So i bought these 3 Famicom bootleg games and am in the process of purchasing a Famicom
Will these games work on an original Famicom?

i only have aladdin and the lion king. They work like a charm on original Famicom.

i believe that super donkey kong will definitely work too.

however, please be aware of modern pirate carts. They have very thin PCB which is floating slightly at the plastic case. And sometimes it's very hard to find the proper fitting in the cartridge slot. Say, when you put cartridge into famicom, it will fit well only 1-2 times out of 10 times. So i'd prefer to open up a case and use bare PCB. So it fits well everytime  :)

I hate to be rude, but Aladdin and Lion King as far as i seen don't have screws

How does that prevent you from opening the case? I have the lion king on cartridge and its quite easy to open the cartridge to get the bare pcb, screws or not.

Perhaps I am just missing something here?

Apologies, i haven't received either of them yet and i just presumed the 2 halves would be stuck together and you'd have to break it to get the PCB.
My apologies.

There is a 95% compatibility rate, I would say, if not 98%.  Very few modern glob top bootlegs will not work on original hardware, mostly some newer multicarts, a few of the (modern) makes of the Waixing / Nanjing games, etc.

The compatibility issue, while sometimes there, is quite small.
