 * Jafar's character was heavily influenced by Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. The two characters bear numerous similarities—collected personalities, regal attire including dark robes and staffs, bird sidekicks, and animal transformations. Jafar's supervising animator, Andreas Deja, studied Marc Davis's animation of Maleficent when figuring out how to portray Jafar onscreen.
