I don't think our fandom is one to talk on that subject. |

I... uh, go for a version of djinnis I adapted to my own warped ends. They're quite different from the Western notion; in some ways they're a lot more similar to 'traditional' djinnis. |

You know, I never saw it as a rip-off, or related it to "our movie" (Like AG says. XD) in anyway.
I just never liked Bratz dolls, and the commercials get on my nerves. Why doesn't anyone follow the stories of real djinnies? Stupid Western version... |

So, are there pictures of these dolls somewhere or what? Do they wear the same colors as Genie or something and that's why you say it's a ripoff? |

I for one cant' stand the bratz genie magic dolls. the blonde in particular, not sure why...i don't mind the one with the darkest hair, maybe coz it reminds me of a made up character i created for a story, only she doesn't have ridiculously large lips and a pole like body! |

-pulls out an xray and places it in front of AG, points to this random blob floating around in her shaped like Aladdin-
And it's right there. |

I hate Bratz, but I have been soooo tempted to by these just for the genie factor. I refuse, though. I have diginity...somewhere |

I understand where your coming from, but with Harry Potter,Harry isn't the only established wizard in the movie world, so seeing wizards in other places doesn't seem like a rip. But with Aladdin, as I said before, when you hear the word genie, a lot of ppl think of Aladdin's genie, whereas with HP I can think of multiple wizards and not just him. |

Well, I guess it depends on what you're into. For me, Aladdin was my first experience with genies, so when I hear that word, I automatcally think of Disney's version. Am I the only one who feels this way? |
Quite possibly. Trying to say Bratz ripped off Disney because Disney made a movie that involved a genie is like trying to say Harry Potter ripped off the story of King Arthur because it involved a wizard. |
