Following my previous post about Princess and The Frog, now I want to give you the list of the characters and its dubbers… The information I got is from IMDB and Wikipedia, as well as its pictures
The first one is Anika Noni Rose. She is the voice of the newest princess from Disney Family, which is the first African American princess in Disney Princesses, Tiana. Rose defeated Jennifer Hudson and Tyra Banks to have this role. Well in the movie, Tiana is actually a 19-year-old waitress and aspiring chef who dreams of owning her own restaurant one day. Her fate changes when she meets a frog who’s asking to be kissed so he can change bank into a prince. Instead of finding a handsome prince, Tiana finds herself become a frog too.
Who is the ‘prince’ that has made Tiana into a frog? He is Prince Naveen. His voice is dubbed by Bruno Campos (we know him from Nip/Tuckthe series). He is actually a prince who comes to the French Quarter for the jazz scene. Tiana and her best friend, Charlotte fall in love with him. But then he was cursed by Dr. Facilier into a frog.
Tiana’s best friend, Charlotte “Lottie” La Bouff, was voiced by Jennifer Cody. Like Tiana, Charlotte also wants to marry a prince and become a princess.
The evil from this movie which has cursed Prince Naveen is Doctor Facilier, which was voiced by Keith David (voice of Decepticon Barricade on Transformers the Video Game). He was originally named "Doctor Duvalier" and was a voodoo magician and fortune teller. He misled Naveen to make a deal that has transformed him into a frog (‘Green” for Dr. Facilier is frog, while for Naveen is money). As quoted from Wikipedia, Keith David described Facilier as “A schemer, a conjurer and a sorcerer of sorts.”
Like every other princess has, Tiana also has a ‘fairy Godmother’. She is Mama Odie, which was voiced by Jennifer Lewis. Mama Odie is a 197-year-old blind woman who knows voodoo. She also has a snake as her pet, called JuJu.
The other character who also helps the frogs is Ray, a firefly who is in love with Evening Star (Venus) because he thinks it’s another firefly. Ray helps Tiana and Naveen to meet Mama Odie. Ray was voiced by Jim Cummings, who is known as the voice of Winnie The Pooh and Tiger.
We also cannot forget Michael-Leon Wooley as Louis, an alligator who can sing jazz and play trumpet. You won’t be afraid if you meet Louis, because his only dream is to become a human and join a jazz band. Haha…
As a prince, Naveen also has a valet. He is Lawrence, who was voiced by Peter Bartlett.
Tiana’s mother, Eudora, was voiced by Oprah Winfrey (who doesn’t know her…). Angela Bassett was originally rumored to be slated for the role.
Tiana’s father, James, was voiced by Terrence Howard (known from his role in Iron Man). He shares dream with his daughter, to have a restaurant of their own.
The young Tiana and Charlotte were voiced by Elizabeth Dampier and Breanna Brooks. They loved hearing the story of “The Frog Prince” from Eudora.
Besides all these actors and actresses, there are still some characters which are not mentioned here, such as Don Hall as the frog hunter, Darnell; Emeril Lagasse as Marlon, an alligator, John Goodman as Big Daddy La Bouff, the richest man; etc.
Don’t forget to buy "Princess and the Frog" the soundtrack . It was composed by Randy Newman, who have won a lot of awards for his works, such as in Toy Story, Monsters Inc., etc. Or feel free to cook like Tiana, follow her recipes in the cook book . You can also play the game. See other products below!
Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin” comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG marks the return to hand-drawn animation from the revered team of John Musker and Ron Clements, with music by Oscar®-winning composer Randy Newman.

Hi guys… What are you doing right now? I am watching Walt Disney’s Meet the Robinsons at the moment. It will never be boring…
Btw, I got news from a friend that Broadway’s show SHREK was bankrupt. It was said that the show didn’t have a lot of audiences. Wow… I hate Shrek anyway, because Dreamworks always “steal” Disney’s works… What do you think? Any of you knows?

This girl became famous after she starred a Disney Channel movie called Camp Rockwith Jonas Brothers. Demi started to act since she was six years old. Her first stage was Barney and Friends, a famous TV show for children which contains singing and dancing. She starred as Angela, the girl with glasses, along with her best friend until now, Selena Gomez (Alex in Wizards of Waverly Place). They met in the show and have been best friends since then.
Her debut in Disney Channel was started when she appeared in short Disney series, As The Bell Rings. She is Charlotte Adams in that movie. Since 2008, we can see her on Disney Channel Camp Rock, together with Jonas Brothers. Here, Demi takes part as Mitchie Torres, the daughter of cook on a camp who is dreaming of being a rock star. Mitchie then has to lie to everybody that she can join the camp because her mother is the cook. The camp itself is in rock-and-roll atmosphere.
Another Disney Channel series which she is working in is Welcome to Mollywood. Beside of acting, Demi Lovato is also a singer and musician. Her latest album is Don’t Forget (released on September 23, 2008). Demi is good in playing guitar and piano. Demi and Jonas Brothers help each other by writing songs on each album.

After Hannah Montana held a 3D Concert, now it’s time for Jonas Brothers to have another 3D concert. I hope it’s better than Hannah Montana. I don’t really like the Hannah Montana 3D Concert.

As I’ve been waiting for months, finally the release date of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader finally released. Unfortunately, the rumor is true. Narnia has no longer listed as Walt Disney production (so saaddd.… )
But still, Narnia will be a must-see movie this year… Here below is the source.
Twentieth Century Fox and Walden Media will release “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” on December 10, 2010.
The move means “Narnia” will once again be a winter franchise, and places it a day past the five year anniversary of the release of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2005.
Twentieth Century Fox recently partnered with Walden on the “Narnia” film series after Disney and Walden parted ways. It was an easy fit, since Walden Media and Fox have a partnership under the Fox Walden banner. Disney was the publicity, financial support and distributor for the first two “Narnia” films. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe debuted in December 2005 and cumed $291.7 million domestically.
Prince Caspian was released last May to less spectacular results, cuming $141.2 million at the North American box office. Walden and Fox believe “Narnia” is better suited for a December release.
As of now, “Dawn Treader” has the 2010 date to itself. Let the countdown begin!
Although it had six nominations for Oscar, an Pixar-Walt Disney animation Wall-E had won an Oscar for “Best Animated Film”. It was also nominated for Original Score, Original Song, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Original Screenplay.
Wall-E, like I’ve discussed before here, is an animation created by Pixar Studio and Walt Disney Production in 2008. It doesn’t have many dialogues, but still, it’s interesting to watch. The story is fresh and it’s showing us how our Earth will be if we keep making it dirty. Wall-E is a robot which has to clean our Earth so human will be able to live in it again.
One thing I remember from Wall-E is M-O, the robot whose duty is to make sure everything is clean in Axiom (the space ship where people from Earth live). M-O is Microbe Obliterator, which obsess to clean the ship and inspects incoming shipments. Every time M-O sees Wall-E, he always makes Wall-E clean. Wall-E dirty trail (because he is from our dirty Earth) always makes M-O upset, but he still cleans it. I love him! One thing interesting about Wall-E and M-O, they have same person to be their voice. Benn Burtt voiced Wall-E and M-O.
I feel pity that Wall-E didn’t get all the Oscars, but at least it won one. Besides Wall-E, Walt Disney was also nominated for Bolt. It is not 3D animation, but 2D animation with John Travolta and Miley Cyrus as Bolt and Penny.
