There sure are a lot of similarities between the two. Anyone else notice them?

I have noticed but I think the movie was based on the original Aladdin story and One Thousand and One Nights

Yeah. They're similar because they're loose adaptations of the same source material.

I doubt it. Stories involving people getting their hands on genie lamps all tend to follow the same basic outline. The hero (and possibly his friends make some wishes on the lamp), the villain finds out about the lamp, gets ahold of it, and then starts to wreak havoc with the power it gives him/her. The heroes get it back and either re-bury it or free the genie. The end.
The only real variation I usually see to the formula is if the genie is malevolent and more like a djinn from the mythology that spawned them.
