Current Events > Are There Any Movies/Shows Where "I want Infinite Wishes" Was Used?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Any movies/tvshows/anime/cartoon where the individual was granted a wish or two. And that person asked if he/she could have infinite wishes?

Or Where it was acknowledged that the person couldn't have more wishes than was set.

Aladdin in a way

Duck Tales Treasure movie one.

Where Duey(?) Wished for a million wishes and the genie was "Ah, come on, you know it doesn't work like that" or something.

The Fairly Oddparents did this with one of the Norm Macdonald episodes

not a movie/show, but in one of the CYOA Goosebump books you meet an evil genie and the way to 'defeat' her is to wish for unlimited wishes

pretty sure it's acknowledged in that x-files episode with the genie

Why didn't Aladdin make a deal with Genie: in return for setting him free, Genie has to grant him wishes every now and then?

^^^ There is a Twilight Zone Episode that is just about like the scenario you mention. It's called "A Nice Place to Visit" Season 1, ep. 28.

There was an Are You Afraid of the Dark? episode that did this.

The wish was granted, but it turned you into a genie. I think the kid wished for a million wishes or something. So he'd be stuck as a genie until he gave out 1 million other wishes to other people.

I thought it was because since he was freed, his power was greatly diminished.

I think you guys are getting confused about that scenario. Genie had to serve Aladdin for three wishes, and explicitly states that Aladdin can't wish for more wishes. So, Aladdin can use up the three wishes, which he wants to do because of the princess and Jafar, or he can use two wishes for himself and one wish to make Genie free. If Aladdin uses all three wishes for himself, then Genie just keeps on as a freelance servant, just the same as before.

Not a movie or show but, in the sixth grade there was a short story in my English textbook.

The premise was this girl found a magic frog or snail or something. And it offered her wishes. She wished for unlimited wishes.

The story ended when she got embarrassed about something and said "I wish I was dead."

I wouldn't really say he gets any wishes, he was just given a few things over and over again. "The Man In The Bottle" would fit this really well though. The guy tries to get more wishes and I think the Man said something bad would happen if he wished for more.
