Of course, when audiences got their first look at the more naturalistic Genie in Aladdin’s famously controversial Super Bowl commercial, the reaction was - to put it kindly - flummoxed. So our take on the Genie went to being more naturalistic so that his mannerisms, which the audience has a very subconscious knowledge of, could shine through.” It started to feel a bit odd: You felt like you had something copying Will rather than actually being Will.
