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 the 2019 film, Iago will be voiced by Alan Tudyk.Ību is Aladdin's kleptomaniac monkey partner with a high-pitched voice and can talk a little. In animation, including the original film, the parrot is voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. Iago appears frequently as an antagonist in the Sega video game Disney's Aladdin where he is usually to be found flying at a high level, although he is easily dispatched and de-feathered with one blow from a sabre or thrown apple. In all subsequent films and animations, he becomes a loyal if self-centered friend and ally to Aladdin after defecting to his side. At the end of Aladdin when Jafar turns into a genie, he joins his master in his lamp. It is strongly hinted in The Return of Jafar that Jafar himself gave him these gifts.
ALADDIN PHASIR X MIRAGE FULL
Comical and wisecracking, he appears as a sort of villainous counterpart to Aladdin's monkey Abu.Īround company, for the majority of the film, he pretends to be an ordinary pet parrot who makes meaningless shrieks and repeats the tail-end of sentences, but when addressing Jafar by himself and later when Jafar comes to full power, it becomes clear that he has the same comprehension of speech and thought (and cruelty) as most humans.
The red-plumed sentient bird is a possible homage to an identically-named red parrot in the Tintin adventure The Castafiore Emerald, but is more likely named after Shakespeare's Iago, a character well-renowned for his cunning and treachery. As such, they fight, with Mirage intending to cast literally killer spells on Thrax and Thrax intending to use his fire finger to slash the former evil incarnate across the belly and have her die a slow, painful, burning, bleeding, literally sick death.Iago is the sidekick to Jafar. So Mirage knows she has to stop him before she can reunite with Phasir. He informs her that he's thus decided he'll infect different victims in a different universe, starting with her. But here's the problem.she next looks to reunite with her lover, Phasir, but as she goes through a portal made by her magic to meet him, Thrax, the Osmosis Jones virus villain, shows up and he's now a human sized version of himself! See, the way Mirage pulled off what she did caused, unbeknownst to the cat goddess, a warp in reality which both brought Thrax into the Aladdin-Verse and then the portal she's in, and magnified him to human size, along with increasing his power and strength vastly as a result.
ALADDIN PHASIR X MIRAGE SERIES
Does she succeed in this and atoning for past wrongs through a subsequent series of weeks, events and deeds? Yes, although only barely, given what she was like for the time she was evil, of course.
ALADDIN PHASIR X MIRAGE PLUS
Now that she's good once more, Mirage uses her magical powers to reverse every one of her evil deeds and make sure to do so in a way which blinks Morbia out of existence and sees to it all of her past victims know both of her unexpected change and how she was once good, plus what turned her evil(again, whatever it was, we don't know)has been eliminated in full by the sudden, inexplicable emergence of her former good self. Scenario: Mirage, despite being the evil incarnate, was once good and her former self pokes through just enough to turn her into a dark heroine one day, overcoming what made her turn evil(whatever it was).
