Disney did not get the response they were hoping for when they unveiled their first look at Will Smith as the Aladdin Genie.
However, the director believes that the public perception of Will Smith’s Aladdin Genie changed for the better when the full-length trailer was released in March.
Upon looking back, Will Smith and Ritchie think some of the backlash was kind of funny.
However, social media is still having a good time making fun of the live-action Aladdin.
