[Aladdin] Where did all of Prince Ali's retinue come from? Did the genie create actual humans and animals?

There were hundreds of soldiers, dancing girls, cooks, etc. plus lots of animals.

And where did they go afterwards?

Genie's rules aren't hard and fast, meaning that he can kill people, make them fall in love and bring them back from the dead (likely not in that order), but are moral choices made by Genie. Since he's a moral character, he likely has other rules that he imposes but are such uncommon wishes that he doesn't need to say them immediately upon being released.

Now, let's explore the options available. He could've created the people. He could've brainwashed them and transported them to Agrabah. Or they weren't real and just constructs/illusions created to emulate people.

The first one, creation, means that either he kills them when they disappear, or he spreads these adult babies, which know little more than singing and dancing, to the far corners of the Earth. The former is against his rules, the latter has serious implications that a moral character wouldn't want to create.

The second option, brainwashing, also has serious implications. It seems to be an extension of the "fall in love" rule by making somebody create decisions against their will. It also ends up with these people having temporary amnesia (hopefully, otherwise they'll have serious mental issues), not remembering the previous [time period] and neglecting their duties.

This only leaves the idea that they are constructs that are not people, but simulacra that can only expound on the greatness of Prince Ali.
