[edit]Abu
[edit]Abu | |
---|---|
First appearance | Aladdin (1992) |
Created by | Joe Grant |
Voiced by | Frank Welker |
Species | Monkey |
Gender | Male |
Abu is Aladdin's kleptomaniac pet monkey, who is greedy and seeks treasure. In Aladdin: The Series, he is a voice of dissent whenever he is dragged into Iago's schemes, though, over time, they go from enemies to friends after Iago's reformation. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study Abu's movements.[1] Abu is based on Abu, a thief portrayed by Sabu Dastagir in The Thief of Bagdad.[2][3]
In other media, Abu appears in the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise, the animated television series House of Mouse, and the mobile game Disney Heroes: Battle Mode.[4]
In the 2019 film, Abu is depicted as a tufted capuchin.[5]
Magic Carpet
[edit]Magic Carpet | |
---|---|
First appearance | Aladdin (1992) |
Created by | Randy Cartwright |
Alias | Carpet |
Gender | Genderless (referred to with masculine pronouns) |
The Magic Carpet is an ancient carpet that Aladdin finds in the Cave of Wonders' treasure room. It does not speak, instead expressing itself through pantomime and movements, as well as using its tassels as hands and feet.[6] Though genderless, it is referred to with male pronouns due to the Arabic language using masculine pronouns by default. It is playful, as it reacts with Abu, intelligent, as it beats Genie at chess, and helpful, as it helps Aladdin romance Jasmine during "A Whole New World."
Carpet's design was maintained through CGI.[6] Advances in CGI had progressed since the ballroom sequence in Beauty and the Beast, making it easier to animate Carpet 's texture and pattern regardless of which way it moved.[7] Animator Randy Cartwright refused to resort to the anthropomorphic style of putting a face on a carpet, instead using body language to make Carpet more flexible and almost human.[6] Computer artist Tina Price took Cartwright's outlined form and superimposed the Persian design, which could stretch, squash, and roll up without changing.[6] According to film critic Leonard Maltin, this made Carpet's animation one of the best collaborations between traditional and technologically advanced animation to date.[6]
It appears in the TV series, as well as in cameo appearances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Princess and the Frog.
It also appears in Kingdom Hearts in the world of Agrabah, acting as transport between the city of Agrabah and the Cave of Wonders after Sora frees it.
Carpet appears in the 2019 film.
Several Disney rides have been based on Carpet: The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at Adventureland in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, which simulates flight on a carpet, Flying Carpets Over Agrabah at Toon Studio in Walt Disney Studios Park in France, and Jasmine's Flying Carpets at Arabian Coast in Tokyo DisneySea.[8]

His wife comes from the kingdom of Shirabad, which Jafar sought to conquer, and was murdered prior to the events of the film, causing him to keep Jasmine inside the palace to protect her.

|
The Peddler is a mysterious desert-faring merchant who appears at the beginning of the original film and in the ending of Aladdin and the King of Thieves. The Peddler scene was improvised by Williams, who was put in front of a table with props and began pitching them as products from a salesman's catalogue.[9] He implores the viewer to 'come closer', a reference to actor Sydney Greenstreet's film trailers. In the original ending of Aladdin, the Peddler, now a sailor, was revealed to be the Genie, either masquerading as a human or having been turned into a human, but this was cut from the final film. Despite this, the directors of the film later revealed that the Peddler is still the Genie.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
He also appears in Disney's Aladdin, selling extra lives and wishes to the player, and in Kingdom Hearts, where he is voiced by Corey Burton.
In the 2019 film, he is a mariner and marries Dalia some time after Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding, later having two children.
Tiger God (Cave of Wonders)
[edit]Cave of Wonders | |
---|---|
First appearance | Aladdin (1992) |
Voiced by | Frank Welker |
The Tiger God is a giant head of a tiger made of sand and the guardian of the Cave of Wonders, who is awakened through the Scarab Medallion. Its job is to protect the Genie's lamp and give it to those who are worthy while eliminating those who are not. The treasures hoarded inside the cave are used to test those who are worthy to enter, as touching them will cause the Tiger God to eliminate them. It was portrayed by computer-generated imagery, following reference drawings by animator Eric Goldberg.[16]
After Jafar and Gazeem obtain both halves of the Scarab Medallion, it guides them to where the Cave of Wonders is. There, they awaken it and tells Gazeem that only a "Diamond in the Rough" to enter. However, they fail to understand this, and it kills Gazeem after attempting to enter the Cave at Jafar's instruction. Afterwards, it returns to its slumber, causing the Scarab Medallion halves to return to normal, but not before advising Jafar to search for a Diamond in the Rough. Jafar later reawakens the Tiger God, who has brought Aladdin and Abu with him, and allows Aladdin to enter since he is a Diamond in the Rough. After Abu touches the treasures, they escape from the Cave after the Magic Carpet saves them, and the Tiger God returns to its slumber.
In the remake, the cave has a lion head-shaped stone entrance, rather than a tiger head rising from the sands, and does not move, except when swallowing unwanted visitors.
Gazeem
[edit]Gazeem (voiced by Charlie Adler) is Jafar's criminal minion, who retrieves the other half of the Scarab Medallion, but refuses to hand it over until Jafar gives him his reward. Once they locate the Cave of Wonders, Jafar has him retrieve the lamp from the cave and lets him have the rest of the treasures. However, the Tiger God refuses to allow him to enter, as he is not a "Diamond in the Rough". Despite this, Jafar urges Gazeem to enter the cave and the Tiger God kills him. Having lost his accomplice, Jafar sets out to find another man to enter the cave.
In the Aladdin video game, Gazeem is the first boss fought, dropping half of the Scarab Medallion necessary for Aladdin to enter the Cave of Wonders.
Prince Achmed
[edit]Prince Achmed[17] (voiced by Corey Burton) is one of the potential suitors for Princess Jasmine. After Aladdin and Abu give their stolen bread to a sister and her younger brother, the brother runs out in front of Achmed's horse as Achmed is heading to the palace and she runs after him. After she runs in front of his carriage, Aladdin intervenes and insults Achmed. In retaliation, Achmed shoves Aladdin into a mud puddle and tells him that he is nothing but a "worthless street rat". The next day, he leaves the palace after Rajah attacks him and is no longer interested in Jasmine.
In the 2019 film, Achmed is replaced with Anders (portrayed by Billy Magnussen), the prince of Skånland.[18] His role in the story is assumed by an unnamed castle horseman.
Farouk
[edit]Farouk (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a merchant who runs a fruit stand. When he sees Jasmine giving an apple to a hungry boy without paying, he attempts to cut off her right hand, but Aladdin stops him by claiming that Jasmine is his mentally handicapped sister. Farouk is initially willing to accept this and let them go, but realizes that he has been tricked after seeing that Abu has stolen some of his apples; however, Aladdin and Jasmine leave before he can catch them.
Farouk also appears during "Prince Ali" and in the TV series.
In the 2019 film, Farouk is replaced with the bread vendor Jamal (portrayed by Amir Boutrous). His role in the story is largely the same, but different in that he attempts to remove Jasmine's bracelet instead of cutting her hand off.

The most prominent instance is when they use the feathers of a baby roc to pose as wind demons to rob Agrabah.[20] Other schemes include when they aid Abis in infiltrating the palace with the help of a brainwashed Jasmine,[21] traveling back in time with Abis to change history,[22] and attacking Aladdin for spying on Abis.[23] They often hang out at Skull and Dagger, the cafe headquarters of Agrabah's guild for thieves and criminals.

He is accompanied by his flying eel sidekick Xerxes (voiced by Frank Welker) and an army of undead Mamluks.
He seeks to become the world's most powerful wizard and rule the other six kingdoms of the Seven Deserts. However, because he and his forces lack the power to do so, his schemes usually involve obtaining magic or power.
