  • It's Disney's big returns to traditional 2D animation after seemingly leaving it behind for 3D animated movies. And we get to see them pull out all the stops for this remarkable movie!

    Dr Facilier is reportedly modeled after Baron Samedi
    The good witch doctor is also interesting in that unlike other villains, who believe themselves unstoppable, Facilier fully recognizes that he has crippling if not outright fatal weaknesses and has to work around them

    Not only did Keith David show us his amazing singing voice in this movie, but he showed off his singing voice as husk didn’t even change his voice just no need to change his voice. He’s just being himself and his voice that is singing as a wise old bartending cat, who is a bit of a grump and sings one of the best songs as a duet as he relates to a spider who’s down on his luck and it’s really catchy

    About Winnie the Pooh (2011), the reason it failed commercially is because it was purposely sabotaged by Disney by placing it on the same day as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 without any promotion so they can focus on those damn CGI. Projects. Not to mention that they also have to change the name titles of the adaptation of famous girly stories, such as Tangled (Rapunzel) and Frozen (The Snow Queen).

    This is still one of the most underrated Disney films in my opinion, I really enjoyed it's story and characters as well as it's beautiful 2D animation, Princess Tiana is honestly my favorite Disney Princess because she's the one character in this movie I can relate to, it's still disappointing that this and Winnie The Pooh (2011) were the last 2D animated movies Disney has ever released before they would continue the trend of producing 3D animated films.

    Some things worth noting as a witch, voodoo itself is not inherently evil. Something the movie even showcases through Mama Odie.
    Another thing that is just interesting is Facilier's use of tarot. Something I learned going into it, is that you need to be vague when reading the future for a damn good reason. Because being too blunt can cause the one being read to overcorrect and make it a fulfilling prophecy if they don't like what you say, basically setting their fate in stone. Facilier is not being vague about anything he says beyond hints to Naveen becoming a frog by saying green instead of money despite showing it on the cards. He is using the decks to actively manipulate them into doing what he wants them to do for his own gain like a true conman.
    Also your use of the term warlock is correct here. Not because Facilier is a male magic practitioner, but because he's doing all the opposite things that are expected of him. In truth the voodoo gods would likely be very cross with him over what he's doing. And honestly who's to say he's not just worshipping dark creatures in place of the actual deities themselves? Some witches today even think worshipping certain Native American monsters as deities is a good idea(they are not anything of the sort fyi that is a terrible idea), so it wouldn't be too far fetched to think Facilier would do the same thing. That said I know nothing of voodoo or any particularly evil creatures that live in that region(Beyond that Facilier reminds me of Loupe Garou, minus being a werewolf sort of beast.). So I could be wrong on some things being shown. What you guys think?

      There’s also his use of "Voodoo Dolls" which, fun fact, are not an actual part of Voodoo but were created by white authors during the 1930s to further vilify the religion; taking the concept of the dolls from European witchcraft.

    • @Chimeragui
      @Chimeragui 29 днів тому

      That said, the leader mask who also serves as the portal to the Other Side is likely Baron Samedi himself, as the Loa Baron of the Dead is reportedly known for committing evil acts and giving power to Bokors (Voodoo Doctors).
      Facilier dressing in the same clothing that Samedi wears in Mythology also supports this as in Voodoo Magic it is believed that the more you act and look like the Loa you serve, the stronger the connection of power between the two of you will be.

      @@Chimeragui Ah, well as I said my knowledge on Voodoo is squat. Nice tidbit though for sure. Still doesn't entirely make sense though. Given that one thing I do know about Voodoo, is that it's a sympathetic magic. Through pain or suffering(non maliciously) you gain favor and aid basically as far as I know. Also aren't the Loa good and kind for the most part? Or am I missing something here? Cus I don't recall any deities in any branch of witchcraft being truly evil necessarily. Beyond our mortal understandings maybe, but evil?

    Tiana's problems wasn't because of her ethnicity, but her status. They knew Tiana was black when they agreed to sell her the building. The only reason they later rejected the offer was because someone who offered the full amount showed up.

    27:35: Actually, it’s not racial backlash that’s the problem; it’s because when converting Splash Mountain to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, any serious conflict related to the movie (like a possible return of Dr. Facilier) was completely gone, making the drop from the top all the more disappointed.
