<P> Abu is Aladdin 's kleptomaniac monkey partner with a high - pitched voice and can talk a little , voiced by Frank Welker . The animators filmed monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo to study the movements Abu would have . The character is based on the similarly named Abu the thief , played by Sabu Dastagir in the 1940 version of The Thief of Bagdad . </P>
