Source-derived summary

Introduced in Aladdin

Aladdin

Princess Jasmine

Genie

Jafar

Iago

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.
