The following is a list of characters that appear in Disney's Aladdin franchise, including the 1992 film, its direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar and Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the television series, the live-action adaptation, and other spin-off projects.
Abu
Abu (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is Aladdin's kleptomaniac pet monkey. 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. Abu was created by Disney employee Joe Grant, with animators filming monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study his movements. He is based on the thief of the same name from The Thief of Bagdad.
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.
In the 2019 film, Abu is depicted as a tufted capuchin.
Magic Carpet
The Magic Carpet is a sentient 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 limbs. Though genderless, it is referred to with male pronouns due to the Arabic language using masculine pronouns by default.
Carpet's design was maintained through CGI. 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. 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. Computer artist Tina Price took Cartwright's outlined form and superimposed the Persian design, which could stretch, squash, and roll up without changing. According to film critic Leonard Maltin, this made Carpet's animation one of the best collaborations between traditional and technologically advanced animation to date.
The Sultan
The Sultan is Princess Jasmine's father and the pompous but kind ruler of Agrabah. Some aspects of the character were inspired by the Wizard of Oz, to create a bumbling authority figure.
In the 2019 film, the Sultan's personality is more serious compared to his animated counterpart, but retains the original's kind and benevolent nature. 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. At the end of the film, he steps down from his position as the Sultan and passes it on to Jasmine.
Royal Guards
The Royal Guards serve as law enforcement, patrolling the palace and the streets of Agrabah.
Razoul
Razoul (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the Captain of the Royal Guards of Agrabah in the films and the TV series. He is named for layout supervisor Rasoul Azadani. He dislikes Aladdin because of all the trouble he has caused for the guards, but is loyal to the Sultan and Jasmine and takes his job seriously.
In the 2019 film, Razoul is portrayed by Robby Haynes and has a reduced role as a chief city guard, with most of his role in the story being taken by Hakim.
Fazal
Fazal (voiced by the late Jack Angel in the first film, Frank Welker in the sequels and the TV series, understudied by Jim Cummings in "Sneeze the Day") is a big fat guard and one of Razoul's lieutenants.
Hakim
Hakim (voiced by Patrick Pinney in the first film, Corey Burton in the third film, Frank Welker in the TV series, Jim Cummings in "Sneeze the Day", portrayed by Numan Acar in the live-action film) is a thin guard who is one of Razoul's lieutenants.
In the 2019 film, Hakim is depicted as the head of the guards and Jafar's right-hand man, who worked for the Sultan while playing a similar role to Razoul. He redeems himself by the end of the film.
Nahbi
Nahbi (voiced by Frank Welker in the TV series, Jeff Bennett in the third film) is a short guard who is one of Razoul's lieutenants.
Rajah
Rajah (vocal effects by Frank Welker) is Jasmine's pet Bengal tiger who displays dog and cat-like behavior. Unlike Abu, he is not anthropomorphized, but can understand human language and emotions.
Rajah also appears in Ralph Breaks the Internet.
In the 2019 film, he bonds with Aladdin when he is in his Prince Ali disguise and is later imprisoned along with the guards. After Jafar is defeated, he is present at Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.
The Peddler
The Peddler (voiced by the late Robin Williams; singing voice provided by Bruce Adler) 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. Originally, the Peddler was intended 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.
The Peddler is seen at the end of Aladdin and the King of Thieves singing the epilogue as Aladdin and Jasmine pass him to see Cassim and Iago off.
He also appears in Disney's Aladdin, selling extra lives and wishes to the player, and in the Kingdom Hearts series, where he is voiced by Corey Burton.
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.
