the genie first appears in "aladdin", where he is released from a magical oil lamp by the titular character in the collapsed cave of wonders. after he explains that he can grant three wishes, aladdin, knowing that genie would only grant his wish to get out of the cave if he used one of his wishes, dupes him into freeing aladdin and abu from the cave without using a wish. at a faraway oasis, the genie is shocked when he finds that aladdin didn't use his first wish to get out of the cave and reluctantly agrees to let aladdin's first wish to be spared. asked by aladdin what he would wish for, genie admits he would wish for freedom, since genies must follow the orders of a master—in this case, aladdin. he accepts aladdin's promise to use the third wish to set him free, then grants aladdin his first wish: making him a prince so he can legally court princess jasmine. genie goes into hiding after leading a parade to the agrabah palace. genie is released again when aladdin is shackled, gagged, and thrown off a cliff into the ocean by jafar's guards. he rescues aladdin as the second wish upon liberally interpreting aladdin's nodding head. later, genie has a falling out with aladdin when he starts to think he may have to break his promise to use the third wish, out of fear of what will happen should someone find out he is not royalty.
