The Peddler is a very small man with tanned skin, a thin, black goatee, and a rectangular mustache with a triangular gap at his [[wikipedia:Philtum|philtum]]. His clothing is quite simple, consisting of a sky blue robe that reaches the floor, a faded red sash tied around his waist, and brown sandals. The most noticeable aspect of the Peddler's outfit is his ridiculously large, white turban, which is twice as big around as his own head. | The Peddler is a very small man with tanned skin, a thin, black goatee, and a rectangular mustache with a triangular gap at his [[wikipedia:Philtum|philtum]].

==Origin== | |||
The Peddler first appears in the opening of ''Aladdin'', attempting to sell the viewer various pieces of junk before pulling out the magic lamp. To convince the viewer that the lamp is really magical, he tells them a story of its abilities, which is the story of ''Aladdin''. | |||
At one point in the production of ''Aladdin'', the Peddler was going to both open and close the movie, and, at the end, reveal himself to be the Genie in disguise. This was dropped for the final film. | |||

*It is interesting to note that in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the storyline of Agrabah is based mainly on ''The Return of Jafar'', although it is not the Peddler who finds and releases Jafar, but a clumsy bandit named Abis Mal who, despite his incompetence, eventually becomes one of Aladdin's greatest foes. | *It is interesting to note that in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the storyline of Agrabah is based mainly on ''The Return of Jafar'', although it is not the Peddler who finds and releases Jafar, but a clumsy bandit named Abis Mal who, despite his incompetence, eventually becomes one of Aladdin's greatest foes. | ||
