It was an Autozam AZ-3 (AKA Mazda MX-3), actually. Toei apparently had some sort of a product placement deal with Mazda in the 80's and early 90's because their cars showed up in them so much and Mazda's logo is in the credits of some of the shows (like Changeman).


Anyway, why didn't they just wish for the genie's freedom like in just about every other genie story ever? That way, Bandora (or whoever) couldn't abuse his powers again, and he could keep hanging out with those kids.

Interesting to note: this episode aired just a few months before the Disney film.

They never thought to wish him free? Aladdin didn't think of it until he asked the genie.

To be fair, he and Al hadn't exactly get to know each other very well and genie seemed pretty energetic for someone condemned to be in a lamp for all eternity.
Here, on the other hand, they show, as long as he grant wishes, people like bandora can make him do things he doesn't want to.

To be fair, the Disney Aladdin is totally different from the original story where the Jinn isn't freed and in fact, is hardly mentioned besides the part where it grants wishes.

The Djinn did seem to recognize Bandora, but I guess the writers didn't want to expand on that, perhaps she was the one who sealed him in the lamp to begin with. I don't think throwing him back into the ocean would keep him away from Bandora cause i'm sure she could break that seal given enough time.
