I just don't think you can do Aladdin without a genie (or some similar wish granting thing). That would be like doing Cinderella without the shoe, Jack without the beanstalk, or Snow White without the apple. And so far we have never seen a story featured that excluded one of the main aspects of the story. A supose you can say it can just be about Aladdin and the lamp, but why would Aladdin and Jafar fight over an oil lamp if it didn't have a genie in it? See the problem.
