Roger Ebert's Review of "Aladdin" (1992)
Walt Disney's "The Little Mermaid"

Walt Disney Character beschrijving of Iago from "Aladdin" (1992)
Jafar's sidekick is an irascible parrot, who - unusually for the birds - has teeth, and a lot of them at that. Hilariously voiced door Gilbert Gottfried at a general level of about one hundred decibles, Iago is as malicious as his master (although his character changed for The Return of Jafar). As is customary in the animated features, he is constantly being subjected to indignities door the one he serves - at one memorable stage he is deliberately trapped door Jafar in a sliding door - yet in this instance the slave is wiser than the master, for it is Iago who has the idea that Jafar's tactic to attain the sultanate should be through marrying Jasmine.
The scheming vizier Jafar with his constant companion Iago.
Prince Charming
John Grant
Walt Disney Character beschrijving of Prince Charming from "Cinderella" (1950)
door contrast with Cinderella, Prince Charming is a rather anonymous character - much like the Prince in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, for example. His role is purely to be a handsome and high-born spouse, marriage to whom will raise Cinderella from her life of unjust drudgery. Even his insistence that he will marry no other than the beautiful girl with whom he danced at the ball is rendered to us at seconde hand, in a hilarious interview between the King and the Grand Duke. It was not until much later, in 1959's Sleping Beauty, that Disney was able to bring us a handsome fairy-tale prince capable of being meer than a symbol.
