This Is Who REALLY Trapped Genie In The Lamp...

This Is Who REALLY Trapped Genie In The Lamp (Genie's Sketchy Backstory Reveals ALL) | Disney Aladdin

For being one of the most beloved Disney characters of all time, Genie never really got any story of his own in Aladdin or any of the sequels. And they never really delved into the mystical being's back story, particularly how he got trapped into that golden lamp in the first place. Thankfully, after scouring the internet and digging through various possibilities, it finally feels like there is a solid theory that could explain Genie’s untold backstory and answer the question we’ve all been asking ourselves: who exactly trapped him in that lamp?

In Aladdin the Series, genie was reunited with his second to last master. It was revealed that this Master traded Genie to a Sorcerer in exchange for Inmortality. And it was the Sorcerer who supposedly was the one who left Genie in the Cave of Wonders.

[harrisphera]

I always assumed it was implied he was always trapped automatically. Along with every other genie. Since when Jafaar wished to be a genie he automatically had a lamp.

[Nurkmrath]

Nice theory, but don't forget that there could be other reasons to trap Genie other than him being evil. Genie is mischievous and uncontrollable in Aladdin, exactly the sort of being who might cause chaos for the sake of a laugh and never stop to consider the consequences. He wouldn't be the first prankster they put away.

[alexiaivan]

In 1001 Arabian nights, it is said that king Suliman trapped every dijin, aka genie, in lamps, which he then locked inside a magic cave filled with magical treasure.

[SnubAlarm]

If it isn't just automatic for genies to be restrained like that by nature, then why did Jafar become trapped in a lamp just from his wish to be a genie? No one from these theories was there to trap him the moment he changed. He became a genie, at which point his shackles and lamp materialized on their own, already bound to him and him to them.

[DanGoodchild]

I'd hazard a guess that it could have been the lamp's previous occupant. Genie trapped Jafar in a lamp by turning him into a genie after Aladdin tricked him into wishing for it. It seems plausible that a clever and less kind genie might have tricked their master into wishing to trade places with them; freeing the genie and trapping Genie in the lamp instead.

[johnballard]

I was under the impression that djinn being bound to an object was a price of power thing. After all, Jafar was bound to a lamp as soon as he was made a djinn.

[aceofaces]

A real wrinkle to this theory is that as soon as Jafar wished he could become a genie, he was immediately shackled and imprisoned. The only way that this could make sense is if a Jinn and a Genie are actually two different, but similar beings, with a genie specifically being a Jinn that is bound and imprisoned to an object, and a Jinn itself being something that is unbound and free. Had Jafar wished to have been a Jinn then, he would have been unstoppable. However, there's nothing to suggest that genies and jinns are in fact separate and distinct beings.

Another thing to look at with Ursula not being able to, is simply look at the time era; just by the 10, 000 years remark, and doubtful that Ursula is immortal or that she has eternal youth, there is no way she could; just by that simple logical outlook

[Shearper]

oh no. you said that until he learned about friendship. and we all know what that means. That genie had to learn about the magic of friendship. Magic of Friendship is not only the most powerful form of magic, but is also, most likely. Universal.

how often has friendship turned villains into heroes or allies to the main character. Friendship is the GOAT form of magic

[americusfallout]

Dont forget Moana talked about there being a crab getting a wish and someone sealing a Genie as a deed.

"Ariel's magic voice" ....🤔

I'm casting my vote on the malicious Odd Sisters who needed no excuse to cast spells on somebody.

[smiller]

The Odd Sisters aren't part of the "original" concept, but since you're throwing theories around, we don't know the circumstances that may have influenced Ursula to trap Genie or anyone else (unless someone writes it into being).
Genie needs to be trapped for the Aladdin story to work. His backstory isn't as important, though curious minds wonder.
The ruling of semi-tested Maruvian theory: _Plausible_

[rowlandandrew]

Hi I love Disney and there movies so
Much and Aladdin is easily one of my all time favorites I injoyd this video

[ruthalber]

It might have been Jafar that wacky little weasel

[stephenkuntz]

Given o its ground breaking theory of the Peruvian civilization that had a hand for creating powerful magical artifacts and being given of a insights into how our favorite big blue genie background history on how he became a djinn the first place, if he was a Evil Djinn before his imprisonment within te lamp.

Given us of a more clarity and where Genie learns of his past mistakes and try to be more better himself and give his master of advice, guidance and proper understanding of ones own choices and be wary of the consequences it'll bring with without thinking through. As the old saying goes "Be careful of what you'll wish for"

[stanleyschlosser]

what if both the odd sisters made them believe he was evil under a disquise spell

[TheCanadienMickeyMouse]

I think it took a genie to trap genie? after all jaffar wished to become a genie and genie did state he was trapped for 10, 000 years and that his master was LARGER than a human aladdin ( your a lot smaller than my last master) maybe his last master was a real gin and he asked to become a genie? not too sure but also 10, 000 years in early ad agraba would be 7-8000 BC i dont think people knew what gold was or valubale gold is and rare precious stones seen in cave of wonders so maybe with genie's shape shifting we see him as jack nicholson, rogerfeil turned abu into a car and compaire it to 3 season tv serise that has machines and robots powered by stones maybe aladdin takes place in the far far future? and genie did say something about phononomal cosmic powers traped him in the lamp maybe a real gin or a god as we do see gods at least 1 in the aladdin cartoon serise traped him and or that ginie was a human at one stage and was turned into the big blue lout we all love today?
This is a great epiosde great theory who knows maybe disney will make a prequel aldaddin movie?

[monsterhighandbarbiefan]

he mention his last master whoever it was i was curious who trapped him in his magic lamp for 10000 years i've seen elena of avalor and sofia the first sofia got the frog ups when she lied
