* ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' has the spells ''wish'' and ''miracle''. The 3.5 versions of these spells have very specific things they can do without risking [[Literal Genie]], [[Jackass Genie]], and/or spell failure. (Well, ''miracle'' can fail if you try to do something against your deity's nature.)
* ''Magic: The Gathering'' has [http://magiccards.info/ju/en/37.html a few] [http://magiccards.info/ju/en/124.html wish] [http://magiccards.info/ju/en/64.html spells] that allow you to take a card from anywhere in your collection, and bring it into the current game.
 
Line 139:
* In ''[[Shrek]] Forever After'', the movie starts with Fiona wishing on a star for "every day to be like this one." Cue a [[Groundhog Day Loop]] and Shrek's midlife crisis.
* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' had a recurring villain named [[Literal Genie|Desiree]], who would grant you any wish.
* This was the whole premise of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]''. Complete with the kid's inability to make a wish that didn't go horribly, horribly wrong.
** Norm the Genie on the same show lives in a lava lamp and the third wish sucks him back into the lamp. The third wish is always the [[Reset Button]], too, because Norm is a huge [[Jackass Genie]], and tweaks the wishes to screw over the wishers.
* In the [[Christmas Special]] ''Christopher The Christmas Tree'', when Christopher first meets Hooty, he expresses his belief in wishes, partially to explain why he's still optimistic about becoming a Christmas tree, despite not being picked year after year. "But I believe in wishes. I '''know''' they come true, as sure as the stars above." He also encourages Hooty to make a wish, which Hooty does, while a chorus sings about wishing on a star in the background (no, not [[Pinocchio|that song]]). By the end of the special, both Christopher and Hooty have gotten their wishes.
** The album on which the animated special is based is even more explicit about wishing on a star, as Christopher tells Hooty, "You can have anything in the whole world you want, if you wish on the Wishing Star. But you gotta believe in it, or it won't come true."
** In both the album and the animated special, there's a little boy who wishes on the star on his Christmas tree, but since his wish is to be President of the United States, we don't get to see if his wish comes true or not.
* ''[[Lilo and& Stitch: The Series|Lilo and Stitch The Series]]'' had an experiment which granted wishes, and could only do a certain number of them, and took your wishes literally (for instance, if you wish to become ruler of the universe, you will become a ruler, that is a stationery equipment). The episode ends up teaching the [[Aesop]] of "Be careful what you wish for".
* An episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' has Elmyra wish on a star for her doll to become real, which it does. After being terrorised for a day she wishes on the star again to make the doll like all her other dolls...so they all become real!
* The ''[[Animaniacs]]'' [[Big Damn Movie]] had the entire cast racing to be the first to the Wishing Star. Wacko wishes for {{spoiler|another haypenny}}.
