“Don't you disrespect me, little man!
Don't you derogate or deride!
You're in my world now, not your world
And I got friends on the other side!”
―Doctor Facilier singing about who he is

Dr. Facilier (commonly known as the Shadow Man) is the main antagonist of Disney's 2009 animated feature film The Princess and the Frog. Since his inception, Facilier has garnered critical acclaim and major popularity with fans, making him one of Disney's most popular villains. In response, he quickly became a primary member of the Disney Villains line-up.

He is an evil, smooth-talking bokor who plots to rule New Orleans with help from his "friends on the other side". Having come from a poor background, Facilier grew to resent the rich and prosperous—none so much as the most powerful man in the city, Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff. Facilier sought to supersede his rival using voodoo and pawns while offering the souls of New Orleans' denizens to his "friends" as recompense.

Trivia[]

  • Facilier wears a crocodile-tooth necklace; Voodoo practitioners believe that crocodile teeth can bring strength, primal energy, and wisdom.
  • Facilier was the first villain in the Disney animated canon to have his own song since Alameda Slim in 2004’s Home on the Range.
  • It is very subtly implied that Doctor Facilier can play the piano because there is one in his Voodoo Emporium.
  • In some books, Facilier is not sucked into the voodoo mask as a gateway to the voodoo world, but swallowed by his shadows, leaving his hat.
