It was. I saw it as a child. My parents were used to seeing "happy" disney movies like the lion king and didnt like it but I found this one grabbed my attention more. I had to struggle to understand what was really going on and in a way I felt that it expanded my world view as a child.
I agree. I like some pop music as much as anyone but it really is a shame that Disney doesn't do more of this. I've found fan made content that lives up to this magical kind of thing.
My eyes teared up when watching this again. Not only is this one of my favorite Disney movies(and one of the best ones), but this is so accurate. The good stuff in this movie is really damn good. The fact the MPAA decided to rate this G shocks me. It’s just too mature. This opening shakes you to your core and prepares you for (hate to sound a little tacky) CINEMA. And that’s just the first ten seconds.
I’ll still never forget when I first saw this in theaters, and how the bells sounded echoing thru! It was also with an added fog horn outside. I grew up on Lake Superior so it was a pretty normal sound (taken down now as too many newbies complained about it being too loud) but mixed with the bells it was amazing!
Honestly the opening of this movie is the most powerful of all the Disney openings, in my opinion. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie of all time, but the songs of Notre Dame's powerful bells in the beginning just hit home for me every time.
I just relizied when he says "a tale of a man and the monster.", he's referring to frollo as the monster and Quasimodo as the man. Throughout the movie it's up to us to discover who is the man and the monster in this tale. Clever, it's a good way to test children's insight. Appearances can be deceiving and misleading.
and at the end, in the final song, he changes the lyrics to: "What makes a monster and what makes a man?" letting the audience know that he never reffers to quasi modo as a monster, instead he was talking about frollo.
This opening when i was a kid caused me to think, "I want to go there." 15 years later i went to Paris and saw Notre Dame in person. This opening gives me chills still. But i will say if i never saw this movie seeing Notre Dame would not have been as exciting as it was because i saw this movie.
You’re one lucky traveler. Had you gone a few years ago, you’d have seen dear Notre Dame after her terrible fire. You can’t say that watching this movie after the fire that occurred isn’t great for being able to still see Notre Dame in a state of splendor.
Just Waao!!! The very introduction 00:00 - 00:34 before the song starts, is just amazing! When the big bell starts soft, and then get louder and louder. The sound of that, is just mindblowing. Like something from an ancient world that are starting to come to life. The song, and the rest of the movie is also fantastic! But this intro is perfection! :)
Here are lyrics of the choir at the beginning if you don’t know: Olim (Someday/Once) Olim, Deus accelere (Someday, God speed/Long ago, God arrived) Hoc sæculum splendium (This bright millennium/In this age of brightness) Accelere fiat venire olim (Let it come someday/He will come again soon)
Definitely the most underrated movie of the Disney Renaissance. I understand why it might not get as much attention as its contemporaries cause of its dark tone and a lot of people prefer their Disney movies light and fun, but if anything, I think that should be a reason this film should get more credit. Sure, it has some typical Disney tropes, but it also took a lot of risks and definitely stands out among the Disney animated canon. I’d also argue that it has some of the best visuals and animation of the entire Renaissance era.
And Also Here's The Latin Prayer At 0:00 - 0:34 With English Translation: Olim Olim Deus Accelere Hoc Sæculum Splendium Accelere Fiat Venire Olim - Someday Someday God Speed This Bright Millennium Let It Come Someday
im sorry but this is hands down one of the most amazing disney movies to date. i love the lion king as much as any 90s kid, but the hunchback of notre dame is just amazing. the story is perfectly wonderful and dark, the animation is just breathtaking and the music is glorious. i pray this movie gets its live action debut. its just so amazing!
thank you for posting. Anyone here after the Notre Dame fire in 2019? Wish I could have seen it in person before the fire, but hopefully the reconstruction will be worthy of the original.
Yes, I never see anyone talking about that opening theme that is recurring all throughout the movie, and most notable in Hellfire. It has this godly presence to it that is very scary and amazing.
Everything about those first 50 seconds is breathtaking cinematic magic. The pure beauty conveyed at the beginning with the ethereally echoing Franciscan monk chants. Then those thunderous bells joining in, swelling to a crescendo, and a perfectly timed bell chime to coincide with the iconic 'Walt Disney' text and that fabulous, olde worlde Medieval text. The overwhelming 'Hellfire' chorus as we first glimpse the sight of the gothic majesty of Notre dame, rising through those otherworldly, heavenly clouds. It creates such an incredibly atmospheric opener that perfectly expresses the themes of the film: innocent goodness, fear, evil and salvation. It calls to mind those great religious epics from the Hollywood golden age. Absolute perfection of cinematography with music, and an intro every bit as good as those from The Lion King and Beauty & The Beast.
I love it when films quietly build up when the screen is black, no background except the logos passing but the sounds that prepares the audience for the film. Then it gets louder and louder till we get the first frames. It's an amazing way to start a film imo and the Hunchback of Notre Dame is an amazing example.
@@laramacdonnell6304 I'm planning to bringing the 2-D animated style from Disney once again and feel like family friendly like this while I'll be a movie director for my dream job.
The opening itself is so epic and sets the tone for the whole film perfectly. The shot of the sky and Notre Dame, ugh, it's so beautiful. This and Prince Of Egypt have such incredible openings. God, I fucking miss when animated movies were like this.
I - came from Vietnam, watched this movie since I was little and remembered how amazed I was by the Cathedral. I promised to myself that one day I had to come there and discovered every corner of this awesome construction. However, now here I am, in France but I dont have any chances to fulfill my dream anymore... Already planned to visit it in August but... What happened today to Notre Dame Cathedral was a tragedy... So sad...
I don't recall if this movie did win any Academy Awards unlike The Lion King. If it didn't back then, it really should of cause this movie was seriously amazing especially this intro is incredibly awesome in my opinion.
Jordan Cole Alan Menken did receive an Oscar nomination for best comedy/musical score. He lost the award to the film score of "Emma". He also got a Golden Globe nomination for best original score but lost to "The English Patient".Nonetheless, IMO, he deserved an Oscar for his mind-blowing score in this film. It's quite rare to hear such power in film scores such as this.
Dang...2 great earns...lost to two other great films, well least both Emma and The English Patient were great movies too. Still I think this movie should of won at least an award.
No it didn't. And thus never has the same ever-lasting appeal as "The Lion King", which really was the apex of their Renaissance era and still one of their most popular films 25 years on. As for the "Hunchback", I remember liking it (a lot) but I wouldn't call it a classic. While I thought the voice-acting and animation was great along with its soundtrack (like this), I remember it having a very confused tone, never knowing what it wanted to be. One minute it was scary, next minute it was funny, next minute it was serious, next minute it was goofy etc.
I only just watched this movie for the first time this year - I’m 20 - and this opening song and the last notes of it had my jaw on the floor. This movie is so underrated.
I just now realized that the intro motif is also sampled in Frollo’s Hellfire( the part of “she will be mine or she will burn). I am no musician so it took me a while. I adore the sheer amount of thoughtful details that went into this film. Every time I rewatch a scene there are more things to decode, more references to discover, more layers to unravel. This is the mark of a true masterpiece!
0:02-0:33 Out of all the Disney movies intros in the 90s, The Hunchback of Notre Dame takes the prize for being the most menacing. I get chills just hearing those bells ringing probably they sound like THUNDER!!! I bet it would even intimidating to hear the bells ringing inside a movie theater with surround sounds. 😨 😨 😨
I love the way the bells start ringing, & the music as the bell tower, where Quasimodo is kept prisoner, under cruel Frollo’s orders, for most of his life, is shown. “And some say the soul of the city’s the toll of the bells,” “The bells of Notre Dame.” Clopin says “Hush!” & his puppet rubs his head.
This is up there with the Lion King for greatest intros. That scene of Notre Dame Cathdral poking through the clouds as the bells ring. Powerful. The fact this movie was darker makes it so much better.
0:34 does anyone else wish that whole piece of orchestral gold lasted longer? I hear that and every once of creative juice in my body rushes like a flood. As much as I love the rest of it, that swell starting at the time I love the most.
As I listen to this, I close my eyes and imagine myself, cloaked and hooded, running towards that grand Cathedral, up the stairs to listen closer to the magnificent, powerful, holy, majestic bells...
I love this movie and the music a lot including the chorus singing and the bells sound effect. I will be movie dircetor, when I have a dream job. I already turn 20 years old on last Saturday.
Unpopular Opinion: This opening is better than The Lion King's. Everything about it from it's amazing music, Clopel's singing narration, the gorgeous animation, and the intense adult storytelling makes this in my opinion, one of the greatest openings in film history.
The first part of the intro and the bells ringing sends a chill down my spine plus the suspense is a good part of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris France.
When a sinner realizes he can hide his true self from man, women, and children alike, but he can never hide his true nature from God’s eyes who sees everything he has done and ever will do.
Anna LCAL45 lion king is the best movie I agree...but I still thing Hellfire is by far the best Disney song, it’s on a whole different level, it’s not a fair comparison due to how different the songs are.
I just noticed a symbolism that starts at 0:34, you can see the top of the cathedral sticking out from the clouds, the sky is adorned with rays of light and it almost looks like a renaissance painting... it's a representation of the Kingdom of God. What's more, the music sounds majestic and powerful during those seconds until the camera lowers and shows us what the Kingdom of Man would be like.
Quasimodo's body was not that of a monster. The whole point is there's nothing wrong with him and that terms like monster are simply something people misuse for those they are ignorant towards.
Magi V Correct. As somebody with a disability I have assumptions made about me all the time and I’m forever hearing assumptions about others with disabilities. We have feelings just like everybody else and those feelings get hurt
As a kid growing up in the '90s I can attest to how much the Renaissance flicks feeled like genuine blockbusters for kids. Adults had their Pulp Fiction and Titanic, we had The Lion King and Hunchback. Even the posters in the theater hallways looked epic af (yeah, Disney had a knack for those back in the day). I greatly appreciate Pixer of course but even in their prime they were never able to recreate that aura of epicness surronding their movies-all the same, that was probably never their intention to begin with. Funny to recall how I used to think my parents only went with me and my sisters to keep an eye on us since they couldn't possibly enjoy those pesky kids' movies. And now, as I rewatch these movies as an adult, all I get is even more appreciation for them, for how mature they are while also accessible to even the youngest demographics.
I LIKE THE Hunch Back of Notre Dame, grew up watching this. The story gives a good moral about how we need to accept people in Society and not to judge who they are and accept them too.

the 90’s really was that era for disney! 🙌🏾
jazzypo1 I agree
Hallelujah to that
I mean. It was the Disney renaissance so yea
Agreed
So is the early 2000s but now it's just-
It must have been very impressive inside a movie theater with a surround sound system
It was. I saw it as a child. My parents were used to seeing "happy" disney movies like the lion king and didnt like it but I found this one grabbed my attention more. I had to struggle to understand what was really going on and in a way I felt that it expanded my world view as a child.
It was. It blew my mind as a kid. The cathedral looked even more grand in the theaters too, like you were physically walking around inside there.
I remember going to see it in theaters with my cousin, and the way the bells sounded was incredible! It was like Notre Dame was right there.
So were all of you guys born in the 19'0s?
It was
This intro is literally other worldly it feels ethereal, you can feel the bells resonate through your entire body
Yeah
I agree. I like some pop music as much as anyone but it really is a shame that Disney doesn't do more of this. I've found fan made content that lives up to this magical kind of thing.
My eyes teared up when watching this again. Not only is this one of my favorite Disney movies(and one of the best ones), but this is so accurate. The good stuff in this movie is really damn good. The fact the MPAA decided to rate this G shocks me. It’s just too mature. This opening shakes you to your core and prepares you for (hate to sound a little tacky) CINEMA. And that’s just the first ten seconds.
Whenever I hear this I picture God being summoned
this basically puts all other disney movie intros to shame. that's some serious musical theater there!
0uterspaced 0ut The Lion King intro was quite powerful too. But I have to agree this intro is quite powerful.
@@jmsg_PR
Yea this was good but nothing beats Lion King
@@hardy2k11 this is cutting it close
I’ll still never forget when I first saw this in theaters, and how the bells sounded echoing thru! It was also with an added fog horn outside. I grew up on Lake Superior so it was a pretty normal sound (taken down now as too many newbies complained about it being too loud) but mixed with the bells it was amazing!
Ayla Zelana Grebiel that’s awesome hearing this from a fellow michigander, hopefully lol
Even the first 32 seconds alone are a cinematic masterpiece.
Dark theater hearing those first 2 bell rings
the best 32 seconds of the movie lol
Classic
It's a dark prelude to a very beautiful story.
Honestly the opening of this movie is the most powerful of all the Disney openings, in my opinion. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie of all time, but the songs of Notre Dame's powerful bells in the beginning just hit home for me every time.
If you like movies with such tone I really recommend Prince of Egypt. Deliver Us (Opening song) is just like this but I dare even say more powerful
Oh no doubt! I've seen the Prince of Egypt before and I personally think it's the best of Dreamworks' films. It's a powerful and moving film.
Those are Gregorian Chants, Catholic Praises
Agreed. I was just about to comment how the sound of the bells with the chanting gives me the biggest chills.
WarriorBazooka I love the lion king 2 it's the best.🦁
It suck that the album version don't have the bells in the background, so much more powerful with the bells.
The Movie Mania agreed, it’s harder to find the version with the bells
The Italian version does
The Movie Mania exactly what I was thinking
They even drown out clopin at the end with the choir and that is such a crime
It’s called THE BELLS Of Notre Dame, why the heck would you take out the bells! 🤦🏻♀️
I just relizied when he says "a tale of a man and the monster.", he's referring to frollo as the monster and Quasimodo as the man. Throughout the movie it's up to us to discover who is the man and the monster in this tale. Clever, it's a good way to test children's insight. Appearances can be deceiving and misleading.
looooooooool
and at the end, in the final song, he changes the lyrics to: "What makes a monster and what makes a man?" letting the audience know that he never reffers to quasi modo as a monster, instead he was talking about frollo.
Thank you, Captain Obvious !
Beauty and The Beast also in France.
Adam/Beast becomes a man again while Gaston becomes a beast.
Nice logic
I never noticed this before, but it's interesting how the movie starts with the song "Hellfire" which is a song about Frollo's desires...
Actually Frollo's "Hellfire" music, or at least part of it, was based from this, "Bells of Notre Dame."
well, the tune is throughout the entire movie, and it is used in hellfire but not specific to the song
It's not specific the song hellfire the movie is based on the same soundtrack and they just change it
The Hellfire motif is repeated like a gazillion times throughout the movie.
it sounds like the melody of someday! ❤
every time i watch this film, GOD DAMN what an opening intro!
*****
i especially love the Latin singing choir
The Latin choir is essential to the situation that's happening in France
Ah, Ah, Ah..watch it. You're in a Church.
And to think the opening song was a last minute addition!
Olim deus accelere
Hoc saeculum splendidum
Accelere fiat venire
Olim...
This opening when i was a kid caused me to think, "I want to go there." 15 years later i went to Paris and saw Notre Dame in person. This opening gives me chills still. But i will say if i never saw this movie seeing Notre Dame would not have been as exciting as it was because i saw this movie.

Just, that first gong before the aaaaaaahhs. It freaking gives me shivers every time.
Scooter Dracon *gregorian style latin chanting and church bells
At 0:31 you can sing USA
Can you do that too
Me too
Just Waao!!! The very introduction 00:00 - 00:34 before the song starts, is just amazing! When the big bell starts soft, and then get louder and louder. The sound of that, is just mindblowing. Like something from an ancient world that are starting to come to life. The song, and the rest of the movie is also fantastic! But this intro is perfection! :)
I agree, great introduction that is seemingly ominous and heavenly
0:17-0:33
I love the loud bells because they sound menacingly POWERFUL like THUNDER!!! BTW, that's my favorite part out of this intro.
Totally agree. It must have been mind blowing hearing in the theatres. Especially when it is dark
The shot of the cathedral above the clouds is the best shot in all of the Disney movies. It'sthe music that does it.
It's like heaven in such a great depiction
Here are lyrics of the choir at the beginning if you don’t know:
Olim (Someday/Once)
Olim, Deus accelere (Someday, God speed/Long ago, God arrived)
Hoc sæculum splendium (This bright millennium/In this age of brightness)
Accelere fiat venire olim (Let it come someday/He will come again soon)
Huh, I didn’t know the song had two different meanings to it! Another reason as to why I love HBoND

Finally, someone said it!
My thoughts for Notre dame. Fighting for its life against the fire.
vive la Notre dame !!!!!!
Hell fire
Don’t worry, Quasimodo’ll save the day!
Nicely Done.
honestly it's just a building. theres actually people dying and you all are more concerned about a building

Olim Olim Deus Accelere

Someday Someday God Speed
This Bright Millennium
Let It Come Someday
M. Cloak Haha, all these years and I'd never thought about what the opening chant meant. Perfect! 😂
It's the lyrics from the someday song that is played on the credits. It was also a deleted song from the film.
I love that "Someday" was still squeezed in there even though it was cut
the theme can also be heard briefly in scenes where Esmeralda appears.
Someday the cathedral will be restored
The music in the beginning still gives me chills to this day 🙆🏻♀️😳
0:02-0:33
The choir men and the Bells.
I loved to stared ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They can't do alive action now that Tony Jay, the v.a for Frollo is dead. it just won't be the same
@@ellecullen3986 As French. I wouldn't allow it. Our Real Notre Dame was severely hit by the Flames
I've been to France and heard the bells chime 5:00 pm and it was one of the best moments of the trip! It was so cool, and the cathedral is stunning!
Those first few seconds with the Gregorian choir are single-handedly the most hardcore opening to any Disney Film
thank you for posting. Anyone here after the Notre Dame fire in 2019? Wish I could have seen it in person before the fire, but hopefully the reconstruction will be worthy of the original.
Sis me
I'm here after the fire
Uh... everyone that will EVER come to this video will be here after.
I am here too you are not the only one
i highly doubt the reconstruction is going to do it any justice
Unfortunately the running contenders for the new roof and spire and all made of glass and nothing like the original.
If this film only lasted from 0:00 to 0:55, it would still be one of my favorite Disney films.
That intro still sends chills down my spine.
Yeah
Yes, I never see anyone talking about that opening theme that is recurring all throughout the movie, and most notable in Hellfire. It has this godly presence to it that is very scary and amazing.

This is be the best Disney's opening movie EVER, I still have goosebumps with the church singers and the bells intro
0:15 Disney logo 1985-2006 and thanks for posting the whole movie by the way.
Unpopular Opinion: This opening is better than The Lion King's. Everything about it from it's amazing music, Clopel's singing narration, the gorgeous animation, and the intense adult storytelling makes this in my opinion, one of the greatest openings in film history.
Anything said in Latin sounds epic. Anything sung in Latin. Sounds immortally powerful ! :)
Just as POWERFUL as those Loud Bells @ 0:17-0:33.
The first part of the intro and the bells ringing sends a chill down my spine plus the suspense is a good part of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris France.
When a sinner realizes he can hide his true self from man, women, and children alike, but he can never hide his true nature from God’s eyes who sees everything he has done and ever will do.
When he's undone by the "sin" he tried to erase. Justice is hauntingly poetic sometimes.
Shivers! The bells and the chorus. Incredible
Best Disney song from the best Disney movie
mine is on out there and heaven's light
@angus yeah, it is strangely and hauntingly beautiful.
Underscore Zeus
What!?
The best Disney songs are Circle of Life and Can you feel the love tonight and the best Disney movie is Lion King!
Anna LCAL45 lion king is the best movie I agree...but I still thing Hellfire is by far the best Disney song, it’s on a whole different level, it’s not a fair comparison due to how different the songs are.
I'd have to give it to God Help the Outcasts.
The best intro ever, so epic. Lot of childhood memories💕😢
I just noticed a symbolism that starts at 0:34, you can see the top of the cathedral sticking out from the clouds, the sky is adorned with rays of light and it almost looks like a renaissance painting... it's a representation of the Kingdom of God. What's more, the music sounds majestic and powerful during those seconds until the camera lowers and shows us what the Kingdom of Man would be like.
Not really symbolism when it is that plain obvious.
This intro was insane!
Insanely Astonishing.
God Disney has no balls now this was the magnum opus of 90's Disney
I hate 3D animation, it was so great to see a diferent animation from Disney every year
Notre Dame just had a fire today 😭
Actually obsessed with this intro!!😍😍👏🏼
This is a darkest story
Chills every single time.
A man and a monster,
I think we all know Frollo was the real monster in the body of a man, While Quasimodo was a man in the body of a monster
That's sadly the truth of our society.
That was the point. Quasimodo was treated like a monster but was kinder than all the supposed 'normal' people outside.
Quasimodo's body was not that of a monster. The whole point is there's nothing wrong with him and that terms like monster are simply something people misuse for those they are ignorant towards.
Magi V Correct. As somebody with a disability I have assumptions made about me all the time and I’m forever hearing assumptions about others with disabilities. We have feelings just like everybody else and those feelings get hurt
thank god Notre Dame has been saved today
The back tower collapsed.
@@StephenLuke right. the back of the cathedral is gone, but the bell towers still stand
@@StephenLukethe back tower was added in the 1850s
Pray for her, for tonight she is in fire 😭
BINKYBOOHOO here for the same reason 😭
She's alive.
Forever the best intro to any movie
Stay strong old girl 💔🇫🇷
I miss the 1990s. Though's were the good old days. I always wonder where & how in the world they got the church bell sound effects for this movie.
As a kid growing up in the '90s I can attest to how much the Renaissance flicks feeled like genuine blockbusters for kids. Adults had their Pulp Fiction and Titanic, we had The Lion King and Hunchback. Even the posters in the theater hallways looked epic af (yeah, Disney had a knack for those back in the day). I greatly appreciate Pixer of course but even in their prime they were never able to recreate that aura of epicness surronding their movies-all the same, that was probably never their intention to begin with.
Funny to recall how I used to think my parents only went with me and my sisters to keep an eye on us since they couldn't possibly enjoy those pesky kids' movies. And now, as I rewatch these movies as an adult, all I get is even more appreciation for them, for how mature they are while also accessible to even the youngest demographics.
one of my favorite song and favorite world to visit in dream drop distance
I LIKE THE Hunch Back of Notre Dame, grew up watching this. The story gives a good moral about how we need to accept people in Society and not to judge who they are and accept them too.
I love ho hellfire probably the darkest weirdest song in Disney is the main theme for HoND one of the most iconic Disney movies
I remember when the roof to Norte Dame caught fire. I was in tears watching the news.,
Easily one of the greatest openings of a Disney movie. They don't make em like this anymore.
This was my fav movie when I was a kid😭♥️
