ALADDIN MAGIC CARPET RIDE FREE
He manages to free himself in time to save Aladdin and Abu as Jafar throws them back into the cave. Carpet then flies from the massive lava floods trying to help them escape - of course intending to escape with them - but is pinned by a falling boulder.

Aladdin nearly falls into the lava, but Carpet catches him in time then flies to Abu for Aladdin to pull him off a rock before it bursted into lava and help him onto him. When Abu grabs the jewel it melts into lava along with the idol, the cave starts to collapse, and fill itself with lava and flames.

As Aladdin goes to fetch the lamp, Carpet realizes that Abu is trying to steal the last temptation treasure of the Cave - a gigantic ruby in the hands of a large ape-like idol and tries to pull him away from it, but fails. At first, Abu is angry at Carpet and doesn't want him to come, but Aladdin calms him down and asks Carpet for his help.Ĭarpet leads Aladdin and Abu through many twisting caves, and it is implied that Aladdin might never have found his way to the lamp without Carpet's guidance. Carpet teases Abu, who is scared and forces Aladdin to look. In return, Aladdin has said to trust him with his life (in Aladdin and the King of Thieves).Ĭarpet first meets Aladdin and Abu in the Cave of Wonders while they are looking for the Genie's lamp. In the end, he has been shown to have a strong bond with Aladdin, not only saving Aladdin's life on multiple occasions, but also doing favors for him such as helping Aladdin and Jasmine fall in love, despite his distaste for Aladdin's lies. Also, unlike Genie, he doesn't take losing seriously. On top of his intelligence, he is very compassionate, but occasionally lets his kindness speak over his common sense. He is usually the one that figures out what's going on before anyone else, though he has trouble expressing it to Aladdin and his friends due to his lack of ability to speak or make any sounds. He also seems to be very intelligent, as well as perceptive, more so than most other characters. Over the course of the series, he has shown to possess an almost human level of intelligence, such as being shy, heroic, romantic, and unquestionably loyal. One thing he does not enjoy is how Aladdin would not tell the truth about him truly being a street urchin, which was the only time he showed any annoyance towards Aladdin. He happily joins Aladdin on his magical adventure to win the heart of Jasmine. Aladdin had to coax him out of hiding, and soon, he quickly befriended Aladdin and risks his own life to save him.

Because he was not part of the original forbidden treasures of the cave, his physical interaction with Abu did not provoke the cave's guardian. Carpet and his siblings went their own separate ways, with Carpet finding his way into the Cave of Wonders and becoming trapped in its treasure room. On the day of his death he commanded his creation to go out into the world and find masters for them to serve. 2.6 Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your DreamsĬarpet was created a thousand years ago by the legendary sorcerer and carpet weaver Khuriya who created one-hundred Magic Carpets each with their own unique patterns and colors.
