I've seen that Disney's Aladdin was voiced by Scott Weigner, but it isn't here. Is it a German name like Wagner? What's its pronunciation?

It's actually "Weinger," which I imagine would be pronounced something like "WINE-ger" in English.
Here's what Ancestry.com has to say:
"Jewish (Ashkenazic): of uncertain origin, perhaps an altered form of Weingart (see Weingarten)."

If it's German, it's Weigner as you can see at tinyurl.com/y8w6ovaw. Weinger is a Jewish name and there's nobody listed by that name in Germany at the present time.
