I agree with jasonf's review 100%!
Notwithstanding the animation (which I found gorgeous), the music was second-rate (no memorable songs in the bunch), the screenplay uninspired, and Facilier was a dud of a villain. Someone who'd seen the film last month posted on another thread that Facilier has one of the best Disney deaths ever, but the climax was... well, anticlimactic. It's a mediocre film. I took my 9-year-old niece to see it and she dozed off a couple times and only laughed thrice. Afterward, I asked her what she thought and she said, "It was okay." My sentiments exactly.
My thought is a goatee is not enough for a resemblence.
I had to add my two thoughts on PRINCESS AND THE FROG, though. I LOVED it! Jennifer Cody was so awesome as Charlotte, and Anika Noni Rose was such a beautifully voiced Tiana. I loved every minute.
Now . . . more Disney musicals, please!
