What is the name of the villain in 'The Princess and the Frog'?

The villain in 'The Princess and the Frog' is Dr. Facilier. Also called the Shadow Man, he is a voodoo witch doctor who manipulates people through magic and bargains with spirits known as his 'Friends on the Other Side.'

Facilier begins his scheme by turning Prince Naveen into a frog and using Naveen's blood in a talisman. He then transforms Naveen's valet, Lawrence, into a double of the prince, hoping Lawrence can marry Charlotte La Bouff and help him seize her family's fortune. His larger ambition is to gain control of New Orleans.

Keith David provides Dr. Facilier's voice. The character's elegant top hat and tailcoat, along with his shadow-based magic, distinguish him from the film's other supernatural figures, especially Mama Odie, who helps Tiana and Naveen break Facilier's spell.

Facilier is sometimes confused with Disney villains such as Jafar, Ursula, or Gaston, but those characters belong to different films. He is the principal antagonist of Disney's 2009 animated musical, which returned the studio to traditional hand-drawn animation.
