The first ever announcement from Disney about this live-action adaption of Aladdin being under development was in October of 2016. Of course, this film’s development process did not go smoothly without any issue. The film’s production process was initially pushed back some months into 2017, as their progress on the search finding the perfect actors for the main roles of Princess Jasmine and Aladdin had taken much longer than initially expected.

There was also the criticism onslaught Disney faced after reports coming out during the early part of 2018 about it using brown color face paint in order to blend more extras in the background in some specific scenes. It then responded the allegations by releasing a statement through BBC that stated that diversity of their background performers as well as their cast was an important requirement and it is only during a few instances when specialty skills, control (stunt performers, animal handling, and rigs for special effects), and safety were needed that they made the crew blend in.
