Dr. Facilier



Dr. Facilier, a.k.a. The Shadow Man, is the antagonist in Disney's The Princess and the Frog. He is responsible for transforming Prince Naveen into a frog, and gives Naveen's aide Lawrence a voodoo charm filled with Naveen's blood that would give him the appearance of the prince. His plan is to have Lawrence marry Charolette LaBouff, after which he would then kill her father and claim his fortune. After Naveen escapes, Facilier makes a deal with the spirits- he would give them the souls of the people of New Orleans in exchange for tracking down Naveen. He eventually is defeated when Tiana shatters the voodoo charm, and the spirits turn on Facilier, dragging him into the spirit realm.

First Appearance
When Dr. Facilier first appears in the movie he is on the street perform the classic form of trickery that does not seem at all special to trick a man out of his money. When the camera comes back to him after he has seen prince Naveen he grows frustrated and desires the princes money.
