The Princess and the Frog: Aren't you tired of living on the margins? Dr Facilier and Lawrence

- This is my favourite moment from the new Disney movie The princess and the frog.
Dr Facilier is now one of my favourite Disney villains!!
Note: I came up with the title name on my own.
But I do not own this
"You and I both know the real power in this world isn't magic - it's money!"
Oh, the irony... XD
But it will invite inflation
ain't*
Buckets of it
Its the Moneh. And some Faith
Current Disney be like that.
I love how this slightly hints at Facilier's past.
When he says "Aren't you tired of living on the margins? While all those fat cats in their fancy cars don't give you so much as a sideways glance?", he says it with such disgust and it implies that he's gone through that and likely far more in the past, which is what drove him to Voodoo in the first place. I would love a prequel story to see how Facilier ended up like he did.
AzureRoxe I would fuckijg love a prequel movie on dr facilier in fact if Disney wants to make a hit I think they better write this down and get started with a prequel!
I would love to see that movie.
Oh yeah, there's definitely something in Facilier's backstory worth making a prequel story about. Seeing how he got to where he was in the movie would be very interesting.
Actually I read a fanfiction called "I got Friends On The Other Side" and it actually explains Facilier's backstory and how he got into voodoo
@DAIYAN FARREL KEIGO HARTONO Yeah I know, I was just saying
Anyone else notice that when Facilier was talking about how the rich don't even give you a sideways glance, he looked so angry. He wasn't just talking to Laurence he was talking to himself too. That sort of thing happened to him before, which is why he helped Laurence and tried to convince Tiana. He knew what it was like to come from a poor background or to be pushed around.
I do agree with him probably wanting to get back at the upper-class, but there are a couple other points I can see. When he says to Lawrence that magic isn't real power, it's money, I imagine him lying through his teeth- of course magic is the real power! He's just using money as an excuse to get back at the rich families that kicked him to the curb when he was younger. He's obviously very charismatic and silver-tongued, seeing as he can convince Lawrence of both taking part in his scheme and keeping him from backing out halfway through. TL;DR- He's basically the best part of this entire movie.
Nick Oakley In the movie if you think about it he never lies, even when he makes the bargain with Naveen
JorDAMN True that, he was pretty ambiguous with his words. He's charismatic, a sly talker, can manipulate situations to his advantage and has the stones to temporarily sway a group of dark otherworldly beings to his way of thinking... maybe instead of voodoo he should've become a lawyer.
Venom0027 cept in that time period, racism was still one of those...leggally accepted things.
with the whole "bathroom for colored people" thing. IF you keep the time
the setting is new orleans 1912...Marthur luther king was born in 1929.
those 2 dates ALONE give you context enough.
+k pex One of the many things I like about this movie is that Facilier and Tiana aren't so different. They both didn't grow up rich, but Tiana worked hard every day and focused on what's important, while Facilier chose a darker path to get what he wanted.
I love how he just says "Fun fact about voodoo, Larry;" sounding so damn pissed at Larry like "You little shit, you nearly brought me into hell right now, fuck off"
Lmao
He will be eating those words later and then he will vomit it right out while standing b4 the council of hell.
I'd actually love to know where the Loa dragged him to. Cuz it wasn't hell, since Loa aren't demons nor does voodoo have any connection to Christianity. Or maybe they just flat out killed him, idk.
@@purefandom3659 or are him
Frollo: Well hello, what happened to you?
Great acting here, just great. You really feel the "OH SHIT!!!!!!!!" moment that Facilier has when the amulet almost hits the floor.
Foreshadowing!
CJCroen1393 heh fore *shadowing*
@@douglasmcgeemcgee2856
“IN FACT I GOT LOTS MORE PLANS!”
You can tell it's great voice acting because at first you realize that amulet is important, but he sounds overwhelmingly angry.
Then you realize the stakes, and when the amulet breaks you realize that he wasn't angry, he was overwhelmingly fearful.
It's just beautiful.
Also, I like the subtle foreshadowing to the good doctor's ultimate fate.
"ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THIS, I'M GONNA BE..."
It sounds like a threat towards Lawrence, but then at the end, we see that he was most likely _terrified for his own safety_.
CJCroen1393 probably not, maybe its just panic
"Fun fact about voodoo, Larry. Can't conjure a thing for myself."
Yeah, the scene wants you to think he was going to say "I'm gonna be so pissed" but he was likely to say some varient of "I'm gonna be so fucked."
That fuckin slick little '60/40 like I said', jesus Disney studios were on fuckin' point with Facilier
James McDough His voice actor nailed the part so well! Keith David, I think is his name?
Yep, Keith David is probably my favorite voice actor. He's exceptional in everything he's in
TRAITOR! And I made him the vice president...
Don't say that
No god but Allah
Islam way for peace and the real monotheism

You know, he's the villain, yet he's oozing more personality and charisma than the entire cast
3 years have passed
A good movie is held on the back of it's villain. If you have a weak villain, the rest of the flaws drag the story down. But if you have a strong villain, they can carry the movie themselves.
He’s barely in the movie
I love this scene so much. Both characters are written and acted perfectly, and Lawrence is so underrated, his accent is amazing. I could listen to it all day.
This voodoo MEAUDNUSS
Emidretrauqe MEADNUZ
Most of us wish we were Naveen. Most of us are like Lawrence
I feel that Dr. Facilier was a good villain, but sorely underused by the film.
He's one of those villains I wanted to win, just to see what would happen when he did.
But, that may just be me.
Mr. Scratch
Like Ratigan?
1krani Nah. Kinda got an idea of how Ratigan was. Didn't see any interesting future from his win.
Mr. Scratch Belive me your not the only one hands down he was the most creative character in the film not to mention any disney film for that matter i loved the fact he used his shadow as a weapon tool and just cool effect he should honestly have his own cartoon... i sure as hell would watch it
Mr. Scratch .0
Another great detail is when he says, "Can't conjure a thing up for myself." That's a really interesting catch to his magic.
That is an interesting catch to the voodoo magic. He can't use it for himself, so he needs others to do his dirty work. Oh, brain blast! He doesn't have others do it out of evilness, he has others do his dirty work because he can't do it himself. Oh, that's cool.
@@l3g0b0y6 Fits into his plan quite well.
-Lure a prince and his servant into a twisted deal
-Get the prince trapped and the servant guilted into attempting a better life so he can marry the princess
-Murder Mr. La Bouff to not only get a portion of the family fortune but also add the family inheritance and insurance
-Split all that money with Lawrence down the middle (60:40, like he said) so that he can pull more strings from the shadows
-Use those strings to lure more souls to his shady dealings, and pay off his debts through letting the Loa feast.
He used voodoo to get himself power and fortune in a niche area, but in order to pay off his debts, he had to make a very huge scheme. When you get something from Voodoo, the Loa expect to be repaid. Makes you wonder just how deep he got himself in debt. It's of no surprise that they claimed his soul, but how much debt he accrued may remain a mystery.
Well, if Maleficent could get a movie, there's hope for this guy.
But only if Keith David plays him.
*****
Amen to that. Now if they did, which i'm guessing won't be for long while (their doing Cinderella next) should they have Keith play him live action or animated. animated, he could get away with cause he has that awesome voice and the animators can make him as charismatic and lively as ever. live action... that'll be different
TheInfernityZero Well, there is a Fimfiction story when Dr. Facilier helps out Maleficent.
@@logancaldwell7813 really? Can you give me the link? I'd like to check it out!
Banoffee De Fairikaik Okay, it's called My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Halloween Havoc
I actually feel bad for Lawrence. You remember in "Friends on the Other Side" they explain his background? He's had a pretty shitty life. And working under Naveen, a clumsy prince with NO MONEY to pay him, just makes his days worse. It's no surprise that he would want to be treated better and get paid - I mean, isn't that what we all want? Respect and money? He was just a normal guy who got into the wrong place at the wrong time.
i like lawrence, too!! he's much more human than the spoiled palyboy naveen
And every single day, he had to work hard for that irresponsible little chomp who humiliated him while having fun.
SPOILER
There should have been a better ending for Lawrence. He should have been pardonned by Naveen and have another chance. At least.
@@superlulu5994 Right? Poor Lawrence. If only he had a better crowd to make a deal with. Moral of the story? Never make deals with the devil. Especially his right hand man.
Lawrence violated the social order and must be punished!! Him and Scar can talk about it
@@jimmynyarlathotep6857 Lawrence is more like the hyenas than Scar. He didn't even want to talk to the doctor, he was literally pushed in his voodoo room and when he was offered money and power he accepted it.
Dr Facilier is without a doubt the smartest Disney villain ever. He knows how to tempt his victims. He tricked Naveen into a deal, convinced Lawrence to stick with his role, and almost made Tiana give up the charm.
He’s defiantly the most charming and slickest but there are some that are literal Geniuses. Facilier was defiantly an amazing villain and had some smart plans.
@@Roloki454 He's definitely nothing if not charismatic
Only one that gives him a run for his money is Ursula.
The bit with Tiana was incredibly slick. He sprung that at pretty much the last possible minute, and even had a backup plan with his shadow in case the temptation didn’t work out. Dude knows how to cover his bases.
"Mm hmm right down the middle, 60 40 like I said"
Lol XD

Cool, I've been listening maybe 3/4ths of a year. Idk, I think they're definitely the best band of this generation.
What I love about Facilier is how much style he has. Having the voice of Keith David also helps.
Keith is awesome
Yes Keith David Did An Outstanding Voice Of Facilier
Man I wish they'd shown more of Facilier's history in the film, or at least mentioned it a little more. Lawrence's past is pretty well explained, but I'd love to see what made Facilier so bitter/how he got involved with all the voodoo and such. He just kinda shows up as a nasty character right from the start, and while it works for the movie I just wish they'd elaborated more on his motives x-x
Maybe it's in the family business (on his mothers side lol)
It's implied that Dr. Facilier grew up poor and bitter, jealous of the rich upper class. Maybe he got into voodoo in order to make money and gain power. At least, that's what I guessed.
I can see that
+Computernurd The way I understand it is that Voodoo is passed down generation to generation. Given the fact that he's Creole, I would assume one of if not both of his parents practiced Voodoo and raised him to do the same. Voodoo is a cultural religion from West Africa and Haiti, which is why many Creoles in New Orleans practice it given their African ancestry. So that would explain why he practices Voodoo. What needs to be explained would be why he's so sadistic. But that's something Disney usually answers in books.
+Gator Jeaux
Apparently, he was going to have been Mama Odie's son, and there would've been a big magic battle between them during the Mardi Gras festival.
"60/40 like I said." lol
Favor penny wise , could you ya know bring back Eddie 🥺
I love that for a villain who can make some pretty goofy faces, Facilier stills comes off as both intimidating and charming. The man has a silver tongue and he knows it. Doesn't hurt that Keith David's voice is like honey in your ears. I could listen to that man talk about absolutely nothing and I'd never get tired of it.
i've always had a thing for dr facilier. awesome villain, awesome voice
he is sort of like Raul Julia's Bison. Crappy movie with a great villain role.
Um...exclude the "crappy movie" part of your statement.
All lives matter.
He's the same guy who does the Arbiter from Halo and Sgt Foley in Modern Warfare 2.

"OHH! You're... so quiet!" that part makes me laugh every time XD
Also for some reason I really love Facilier's face after he says "Fun fact about voodoo, Larry..."
Facilier is definitely one of the greatest Disney villains of all the time hands down.
i liked Dr Facilier he wasent like most villans with magic powers who wanted more power to rule he knew how the world works those with the green have the power. he could have easily been another power hungry guy but he was smart he stayed out of the light after all he is the shadow man
Now I get why Dr. Faciler's look and movements looked so familiar. The man that animated him created The Proud family. He even looks like a long lost Proud family member.
Only...y'know. Evil. And from NOLA.
He does kinda favor Oscar
I see it! in 1 episode Dijonnay states that her family is Creole. Could be a distant relation.
The first thing I said when I saw this guy was "Is that Oscar?"
Ehh nothing similar to him. He looks a lot like Prince from the 2000s era.
I see it now. The facial expressions facilier makes, the way he’s drawn it gives Oscar proud vibes especially the tall, skinny, and his feet. 🤔I can’t believe I’ve never realized that. Thx for pointing it out
1:18-Dr Facilier's face tho XD
*when you get revenge on that one annoying kid in your class for getting you in trouble*

If that doesn't become a meme template I swear
"You're so quiet." I'm not sure why that makes me laugh, but it does.
All that power and it's gained him NOTHING... it's not often you can despise a villain so UTTERLY - and yet sympathize with him so completely.
Selling more and more pieces of himself - his own soul - on the tiny infinitesimal chance he might get ahead - only to end up trapped and tortured by his own 'allies' for eternity.

@@gameoholic1994 and the end of that sentence is probably either "consumed by voodoo magic" or "dragged to hell".
😁😁😁😁
Really gives you a glimpse into how Facilier became who he is and how he can understand Lawrence's own life...while giving you chills because he's using that common ground to ruthlessly manipulate him and planning to sacrifice everyone in New Orleans to get the wealth and power he craves.
Facilier reminds of Captain Hook a bit. They're both two of the few Disney Villains who have a humanizing fear. Hook is scared sh*tless of the Crocodile who wants to eat, and Facilier is in debt with his "friends of the other side",and clearly knows he's playing with dangerous forces. You get they're the main antagonists of their respective movie, but they're not untouchable, they're something else above them in the power chain that scares them.
Really? His spirits (or loa, I guess) are afraid of something? What might that be?
Hes talking about him being afraid of the Loa, not the Loa being afraid of something else.
Imagination Core They fear Mama Odie because she has more power than her.
Behold! 1:08 Dr. Facilier's magical disappearing staff.
Actually why does the staff appear and disappear on its own?

ARE YOU READY
"Aren't you tired of livin' on the margins, while all o' those fat cats in their fancy cars don't give you so much as a sideways glance?"
Hmm, sounds like Dr. Facilier has had it pretty rough in his OWN past. Not much of a surprise; a black guy in the 1920s doesn't necessarily have the greatest job opportunities ever without either some money, some connections, or a HECK of a lot of hard work... and luck.
Unlike Tiana, though, he chose magic over muscle and mind, and pays for it in the end.
0:42: That expression was perfect. Facilier didn't even to say anything. It's like 'Duh! it doesn't work on me!'
Says it all on its own
I really want my own shadow, that makes people falls and laugh evily **w**
Dramatic Angel That would be such a terrible power.
Having your shadow like him and Peter Pan had to sacrifice their soul to give their shadow llife.
Alexis Oppenheim I'm fine with that *W*
Dramatic Angel Well then, you better be ready.
I want one too but I would never sell for it
I just love the way he says "voodoo madness". Makes me laugh every time lol
Why would such a high source of power made to be so fragile? You'd think that an object that is connected to someone's eternal fate would be made to be somewhat indestructible.
So Facilier's "friends" can claim his soul if it breaks.
+Brandon Williams The more fragile something is, the more careful and protective you are of it. And you better be careful anyway, if you're willing to mess around with the evil side of magic. It shows just how easy it is to lose everything in one simple mistake.
+Brandon Williams The more power it holds, the rather it wants to part away (is fragilie) (Atom physics, however I have no clue how to say that in English, just think of how nuclear plants work)
I see where you went with this and it makes sense.
I think his so-called "friends on the other side" did that on purpose to see how long he could go before it broke.
Good scene this one Dr Facilier really grew on me throughout the film
When he says he can't conjure a thing for himself, that must mean that he can't use his magic directly for his own benefit. So he goes about it indirectly so his magic does work
except for infusing his shadow with something to make it an independent being that can interact with the physical world. I wonder why that doesn't count
@@scarman1675 He likely didn't create it. It was likely a 'gift' from his friends.
I love how he instantly calms down and talks softly in the middle of scolding Larry.

kinda feel sad for lawrence and facilier, mostly for lawrence
this scene alone show how much stuff they had to deal with in their life (example like how much the prince make a fool of him repeatedly in the start of the movie) before they go to the dark side, and greed rules them
he did warn the prince to stay away from facilier at the start

"All you got to do is marry Big Daddy's little princess, and we'll be splittin' that juicy LaBuff fortune right down the middle. 60/40 like I said."

Dang, this man is WAY too charismatic for a cartoon figure. Why does he have to be that charismatic? And why isn't he real? Oh, well, maybe it's better this way but he's still damn awesome.
This guy is the absolute best, he really talks to Lawrence's desires here and understands how to get him on his side
His voice at 0:32 shows just how much he knows he's in the crapper if he fails. He's terrified, the price is so high.
Love Dr. Facilier smacks Lawrence on his head lol
Facilier isn't just the best disney villian ever but the best disney character ever and this scene explains why.
Dr. Faciller feels the most human of all villains he loses his temper, uses trickery, he is scared of a higher power. He's just so amazing as a villain
why is it that when i see dr.facilier I see oscar from the proud family?
Threepeatgamer 1 same, their facial features are very similar

0:34
This is a man who knows exactly what words to use.
It’s no surprise he’s a smooth talker and very creative with his words. And not ONCE has he ever lied. Sure maybe manipulate, but he’s a deal maker and he has not broken a single rule. The only rule he’s broken was when the contract was broken (the skull necklace broken by tiara) which got him sent to hell I’m assuming.
Over here you see him yell but he stops himself. He knows what words to use, and what words to not use. The other guy doesn’t even notice or care to make him finish as Dr Facilier starts talking about something else. Dr Facilier didn’t even need to finish a sentence, he just hopped onto another subject even though what he said before could’ve been very important, he stopped. He changes his tone and just goes “fun fact Larry” with no problem.
Now we know that in his song “Friends on the Other Side” is a song that swayed both Prince Navene and the other guy to all this voodoo contract, where Facilier HEAVILY forshadows how Prince Navene is going to be turned into a frog, but of course they didn’t notice. He still didn’t lie a single time in that song. And in that other scenario he made where Tiara has the voodoo necklace and she’s in an illusion where she’s in her dream restaurant, Facilier didn’t lie either. He was 100% correct about Tiaras dream and Tiara’s father. He made the deal feel so small because he made the dream feel so big.
On a side note to something I replied to someone else’s comment:
I honestly feel like it’s cause he got into some kind of debt with the “friends on the other side.” Which is why he has learned to be 100% honest in his deals, despite being a master of manipulation and smooth talk he still is truthful to his word by making his deal 90% dream and 10% the deal when he talks and persuades people. I feel like he already gotten into some trouble with his “friends” before hand. The doc is the least honest around his “friends” in my opinion (saying things like “just a little more time.” “I promise I’ll pay you back.”) He seems to know not to mess with them, and to be truthful and not **** with them.
0:26 T H I C C

Dr. Facilier didn't find 0:25-027 amusing?
Be honest. You laughed when Lawrence turned back into Lawrence
That is never not funny, as far as I'm concerned.

Finaly, someone who's talking about that!
It was funny and cool. Voodoo can turn him into a hunk that almost got the girl.
Disney finally did it. They made literally the perfect villain..
I FUCKING LOVE what Facilier does at 0:42. xD
I love Facilier imagine if he actually could pay his friends back.......... OMFG that would be the end of the world :D
PS: Am I the only one who find his shadow's laugh epic ???? XD
Well if Lawrence hadn't screwed up, Tiana and Facilier would never have met; after all, they only met because Naveen ran into her. So thus, Facilier would have got control of New Orleans and given up the peoples souls to save his own skin. So he technically could have paid them back.
Unless, of course, you count the fact that the Loa have different interpretations of paying someone back, but rarely deal in peoples souls; Baron Samedi could be bargained with using chilli rum and cigars. So it could be his Friends just wanted a good bowl of kush and a Bob Marley CD.
I agree with you. And I always thought that Lawrence was nothing more than a nuisance for Facilier....well...:| and paying depts to Loa back is indeed rare that is souls but the real voodoo is a different for what Facilier do. But yes I agree with you
Or just the city of New Orleans...
Dramatic Angel If the spirits do keep their word but I don't know.
Dr. Facilier is the best disney villain. In my mind there's some things that perfect a villainous
character: •persuasive in this clip his persuasiveness is already shown, and when the prince is getting turned to frog, he just finds every little detail to get them to shake his hand. Genius. And of course the voice! Every good villain needs a good voice. Prof.perilous, rose from Scooby doo, dr.facilier, I can go on. I LOVE good villains, part of why I wanna be an actor XD
The way he says "sideways glance"... it sounds like a purr! I just melted to Dr. Facilier's feet!
I've always thought it would be interesting to have an evil wizard character who's completely ghetto, and Facilier is all that.
He's like a drug dealer trying to work his way up.
Doctor Facilier gets nowhere near the screen time he deserves.

I love how they animated that little pause he does at 0:42.
"You and I both know the real power in this world ain't magic.... it's MONEY! Buckets of it!"
And thus, the Disney studio gave up on the magic of 2D animation so they could earn buckets of money off of CGI films and that's just sad ☹
Not to mention their purchasing of Marvel, Star Wars, and Fox. (I do like the newer star wars films but still...)
@@tristanpetty7173 another example is EA ( the scum and villainy that they are) decided to try to buy Mortal Kombat to milk it with overpriced Microtransactions.

The little remark "You're so quiet" actually reminds me of myself. I unintentionally scare the crap out of my friends just by walking up to them out of nowhere.

I agree completely with everything you said.
I've noticed that as I've gotten older, I find Disney villains more and more interesting. Not perhaps because of what's done on screen, but their true motivations- the impetus behind their actions that drive the plot forward. THAT'S what's always been interesting to me. A character that can be sympathetic, even if not excusable, is fascinating.
If you think about it, most Disney villains kind of fall in that category. Scar, for example, is the younger brother of the king, and small and weak by comparison. From the moment he was born, the best he could ever be was second best.
Jafar has constantly had to be kind and polite to a sultan who happens to be a simpleton. Having to bend over backwards for someone else is always a pain, but doing it for an idiot? That would be rough on anyone. And despite serving faithfully, he never receives any measure of power. He almost had it when he finally found the Cave of Wonders, but it remained shut to him. He almost had the lamp, and it was denied to him. And he almost married the princess, and lost her. Despite his careful planning, it seemed like the universe conspired against him.
Or perhaps, look at Hades- Hades in Greek mythology, was the eldest of all the Olympians (the eldest son was traditionally the person who received all of the inheritance), yet gets to rule the Underworld- not something anyone likes.
Frollo is my absolute favorite- he's a man who believes himself pious and just, but can't escape from the fact that he is flawed as well. He sees his own flaws as the flaws of the city, and with every witch hunt he executes, he thinks that he's purging the city of evil, when he's trying to purge the sin from himself. He's a fascinating person, because a lot of his actions are driven by self-loathing, even if he doesn't recognize it himself.

Ah, Mother Gothel vs. the Queen- that's a great comparison. A character that isn't black-and-white is much more memorable than a character who is. This is true for villains as well as heroes. But a big difference is that a villain's motivation is typically (though not always) more important than the hero's motivation. A hero's motivation can simply be reactionary, but a villain, for the most part, tends to be much more motivated than the hero.
Take Nevine, for example- he really had no motives in the plot. But then, Dr. Facilier comes into the picture, and he already had plans in mind (and his motives are made clear in this video.
A villain's motives ARE the villain, and if the motives can be understood, then so can the villain himself. This scene is certainly speaks to that end- the Doc hates his lot in life, and hates the people born with more than he could ever earn. It's not a difficult sentiment to understand.

No problem! I enjoy a conversation that makes me think about and qualify my beliefs.
I'm an unpublished novelist, so I consider these things quite a bit.
herofromthedark While I certainly see what you two are saying... I have to wonder, how then does Maleficent fit into your views? There's -very- little development or motivation like you've spoken of here, and yet she's far and away one of Disney's most powerful, terrifying, and memorable villains.

I've always felt that her fame was kind of overblown. But if you think about it, she was the first of her kind- the first superhuman villain in a Disney film. The queen of Snow White was somewhat magical, but not in the supervillain way. Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Dumbo, Bambi, etc.- they all had normal villains who could be defeated by non-supernatural means.
Maleficent then set the standard for villains of her type and style. Jafar, Hades, Ursula, Dr. Facilier- they all follow in her footsteps, but I'd argue that they were better than her. Jafar doesn't seem to have as much presence, and Hades's humor sometimes undercuts his malevolent nature, but that's more of a character quirk than an actual derailing quality.
Don't get me wrong- I like Maleficent, it's just that I think that better villains have been made. But they really only came into being BECAUSE of Maleficent.
Honestly Facilier's tone during this whole thing says so much about him. I wanna know what he's been through to make him the way he is
It’s implied he grew up poor and the rich people did nothing to help him.
0:30 the face of contempt.
Taking the word of a smooth talking witch doctor in cahoots with the forces of darkness, I'm sure that won't come back to bite him.
With a freaking skull in his hat
why do I have the feeling if Facilier's plan worked he would have just killed Lawrence
VanguardPlays He would’ve killed him after getting the money probably. IDK 🤷🏾♂️😂
Jesús Soto I don’t think so. It wouldn’t be necessary.

why did Dr. Facilier cross the rode?
to get to his friends on the other side
Nicolas Herrera. 😂😂😂
Not even gonna bother clicking "read more", I know this one.🙄
0:42 that face you make when you're best friend takes the last Oreo
"You're so quiet..." This line always got me XD
You let him go?!
@@chupacadabra5161 The poor devil was gasping so I loosened the lid ever so slightly.
Man, I thought Facilier was totally going to whoop Lawrence's ass with that cane!! Facilier is such a bad ass!
Keith David's voice is like melting butter. One of those voices you could listen to all day
Facilier is the most underrated villain ever.
OK this my favourite villan

Imagine it breaking and exploding when it hits his hands
The lighting on the characters is really impressive, I wish Disney kept doing hand drawn
split that fortune right down the middle 60/40 like i said. lol love dr facilier
Well, the scene where he tries to tempt Tiana into helping seems to imply that his story is pretty similar to her own: Growing up with very little, being told he'll never rise beyond his meager beginnings because of his race, never getting any breaks in life, etc. But where Tiana swore to rise above it all by the sweat of her brow, Facilier tried to take the easy way out. Though it would be interesting to learn just how one forms a contract with "the other side".
Wow, Disney was this close to having two charectors of different race get married. FOR ONCE PLEASE??!!
Brandon Carey To be fair, it's never explained where Maldonia is located.
Tiana is black and naveen seems to be Hispanic
hoda ahmad Naveen's ambiguous. He could probably even pass off for a West Asian man.
Also, who cares?
yay! i finally found this scene!! thx 4 uploading this is one of my favourite dr.facilier scences :3 thank you!!!!
