==Origin==

In the ~~original~~ film, Abu is Aladdin's pet monkey and ~~sidekick~~ friend who helps his master steal goods from the market as they are "street-rats" living in the slums of Agrabah. When Aladdin and Abu meet the ~~Blue [[Genie]]~~ of the ~~Lamp~~, Aladdin ~~expresses his first wish~~ to ~~become a prince~~. ~~The Genie~~, in ~~a bid~~ to ~~make~~ Aladdin~~'s first wish come true~~, ~~changes~~ Aladdin ~~into~~ a ~~prince~~ and Abu into several other "vehicles" (a camel, a horse and a car, among others) before finally transforming the monkey into a royal elephant. At the film's climax, he aids Aladdin in the battle against Jafar, briefly fighting [[Iago]] before being transformed into a toy monkey by Jafar in his sorcerer form. Once Jafar is defeated, Abu is reverted to his normal form.

Abu originates from he 1992 film ''Aladdin''. In the film, Abu is Aladdin's pet monkey, partner-in-crime, and best friend who helps his master steal goods from the market as they are "street-rats" living in the slums of Agrabah. When stealing food at the local market, Aladdin meets Princess Jasmine (although he does not know it at the time), and Abu immediately disapproves of his friend's attraction to her, as he thinks it will ruin their friendship. Later, when Aladdin is imprisoned by the guards on the account that he kidnapped Jasmine, Abu, who was not captured, goes to save him by picking the locks on Aladdin's chains. There, they meet Jafar disguised as an old beggar, who persuades the pair to go into the Cave of Wonders to find a magic lamp in exchange of escaping their cell. During their journey, Aladdin and Abu meet the Carpet, and in spite of Abu's protests, Aladdin invites Carpet to join their group. Deeper within the cave, Abu's greed for jewels overwhelmed him and he snatched a large ruby out of a monkey statue's paws (despite of being warned not touch anything in the cave beforehand), causing the cave to collapse.

When Aladdin, Abu, and Carpet try to escape, Jafar reveals himself and tries to stab Aladdin with a knife, but Abu bites his arm to stop him and is then thrown down the cave with his friends. After meeting Genie and breaking out of the cave, Genie transforms Abu into several other "vehicles" (a camel, a horse and a car, among others) before finally transforming the monkey into a royal elephant as part of Aladdin's wish to become a prince. Abu stays in his elephant form throughout most of the film, and Aladdin uses him a mode of transportation at times. At the film's climax, he aids Aladdin in the battle against Jafar, briefly fighting Iago before being transformed into a toy monkey by Jafar in his sorcerer form. Once Jafar is defeated, Abu is reverted to his normal form.
