I have to say this movie is really....good, even the villain, the shadow man. But is he the true villain? I've been thinking about that while watching this movie. The first time you see it, you assume it is Dr. Folicer also known as the "shadow man". Known for voodoo as well as black magic. Casting evil shadows and wanting to be the ruler of New Orleans.
I think deep down, he isn't the only one that is evil. There is another.
Looking back at the movie, I could tell that Prince Navenne's assistant, Lawrence, chubby, as well as slow witted at times. Wanting dreams of his own. Not wanting to shadow the prince, who is spoiled as well as wanting his own dreams.
When they meet the shadow man (who's voiced by the great Keith David) the shadow man pricks the blood of the prince and is turned into a frog. Lawrence is turned into the prince.
Why do I feel that Lawrence is more of a villain as the shadow man?? It's because he wants his own dreams, not to be a slave, or servant to a prince that is selfish, or so he thought.
After Tiana, the main character, is also turned into a frog, the shadow man and Lawrence also want revenge, or to be rulers of New Orleans, however, there is a king that runs the place (voiced by John Goodman)
using voodoo doll of the king, after the prince (who really is Lawrence) says 'I do' to marrying the princess; who knows Tiana personally and is friends with her.
It seems it didn't work and both the Shadow Man and Lawrence have to find the frog prince, as well as killing a firefly and eventually...
The Shadow Man is pulled to his doom as well as Lawrence being arrested 
Yeah it seems they get their just desserts, and this movie wasn't bad. It was pretty good actually, and I enjoyed it. The songs, the voice acting as well as the story. Even the shadow man had a good song called, "Friends on the other side."

To me, this is one of my top ten, maybe 11 on the Disney animation. Not beating Aladdin, Lion King or even my favorite, the original, beauty and the beast.
I liked it, and it took me a while to realize there was more than one villain in this movie. Give it a watch, it's not bad.
