Instead, Cartwright used body language to make Carpet more flexible, and almost human. Animator Randy Cartwright refused to resort to the anthropomorphic style of simply putting a face on a carpet. Advances in CGI had progressed so much since animating the ballroom sequence in Beauty and the Beast, that the texture and pattern of Carpet was much easier to accomplish no matter which way it moved. The unique design of Carpet was solely maintained through CGI. It is playful, as it reacts with Abu, intelligent, as it beats Genie at chess (and most other things), and helpful, as it helps Aladdin romance Princess Jasmine during the song ' A Whole New World.' It sometimes uses its tassels as hands and feet to accentuate its feelings. It is genderless, but is often assumed to be male by Genie and other characters. It is a character without a voice, and expresses itself entirely through pantomime and movements. The Magic Carpet is an ancient carpet that was found by Aladdin in the Cave of Wonders' treasure room. Genderless (referred to with masculine pronouns) In the 2019 film, Abu is featured as a Tufted capuchin. Abu is usually found in the audience, sometimes playing with Iago or dancing along to the musical performances on stage. He can also be seen in House of Mouse as one of the many Disney characters that come to watch cartoons. Ību also appears in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II, playing a large role in the latter with his kleptomaniac habits getting him into trouble during Sora's first return visit to Agrabah. The character is based on the similarly named Abu the thief, played by Sabu Dastagir in the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad. The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have. In Aladdin: The Series, he's a voice of dissent whenever he's dragged along on one of Iago's harebrained schemes, although the two of them go from enemies to close friends over the course of the franchise.

Jafar Ību (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is Aladdin's kleptomaniac monkey with a high-pitched voice. He does fall in love with Dalia.Īfter Williams' death in 2014, a dedicated drawing of the Genie appeared at the end of the first film on television programs. In the 2019 film, the Genie is shown to have his usual blue form and his human disguise.
