As an opportunist, Iago cunningly used Aladdin's caring nature to weasel his way back into the palace, though it was the latter's genuine compassion that first sparked a change in Iago's character, as he was shocked, and notably touched by the fact that anyone would actually show care, and treat him with any form of compassion. Even as Jafar's partner, Iago faced abuse and neglect, which would eventually lead to the downfall of their relationship. The film implies that Iago's harsh attitude and villainous actions were partially displayed due to a lack of respect and appreciation over the course of his lifetime. He also seems to hate crackers (which is not what you would normally expect for a parrot), which the Sultan, apparently being completely unaware of Iago's distaste for them, often fed him directly to the mouth, which also acted as the main reason why he aided Jafar in his treacherous ambitions against the Sultan in the first film aside from being too much of a coward to protest against his master's schemes.ĭespite his highly antagonistic nature in the original film, The Return of Jafar shows a different side to Iago one capable of growth and reformation. He also craves for power, as he gave Jafar the idea of marrying Jasmine to become the next Sultan. However, Iago is the more aggressive of the two, as well as the more vocal and easily frustrated unlike Jafar who despite being more ruthless, is also more laid-back and sometimes reasonable. He has a difficult time keeping his comments to himself, lacking a collected demeanor, and can often fall into fits of rage, shouting and ranting on about his annoyances, when things don't go as planned. When first introduced as the loyal follower of Jafar, he appears to be just as evil and cruel as his superior, being snide, greedy, selfish, uncaring, murderous, deceitful, manipulative, traitorous, arrogant and cunning. Iago is amongst the most complex characters to originate from the 1992 Disney animated feature film. I love the way your foul little mind works! the Forces of Evil, and Todd/Hushfluffles in Final Space. ![]() In the 2019 live action remake, he was voiced by Alan Tudyk, who also played Lenny in Ice Age, King Candy in Wreck-It Ralph, Alistair Krei in Big Hero 6, Ben Chapman in 42, the Duke of Weselton in Frozen, Van Wayne in Powerless, Duke Weaselton in Zootopia, Ludo in Star vs. In the musical, he was portrayed by Don Darryl.

Iago then served as one of Aladdin's closest companions alongside Abu, Genie Jasmine, Sultan, and Carpet in traveling the world and defending Agrabah from future threats. Having grown fond of Aladdin, Iago finally betrays Jafar for good and ultimately destroys him, thus truly redeeming himself. He ends up befriending Aladdin after inadvertently saving his life, but then gets involved in Jafar's scheme for revenge after being threatened. He manages to escape, but grew tired of Jafar's abuse and decides to abandon him to go solo. He is Jafar's former pet parrot who served him in his plot to gain the Genie's lamp in order to overthrow the Sultan and her daughter, Jasmine and conquer Agrabah, only to be thwarted alongside his master and sealed within the same lamp by Aladdin and also Abu’s former archenemy.
