Come one, Come All

Happy April Fools! I thought this song fit for today. 1996, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Clopin sings this song, with a dance by Esmerelda. Hunch back of Notre Dame deviates substantially from the book. Mostly by making Quasimodo, Esmerelda, and Phoebus kinder and allowing more people to live. This was also one of the most mature Disney productions, despite being rated G. The movie covers Sexual themes (Alot. This will be explored more in depth with Hellfire) Infantcide, Hypocrisy, Prejudice, and social injustice. This was also the first Disney movie to use the word "Damnation"



Clopin is played by Paul Kandell. There isn't much on his wiki page (yes, that's where I get most of my info. Or from podcasts) but it notes he was nominated for a Tony (Broadway's Oscars) for his portrayal of Uncle Ernie in The Who's Tommy.

Tony Jay plays Frollo, the villain in this movie. He passed away in 2006, but left volumes of work to his credit. His other Disney credits include Monsieur D'arque, the asylum owner in Beauty and the Beast, Shere Khan in Tale Spin and Jungle Book 2, Death in Darkwing Duck (one time role), The Wraith in the Mighty Ducks, the Magic Mirror in House of Mouse, and the Narrator in Treasure Planet. Outside Disney work includes a Yeti in Captain Planet, Baron Mordo in Spider-Man the Animated series, a lieutenant in Fallout, Magneto in X-Men Legends, The narrator in "Austin Powers, the spy who shagged me" and The History Channel series Civil War Combat. and The Narrator for Nausicaa: Valley of the wind. This is on top of Shakespeare work and his live action work as in Lois and Clare: the New Adventures of Superman and Star Trek: NExt Generation

Also, Kevin Kline plays Captain Phoebus. While he started in "Sophie's Choice" (and got nominated for best new comer) he also took on roles such as "The Pirate King" from Pirates of Penzance, won an Oscar for his work in "A fish called Wanda" (A comedy!), the Road to El Dorado, The Emperor's Club, De-Lovely, The Pink Panther (1, John Cleese took over his role for 2) and Guy Noir for A Prairie home Companion. And beyond this, many roles on Broadway.
