Disney Counterpart
Sam is the counterpart to Dr. Facilier, the main villain of the Princess and the Frog. In the movie, he is a voodoo man that tricks Prince Naveen into becoming a frog, and is 'Friends' with spiritual entities from 'The Other Side'. This is shown in his similar hat and clothing, gloves, necklace, and the skeleton markings on his skin reminiscent of Facilier's glow in the dark skeleton makeup during his song.
