Answer : IAGO
Iago is a fictional supporting character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures’ 31st animated feature film Aladdin (1992), the direct-to-video sequels The Return of Jafar (1994), Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996), and the television series. A red-plumed talking scarlet macaw, he is voiced by American comedian Gilbert Gottfried in the animated canon and by voice actor Alan Tudyk in the live action adaptation of Aladdin.
Iago appeared in the original film as a minion to the main villain Jafar, functioning both as comic relief and the secondary antagonist. He reformed for the better over the franchise’s run in the sequels and television series, joining the protagonists as an antihero and being the main protagonist in The Return of Jafar. His name is a homage to the villain of William Shakespeare’s Othello.
Directors John Musker and Ron Clements came about casting comedian Gilbert Gottfried after watching his stint in the film Beverly Hills Cop II. Animator Will Finn was a self-proclaimed Gilbert Gottfried fan and asked to supervise animation on the character, which the directors allowed. Finn’s redesign of Iago took inspiration from Gottfried; some notable features like Gottfried’s squinty eyes and toothy grin were incorporated into Iago’s character.
