Description
SPOILERS MAYBE? IDKffffff I are geeking out hard over this movie. (Uploaded a couple days ago to 's lovely spam party.
Prince Naveen from Disney's "Princess and the Frog" Royal Family Tree.
LOLOL Besides arguing how NOTblack!!!1 Naveen is, people also argue about what the heck kind of fictional country Maldonia really is, if he's SpanishPortugueseBrazilian something (based on his accent) or ArabicIndianMorrocoAlgerian something (based on his facial features and name). LOLHAY HOW ABOUT HE'S ALL THESE BEAUTIFUL THINGS, GUISE? :3
(tree based on clues in Movie)
Not to mention he's a great character with an actual personality yayyyy
Even if it's haphazard, it has some interesting potential for backstory.
I may adjust later??

Haha, I was just talking about what nationality he was with a friend. Nice little concept here.

Yeah, I thought it was funny, too, how they invented a random country for Naveen
I love how you drew each member of the family tree--my favorites are the man and woman in the upper right corner. The man's facial expression is so warm and loving. Though, I also love the expression on the man in the upper left
And Naveen's little brother is so cuuute

I like this tree of yours very much. I enjoyed the movie and Naveen made me laugh because he was such a loser. XD You must have such an imagination to be able to come up with this. Very creative, and I do so like your style. It's very friendly.

Does it matter where in the world you pamper a prince?
As always, I like your art style Isaia. Somehow sketchy and detailed at the sametime. Almost like its written on age-old payprus.

I haven't seen this movie, but I have an idea. If he sounds Spanish, but looks Arab, he could be a Moor! You know Arabs lived in Spain for a long time

I haven't seen the movie yet (whyyyy does the UK have such late releases for Disney stuff? D: ) but I really like this piece! XDb

Very cool! Each sketch seems to have it's own identity and own personal history.

I think the inside ppl at Disney have verbally confirmed that Maldonia is in the Mediterranean. It's a wordplay on the nations of Malta and Macedonia.
Which means that Naveen could be a descendant of the Carthaginians, who were racially ambiguous. Much like the ancient Egyptians, they shared their genes with the Caucasian Phoenicians (ancestors of today's Sephardic Jews)who settled most of the pre-GrecoRoman Mediterranean, and Negro Sub-Saharan Africans.

=lolol typo
*ideas of what Maldonia is or could be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's cool! I too have already heard of Maldonia being a name mix of Malta + Macedonia. :33
It's also hilariously clever that they made Naveen ambiguously brown. But no matter what he is, he's still that same character, and everyone will have their own complaints (aka on movie reviews) or ideas of what
I also love how you mentioned he could be a mix of Subsaharan African/Phoenican and Greco Roman and/or Algerian, I love creating character designs and costume designs from those X3

Oh god his dad's mustache, I lol'd so hard. I can imagine him wiggling his nose and it brushing back and forth like one of the knights from the old Sword in the Stone movie.
Love your art.

...That's awesome. I loved that movie, and now I can't get that image out of my head.

Yes. Yes. Very creative theory...
I was wondering what or where (exactly) Maldonia was...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is really good! And, I admit, I was hoping that Prince Naveen would have been from a strictly Indian background.. I think that a blending of ALL of those gorgeous genes is a much better explanation!

This is quite beautifully done. I love the detail that has gone into the characters, the costumes. I love your drawings like this.
And Naveen just looks so... I don't know, dashing. Cocky. Something. ; )

I like your version of Naveen's family and how sketchy the whole tree is.

He is of middle eastern descent....so you have it right.

So, basically if the daughter of Aladdin and Jasmine married the son of Snow White and Prince Charming.
Tiana is one lucky lady.

beautiful! I loved the american-japanese family tree you did a few years back, and I'm a fan of this tree as well. Genetics are kind of interesting
The Spanish-Turkish blend you drew here would make sense for what the people of Maldonia would be!

I saw this picture before I saw the movie and thought that Naveens little brother was adorable, and then had to see him.
He didn't show up throughout the entire movie, so I was sad and thought he didn't exist and he was a fan-character. BUT when he showed up at the end I got so excited. XD He was so adorable! XD
I love Naveen, his character was hilarious.

Great, great work. I really love it. The movie is really good.
Well, it was different. First time a male main character shows personality.

I saw the movie a few days ago with my siter and a friend (FINALLY! Waiting for the ads to end was the HARDEST PART!) It was great!
And yes, Naveen IS adorable. Super-charming, good-looking and full of energy.
