It is like the genie (Robin Williams) in the animated film Aladdin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_(1992_film)
Quote from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103639/quotes
--------
Aladdin: You're a prisoner?
Genie: It's all part and parcel, the whole "genie gig":
[grows to a gigantic size]
Genie: Phenomenal cosmic powers!
[shrinks down inside the lamp]
Genie: Itty-bitty living space!
