Bruce W. Smith on Drawing Dr. Facilier

[onzlie]

I got a picture with dr. Facilier!!!!! soooo amazing!!!

[Yazstromo]

It's funny because Dr.Facilier was wearing a very Captain Hook looking outfit at the costume party. Such a genius character, and I love that they got Keith David to play him too, he has just the kind of talent needed to deliver Dr. Facilier's lines.

As an aspiring animator myself, this is the kind of artist I look to for guidance.

[ritsfata]

Gotta love this guy's work. He seems like a great guy to work with.

[JediGal101]

"I've seen internet stories..."

...yup, he's right.. xD

[phillyfanmatt]

I LOVE the similarities that he has with Jafar. They are both (in my opinion) the 2 best Disney villains EVER.

[ritsfata]

@phillyfanmatt I actually think that Dr. Facilier is the best disney CHARACTER ever.

[AnimalsInMyHeart]

I think he looks more like Jafar then Captain Hook.

[KatsPeanut]

I suspected Doctor Facilier was a distant ancestor of Michael Jackson. Those dance moves in 'Friends on the Other Side'....

YOU ROCK BRUCE SMITH!

[98fandublover]

this is so funny ! i was laughing throught the whole intre thing :)

[futurestarish]

"What would happen if Cruella DeVil and Captain hook actually.... gott together?"

(hysterical laughter)

"I've seen an internet story about that!"

[turtlescrapz]

@aki you wouldn't understand unless you watched the designing naveen as a frog or drawing ray

[Geniscan]

Dr.Facilier is just the best among Disney villains!

Could anyone please print here what Bruce says in the very beginning (and then all laugh)? You see I'm Russian and it's hard to me to understand some words..

[AkidaxSen]

@Geniscan I think you mean when he says 'I didn't look in the mirror either' he's basically saying that the character looks very cool so he didn't use anything about himself in the character. (joking that he's ugly, or maybe just not quite evil)

[Geniscan]

Oh thanks for help :)

[RandomAbstract09]

lol I laughed my head off when he said "What would happen if- Captain Hook and Cruella DeVil actually....got together?" lol

[Spikesmistress]

CPProductions13 Ditto! I was soo just thinking "Hey, hey MJ take a look down here, you've been...well, even more imortalized, into a kick ass Disney Villian!" lol.

[TheFicwriter1994]

"what if captain hook and cruella deville got together?"

O_O okay that is NOT what I wanna think about when I think Dr. facilier! lol

[winxgirl28]

[smarticalcudcud]

@Chaosmaster8753

[neofeliss]

8O

NO WONDER the Doctor looks like Oscar Proud!! D8

[Chaosmaster8753]

Interesting fact, Bruce W. Smith created The Proud Family.

[FullM3talGamer]

Cool, I used to watch that show after a hard days work.

[Chaosmaster8753]

Does anyone know that Bruce W. Smith is the creator of The Proud Family?

[smarticalcudcud]

@Chaosmaster8753 we get it

[jackdavenportsbaby11]

to me Dr. Facilier is like a mix of Jafar and Oscar Proud lol

[smarticalcudcud]

@jackdavenportsbaby11

who is oscar???

[Zukoluver5]

i'd make a deal with him any day... :P

[smarticalcudcud]

@Zukoluver5

um...

[lasthaven7]

"I've seen internet stories where that happened!"

JESUS, YOU MEAN HE'S READ FANFIC? *dies laughing*

Oh, I love it. Thanks for posting this!

[moradeun]

Dr. Facilier is Cab Calloway - simple.

[TheKimico16]

Doctor Facilier is sexy!!

R.I.P

MJ

[perun1nj]

Lawrence Fishburne + Jafar = Shadowman

[SunshineDucks]

saw this movie for the second time today. i LOVE it!!!

[Perosha]

guys...GUYS. THIS MOVIE WAS F***ING AMAZING.

[Isaia]

Haha Bruce W Smith is great. For some reason, I think Dr Facilier has the most detail and all sorts of variation in his movements out of all the characters in the movie. and lol on the "soultrain" reference. In my case I watch a lot of Korean and Japanese dramas when drawing pictures of asian characters.

[StarfireandSakura]

I will just say that some of the dance moves Dr. Facilier did DID remind me of Michael Jackson. Just goes to show.

[prodigychild1988]

Yeah! I noticed that! Cool that he actually WAS inspired by MJ... thought I was just thinking that...

[CPProductions13]

I know that for sure! Being a Disney Fan and a Michael Jackson fan it's like Disney did a tribute through Dr. Felicier!! =3

[Stephy09sChannel]

mmm....he loks more like a Jafar dude to me, like as far as his skinny body and facial features go. Like his mouth and even his eyes. Oh well lol love his character design.

[gideon0104]

what do you mean,"do not encourage them"? for me 2d is still the best...Lone live pencil animation!!

[SombreGent]

Jafar + Cab Calloway = Dr. Facilier

[Ichigobabe]

no fanfics PLZ! Do not encourage them ;_;

[mothofdoom105]

I can't wait to see this movie!

[Ratseno]

love this movie!

[mai450]

Ita awesome that he thought about Michael Jackson while he was doing this.....Michael would have loved to hear this.....he really liked Disney.

[KaitouSamurai2]

in a way Dr. Facilier can dance like Michael Jackson a little bit in the movie.

[Kukilunestar]

YAY FOR TOMORROW!

[Angeliclily]

8D -squeals!-

[CresseliaandShaymin]

His personality kinda reminds me  of a mix of Scar, Ursula and some bits and pieces of Shere Khan

[Ratseno]

I can't wait for auditions for this character, because It would be a dream and loads of fun for me to play Dr. Facilier. I have a gap just like him and blue contacts....yes, I said blue...if one look really close at the other Disney's previews with Dr. Facilier in it......... he has blue eyes.

[me2wonder]

well the cast is picked out already... unless you mean in a dubbed version? :)

[KiCreativeStudios]

that was very cool.

[robinscute12345]

i can see his chin looks a bit like captain hook's i cant see any of cruella deville in him though haha

[wierdmr]

It might be his sence of fasion. lol

[Lawsuchan21]

@robinscute12345 His cheek bones resemble Cruella's, and his eyes sort of. His smile is kind of smooth and easy- going, reminds of the first time we saw Cruella in 101 Dalmatians when she tried to buy the puppies.

[robinscute12345]

i can see the captain hook chin a bit but no cruella devill in there haha

[Swashbuckler]

More like a mix of Jafar and Ursula XD

[lilcrazy09]

WHOO! I knew i saw some Michael Jackson moves in Friends on the Other Side! XD

[Swashbuckler]

-fangirl squeal - ^^

[cutiebdaygirl]

thats cool! I didnt know that he got the Idea of If Captin Hook and Cruella got hooked up! XD
