Bruno Campos is the voice of a jazz loving Prince Naveen in The Princess and the Frog

Brooke Christopher sits down with Bruno Campos to discuss plays the voice of the Prince and The Frog in the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog. The prince in THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG takes center stage like never before. This prince is on a journey of discovery all his own and Bruno Campos was tapped to give Naveen his voice. Hes got some issues, says Campos of his character. Hes got a lot of sass. Hes got some wit. He can be a little feisty, but he grows throughout the movie. Thanks to Campos and Randy Haycock, supervising animator for Prince Naveen and Frog Naveen, the prince comes to the big screen with enough charisma to wow audiences worldwide. I had a roommate in college who liked the ladies, you know, says Haycock. I used to watch him, because he was really good with the girls and I wasnt, and I noticed that he was a leaner. He was always leaning in, he always got really close. If girls were sitting on a chair, hed sit next to them and hed lean in. If they were standing, hed find something to lean on. I always have Naveen leaning on his hand or leaning on something because thats that confidence, you know, hes not stiff at all. Hes very loose, because hes very cool and confident about who he is. The alluring qualities of New Orleans drew PRINCE NAVEEN (voice of Bruno Campos) from his far-off kingdom of Maldonia. Although spoiled and irresponsible, Naveen has an irresistible charm and joie de vivre that captivate those around him, and a passion for the Dixieland jazz being popularized by Paul Whiteman, Jimmie Noone, Earl Hines, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong. Naveens supervising animator Randy Haycock has animated classic Disney characters, including Simba (The Lion King) and Powhatan (Pocahontas). Disney has a long tradition of princes, but weve never had a prince that really influenced a heroine, says Haycock. It was always love at first sight. For once we have a girl that meets a guy and it follows a romantic-comedy idea where the couple meet and they really dont like each other. Like anyone, Naveens flaws are actually part of his virtues. The heroine has a flaw, too—she doesnt know how to appreciate life. She doesnt know how to enjoy herself. And thats what Naveen teaches her, Haycock says. He teaches her to settle down once in a while and simply appreciate whats going on. Have some fun, enjoy, be happy with what you have around you. A BlackTree Media Production Thank you for watching!
