Meet Dr. Facilier thanks to Cartoon Brew

Well, this is pretty wonderful stuff, some footage for Disney by way of CartoonBrew.com of the new villain Dr. Facilier. I can’t wait to see the final film.

In the video, supervising animator Bruce Smith (Bebe’s Kids, The Proud Family) discusses the character of Dr. Facilier, the villain of the film, and how voice actor Keith David influences the animators work and the character’s performance. David is shown performing and being directed by John Musker and Ron Clements. There are also some brief bits of pencil tests and color footage that hasn’t appeared anywhere else on the web.
