In our The Hunchback of Notre Dame oral history, we take an in-depth look at one of the darkest and strangest Disney movies ever made.
I’ve been listening to the Hunchback score (the Legacy Collection edition is wonderful) for the past few days, which led me to this oral history of the movie I meant to read when it came out. My favorite parts:
On “Out There”:
On “Someday” vs. “God Help the Outcasts”:
Kathy Zielinski, supervising animator on Frollo, on “Hellfire”:
On Mandy Patinkin’s Quasimodo audition:
Have you seen Fantasia 2000 (1999)?
Yes
No
Haven’t even heard of this movie
mandyrosewolf: I wanted to share some footage of a very special evening. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to sing a few songs to honor my grandpa, Richard. This was such a magical night, and it was made possible by an amazing team of producers, stage directors, music directors, makeup artists, musicians, sound engineers, and more. I could not be more thankful to be part of such a talented and welcoming team at D23. I cherished this weekend so deeply, and I know that my grandpa heard us loud and clear as we came together to celebrate the love he spread to all of us ♥️🐭✨🔮🎵
“With the Good King, comes the spring and the bounty.
With the Bad King, comes the rain and the drought.”

🥀 I haven’t drawn Belle in quite a while. Back in 2020, I had drawn her holding Aladdin’s lamp. Quite similarly to what I do when drawing Ariel, whenever I’m drawing Belle, I refer back to drawings and scenes done by her two supervising animators, James Baxter and Mark Henn. Both animators handled Belle differently artistically. Henn mostly animated Belle while he was at Disney’s satellite studio in Florida and did more footage of her than Baxter. Henn’s scenes are of her first encounter with the Beast, her sneaking into the West Wing, the “Something There” sequence, and the Beast’s death and resurrection scene. Baxter depicted Belle as a mature and sophisticated and it proved a perfect balance with Henn’s interpretation of the character as a sweet, warm, and curious girl. 🥀
I somehow missed this when it was first out, but I always eat up these videos looking around the archives
