Aladdin had a very solid fanbase. For example, they would have never made a musical out of it if it wasn’t the case. So it was already set for a certain success. I don’t know about you all, but word of mouth was great. So many people talked to me about it (even tho I had already seen it !). The movie was well done, they had some epic scenes. And Will did his thing, the genie was as goofy and crazy as in the animated version. I also like the fact they slightly changed things here and there without stepping too far.
