I liked how PatF subverted a lot of common tropes as well. For example, I expected to hate Charlotte's guts, but she turned out to be a total sweetheart who was a caring friend to Tiana. And Ray... let's say I did NOT see that last bit coming. I didn't expect Disney to (Highlight for Spoiler:) kill him, but then it's been a while since we've had the good ol' Disney death, haven't we? :P I think him dying actually made me like him more, however grim it sounds.
Plus Disney delivers another great villain with Facilier. "Friends on the Other Side" was awesome, hands down. 8)
*nod* I was amazed by how much I liked Charlotte; I think I'm a fan of Jennifer Cody. How hard could it have been to find a voice that silly without ever being annoying?
And yes on Facilier, too. Keith David is an amazing actor. He never achieved the stardom he deserves, but he works very regularly, and I'm glad because he brings something original and wonderful to everything he does.
Nice review. I liked the film but for me the outstanding feature (apart from the long overdue black princess) was the soundtrack - possibly the best from Disney since The Jungle Book.
