There's nothing wrong with Disney making films for all ages. Plus, if Disney made the change you're asking them to do... it won't be Disney anymore. That's like asking the creators of Tellitubbies to make a movie based on Grand Theft Auto... it just doesn't work.
Also Dr Facilier kind of speak the truth to what their futures are
For Naveen:
"HOP from place to place"
"In the future it's the GREEN that I see"
which means he gets turned into a frog and also get money for working in Tiana's Place
And the other guy, Dr Facilier says he'll be the
"man he always wanted to be"
which was probably Naveen working hard and the other guy to never work and have free food and live in a place that he never has to pay to live there, and which Dr Facilier
was right about again, Naveen worked in Tiana's Place and had a Wife (and probably kids) and the other guy went to jail, which gave him free food and everything else he wanted
Personally, I think this is by far the smoothest (and sexiest - I just happen to like fictional guys that matches his description) Disney villian I've seen. Really, he's just awesome!!
The real interesting thing about Dr. Facilier, is that at first sight, he doesn't appear evil or threatening, like most other Disney villains like Jafar, he's actually pretty charismatic and friendly... but once you get into this scene and you see his shadow doing all that screwy stuff, you just know this guy is bad news.
Lawerence reminds me of Cogsworth :) Gotta show love to Eric Goldberg. And Facillier, though not drawn by Andreas Deja(my fave animater), reminds me a great deal of Jafar. That kind of...wicked sophistication lol
XD I know he sure enough hits that MJ move at 0:31!
He's so smooth!!
They said his nimator thought of him as the love child of Captain Hook and Cruella DeVille....but he kinda reminded me more of Jafar personally...*giggles* I didn't animated him though so, *shrugs* Hook + Deville it is! XD
I love Dr. Felicier, he's my favorite villian up to date! =D I never got to see Princess and the Frog because I was spending the night at a friend's house. But, Disney did awesome on this movie. When Im an animator they need a Princess and the Frog 2! Lol.
I just wish that part was a bit extended... a bit longer sequence if you like, cause that part of the song and the scene are so enjoyable that I have to watch it over and over to satisfy myself
If the Princess and the Frog becomes part of Kingdom Hearts, I imagine the changes being that Dr. Facilier's friends on the other side would be Heartless, New Orleans being some sort of HUB place for the area, and Dr. Facilier and his shadow being the main boss.
I was thinking that Facilier makes a deal with the Heartless. In exchange for the power to take over New Orleans and control over an army of Heartless, he will harvest and gather hearts from all the people in New Orleans for them. Facilier though seems like he'd be the type of boss who uses trickery (maybe even illusions) and long range attacks rather than fighting you head on. Maybe even using his shadow like you said. Or it can be like the boss fight with Clayton and the Shadow Sneak from KH1.
Ooooooh! I just saw this today, and it was fantastic!
Dr Facilier's death isn't as painful as Frollo's or Scars, I don't think, but I'd say it's one of the most terrifying, being sucked into a voodoo portal and all.
Nice! Personally, when it comes to Disney, I feel that the villain really pulls the whole movie together, and Dr. Facilier is a sharp-looking man with a silky-smooth voice. I can't wait to see how he influences the movie. Things are looking REALLY good for this film. Plus, the prince is smokin' hot and looks like he's going to be a dynamic character in the story for once. Haven't seen a truly active prince character since the Little Mermaid.
This song is pure brilliance, fitting perfectly to one of the slickest and smoothest villains Disney has ever had. However, in my opinion, Randy Newman should have made it a bit longer since the beginning and the ending of the song are so enjoyable. I love this part of the song where it's smooth and jazzy, then I adore the "are you reaady" part which it only lasts a couple of seconds :(
I wasn't sure about Disney before, but now that they're returning to making the same type of movies they made when we were kids, I am definitely planning on working there as a character designer some day
I wished this song was longer... I loved the beat and the lyrics! I cold have been the best Disney song ever if it was a little bit more lengthy. Good movie by the way! Recommend it to both old and new disney lovers :)
I loved how they returned the old animation in the movie. i saw it and really loved how they done it like in the old way of some of the older disney movies.
Man, this is definitely the movie i've been waiting for for about 5 years! It's good to see that Disney has gone back to good ol' fasioned animation (which is the best!)
when i hear a disney song i sometime s think : "holy crap they most feel like idiots, since they can hear the music, and just starting to sing for no specific reason"
I saw this in theaters, and after this song was over EVERYBODY in the theater was speechless. Than three seconds later somebody behind me said "that was awesome" and everybody went crazy haha
i can tell youone thing right now animation takes alot of time... i mean ALOT you have to have alot of patienceand dedication to that.. but i tell you what disney is known for the best when it comes to animation so i cant wait to see this movie!!!
I wanted to see the movie three times so I could watch Dr. Facillier's choreography, and then his shadow's, and then the reactions of Naveen and Lawrence. ^_^
Hi, I am from Brazil and I'd like to say it is one of the best songs from the disney animations classics. The character Dr. Facilier is great and his animation is perfect.
thanks disney for bringing a great 2D animated movie to us.

Dr Facilier has a weird sense of karma.
Naveen foolishly trusts this shady character and so Facilier punishes him by turning him into a frog.
Lawrence wisely distrusts this shady character and is rewarded with a sexy new body!
