Because he's got a neat design, is entertaining, has a great villain song, and is voiced by Keith David.

Because his song is the only good one in the whole film and he's the only memorable character.

Also Keith David

he deserved to be in a better movie.

Tiana, her blonde friend, and the prince are also good characters, and the Louisiana setting was a nice change of pace, but the overall movie was pretty weak, IMO.

Yeah he was a very memorable character with a great villain song voiced by an awesome voice actor in Keith David. Excellent casting choice.

He's a great villain, arguably on par with the classic Disney villains.

And Friends on the Other Side is one of the best villain songs. It might be my favorite actually, though a few others are in contention for that spot.

This is all the reasons, and they're all great reasons.

Everyone had a great performance and there was a lot of great characters as well, but Dr. Facillier just outshines all of them. Think of Genie from Aladdin or Hades from Hercules.

He's like Jaffar if he was a Black American in the 1920s.

Tatiana and Naveen are alright. She's a top five princess for looks and a respectable character for her hard work ethic. He's definitely one of the most relatable (pervy) Disney males. But, on the whole, they're kinda bland. And the talking animal friends are completely forgettable.

The movie has a good premise that it doesn't do much with. It's not bad. It's just one that could have been better given more time and focus. It's kinda like Raya and the Last Dragon in that regard.

That's what was really missing from the movie: an eight-minute fist fight in an alleyway.

Yeah, and it doesn't help with the fact that Tiana spent the majority of the movie as a frog. You get your first Black Princess and you don't even get to see her black for the majority of the movie.

That is the issue with Soul too. Joe is a soul for half of the movie, then the other half and he is a fucking cat. That pissed me off.

if I had a nickel for every disney-owned frog-related media where Keith David was the villain, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice

I have mixed feelings about this because it is the premise of the movie.

The Emperor's New Groove was a Prince and the Pauper adaptation for which the studio forced them to take out the Prince and the Pauper swap that made up the basis of the story. It's hard to imagine Disney making a movie about two people being turned into frogs and taking out the transformation into a frog.

Would they have been better off to have had White protagonists and waited until the next movie to have a Black lead? I don't think turning him into a frog and having her carry him across New Orleans was ever on the table as an option. And, if it had been, it would have been kicking the can down the road because people would have complained that the first Black male love interest spent half of the movie as an animal.

Of course, this post makes me take a second look at Disney's choices here. A human being turned into an animal is a relatively rare premise for a Disney animated movie, yet it's happened both times that the lead was Black.

Worth noting while both were Disney these were done by two completely different studios.
