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.

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.
[Maltin, Leonard: "Chapter 4: The Rest of the Story", page 296. ''The Disney Films'': 4th Edition, 2000] Computer artist Tina Price took Cartwright's outlined form and superimposed the Persian design, which could stretch, squash, and roll up without changing.

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.

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.

The Peddler
The Peddler (voiced by
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.
In the 2019 film, the Peddler is the human form that Genie assumes after being freed from Aladdin's service.
Tiger God (Cave of Wonders)
The Tiger God (voiced by

Its job is to protect the Genie's lamp and give it to those who are worthy while eliminating those who are not.

Afterwards, it returns to its slumber, causing the Scarab Medallion halves to return to normal, but not before advising Jafar to search for a Diamond in the Rough. Jafar later reawakens the Tiger God, who has brought Aladdin and Abu with him, and allows Aladdin to enter since he is a Diamond in the Rough. After Abu touches a treasure near the lamp, they get trapped in the Cave after the Magic Carpet saves them from the hazards and the Tiger God returns to its slumber.

However, the Tiger God refuses to allow him to enter, as he is not a "Diamond in the Rough". Despite this, Jafar urges Gazeem to enter the cave and the Tiger God kills him. Having lost his accomplice, Jafar sets out to find another man to enter the cave.
In the ''
Aladdin'' video game, Gazeem is the first
boss fought, dropping half of the Scarab Medallion necessary for Aladdin to enter the Cave of Wonders.
Prince Achmed

Corey Burton) is one of the potential suitors for Princess Jasmine. After Aladdin and Abu give their stolen bread to a sister and her younger brother, the brother runs out in front of Achmed's horse as Achmed is heading to the palace and she runs after him.

; singing voice provided by Merwin Foard) is Aladdin's widowed father. Prior to the events of the first film, he left his wife and newborn son in Agrabah to find the legendary Hand of Midas, which could provide a better life for his family. Some time later, he fell in with the Forty Thieves, eventually becoming their leader, the "King of Thieves". In the present, Cassim reunites with Aladdin and gives up the Hand, realizing that it has done more harm then good. Afterward, he is exiled from Agrabah and leaves to travel the world with Iago.
Sa'luk
Sa'luk (voiced by
Jerry Orbach) is the main antagonist of the
third film. He is a member of the 40 Thieves and the right-hand man of Cassim. He battles Aladdin before falling into the water, which he survives and kills a shark while making his way ashore. During the climax, Sa'Luk accidentally touches the Hand of Midas, which transforms him into a gold statue. His primary weapon is a knuckleduster with three gold claws attached.
Forty Thieves
The Forty Thieves are a group of thieves and assassins that are led by Cassim with Sa'luk as his second-in-command. They make their headquarters in Mount Sesame by the sea, which can be accessed by saying "Open Sesame". Cassim has a rule of not harming the innocent, much to the dismay of Sa'luk. Thanks to Sa'luk after surviving his apparent death following his duel with Aladdin, Razoul and the Guards learn how to get into Mount Sesame. 33 of the 40 Thieves were apprehended while 7 avoided capture. Sa'luk lied to the 7 Thieves stating that Cassim had sold them out and persuades them to help him get Cassim back on track in finding the Hand of Midas.

The Vanishing Isle
The Vanishing Isle is a giant
sea turtle with a marble fortress on its back where the Hand of Midas is hidden. It periodically rises to the surface before diving back underwater.
After the Oracle guides a captured Cassim, Sa'luk, and the remaining seven of the Forty Thieves to where it will emerge, the turtle surfaces from underneath them and they search for the Hand, but are ambushed by Aladdin and his friends. As they locate the Hand, the turtle prepares to dive and they flee to where the Hand is. Following a confrontation with Sa'luk, they escape the island with their friends as it disappears.
