Iago (Arabic: ياغو) is a fictional character in Disney's Aladdin franchise, starting out as a secondary antagonist and comic relief of the first film, and later supporting protagonist of the film's sequels and TV series. He is nominally part of a royal menagerie in fictional Arabian city, Agrabah. Iago is voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
Iago's animator Will Finn tried to incorporate some aspects of Gottfried's appearance into Iago's design, specially his semi-closed eyes and the always-appearing teeth.
Gilbert Gottfried has said that his voiceover career really began after voicing the character in the 1992 film. “... that has been one of those things that lives on,” he said. “That seemed to open the door for other voiceover jobs.”
Gottfried's unique onstage persona led to him being cast as the wise-cracking Iago. Gottfried is often referred to as "the Iago guy" and similar terms, being more known by his voice role than by name.
Iago resembles a Scarlet macaw. He can speak fluent English and has the ability to perfectly mimic other characters' voices. He also possesses knowledge of various tricks learned from Jafar. He is easily frustrated and openly vocalizes his frustrations, and avoids direct confrontations if he can help it, but when required, he can be quite cunning and mischievous.

Plot: The Shakespeare academics in 'Othello: A Critical Guide' are Professor Stanley Wells and Dr Russell Jackson of the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon. They address, among others, the following questions: What are the motives of Iago, and is his evil as complete as most commentators suggest? What are the roots of Victorian objections to the interracial relationship between Othello and Desdemona? How much evidence of racism is there within Shakespeare's characterization of Othello? Is Desdemona simply a victim or is she in some way responsible for her own downfall? How far is Othello a victim, ruled by emotion rather than logic? What is the conflict between Othello's identity as a Christian commander of the Venetian force and as a social and racial outsider?
