Barry Bostwick plays TWO genies with unhinged commitment.

Micky Dolenz
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Micky Dolenz of The Monkees directed this after decades in TV, making this his bizarre contribution to the Disney musical adaptation wars.
This aired the same year as Disney's animated Aladdin, making 1992 the year of competing lamp-based entertainment—one became a classic, this became a TMDB 5.6.
