The film stars Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone, and is directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Michael Wearing, who also directed and produced the series respectively. Edge of Darkness follows a detective (Gibson) investigating the murder of his activist daughter (Bojana Novakovic), while uncovering political conspiracies and cover-ups in the process.

On the lake outside of Northmoor International’s Nuclear Facility, three bodies float to the surface in the moonlight. Detective Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson) is waiting for his daughter, Emma Craven (Bojana Novakovic) at South Station train station. She arrives and Tom hugs his daughter. As Tom goes to pick up some food, Emma starts vomiting violently. Tom thinks she has food poisoning and brings her home. They idly chat and she tells Tom about her new boyfriend but doesn’t elaborate. She complains of an upset stomach, so Tom goes to get her a Ginger Ale. She starts bleeding from the nose and vomiting and asks her father to take her to the hospital. She tells him that she hasn’t told him everything about her life. As they leave the house, a masked man yells “CRAVEN” and fires two shotgun blasts into Emma’s chest. She is blasted through the door and dies in Thomas’s arm. The gunmen get away in their vehicle and Thomas is left crying over Emma’s body.

Cops from the precinct arrive and try to console Tom. He doesn’t really respond well to their presence. His former partner, Whitehouse (Jay O. Sanders), offers to have him spend the night at his place, but Tom turns him down. He kicks all the cops out of his apartment and goes and wipes Emma’s blood off of his face. He looks through Emma’s cabinet and sees a handgun. Her phone goes off and Tom picks up. The caller doesn’t say anything and ends the call. He hallucinates Emma’s presence and goes to bed. He wakes up to a car backfiring and draws his gun. He goes into work, where the news is reporting that he was the intended target and that Emma was an accident. Tom goes down to the morgue to identify Emma’s body. He cuts off a lock of her hair and goes to the park. He stares at an empty bench and imagines Emma as a child reading her favorite book.

Tom pays a visit to Emma’s boyfriend by pulling up the serial number of the gun that is registered to Emma’s boyfriend. He doesn’t answer the door, so Tom jimmies it open with a pick. A fight between the two ensues with Emma’s boyfriend attempting to knife him. Tom incapacitates him and the two talk. The boyfriend tells Tom that he’s being watched by Northmoor and gives him Emma’s old stuff. He hints to Tom that the head of Northmoor, Bennett (Danny Huston), is responsible in some way.

Moore (Dennis O’Hara) calls Jedburgh (Ray Winstone), his company clean up man. Jedburgh is a fixer who helps corporations cover up messes. Moore tells Jedburgh that someone broke into the Northmoor Nuclear Facility and that three activists drowned and that Emma was killed in connection to the break in. Jedburgh asks if he will be covering up Emma’s death along with the others. Moore tells him that Tom is snooping around and that it’s up to him to make sure the dots don’t get connected.

Tom goes to Emma’s apartment. He sees that it has been subtly burglarized and her computer was taken. He goes through her belongings and finds a handheld Geiger counter, which goes off when Emma’s hair is placed next to it. Tom realizes that his daughter was dying of radiation poisoning.

Tom pays Bennett a visit in his office and asks about his daughter’s job. Bennett tells Tom that Emma was a glorified intern and was working on projects deemed “classified.” Tom asks how Emma contracted radiation poisoning. Bennett is surprised but says that there was no radiation near her job since Emma was involved in designing and planning their nuclear line. Bennett offers Tom his condolences…and then asks Tom what it feels like to watch a daughter die.

Tom calls in the break in at his daughter’s apartment and convinces the cop to report the break in as a funeral related robbery. He then goes home and starts burning Emma’s radiation contaminated clothing outside of his house in a barrel. He pulls his gun out and points it at Jedburgh, who is calmly sitting on Tom’s picnic table, watching the fire. Jedburgh comment on Tom’s burning of evidence and tells him that a few days before Emma’s death she was profiled as a terrorist. Not accused, simply profiled. Tom tells him that he knows that the target was Emma. Jedburgh asks if he plans on making any arrests. Tom tells him he doesn’t intend to bring anyone in, just kill them. He doesn’t mention the radiation marks on Emma’s hair or his suspicions about Northmoor. Jedburgh leaves his card and leaves Tom in his kitchen, wondering just who Jedburgh is working for.

Tom chases down a lead from Emma’s phone and arranges a meeting. The contact agrees to meet with him and tell him all about how she was involved with Emma and the three dead activists but that it will take her a day or two to return to Massachusetts from New Hampshire. He pays Emma’s boyfriend another visit and grills him about Emma and her involvement with the dead activists. Emma’s boyfriend tells him that she showed the activists how to break into Northmoor’s nuclear facility, but their deaths were not the result of a drowning, but exposure to lethal amounts of radiation. He details his suspicion that Bennett created the protocol to kill anyone who tries to get in or out of the facility. Tom is shocked but thanks Emma’s boyfriend.

That night, Tom waits outside of the Northmoor facility and tails Bennett as he leaves. He notices that he’s being followed by two Northmoor agents and pulls over to a rest stop. They follow him into a bathroom, but Tom sneaks out, destroys their car. Tom drives after Bennett, pulls him over and smashes Bennett’s personal driver into the dashboard. He holds Bennett at gunpoint, but he doesn’t kill him since he is unsure about whether or not Bennett is responsible. He leaves.

The next day, Tom meets with the contact, Melissa (Caterina Scorsone). Melissa tells Tom that Northmoor was doing something illegal, which Emma stumbled upon. Emma went to a lawyer and the Massachusetts State Senator. Neither helped her. Emma turned to Melissa and explained the situation so Melissa got her in contact with the activists. All of the activists except the leader died and Melissa went into hiding after the incident. Melissa tells Tom the name of the lawyer and then gives him a pair of DVDs meant for Tom from Emma. She tells Tom that Emma thought she was poisoned as she steps out of the car and is instantly hit by a car. The driver does a u-turn to try and kill Tom when he tries to help Melissa. Tom shoots at the car repeatedly until he kills the driver. He takes Melissa to the hospital. The doctors stabilize her but are forced to amputate her legs. Emma’s boyfriend is found dead in his apartment later that day.

Tom pays Jedburgh a visit and tells him about what happened. He reveals that Emma was poisoned and after a question and answer game, Tom thanks him for not killing him as well. Jedburgh waves him off and goes to a hospital. It’s clear that Jedburgh is dying of cancer, and this will be his last job.

Bennett meets with Moore to discuss the situation. Bennett tells Moore that he did have Emma poisoned in a way which left evidence. Moore is pissed and Bennett tells him that he’s good enough to clean up his own mess without relying on Moore. Bennett mentions that Tom is a problem and that he has order him to be taken care of. At Emma’s apartment, he uses the Geiger counter on Emma’s food and finds that her milk was spiked with radioactive material.

Tom finds the lawyer Emma consulted and confirms that he knows the Lawyer gave Northmoor and the Senator a heads up about Emma’s breach of contract and knowledge of the fact that she was letting activists into the nuclear facility. Tom tells the lawyer that if he doesn’t get a meeting with the Senator, he will tell the media about how his daughter was poisoned by Northmoor and that the lawyer did not inform her of the fact he works for Northmoor. He leaves the lawyer, goes to his car and checks up on the DVDs Melissa gave him. In the video, Emma tells her father that she knows she will die soon. She tells him that she lead the activists in since they were making nuclear weapons which would look like terrorist dirty bombs (implying a government conspiracy). Tom is horrified. He decides to drive around and notices a tail.

The next day, he goes to visit the Senator and is given immediate access. The Senator claims no knowledge of dealing with Emma, and then Tom shows him the photos of Emma’s corpse and the three dead activists. He tells the Senator that now is the time to pick a side or go down when the conspiracy is revealed to the public. He drives away.

That night, the tails continue follow Tom. He backs up his car into their grille and then arrests them, claiming they hit his car. He then gets them for having automatic weapons in their car. They tell them they’ll collect him in 24 hours. Tom tells them to fuck themselves and drives them to the precinct with several other cops.

Tom goes home and begins to feel sick. He realizes that he is going to die of radiation poisoning. His former partner, Whitehouse, shows up and tries to talk to Tom, but Tom realizes why he is there. The two tails arrive and knock Tom out while Whitehouse leaves Tom ashamed. When Tom wakes up, he is in Northmoor’s nuclear facility. He breaks out, steals a car and drives home. He grabs his gun and decides to drive to Bennett’s house to end things.

Tom arrives at Bennett’s house and shoots the first of the two Tails. The second one comes down the stairs and Tom shoots him in the legs several times. Tom realizes that this is the man who shot his daughter and forces him to yell “CRAVEN” to confirm it. He then shoots the man several times in the face. Bennett shoots Tom in the chest several times, but Tom tackles Bennett and pulls out the radioactive milk. He forces it down Bennett’s throat and collapses. Bennett runs to his cabinet to get pills to counteract the radioactivity but Tom drags himself over and shoots Bennett in the face saying “Deep Down, You Know You Deserve This.”

Tom is hospitalized for the gunshot wounds and radioactive poisoning. Jedburgh meets with Moore, the Senator and a political advisor. He listens to their suggestions as to how to play the Northmoor incident in a positive light. He tells them that he is done and then suggests an assassination attempt on the Senator should be the feature story, to drive Bennett’s death out of the tabloids. They are happy to go along with the story until they see Jedburgh pull out his gun. He shoots all three dead within a minute before a young police officer comes in. Jedburgh asks if the young man has a family and kids. The young man says yes and Jedburgh lowers his gun, only to be shot in the heart by the nervous cop.

As Tom lies dying in the hospital, we see a hallucination of Emma by his bedside. Across town, a young reporter opens a letter from Tom with the DVDs revealing the conspiracy with Tom’s “Good Luck” wishes. As he dies, Emma comforts him. The two then leave the hospital together and walk out into white light.

Angel of the Modern Era

In addition, some scenes in this movie is considered quite innovative with the lift, Äúkejenuhan, Au Lord of living beings who created his own. Unfortunately, the core of this film just does not work properly excavated. Initial concept was good enough to be widened and finally dispersed at the end of the story. Many scenes are not completely terselesakan. Too many conflicts and problems posed together to make this film does not provide a solution at all at the end of the story. Perhaps, this movie box office could be more perfect if it is packaged and with a longer duration. For a high-tech action movies, duration of 104 minutes is not enough.

Legion is the second film after 2012 that combines action with the same religion. Legion, Äúmenyelipkan, Au something that can direnungi audience: that's a lot of people are losing faith that makes more and more damage occurred on the earth. However, you do not have to worry that this film will go monotonous and boring. Stewart managed to spoil the audience's eyes by providing visual serve quite interesting.

Since there is no arena to coffin the asleep in, the asleep are placed in a chicken alkali pool, whereupon they are "recycled".

In the continued cut of the film, it makes bright that the adamant Mariner's antecedent intentions are to advertise Helen and Enola to bondservant traders, but relents as he grows to apperceive them.

Border outposts

Although there is no best any land, assertive areas of Waterworld are set out as bright territories for the assorted factions and groups who abide on the water's surface.

Inglorious Basterds

Do not apprehend to apprentice the history of Germany from this film. Although berlatarkan history, but this blur is alone a bald apparatus of Quentin Tarantino. Like Tarantino films another, these movies are sorted by chapter-chapter. Berlatarkan during the German activity of France, ambience presented so interesting. Amazing acting, Christoph Waltz of the role of Col. Hans Landa aroma up the all-embracing film. Unfortunately antic amateur Mike Myers appeared alone briefly in this blur as General Ed Fenech, British admiral who planned the operation Kino. Inglorious Basterd itself is a Nazi exterminator accumulation headed by Lt.. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), an American who whiz-whiz recruited Nazi exterminator. The adventure band is appealing crazy, alloyed with some barbarous scene, could agitate the belly with foolishness. Unfortunately, this blur seemed a bit affected endingnya. Why the abrupt Landa abstracts are so abundant and never can be bamboozled all of a abrupt about-face and so calmly tricked into actuality absolutely at the position on the wind. All-embracing the hell, this blur is account watching.

The aboriginal affiliate of this film, see French families who alive agilely actuality inspected by a Nazi officer, Col.. Landa. Perrier LaPadite (Menochet Denis), the arch of the ancestors was interrogated with ablaze babble from the colonel. At aboriginal the French language, which again switched to English. In psychoanalysis, and acceptable persuasion. LaPadite that the fugitives had been ambuscade Jews beneath his abode and eventually claimed the Nazis were slaughtering with a battery of weapons to the attic of the house. But there was one babe who survived fled, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent). For some reason, Col. Landa anesthetized this woman, admitting had aimed a gun at him while active to leave the French house.

The additional chapter, Fl. Aldo Raine, berorasi in advanced of his men, the Inglorious Basterds. They attacked the Nazis, and alien the flagship appearance of anniversary of anniversary member. Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger), a Jew who is consistently persecuting the frontman afore the Nazis dead him, Sgt. Donny Donowitz (Eli Roth) who was nicknamed The Bear as accepted menggebuki victim to death, and the added members. Every Nazi armament that are not consumed, apparent with the Nazi attribute on his forehead and appear to advance the acclaim of this accumulation Inglorious Basterds.

Shosanna Dreyfus, has developed and afflicted its name to Emanuelle Mimieux and adapted into a admirable woman amphitheater owners. Plan for Nazi annihilation by the assorted abandon in a cine amphitheater back the cine absolutely starts nationalists here. Nazi hero who starred in the blur had a little drove with Shosanna. For the account of absorbing the female, she additionally asked the film's premiere screening not be performed at the Ritz, but absent to a cine idol's heart. The plan is the premiere will be abounding by Adolf Hitler (Martin Wuttke) and several added Nazi frontman.

My admired arena is amid absolutely at a bar. Some associates of the Inglorious Basterds collapsed here, for his apathy in beard auspiciously bidding by some of the Nazis. Strange accents and feel pointing errors back the cardinal 3 becomes the activate at the bar gunfight that. Alone one survivor in the ablaze shootout. Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), an extra cum spy Inglorious Basterds. The actual troops were requested so they could disusupkan to premiere blur screening event. So that agnate mistakes do not happen, again they advance scenarios that Bridget as they accompanied the Italians.

Unfortunately, the aisle at the bar Bridget was auspiciously tracked by Landa. Many antic scenes action back the leg casting Bridget, accepted abatement hiking. Again psychoanalysis Landa amused the audience, authoritative Bridget could not say a word. Not to acknowledgment the appearance Landa added chatty chat with a night of Italian Aldo Raine and his stuttering.

All associates of the Inglorious Basterds has been able bomb auspiciously infiltrated every bend of the cinema. Landa auspiciously tracked. As already I Tell the cardboard at the alpha of this, for some acumen it Landa angry direction, and conduct negotiations to chargeless himself from accusations of war criminals. A analytical comedy was ablaze .. Nazis may be evil, but the tracker is telling. Thumbs-up to Quentin Tarantino with the carelessness of this cine ...

The Princess and the Frog

The Princess and the Frog is a 2009 American animated family film loosely based on E. D. Baker's novel The Frog Princess, which was in turn inspired by the Grimm brothers' fairy tale "The Frog Prince".[3] It is the 49th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics line, and the first of these films to be traditionally (2D) animated since 2004's Home on the Range. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, directors of The Great Mouse Detective, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules, and Treasure Planet, with songs and score composed by Randy Newman and featuring the voices of Anika Noni Rose (as Princess Tiana), Oprah Winfrey,[4] Keith David, Jim Cummings, John Goodman, Jenifer Lewis, Bruno Campos, Michael-Leon Wooley, Peter Bartlett and Terrence Howard. Princess Tiana is also notable as Disney's first African-American princess.[5]

The film, which began production under the working title The Frog Princess, is an American fairy tale, Broadway-style musical set in the French Quarter of New Orleans. A prince named Naveen (Bruno Campos) from the land of Maldonia is transformed into a frog by the evil scheming voodoo magician Dr. Facilier (Keith David).[6] The frog prince mistakes a girl named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. The kiss does not break the spell, but instead turns Tiana into a frog as well. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodooqueen of the deepest, darkest part of the Bayou, Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis), while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator Louis (Michael-Leon Wooley) and a hopelessly romantic Cajun firefly named Ray (Jim Cummings) along the way. The film opened in limited release in New York and Los Angeles on November 25, 2009, and released in wide on December 11, 2009.[7]

In 1912 New Orleans, a woman named Eudora (voiced by Oprah Winfrey) is reading a story to her daughter Tiana (voiced by Elizabeth M. Dampier) and her daughter's friend Charlotte La Bouff (voiced by Breanna Brooks) about the Frog Prince. Charlotte finds the story romantic, while Tiana proclaims she would never kiss a frog.

Years pass by, and Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose) becomes a beautiful young woman who works two jobs so she can save money to start her own restaurant, fulfilling her late father's dream.

Elsewhere, Prince Naveen (voiced by Bruno Campos) arrives in New Orleans from his home country, Maldonia. Naveen's parents have disinherited him due to his extravagant lifestyle, so he must either get a job or marry someone independently wealthy, such as Charlotte (voiced by Jennifer Cody). Charlotte's father Eli 'Big Daddy' La Bouff (voiced by John Goodman) is hosting a masquerade ball in Naveen's honor. Charlotte hires Tiana to make beignets for the ball, giving her just the right amount of cash needed to finally buy an old sugar mill that she wants to convert into her restaurant.

Meanwhile, Naveen and his valet Lawrence (voiced by Peter Bartlett) run into the shady Dr. Facilier (voiced by Keith David), a voodoo doctor. Inviting them into his emporium, Facilier convinces them he can make their dreams come true. However, neither man gets what he's expecting; Naveen becomes a frog, while Lawrence is given a voodoo charm that makes him look like Naveen. Facilier intends for Lawrence to marry Charlotte, after which he will kill Eli 'Big Daddy' La Bouff and claim his fortune.

At the ball, Charlotte flirts with “Naveen” as Tiana learns she may lose the mill to a higher bidder. Adding insult to injury, her costume is accidentally ruined. Charlotte, feeling sorry for her, gives Tiana a princess costume and a tiara so she can rejoin the ball. After Charlotte returns to the party, Tiana makes a wish on the Evening Star, only to find a frog sitting next to her. The frog is Naveen, who asks Tiana (believing that she is a real princess) to kiss him and break Facilier's curse. Tiana agrees, in exchange for the money needed to outbid the other buyer. However, instead of Naveen turning into a human, Tiana is turned into a frog herself.

The pair narrowly escape to a bayou, where they encounter Louis (voiced by Michael Leon-Wooley), a trumpet-playing alligator who longs to be human, and Ray (voiced by Jim Cummings), a Cajun firefly who longs for a sparkling light he calls Evangeline. They offer to lead them to the good voodoo priestess Mama Odie (voiced by Jenifer Lewis), who can undo the curse. Along the way, Tiana and Naveen begin to develop feelings for each other. Meanwhile, Facilier makes a deal with the voodoo spirits, offering them the souls of the people of New Orleans in exchange for finding Naveen.

Mama Odie tells the frogs that Naveen must kiss a princess before midnight in order for them to become human. Tiana and her friends return to New Orleans to find Charlotte, the princess of the Mardi Gras Parade. Naveen tells Ray he loves Tiana and is willing to give up his dreams for her, but before he can tell her directly, he is taken by the demons and brought back to Facilier.

After Ray tells Tiana that Naveen truly loves her, Tiana goes to the Mardi Gras parade only to find “Naveen” (which is really Lawrence) marrying Charlotte. Tiana escapes to a graveyard to be alone, while Ray and Louis are able to rescue the real Naveen and steal the charm. Ray finds Tiana and gives her the charm and attempts to hold off the demons so she can escape, but Dr. Facilier mortally wounds him. Facilier confronts Tiana and offers to make her restaurant dream come true in exchange for the charm. Realizing she would rather be with Naveen, Tiana refuses and uses her tongue to snatch the charm from Facilier and destroy it. The angered spirits claim Facilier himself as payment for his debts and drag him into their world forever. All that was left was a tombstone with Facilier's frightened face on it.

Naveen is explaining the situation to a bewildered Charlotte when Tiana finds them both. Tiana reveals that she loves Naveen and would spend the rest of her days as a frog to be with him. Moved by this, Charlotte says she will kiss Naveen anyway so he and Tiana can be together. But the clock strikes midnight before she can kiss him. Louis then meets up with the frogs, holding a dying Ray in his hands. Despite what happened, Ray shows happiness for the two before he dies. A funeral is held for Ray, after which another star shines brightly next to "Evangeline.”

Contented to live together as frogs, Tiana and Naveen are wed by Mama Odie. As they kiss, they are turned into humans, because through their marriage, Tiana is now a princess. The two return to New Orleans where everyone celebrates the wedding and Tiana and Naveen finally buy the restaurant. “Tiana's Palace” holds a gala opening, underneath the two shining Evening Stars.
Cast

* Anika Noni Rose as Tiana "Tia", a waitress and aspiring chef who dreams of owning her own restaurant one day. She believes in working hard, not waiting on a prince to come. Throughout the course of the movie she learns that what she wants is not what she needs and what she needs is her friends and Naveen. In the end, she and Naveen get married and open her restaurant.[8] She is the heroine of the film and is notable as Disney's first African-American princess.[5] Originally, Tiana was supposed to be called "Maddy."
* Bruno Campos as Prince Naveen, the 20-year-old handsome, smooth-talking, and fun-loving prince of Maldonia who comes to the French Quarter for the jazz scene and with whom Tiana and Charlotte both fall in love. Due to being new in the city, he is persuaded by the shady Dr. Facilier into taking a tour of his emporium, which results in a curse transforming him into a frog. Naveen learns throughout the course of the movie that money is not everything but friends and love are. In the end, he marries Tiana and helps her achieve her dream of getting her restaurant. It is not clear at the end whether or not his parents have restored his fortune, but it is presumably so.
* Jennifer Cody as Charlotte "Lottie" La Bouff, a southern débutante. She is spoiled but very kind and is Tiana's best friend. She desperately wants to marry a prince and be a princess. Charlotte is a little bit slow on discovering exactly what has been going on throughout the movie but still is one-hundred percent supportive of Naveen and Tiana's relationship.[citation needed]
o Breanna Brooks voices Charlotte as a child.
* Keith David as Doctor Facilier, aka "The Shadow Man", the main antagonist of the film. He is both a palm reader and a voodoo practitioner who tricks Naveen (by using deliberately misleading slang) into making a deal with him that turns the prince into a frog. As Facilier explains in the movie, his powers are limited in that he cannot conjure things for himself. He is also dependent on his 'friends from the other side' who take the form of the voodoo masks in his emporium and with whom he has to bargain for favors. He is somewhat afraid of these friends due to his debt with them. He attempted to pay it off by offering his 'friends' all the wayward souls of New Orleans after he would become the richest man in town. His shadow is able to move of its own free will and move objects like the voodoo spirits, suggesting it may be a familiar spirit given by his "friends". Supervising Animator Bruce W. Smith cited Facilier as the lovechild of his favorite Disney Villains Captain Hook from Peter Pan and Cruella De Vil from One Hundred and One Dalmatians. With his top hat, cane, suit and (temporarily worn) skull make-up, Facilier bears a resemblance to depictions of Baron Samedi, a Haitian voodoo spirit.
* Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie, a blind voodoo priestess who serves as the film's Fairy Godmother. She lives in an old boat nestled atop a giant mangrove tree in the bayou and owns a pet snake named JuJu. She cooks gumbo in a huge bathtub in her home and is able to see the past, present and future in its swirls. Her voodoo theme is sunshine.
* Jim Cummings as Ray, a lovesick Cajun firefly who knows Mama Odie and offers to help the frogs get to her. He is in love with the Evening Star, which he named "Evangeline" and thinks is another firefly. He has a Cajun accent. Sort of a running joke often shows him as Louis' superior.
* Michael-Leon Wooley as Louis, a jazz-singing alligator who is comical, manic, high-strung and plays the trumpet. His dream is to become human so he can join a jazz band. This character is very loosely based on jazz musician Louis Armstrong. The trumpet featured on the motion picture soundtrack is played by Terence Blanchard.
* Emeril Lagasse as Marlon, an alligator
* Kevin Michael Richardson as Ian, an alligator
* Peter Bartlett as Lawrence, Prince Naveen's pompous and jaded valet who has been pushed around all his life and is clearly annoyed with the carefree prince's antics. Deep down, he is jealous of Naveen's fame and life. When the two meet Dr. Facilier, the fiendish voodoo magician convinces him to become his ally after he predicts through tarot cards that in his future he would be "the man he always wanted to be".
* John Goodman as Eli "Big Daddy" La Bouff, a wealthy and friendly Southern sugar mill owner and father of Charlotte La Bouff.
* Oprah Winfrey as Eudora, Tiana's mother.[4]
* Terrence Howard as James, Tiana's late father, who instills work ethics on Tiana. A brief glimpse at a picture on adult Tiana's nightstand shows him in a military uniform. An attached medal suggests that he may have died during World War I.
* Don Hall as Darnell, a frog hunter.[9]
* Jerry Kernion as Mr. Henry Fenner
* Corey Burton as Mr. Harvey Fenner
