First Appearance The Swan Princess

Jean-Bob is a male green frog who came from France. He is Odette's, Derek's, Speed's Alise's, Prince Li's, Princess Mei Li's Chen Ru's and Puffin's friend. He believes that he is actually a prince at first before he was changed into a frog and he always wants Odette to kiss him in order to turn into a prince again, but since Odette is under Rothbart's spell, she can't do that because if she kisses someone other than Derek before the spell breaks, she will be stuck as a swan forever and she will be stuck at Swan Lake forever.

Sometimes, he gets himself into trouble and his friends always help him to get out of a sticky situation. He is willing to sacrifice himself for his friends to show that he has what it takes to be a friend.

Movie Appearance[]

The Swan Princess

He befriended with Odette while she was under Rothbart's spell and he always wanted her to kiss him so that he can turn into a prince but because she is under Rothbart's spell she cannot do this because if she kisses someone other than Derek before the spell breaks, she will be stuck as a swan forever and she will be stuck at Swan Lake forever. He helps Odette by taking the map from Rothbart's castle and he helps Derek by waking him up and giving back his bow that he retrieves from the bottom of Swan Lake to defeat Rothbart. He finally gets a kiss from Odette in the end and sees the reflection of a prince in a pond, believing it to be him in human form, unaware that the reflection belongs to another prince that was above him at the time. Believing himself to be human, Jean-Bob presents himself to the people at the ball, not knowing that he was a still a frog and he disgusts the people at the party. He makes one woman scream and faint.

Suddenly, they see a green fire ball coming from Zelda's lair to kidnap Odette. Odette tries to escape the fire ball but she gets captured along with Jean-Bob as a stowaway. Derek sees the ransom note that was delivered by Whizzer secretly and he rides off to his mother's kingdom to find the missing piece of the Forbidden Arts. Jean-Bob tries to free Odette by grabbing a knife that was downstairs to cut Odette loose from the ropes that Zelda had tied her up with and he was not caught on the way back up to Odette to give her the knife and he was not caught when he cut Odette loose but they were both caught when they were trying to get out of Zelda's cave. She trapped Odette and Jean-Bob in a green fireball and she turned Odette into a swan once more. Now having the the power to destroy, Zelda creates a red fire ball to kill Odette. Puffin and Odette tired to avoid the fire ball, as Derek battles with Zelda and breaks her wand in 2. After that, Zelda was gone forever.

I don't take advice from peasants.

Strange-looking bird.

To Puffin: Hello! This is your wake-up call!

Quiet! I cannot concentrate.

(Speed): You’ve come up with some dumb ideas, Jean-Bob, but this one’s a doozy.

Hah! Go ahead and laugh. I’ll get her to kiss me and when she does…

(Speed): Then she does, poof! You’ll change into a prince. I know, I know. You’ve told me. Why don’t you just give her these flowers? These are pretty.

Hah, what, they love duds. I don’t want these flowers, I must have those. When she learns that I have risked my life for them, the kissing will not stop.

Kiss. Concentration. Flowers. Kiss. Concentration.

Ah! Hurry, hurry! Move up, move up! No, not that — close! Aaaah! Grab to me! Grab to me! Hold my arm! Hold my leg! Hold my – hold it, hold it, hold it. Oh thank you, Odette. Thank you. Let me have that. Silence, you savages. Haha!

(Odette): You’re being sneaky again, Jean-Bob.
