It wasn't really a departure, it was a wholesale embracing of the Genie from Aladdin cause he became an instant cultural icon. The OTT silliness, the famous funny guy playing himself (Woods and Devito), humor that drops the timelessness of old Disney and replaces it with 4th wall breaking modern humor. It was about as safe a movie as Disney could possibly have made at the time.
