1. Iago (Aladdin)

Jafar’s sidekick, he is a loud-mouthed and sassy red macaw that has a blue tail and blue-tipped wings.

With an unhealthy fixation on power and money, he will stop at nothing to help Jafar overthrow the Sultan.

Iago is also quite petty, as a main reason why he wants to usurp the rightful leader is because he doesn’t like the crackers that he’s fed.

It is also rumored that Jafar transferred his emotions into Iago so that he wouldn’t be bothered by them when doing his own plotting.

However, not all is bad with the character, as we see Iago go through a redemption arc during The Return of Jafar, as he ends up saving Aladdin and Jasmine after Aladdin showed kindness to him.

2. Ian the Gator (The Princess and the Frog)

Head of a gang of alligators, the Swamp Gators, he is a sadist who likes meting out punishment to whoever he feels has wronged him.

After an adventure with his brother Barley, Ian realizes that he is wasting too much time worrying about things he can’t control, and becomes more outgoing with a newfound zest for life.
