The Princess and the Frog Blindsides the box office, Keith David and Jennifer Lewis

[Iheartdolls4ever]

he said "jalapena" have heard that since gargoyles

[1mnmfan]

jennifer lewis was funny on the fresh prince of bel air!

[MyRayrayhercules]

I love how intelectual they get into this movie.

[TheRadical42]

Wow! I know James Earl Jones is known for his Super Voice (Darth Vadar and Mufasa, to name a few) but Mister Keith David could give him a run for his money.

-And I'm not sure if James Earl Jones has ever sung like Doctor Facilier did. (Friends on the Other Side - A great villain song.)

[msscott73]

@TheRadical42 Did you see Disney's Gargoyles? Keith David voiced one of the lead character Goliath.

[TheRadical42]

@msscott73 Kewl Beanz! I didn't know that. I did watch Gargoyles and liked it but all I knew at the time was the Star Trek: The Next Generation guys. William Riker and Deanna Troi did voices. (Yeah! Trek and Disney, two of my favorite bits.) Thanks for the info!

[collgoff]

The Trubbles of black and white days are over.



[MrCrimsoneyedprince]

Why the hell did it take this DAMN long for disney to make a black princess? The characters in this move are soooooo compelling and they are full of personality, but i think that they are highly under appreciated. THANKS ALOT DISNEY!

[EdugeBDroN]

I love this evangeline song . I get my babies to bed with it

[tdogg4575]

Keith David has an awesome voice best villain ever

[The7legacy]

@tdogg4575

Kirby.

[MegatronTarantulas]

cool interview

[victordeario]

Being a fan of Gargoyles and keith David's amazing voice my heart jumped when he jalapena :)

[xxgardner715xx]

I <3 Mama Odie

[yamiyugifangirl]

Hi Goliath, nice to hear your voice again after Gargoyles :D

[Ozzman500]

@yamiyugifangirl, I know what you mean. Whenever I hear Keith David speak, thoughts of the Manhattan clan and the show's medieval era flashbacks come to mind. I, like other fans hope that the Season 2 Volume 2 DVD set will one day be released.

[yamiyugifangirl]

@Ozzman500: They never got the second season out? o.o dang they sure are taking their time

[Ozzman500]

@yamiyugifangirl Disney never released the second half of the second season. The first half of season was released but apparently didn't sell well enough.

[yamiyugifangirl]

@Ozzman500: yikes o.o

[Yamo314159]

American royalty? I love the movie, but I think it's ridiculous for people to talk about Amercian royalty. This country has no room for royalty. We are a nation of equals. What a dumb comment Jennifer Lewis made.!

[javenetti]

@Yamo314159 being royal doesn't mean having a crown or that your blood is any better than anybody else. royalty can mean how much your family is worth, or it could even mean how good a person is. even back when the world still used kings and queens, royalty wasn't just a king and a queen. bottom line, royalty isn't a person, it's a role, a role of importance.

[MegatronTarantulas]

@Yamo314159 the president and his family may not be called king and queen and princesses, but they differ in no important way. you and I are not equal to the president. he has power that we don't have. that's just the way of the world. we've all got to have a leader.

[BigDodonga]

Damn! Keith David is such a smooth cat!

[mikedrummonds]

"Is it the frank or the beans?" Personal favorite Keith David quote.

[dryce]

chaos god of discord, arbiter, Dr. facilier. what else?

[Banminator]

@dryce he's in mass effect too :P

[damusique678]

aint much of an interviewer but thankfully jenifer and keith held it down and together :)

[narutofangrl]

I love his voice.

[itchypigie]

i think this is the 1st movie where i did not totally Hate a character. even the bad guy was awesome!! (although i hated it when he killed Ray. i hated that part)

[ChocolateSaiyan]

Oh god his voice! He could talk to me all night long...

[makemyownpath]

That man speaking, I'll google his name later, would make a great mentor.

[Astrithor]

@makemyownpath keith david

[DisneyFanatic2364]

This was the best new Disney film I've seen since Mulan. It's humorous and has a lot of heart.  All the characters are fun, even the villain. I mean the villains, you got to love to hate them.

[SgtGuNshot]

@DisneyFanatic2364 I can't just love to love them? 

[Hisfatfat]

This movie is just a spinoff of the old school princess and the frog with a black princess. I dont c anything wrong with it they did they're research. The charcters are amazing I love the white girl (funny as hell), Ray was a rider, Lois was a sweet croc wit a dream and Naveen was a spoiled brat dat realized love was betta den money dey combined New Orleans history with the princes and the frog original so kudos to the writers!!

[MrSENORLOS]

The makers of this movie are really in on the occult to much voodoo i say its diabolical

[SangaxOfxThexThunder]

@MrSENORLOS What is it with everyone acting like everything with magic involved is evil? It's "The Princess and the Frog" not "The Animated Guide To the Necronomicon" they don't tell you how to summon demons and shit AND they show you that voodoo is bad and has dire cosequences, and that's asuming it's real. and yes, I'm aware the Necronomicon has nothing to do with voodoo, but I don't thimk books about voodoo even exist, so I used that instead

[RagnaroekChaos]

Wait, they still have that race issue in America?

[wolf762able]

@RagnaroekChaos we still do have a huge race issue pretty much white people hate everyone and a lot of people down south hate black people

[tydydpony93]

@wolf762able lol i think not. Black people hate on white people as much as white people hate on black people nowadays.... and the remark about the south hating on black people is offensive to me because i live in the south and i see more racial discrimination up north everytime i go to visit my cousins than i do down here...

[DrewKingery11]

i wish i had Keith Davids voice, its so awesome and powerfull. I also would like Patrick Stewarts, James Earl Jones or Morgan Freemans voice.

[eddievaliant1]

Keith David sounds very sexy

[YupperDoodelz]

Goliath! Keith David is so bad ass

[pennyjpie]

This is one of my favorite Disney movies now. I've been looking for one to catch me for years and this one did it. Aladdin, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, they were all so beautiful...But this movie is the one out of all of them I can relate to them most. Good job, Disney. I think your steak of bad movies (from 2004-2009) just might be over.

[hangovers]

Keith david is amazing.

[Fufuvideo]

I can relate so much to Tiana...also dreaming of owning my own restaurant and kissing...many frogs, before finding that one frog that turns out to be a prince... Every character in this movie touched a part of me that no other Disney film has. I love this movie...Tiana is African-American, I'm Filipina, but I can definatelly see myself in her.

[Shychick52]

This movie did HORRIBLE at the BO. Ten weeks just to get up to a hundred-million? DAMN.

[kellyilla]

@Shychick52 Over 300,000 worldwide plus merchandise, etc and stiil counting...sounds pretty good to me!

[phenomenaltre1920]

Wonderful Interview about the essence of love! And the movie, I thoroughly enjoyed!

[ImmoralSpawn]

i minght watch it then

[90mv]

Lovely film, we need a new chain of disney classics

[fel713]

great movie ... and what a great villain you brought us Keith! :)

[tinyrebellion]

the characters in this film are all great! even the spoiled brat Charlotte has a big heart

[Fufuvideo]

@tinyrebellion Charlotte was a great character I think because she could have anything she ever wants...and then some, but she was pure of heart, not greedy and jealous--which are what most spoiled brats are...(can relate)...Drizella and Anastasia should learn from her! hahahah!!!

[mermaidlink]

@tinyrebellion ........It's true Charlotte's voce is so annoying but she is a good girl

[Akuchan7]

Why is Jennifer Lewis's face so perfect? She almost looks like the picture of Tiana behind her!

[elmando5]

Jenifer and Keith remind me of people in my family. They have such gracious ways in talking to other people.

[StrongGlad999]

Very interesting. there is a great contrast in their characters (Shadows and Sunshine) where as in real life their both Fantastic African-American Actors.

Thanks for sharing!

[DaSurreal1da]

Go Kieth David, I 've been a fan since Gargoyles and Spawn the animated series. Hell of an actor as well, I'm glad to still see him in movies.

[ekf501]

OH MY GOSH! That's where I've heard his voice before! Gargoyles! He was Goliath! Thank you so much!

[yasa8]

I am obsessed with this film. Really. i've watched it 4 times. I feel that it's messages touch adults even more then children.

[Rubberman202]

Keith David is awesome, and so is Jennifer Lewis! Dr. Facilier and Mama Odie were great characters!

[kunoichi24]

such a good song

[candaceNerykah]

i love mama odie shes funny!!!!

[SugaryyyySpice]

Loved it!

[nubianqueen04]

Loved this movie! Took my 3 daughters and sister and six other friends! Beautiful!

Waited my whole life for this movie and it is a wonderful time to be alive!

[queenesther09]

Maybe this isn't quite up there with the classics, but from what I've heard, it's doing extremely well. It's made about 66 million so far, and who knows? Maybe one day, it will be called a classic too.

[wingedsonar]

I didn't like it when Disney gave in to cultural pressures and changed Maddy's (who doesn't love "Madeline"? It's pretty and relateable) name to Tiana, but I'm glad they kept her family roots. You can really relate to her at the beginning as a believable and strong character and follow her in this fun pretty movie because of that.

And here's to traditional animation! You got it, Disney!

[Viperboy519]

were is the part where she says if u could be any animal wat could u be and jennifer lewis says a black jaguar, im lookin for it everywhere its my favorite part plz help

[SirTimothyMarton]

This movie was brilliant and I agree its great to have a black princess too it was about time that Disney reached out. and yes i think this is going to be one of the greatest Disney classics like for instance Lion King that story was told greatly too

[sparle222]

@SirTimothyMarton

beautifully said

[akaziaj]

Both are outstanding veteran actors. Congrats to both on their professional and personal achievements.

[fredjerk69]

keith did you shave your hair.

[kelperhelper09]

Jennifer Looks flawless cant wait to see this movie Blessings to you Ms Lewis I am thrilled to hear you found Love for the holidays!

[JonT2384]

Kieth David is great, what a powerful moving voice.

[twilightty]

HE SAID JALAPENA!!!

[college87]
