Genie in the Aladdin was created by Eric Goldberg who was just starting to take his first steps in the Walt Disney world. It is believed that Eric's cheerful personality and humor had a very big impact on creating the Genie character in the movie. When it comes to graphics, Goldberg was mainly inspired by a famous caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. The entire style of the movie Aladdin was very "cartoonish" meaning it had deformed buildings, everything was round and often misshaped. This type of style was chosen in order to create a stronger effect of an imaginary Agrabah kingdom.
