Voiced by: Unknown

A trio of girls that live in some type of massage parlor with a manager. They know Aladdin when he's a street rat but they don't sympathize with his plight. When Aladdin shows up in town as Prince Ali, they swoon over him and are very impressed with him as he is presented by Genie.


  • Bedlah Babe: These sexy girls are dressed almost the same as Jasmine, who is a princess, with a veil added.
  • The Bus Came Back: They return in Aladdin and the King of Thieves to serve as flower girls for Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.
  • Color-Coded Characters: The Harem Girls are differentiated by their hair styles and color of their outfits. They are also known as Fuschia Girl, Red Girl, And Lavender Girl. Though in the “Prince Ali” segment, two of them have their colors switched.
  • Fangirl: While they dismiss Aladdin, they fawn over his guise as Prince Ali.
  • Fanservice Extra: Their role in the movie during the song "One Jump Ahead" and in "Prince Ali". They also appear in the beginning of the third film being invited as guests.
  • Loves My Alter Ego: Downplayed. They don't sympathize with Aladdin being a Justified Criminal and are quite dismissive of him. When he returns as Prince Ali, they all swoon over him.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Well they are sexy harem girls after all. In the "One Jump Ahead" song, as they sing "Oh, it's sad; Aladdin's hit the bottom", the fuschia girl very clearly shoves her ass into Aladdin while the lavender girl shakes hers with her back to the camera.
  • No Name Given: Their names are never revealed. Some fans call them "Balcony Girls".

    The Peddler

The narrator of the story.


  • Adapted Out: In the Broadway show, he doesn’t appear. The Genie introduces the show instead.
  • Ambiguously Human: He's got a more caricatured look than the other human characters, and his Four-Fingered Hands only make things even more unclear.
  • Bookends: He's the one who begins the series by telling the tale of Aladdin and closes it out by wishing Aladdin and Jasmine best wishes after they're married in the third film.
  • Camera Abuse: You think that camera got close enough to his face?
  • Forgotten Framing Device: Seemingly played straight at the end of the first film, before he finally returned at the end of the third one, with it revealed that he was recanting the tale during Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.
  • Four-Fingered Hands: He has four fingers. It's one of several hints about his true identity, but it's not explicitly shown in the final cut. But guess who did the voice of the merchant?note 
  • Honest John's Dealership: He comes across as a sleazy salesman who would sell his grandmother for a good price.
  • No Fourth Wall: He's speaking directly to us. He also gets his face flattened against it.
  • No Name Given: Just like the Genie, his name goes unmentioned.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Williams clearly does his damnedest to give this guy a unique voice to not sound too much like the Genie, but you can still tell it's his voice, particularly when he says "come on down."
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Is only seen at the beginning of the movie in this form, but provides explanations for the lamp and sets up for the story.

    The Cave of Wonders

Voiced by: Frank Welker Other voice actors

"Who disturbs my slumber?"

The entrance to the Cave of Wonders, who judges who may enter and claim the lamp.


  • 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The Cave's entrance is done in CGI, unlike the rest of the hand-drawn characters.
  • All There in the Script: In the script, the entrance is called the "Tiger God".
  • Buried Alive: Its response to someone touching the forbidden treasure is to collapse on top of them.
    "Now you will never again see the light OF DAY!"
  • Cave Mouth: Entering the cave means walking into the mouth of a giant tiger. The glow coming from its throat makes the prospect even more intimidating.
  • Fashionable Asymmetry: The tiger head's left ear is pierced, but not its right.
  • Genius Loci: The entrance to the Cave of Wonders is alive, able to speak to anyone outside or within the Cave itself.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: The tiger eyes glow a pure white when laying down the law of the supernatural cave.
  • I Warned You: It is very clear about its one rule, "touch nothing but the lamp". Those who don't listen get buried alive or burned in lava.
  • Kill It with Fire: When Abu touches the forbidden treasure, the innermost chamber of the Cave of Wonders fills with fire and magma to try and kill them.
  • MacGuffin Guardian: The Cave of Wonders guards the Lamp until someone worthy can claim it. It will kill any unworthy person who tries to enter, and will even try to kill the Diamond in the Rough if they break the rule of not touching the forbidden treasure.
  • Only the Worthy May Pass: Only a "diamond in the rough", one whose worth lies far within, may enter the Cave of Wonders. The entrance will kill any unworthy person who tries to enter. In addition, those whom it does let in are given one hard rule: They may only take the Genie's Lamp. If they so much as touch any of the other many, many treasures within, it will bury them alive.
  • Panthera Awesome: The entrance to the Cave of Wonders takes the shape of a tiger's head.
  • Throat Light: The Cave is lit from within. The light pours out of the tiger's mouth at night, illuminating whoever's in front of it.
  • Treasure Room: The Cave of Wonders is filled with piles of gold and jewels as tall as buildings. However, Aladdin is explicitly told to touch nothing but the lamp. Abu giving into temptation and touching the forbidden treasure causes the Cave to try and kill them.
  • Uncatty Resemblance: It bears a striking likeness to Genie, whose lamp it's the guardian of. Both being bluenote , with golden earrings, and Glowing Eyes of Doom.
