could do that? Or was it just another master that wasn't his first. Also, Jinns were caught by people back then according to things like the books of wisdom and Jewish/Muslim folktales. So who knows. Example: " Asmodeus, king of demons, was one day, according to the classical Rabbis, captured by Benaiah using the ring, and was forced to remain in Solomon's service."
Oh yes please, Atlantis is such an underrated movie! Do something about Treasure Planet as well, I love both those movies and they are both so under-appreciated.
I'm happy you are enjoying it! This video I made a few weeks ago may not seem like an Atlantis video, but trust me it is! Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/v9x9T_WZm_M/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
well here is another question why was aladan the only one who could enter the cave of wonders and why was the gennie placed in the cave of wonders in the first place.
He even though he was a petty thief, he was doing it to survive and helped out others in need. He never stole for greed. He wasnt in the best of circumstances but he was a human of great potential and character.
Allow me to explain this in some detail. There are 2 episodes that go into this in some detail and I suggest you look them up or go watch them. They are The Genie Hunt and The Hunted. Where it goes into some detail about the genies first master and the one who created him.
Muslims believe that Solomon, known to them as Sulaymān, was given a ring by the Archangel Michael that would give him command over all demons and spirits of the earth, including jinn. A number he imprisoned in various containers, like brass jars and lamps.
but that do not flow with in the time frame Aladdin is set. It shows that in the movie the sphinx is being finished Also the cartoon has Mechanicles who is a Greek and the Hercules show corsses over with the Aladdin show, thus Aladdin takes place long before Islam was birthed as a faith. Either Aladdin is Persian and thus probably A Zoratist or any number of ancient middle eastern faith that predates Islam
Pretty sure it was Solomon who sealed the Genie in the lamp. According to legend, a genie displeased Solomon somehow, probably granted him a wish exactly as worded rather than the way Solomon intended for it to be interpreted, and Solomon responded by sealing the genie away.
Maybe it was moui who trapped the genie , he's immortal so i believe he'd be around to see him and trapped him with the power of the gods , from his exhaustion he probably dropped it in the sea resulting in tamatoa finding it and resulting in his immense size , and I know tamatoa was around for mouis origins but maybe moui was a part of an incarnation cycle also resulting in his parents throwing him a way as he wasn't deemed"the chosen one"
Remember Tamatoa isn't a giant crab. He's a dark being around since near the beginning who happens to have that form. He's also either a demigod or Moanna's culture's version of a demon.
My thoughts were always Merlin did it. He has the ability to travel to any point in time, has a long life span as well as the good will and power to trap/punish a that isn't human and cause mischievous trouble.
Well the most common myth is that King Solomon was able to command them using their True Names. Matter of fact as I recall the Djinn found in a bottle by a fisherman said that he'd been imprisoned by King Solomon. This is also the first tale specifying 3 wishes (In the original Aladdin story, the Djinn just granted any wish the bearer of the lamp made, until Aladdin accidentally offended it by ordering it to steal a Roc's egg).
There's actually one more genie in Aladdin's tale. It's the Djinn of the ring. She is far weaker than the lamb genie yet she is also powerful enough for some wishes.
I feel a more plausible explanation is that the Genie was collateral? He wasn't necessarily evil, but the shear abundance of evil genies in the world, being captured and contained, made him a target by association. They may have mistaken him for an evil Genie and trapped him anyway.
Do you know Solomon? Or in Quran we know him as Prophet Sulaiman? He had an strong army of genie, i think he is the closest person that could mastering the genie, capture it in objects and King Solomon also wellknown as the King that created the big Palace with the help of Genie.
I read that there is going to be a live-action movie that is supposed to be an origin story for the Genie; I believe it's meant to be released before or after the live-action Aladdin(most likely after, given we're getting info for Aladdin before Genie's story).
@@TheRealSephiroth I'm guessing it's cause of the legend who voices him if you've never seen Aladdin I feel sad cause he is a legend my cousin wants to become a comedian cause of him I'm glad will Smith did want to copy him it never would've for and I rambling aren't I I'll stop...
Cool theory, but one thing that bugs me is that if Genie was cursed, how do we explain Jafar’s lamp appearing out of now where? Aside from Jafar being slightly more powerful than the Genie they’re both the same. Maybe the prison of a Genie is magical manifestation of a failsafe. Because the Djinn are so powerful, there needs to be a way to control them. Not only does the lamp work as a prison, but in Jafar’s case it also proved to be a dangerous weakness. Which only Genie knew about. So, maybe the lamp simply comes into existence as a way to control a Djinn as well destroy a Djinn if there was a need to do so.
I know the original version of Aladdin am Arab and I know who are the jinn it's not like what most of you think and the answer is النبي سلميان عليه السلام
An extra caveat: this might also be related to how Jeannie, the female version from the sixties series I Dream Of Jeannie, was also created, though it tells differently. The Mauro could closely be related to people in the Arab peninsula, who possessed these magical abilities to control the jinn, though it's just a theory. Great work pointing this out.
Great theory, but in the Aladdin tv show we actually meet the genie binders, a group of people that do exactly what the name implies.... In fact we meet the very same one that binds Genie
In real life, there are people who have the knowledge to control the jin upon their will but it comes with a price. Once free they haunt the person and his family forever.
When the film came out there was a magazine tie in that had an interview with Genie and he revealed he used to be human until some guys asked him to look into a lamp and that's how he became a genie.
My theory is that one of the Genie's masters simply wished for the Genie to be bound to the lamp as a means of control, to be banished or summoned at the whim of his Master.
I always thought the the same being who cursed Beast was the one who created the lamp. Knowing that humans would most likely wish to be "the most powerful in the univers," she came up with a clever lesson. That wish would then create the catch 22 and swift justice that the lamp carries out. Genie was once a normal man who made that wish, just like the genie before him? 🤔 Question is, who was the first genie??
While your theory has some logic, there is a more likely answer that comes straight from the Aladdin TV series. There is a species known as the 'Mukhtar', whom Genie describes as living only for enslaving genies. Given Genie's immense fear of them (A fear I that is too strong to be just from hearing stories of them), I would say that Genie was probably imprisoned by such a creature.
Luce Kidlets I've been wondering why nobody has mentioned the black cauldron yet, I want to know more about who the evil king that was trapped in the cauldron, and the full story of the horned king, but yeah Atlantis would be cool.
I'm actually reading the book "1001 nights" and in the story called "The Fisherman" a fisherman founds a bronze cup and when he breaks a seal on the cup a Genie emerges from it and he explains that Salomon the great prophet of God imprisoned him because he was an evil spirit that rebel from God and he didn't obey Salomon, so he was forced to pull the throne of him but he still wasn't obedient, so Salomon imprisoned him in the cup with a Seal for 4 centuries. Sorry for my English, I'm Mexican :P
Thanks for making this video! I'm playing the genie in my city's production of Aladdin. This video made me laugh! It really helped me to get inside of my character. Thanks!❤️
I’m not that knowledgeable of Djinn lore, but I could work it out by analogy. In mythology and folklore demons (which are somewhat similar to Djinns) are usually deceived into complying with the protagonist, which sometimes gets them sealed into various artifacts. I believe any human that is cunning enough might have bound the Genie to the lamp, pretty much like Aladdin gets himself out of the Cave of Wonders without wasting a wish. It would be pretty cool if the first master was a pseudo-Aladdin, wouldn’t it? Then again, in occultism it is believed that King Solomon used to control demons. I know people are arguing about this statement in comments below, so I’ll be clear: it’s not part of my beliefs. I’m merely speculating about a fictional subject, in the context of lore and fantasy. While King Solomon might have never left Israel, it is likely that successive owners of the lamp used to travel and somewhat got the lamp in the Cave of Wonders.
Hey Issac! I've been watching your video of Kion's disappearance in The Lion King 2. Which gave me an excellent idea for a sequel. WHERE WAS SARABI IN BOTH THE LION KING 2 AND THE LION GUARD????????
Wotso Videos Simple answer really. She died of old age. She was an adult at the start of the first movie and we she's still alive when Simba returns as an adult to end Scar's reign. Which is going through a period of drought and famine so bad that remaining at pride rock is a death sentence. Not to mention that Scar seems to get furious when his authority is challenged or compared to Mufasa.
Great idea - with just one problem - geography. The Meru, from what I understand, existed in what would later become Latin America. I do not think that they would be operating on or near the Arabian Peninsula. And even if the Genie’s havoc was originally in what would later become Latin America (thereby causing him to run in with the Meru) - how would the lamp have gotten all the way from Meruvia (later to be Avalon) to Agraba (which is clearly in Arabia)? You need to find some way to answer this question in order for your idea to work.
Yea technically it was you, coz you were the last one holding the lamp while he was cursed, but don't take all the credit. All the 27 Elder Mystics, including you and me were responsible for casting the spells on the top of the Forever Tower, which was ironically named, for it crumbled during the cursing, and became the Cave of Wonders. For those of you wondering why, let's just say that the Genie wasn't this sweet being when he was free the first time. His imprisonment humbled him and made him as he is now. I suppose Jafar would turn good too, in a couple of millenia. To be honest, I didn't like the fact that Irelene recorded the story in that book of hers, exactly because it would fall in the hands of someone like Jafar. But in the end, it was all good, the redeemed genie was set free, and an evil one took his place, all because of that book. I can almost see her smug smile after that Aladdin incident.
I think the clip of him saying "phenomenal cosmic power" while he's all big, red, and threatening looking should have been included again when theorizing if he had once been a wicked Djin,
what would you think about doing a video about the horned king's full Story? I've been curious about how the most scariest disney villain came to be. I also been thinking about who the evil king that was imprisoned in the cauldron
The Genie was trapped for AT LEAST 10,000 years..."10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck" meaning either he has been trapped in total of 10,000 years or hasn't HAD a master for 10,000 years meaning he's older. Also check out if you haven't heard of the theory that Tamotoa was the genies last master. 😄😘
I think trickery was involved. The genie wanted more power, more power than the godlike power he already had. A lever wizard entered a debate with him, setting up rules of conduct for contracts and such, giving the power to free will and binding contracts sprung from those. He then convinced the genie to create the bands and the lamp in clever storytelling. The genie would have unlimited power for a mere 2 wishes and 1 to release him, and the wizard was to wish for his freedom for the last wish. But the wizard painted the deal to sound far better than that. Once bound, the wizard betrayed the genie, gave 3 selfish wishes and buried the lamp... perhaps while saying "maybe your next master will be generous by wish 3." That explains why Jafar became the next godlike being trapped in the lamp.
There's always a chance he was a good genie which was causing problems for an evil force. If Genie was the good force's trump card, you better believe they'd try and find a way to get rid of him.
In the question about who can seal a genie? An answer can also be found in the Arabian Nights tale (a thousand and one nights to be precise). There is another tale that is almost similar to Aladdin which in this case is a fisherman who happens to drag a sealed jar with his fishing net from the bottom of a lake. The seal on the jar has the king's seal in it, and when the curious fisherman pried the jar open, lo and behold a smoke oozed out of the jar and formed a terrifying figure which is a genie. According to the genie himself that King Solomon who was blessed by God trapped him in there. The genie however was not giving any wishes to the fisherman, rather he would kill the poor man and be off. The fisherman had to trick the genie back into the jar and bargain for some wishes. It's an interesting bit from the Arabian Nights tale. There are other genies who were servants of Kings and apparently they can be controlled by the king in most cases.
I had a theory that the Genie from Aladdin was not a real Genie. I was thinking it may of been a fey or shape shifting fairy cursed to force whomever has the lamp. It would explain why the genie doesn't need to have the lamp rubbed in order to leave it, why when he considered getting out of the cave that was a wish, but once he pointed it out it no longer counted. But since Aladdin agreed "no more freebies" when he was drowning he didn't need verbal confirmation to use up a wish. Additionally, it explains why Jafar can control the genie just by having the lamp, even though he still has a contract with Aladdin. Also, if you want to go sequels, It explains why not only why removing Aladdin's clothing suddenly no longer made him a Prince (Father was a king of thieves) which logically shouldn't work since it was Made clear that Genies are more powerful. and in Return of Jafar, When the genie fought with Jafar, he had no chance. Though freed he was still a genie....allegedly. Being taken out so easily indicates that perhaps he was another kind of magical creature.
Your leaps of logic are so energetic it would mage the gummi bears proud. A reasonable effort, but we really have far to little information to begin to form a proper theory.
The Bartimaeus Trilogy has some great ideas concerning djinn and how they become enslaved by magicians. I highly recommend giving the whole series a read.
So the meru started it all in trapping the genie and the creation of all further ones who asked for the wish to become all powerful genies? Interesting, so this includes Jonathan freeman and his jafar who started his transformation from king cobra form to be given phenomenal cosmic powers. This would also include marwan kenzari as well who started the transformation out of his own human form, and with this being a younger guy with phenomenal cosmic powers without any way to control them, his late shackling comes from Will Smith’s genie having to tell him the restrictions behind phenomenal cosmic powers which means a very small living space before inserting the shackles As both smith and kenzari are animated by performance capture, marwan’s genie has an incomplete transformation where his entire human stature is retained where only the tail is a genie’s. But does have the use of phenomenal cosmic powers when the black lamp is rubbed
Actually, there is a way! There is an Arabian story in which a young man outwits a genie (the one from Aladdin!) and in the end gets him so mad, that he traps him in a lamp. I forget exactly how. (Beyond is Edited) AND the genie from the original story is actually evil! So his time in the lamp might have made the genie change his ways.
That's a great working theory. I never really thought about it. Its funny you showed that Sophia the first and I could see the similar association at first. Then, seems to fill in the blanks. Personally, I think Jafar was who he used to be. The genie character seems more passive aggressive and belittles his issues with humor. But, clearly there's more to the story. The castle looked similar to me, almost looks like a one story level on the outside at first and the female character reminded me of Jasmine below with the long black hair. For these reason, similar associations, unaddressed characters, it seems like Disney does give us clues about certain unexplained plot holes.Personally, I found that to be true with the Lion King. Actually, I figured out who Vitanis mother is, not Zira. But anyway before I get too off topic, loved the video. Can you do any about Dumbo? They have some Arabic musical references as well. All the musical scenes? With the exception of the first one b/c that one's pretty obvious.
There are two Aladen episodes where the creatures that captured him in the firest place, The Mukhtar, go to re-capture Genie. Episodes are called "Genie Hunt" and "The Hunted".
Now could you make a theory on how the lamp ended up in the cave of wonders. Or even how the cave of wonders came to exit in the first place.
I thought the concept came from the original Arabian Nights?
And also why Jafar knows where the lamp
@@gpaderx6105 perhaps because he's a sorcerer and his dark magics enabled him to know of its whereabouts.
Drew Asaro that’s a great idea 💡

The real story is interesting also as the carpet replaces the Genie of the Ring, a less powerful genie than that of the lamp.

can you do a theory on why Jafar was a more powerful genie than the original genie?
Ari Yad Jafar didn't care about rules unlike the Genie. The Genie was as powerful as Jafar but didn't use his full power. That's what I think anyway.
Ari Yad I think it was because of his wish
well if the original genie was able to give jafar those powers, surely he was equally as powerful?
Ari Yad in the second movie it says genie got weaker when he was freed to semi-fernominal nearly cosmic unlike a genie in a lamp
oh right. thanks. That doesn't explain why the genie wasn't able to stop Jafar after granting his third wish. The genie was done being Jafar's master and wasn't free yet, so he could have stopped jafar instead of Aladdin.

10,000 years the Genie says. So go back 10,000 years from Aladdin. Who was around back then that could do that? Or was it just another master that wasn't his first. Also, Jinns were caught by people back then according to things like the books of wisdom and Jewish/Muslim folktales. So who knows. Example: " Asmodeus, king of demons, was one day, according to the classical Rabbis, captured by Benaiah using the ring, and was forced to remain in Solomon's service."
Aladdin is from 11th century.

I really love the theory and this channel in general! Can you do one about Atlantis?
Oh yes please, Atlantis is such an underrated movie! Do something about Treasure Planet as well, I love both those movies and they are both so under-appreciated.
I'm happy you are enjoying it! This video I made a few weeks ago may not seem like an Atlantis video, but trust me it is! Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/v9x9T_WZm_M/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, Tangled and Atlantis are my favoutite Disney movies, so this is perfect!

well here is another question why was aladan the only one who could enter the cave of wonders and why was the gennie placed in the cave of wonders in the first place.
He even though he was a petty thief, he was doing it to survive and helped out others in need. He never stole for greed. He wasnt in the best of circumstances but he was a human of great potential and character.

Allow me to explain this in some detail. There are 2 episodes that go into this in some detail and I suggest you look them up or go watch them. They are The Genie Hunt and The Hunted. Where it goes into some detail about the genies first master and the one who created him.

I thought the genies higher masters was the Roc bird? I’m wondering how did they harness the genie and why the lamp in general!
Huh, I'd heard that it was King Solomon who imprisoned the Djin...
Fucking thank you! Yes Solomon was granted the power to summon and control Demons or Djinn by the God of the old testament
Thoralmir please explain
Muslims believe that Solomon, known to them as Sulaymān, was given a ring by the Archangel Michael that would give him command over all demons and spirits of the earth, including jinn. A number he imprisoned in various containers, like brass jars and lamps.
Thoralmir Same.It says in the Holy Qur'an that he had different kinds of jinns who would do everything he wished.
but that do not flow with in the time frame Aladdin is set. It shows that in the movie the sphinx is being finished Also the cartoon has Mechanicles who is a Greek and the Hercules show corsses over with the Aladdin show, thus Aladdin takes place long before Islam was birthed as a faith. Either Aladdin is Persian and thus probably A Zoratist or any number of ancient middle eastern faith that predates Islam
Pretty sure it was Solomon who sealed the Genie in the lamp. According to legend, a genie displeased Solomon somehow, probably granted him a wish exactly as worded rather than the way Solomon intended for it to be interpreted, and Solomon responded by sealing the genie away.
Maybe it was moui who trapped the genie , he's immortal so i believe he'd be around to see him and trapped him with the power of the gods , from his exhaustion he probably dropped it in the sea resulting in tamatoa finding it and resulting in his immense size , and I know tamatoa was around for mouis origins but maybe moui was a part of an incarnation cycle also resulting in his parents throwing him a way as he wasn't deemed"the chosen one"
Zarya Nova different time periods. Moana happen 100s of years after Aladdin.
Brady Voels: No real way to say. Moana could have happened thousands to hundreds of years ago.
Remember Tamatoa isn't a giant crab. He's a dark being around since near the beginning who happens to have that form. He's also either a demigod or Moanna's culture's version of a demon.
It was the Mukhtar. It is in the show.
Tracy Danger: They just said they were Genie hunters. Not that they crafted the lamps.
Just so you know, jinn are still there.they are just invisible after the last prophet 😑
They were never visible they were visible to Sulaiman cause Allah gave him that ability
That’s right
My thoughts were always Merlin did it. He has the ability to travel to any point in time, has a long life span as well as the good will and power to trap/punish a that isn't human and cause mischievous trouble.
Well the most common myth is that King Solomon was able to command them using their True Names. Matter of fact as I recall the Djinn found in a bottle by a fisherman said that he'd been imprisoned by King Solomon. This is also the first tale specifying 3 wishes (In the original Aladdin story, the Djinn just granted any wish the bearer of the lamp made, until Aladdin accidentally offended it by ordering it to steal a Roc's egg).
this probably is one of the few disney theories i've heard that actually make sense don't clash anything contradictions
I'm happy to hear you thought it seemed valid! Thanks for watching!
There's actually one more genie in Aladdin's tale. It's the Djinn of the ring. She is far weaker than the lamb genie yet she is also powerful enough for some wishes.

He did.
I feel a more plausible explanation is that the Genie was collateral? He wasn't necessarily evil, but the shear abundance of evil genies in the world, being captured and contained, made him a target by association. They may have mistaken him for an evil Genie and trapped him anyway.
The poor guy he just had an itty bitty living space.
Jafer jafer hes our man if he can't do it *GREAT*
Do you know Solomon? Or in Quran we know him as Prophet Sulaiman? He had an strong army of genie, i think he is the closest person that could mastering the genie, capture it in objects and King Solomon also wellknown as the King that created the big Palace with the help of Genie.
You're gettin' your wishes so *SIDDOWN!!!*
your profilepicture just made this so much better.
That kind of aggressive generosity is hilarious to me
Why is magi the only thing coming to mind?🤔🤔
I read that there is going to be a live-action movie that is supposed to be an origin story for the Genie; I believe it's meant to be released before or after the live-action Aladdin(most likely after, given we're getting info for Aladdin before Genie's story).

Cool theory, but one thing that bugs me is that if Genie was cursed, how do we explain Jafar’s lamp appearing out of now where? Aside from Jafar being slightly more powerful than the Genie they’re both the same. Maybe the prison of a Genie is magical manifestation of a failsafe. Because the Djinn are so powerful, there needs to be a way to control them. Not only does the lamp work as a prison, but in Jafar’s case it also proved to be a dangerous weakness. Which only Genie knew about. So, maybe the lamp simply comes into existence as a way to control a Djinn as well destroy a Djinn if there was a need to do so.
I know the original version of Aladdin am Arab and I know who are the jinn it's not like what most of you think and the answer is النبي سلميان عليه السلام
oh CMON
The Prophet peace be upon him???
Wut
You mean profit Muhammad ?
its prophet solomon guys cmon
Now THIS would be an interesting connection... and an interesting backstory for the Genie.
An extra caveat: this might also be related to how Jeannie, the female version from the sixties series I Dream Of Jeannie, was also created, though it tells differently. The Mauro could closely be related to people in the Arab peninsula, who possessed these magical abilities to control the jinn, though it's just a theory. Great work pointing this out.
I like the Idea of the Genie being once Evil. It gives rise to the idea that People/Entities can change for the better, If afforded the Opportunity.
Great theory, but in the Aladdin tv show we actually meet the genie binders, a group of people that do exactly what the name implies.... In fact we meet the very same one that binds Genie
well actully they were called genie hunters and the one we know of wasn't really stated to be the one that bind genie to the lamp
Donald Lang
It was Arabian nights.
Jinn or ginnie catchers were called mamluks. As far as cartoons are concerned.
In real life, there are people who have the knowledge to control the jin upon their will but it comes with a price. Once free they haunt the person and his family forever.
No i know the original story of Aladdin and I know who imprisoned them all النبي سليمان
When the film came out there was a magazine tie in that had an interview with Genie and he revealed he used to be human until some guys asked him to look into a lamp and that's how he became a genie.
do one on Mulan
Mulan is a real story from China. If you want to know more, go look up the legend...
My theory is that one of the Genie's masters simply wished for the Genie to be bound to the lamp as a means of control, to be banished or summoned at the whim of his Master.
I always thought the the same being who cursed Beast was the one who created the lamp. Knowing that humans would most likely wish to be "the most powerful in the univers," she came up with a clever lesson.
That wish would then create the catch 22 and swift justice that the lamp carries out. Genie was once a normal man who made that wish, just like the genie before him? 🤔
Question is, who was the first genie??
While your theory has some logic, there is a more likely answer that comes straight from the Aladdin TV series. There is a species known as the 'Mukhtar', whom Genie describes as living only for enslaving genies. Given Genie's immense fear of them (A fear I that is too strong to be just from hearing stories of them), I would say that Genie was probably imprisoned by such a creature.
please do who killed Bambi's mom?

Luce Kidlets I've been wondering why nobody has mentioned the black cauldron yet, I want to know more about who the evil king that was trapped in the cauldron, and the full story of the horned king, but yeah Atlantis would be cool.
Luce Kidlets Atlantis was just and Island that was volcanic like Krakatoa, and it ended up like Krakatoa. Boom.
I'm actually reading the book "1001 nights" and in the story called "The Fisherman" a fisherman founds a bronze cup and when he breaks a seal on the cup a Genie emerges from it and he explains that Salomon the great prophet of God imprisoned him because he was an evil spirit that rebel from God and he didn't obey Salomon, so he was forced to pull the throne of him but he still wasn't obedient, so Salomon imprisoned him in the cup with a Seal for 4 centuries. Sorry for my English, I'm Mexican :P
Watch Aladdin The Animated Series. They explain it in the episode Genie Hunt.
Ricky Rehbein What happens in that episode?
Interesting theory to a question I never thought to ask.
Amazing how many things we take for granted, or never question.
Thanks for making this video! I'm playing the genie in my city's production of Aladdin. This video made me laugh! It really helped me to get inside of my character. Thanks!❤️
I’m not that knowledgeable of Djinn lore, but I could work it out by analogy. In mythology and folklore demons (which are somewhat similar to Djinns) are usually deceived into complying with the protagonist, which sometimes gets them sealed into various artifacts. I believe any human that is cunning enough might have bound the Genie to the lamp, pretty much like Aladdin gets himself out of the Cave of Wonders without wasting a wish. It would be pretty cool if the first master was a pseudo-Aladdin, wouldn’t it?
Then again, in occultism it is believed that King Solomon used to control demons. I know people are arguing about this statement in comments below, so I’ll be clear: it’s not part of my beliefs. I’m merely speculating about a fictional subject, in the context of lore and fantasy. While King Solomon might have never left Israel, it is likely that successive owners of the lamp used to travel and somewhat got the lamp in the Cave of Wonders.
Hey Issac! I've been watching your video of Kion's disappearance in The Lion King 2. Which gave me an excellent idea for a sequel. WHERE WAS SARABI IN BOTH THE LION KING 2 AND THE LION GUARD????????

Simple answer really. She died of old age. She was an adult at the start of the first movie and we she's still alive when Simba returns as an adult to end Scar's reign. Which is going through a period of drought and famine so bad that remaining at pride rock is a death sentence. Not to mention that Scar seems to get furious when his authority is challenged or compared to Mufasa.
My question is, how did the genie's lamp end up in the cave of wonders?
it make you wonder
SOPHIA THE FIRST? SOPHIA THE FIRST?!? Sophea la furst?!??!??
Great idea - with just one problem - geography. The Meru, from what I understand, existed in what would later become Latin America. I do not think that they would be operating on or near the Arabian Peninsula.
And even if the Genie’s havoc was originally in what would later become Latin America (thereby causing him to run in with the Meru) - how would the lamp have gotten all the way from Meruvia (later to be Avalon) to Agraba (which is clearly in Arabia)?
You need to find some way to answer this question in order for your idea to work.
I’ll just come out:
I trapped him
J vdB Why?
@@thefreerepublicofadmiralpr2935 wanted robin williams for himself?
OMG
Yea technically it was you, coz you were the last one holding the lamp while he was cursed, but don't take all the credit. All the 27 Elder Mystics, including you and me were responsible for casting the spells on the top of the Forever Tower, which was ironically named, for it crumbled during the cursing, and became the Cave of Wonders.
For those of you wondering why, let's just say that the Genie wasn't this sweet being when he was free the first time. His imprisonment humbled him and made him as he is now. I suppose Jafar would turn good too, in a couple of millenia.
To be honest, I didn't like the fact that Irelene recorded the story in that book of hers, exactly because it would fall in the hands of someone like Jafar. But in the end, it was all good, the redeemed genie was set free, and an evil one took his place, all because of that book. I can almost see her smug smile after that Aladdin incident.
Souriddha Sen hows the last millenniums been? Mines been good and I found a genie ring don’t remember cursing any other genies apart from him
I'm wondering how after specifying "all powerful" in his become a genie wish, he was limited by lamp and bracelet/shackles rather than a free genie.
Jinn are invisible to man and the shaitan jinn don't give wishes but within the context of the Disney universe it might make sense
Shaitan is actually the Devil
I think the clip of him saying "phenomenal cosmic power" while he's all big, red, and threatening looking should have been included again when theorizing if he had once been a wicked Djin,
what would you think about doing a video about the horned king's full Story? I've been curious about how the most scariest disney villain came to be. I also been thinking about who the evil king that was imprisoned in the cauldron
The Genie was trapped for AT LEAST 10,000 years..."10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck" meaning either he has been trapped in total of 10,000 years or hasn't HAD a master for 10,000 years meaning he's older. Also check out if you haven't heard of the theory that Tamotoa was the genies last master. 😄😘
2:16 actually djinn (at least always I've seen it spelled) has a d in front of it
I think trickery was involved. The genie wanted more power, more power than the godlike power he already had. A lever wizard entered a debate with him, setting up rules of conduct for contracts and such, giving the power to free will and binding contracts sprung from those. He then convinced the genie to create the bands and the lamp in clever storytelling. The genie would have unlimited power for a mere 2 wishes and 1 to release him, and the wizard was to wish for his freedom for the last wish. But the wizard painted the deal to sound far better than that. Once bound, the wizard betrayed the genie, gave 3 selfish wishes and buried the lamp... perhaps while saying "maybe your next master will be generous by wish 3." That explains why Jafar became the next godlike being trapped in the lamp.
Could we get one on the origins of the magic carpet and the cave of wonders,
There's always a chance he was a good genie which was causing problems for an evil force. If Genie was the good force's trump card, you better believe they'd try and find a way to get rid of him.
i think iago was a prince that didnt want to marry jasmine
Also, what speaks for your theory, just listen what Genie said, when Jafar got trapped in his lamp. It's like he's speaking from experience.
So true Michaela! Good point!
Wotso's videos are so unique! It seriously shows how much he puts into researching!!
I'm glad you can see how I differentiate myself from other creators. I'm glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!

In the question about who can seal a genie? An answer can also be found in the Arabian Nights tale (a thousand and one nights to be precise). There is another tale that is almost similar to Aladdin which in this case is a fisherman who happens to drag a sealed jar with his fishing net from the bottom of a lake. The seal on the jar has the king's seal in it, and when the curious fisherman pried the jar open, lo and behold a smoke oozed out of the jar and formed a terrifying figure which is a genie. According to the genie himself that King Solomon who was blessed by God trapped him in there. The genie however was not giving any wishes to the fisherman, rather he would kill the poor man and be off. The fisherman had to trick the genie back into the jar and bargain for some wishes. It's an interesting bit from the Arabian Nights tale. There are other genies who were servants of Kings and apparently they can be controlled by the king in most cases.
Love this video! Can you do a video of why Jafar can't enter the cave of wonders? And the history behind the cave of wonders.
I Think Whoever Trapped Him In The Lamp Was Another Villian
Nicholas Blaschke no it was allah he made the cave of wonders
It was King Solomon this guy didn't do enough research.
I had a theory that the Genie from Aladdin was not a real Genie. I was thinking it may of been a fey or shape shifting fairy cursed to force whomever has the lamp. It would explain why the genie doesn't need to have the lamp rubbed in order to leave it, why when he considered getting out of the cave that was a wish, but once he pointed it out it no longer counted. But since Aladdin agreed "no more freebies" when he was drowning he didn't need verbal confirmation to use up a wish. Additionally, it explains why Jafar can control the genie just by having the lamp, even though he still has a contract with Aladdin.
Also, if you want to go sequels, It explains why not only why removing Aladdin's clothing suddenly no longer made him a Prince (Father was a king of thieves) which logically shouldn't work since it was Made clear that Genies are more powerful. and in Return of Jafar, When the genie fought with Jafar, he had no chance. Though freed he was still a genie....allegedly. Being taken out so easily indicates that perhaps he was another kind of magical creature.
This wierd music is doing my head in
Your leaps of logic are so energetic it would mage the gummi bears proud. A reasonable effort, but we really have far to little information to begin to form a proper theory.
The Bartimaeus Trilogy has some great ideas concerning djinn and how they become enslaved by magicians. I highly recommend giving the whole series a read.
So the meru started it all in trapping the genie and the creation of all further ones who asked for the wish to become all powerful genies?
Interesting, so this includes Jonathan freeman and his jafar who started his transformation from king cobra form to be given phenomenal cosmic powers.
This would also include marwan kenzari as well who started the transformation out of his own human form, and with this being a younger guy with phenomenal cosmic powers without any way to control them, his late shackling comes from Will Smith’s genie having to tell him the restrictions behind phenomenal cosmic powers which means a very small living space before inserting the shackles
As both smith and kenzari are animated by performance capture, marwan’s genie has an incomplete transformation where his entire human stature is retained where only the tail is a genie’s. But does have the use of phenomenal cosmic powers when the black lamp is rubbed
Actually, there is a way! There is an Arabian story in which a young man outwits a genie (the one from Aladdin!) and in the end gets him so mad, that he traps him in a lamp. I forget exactly how. (Beyond is Edited) AND the genie from the original story is actually evil! So his time in the lamp might have made the genie change his ways.
Oh interesting! I know in lots of pop culture genies are really manipulative and those stories probably play into that. Thanks for watching!
can u do a theory about Atlantis please😊😃😄😆😆
Rory Cheshire I also think it's a great idea!
Katarina Miličić I agree
I think I just have to do some type of video on them. A lot of people see interested! Thanks for watching!
We've been trying to figure this one out for a while. How big is it inside the lamp?
That's a great working theory. I never really thought about it. Its funny you showed that Sophia the first and I could see the similar association at first. Then, seems to fill in the blanks. Personally, I think Jafar was who he used to be. The genie character seems more passive aggressive and belittles his issues with humor. But, clearly there's more to the story. The castle looked similar to me, almost looks like a one story level on the outside at first and the female character reminded me of Jasmine below with the long black hair. For these reason, similar associations, unaddressed characters, it seems like Disney does give us clues about certain unexplained plot holes.Personally, I found that to be true with the Lion King. Actually, I figured out who Vitanis mother is, not Zira. But anyway before I get too off topic, loved the video. Can you do any about Dumbo? They have some Arabic musical references as well. All the musical scenes? With the exception of the first one b/c that one's pretty obvious.
There are two Aladen episodes where the creatures that captured him in the firest place, The Mukhtar, go to re-capture Genie. Episodes are called "Genie Hunt" and "The Hunted".
