Series case study · Disney’s Aladdin
Nine films from behind the scenes of a West End musical.
A nine-part behind-the-scenes series for Disney’s Aladdin. Each episode takes one part of the production, from costume and set design to the stage crew, the ensemble and the music, and lets the creative team, cast and crew explain how the show comes together every night.
How we made the series.
One team across every episode: the same crew, the same look and the same standards, from the first film to the last.
