Amin Damoola, voiced by Jeff Bennett is a fictional character in the Disney television series Aladdin. He is a stupid, clumsy, and annoying thief, who appears in four episodes (counting a cameo in the episode Sneeze the Day). While neither very bright, nor powerful, Amin always finds a way to cause trouble for Aladdin (and usually ends up in trouble himself). Some of these ways are stealing a magical glove, creating a large green dragon, and getting a bunch of magical tools from Mozenrath. In his last episode he was working for Mozenrath, and failed him. Mozenrath didn't take that too well, and it is likely that he possibly turned him into a mamluck (zombie) or killed him ruthlessly. {Possibly Mozenrath used a third choice even worse than these two alternatives-he gave Damoola a deal: succeed and become the greatest thief ever-or rue the day he was born.} However, since Amin makes a fourth appearance in the episode Sneeze the Day, Mozenrath may have forgiven him (or maybe Amin already paid his penalty or escaped Mozenrath's wrath).
His first name (Amin) is common in Arabic, but his last name (Damoola) is a play-on-words referring to his insatiable greed i.e. I'm in da moola (the money). His voice is an impression of Inspector Clouseau (the Peter Sellers version) with a slight Arabian tint.
- He is so incompetent as a thief that he is nicknamed "Butterfingers".
- He is even more of a comic relief than Abis Mal.
