One of the latest but also entertaining villains that has come through the Disney universe is Dr. Facilier aka “The Shadow Man.” Dr. Facilier is the main villain in Disney’s 49th animated feature film, The Princess and the Frog. Dr. Facilier is an evil witch doctor who ultimate plan is to rule New Orleans and the entire world. He will do this with his many friends on the other side. Voiced by the great Keith David, Facilier has become on of the most popular villains.
Facilier is a devilish person who is devious, manipulative, and treacherous. Facilier tricks his victims into making deals with him that he knows they will not be able to handle. Facilier uses his innate abilities on having his friends on the other side help him read the past and present with his tarot cards. He uses this knowledge to look into his victim’s futures and offers to change it for the better. Facilier knows that the deals he makes will backfire on his victims and he shows little to no pity for them as they made a deal that they didn’t fully understand. What makes Facilier such a great villain is his silver tongue, charming personality, and sometime pushy means to get what he wants. He is a showman who wants power and will backstab and do anything to achieve it.
Dr. Facilier is one of the most popular villains in the Disney universe. The reason is because he has friends on the other side. When you go to New Orleans, make sure you stay away from this shadowy figure with a silver tongue. Make sure you keep all fireflies away from him. If you do meet him, make sure you don’t make any deals because you will become one of his shrunken heads.
