Frollo: "Please, God! Rid me of Esmeralda!" Guard that comes from thin air veiled in ethereal light: "sir, Esmeralda vanished." Frollo: "...SO ANYWAY I STARTED SEARCHING"
Sounds alot like us, like how many times have you said, nah that was stupid never again please I dont want to have this burden, but then sin again after
Like lots of religious people, he wants god to do not just as he asks but how he wants. He doesn't just want Esmeralda out of his life, that's a euphemism, he wants her dead to quell his lust for her. He's a weak man incaple of recognising his own faults, his pride leading to lack of humility and self-awareness being his undoing. He's much further from god than he thinks he is, possibly even more than the "common vulgar weak crowd".
It took some time to notice, but God actually did respond to Frollo's prayers to save him from Hell. When the guard tells him that Esmeralda has escaped, Frollo is essentially given one last chance for salvation. All Frollo had to do to save his soul was to let Esmeralda go and not give into lust and he will be granted entry into Heaven (symbolized by the light that illuminates the corridor behind the door). Unfortunately, Frollo rejects his entry into Heaven by giving into his lust and pride (symbolized by him facing the fireplace) and thus his fate is foreshadowed by having him pass out in the shape of an upside down crucifix. This movie goes to show that evil people can be saved and good people can sin. Frollo and Quasimodo's feelings for Esmeralda cause them both to sin. Frollo lusts for Esmeralda and Quasimodo is envious of Phoebus for "stealing" Esmeralda from him. The difference between Frollo and Quasi is that Frollo gives into his ego and lust while Quasi lets go of his ego and envy by humbly accepting that he can't have Esmeralda and is satisfied that she loves him like a brother.
@@vetarlittorf1807 not really. Unfortunately it seems he was a man who had convictions about God, but let his own pride and disordered passions drive him. There are momentary lapses of his ego which could point to a possible turning point and potential salvation, but he ultimately rejects it.
If they keep it the same and sing it harder it might work, if it's one song they can't mess up it's this one, hopefully Disney won't repeat be prepared live action version
Part of that is the animation. It’s actual drawings on top of drawings. So when the camera moves, it’s just showing you more of an image that actually exists. These CGI are not real. And when they move too fast, the camera doesn’t know what to focus on, because there’s nothing actually there. So it gets Re-rendered into indistinguishable mush.
Interesting trivia: This Villain Song was *SO GOOD* it basically killed the Villain Song trope for Disney movies for several years. After this movie came out, Disney never made another villain song for well over 13 years. This is how you know you're listening to a Magnum Opus. When they don't even bother to try to out-do it for the next one because they know it's futile.
The fact that he prays to get Esmeralda away from him so he doesn't sin, and is given the news that she got away, freeing him from her. What does he do? Chase after her.
Yeah, tis a common mistake of many heros and villains, always obsessed with making something go away, but when it goes away without their input, they chase after what they're obsessed with.
Ironically, this is Frollo's most sympathetic moment, the only time he recognizes something evil in him and prays for control of it. Makes me wonder if he might have been a good-man-gone-bad, before obsession got to him.
Nah, his first scene was him trying to murder a baby because it was deformed and murdering his mom with 0 regret. I don't know what happened in his childhood, but I feel 0 sympathy.🤣
Most people say Scar's "Be Prepared" is the best Disney villain song. While I'm not totally sure I disagree, this is on another level entirely. I honestly don't think the two can be compared. One is about a villain reveling in his evil, while the other is about a man finally surrendering and giving in to it entirely.
@LadyAstarionAncunin As a Lion King Stan who loves the movie with my heart and soul, I have to agree with this. This song makes me feel something that not even Be Prepared could.
Tbh this is my favourite kind of character arc. Where you can understand why a character makes the choice that they do, and you watch as that turns them into a villain. Anakin from Star Wars comes to mind.
Everyone's talking about how badass this song is, and although I completely agree, can we also give some recognition to the artists who animated and colored this scene? It looks absolutely incredible!
yea the gaurd her is basically supposed to symbolize god/mary listening to his prayer, and then frollo rejects the outcome of his wishes being granted, so the gaurd being so done with him is also mary/god being done with him
Frollo desires Esmeralda and yet he sees her as a evil sorceress who must be punished for her evil deeds. Excellent song with powerful words one of the darkest songs Disney has ever produced in history.
@@nathancruz9172 Exactly, and it's sad the both Frollo and Mother Gothel had songs that showed both their narcissistic and gaslighting behaviors. Frollo singing to Quasimodo, "Stay in Here", and Mother Gothel singing to Repunzel, "Mother Knows Best".
The figures in red are saying, "Mea culpa" and "Mea maxima culpa" which mean, "It's my fault" and "through my most grievous fault" while Frollo is proclaiming that his feelings are not his fault. "Mea culpa" is typically used to acknowledge that you have done something wrong but you admit to your faults. Frollo, the entire time, is completely denying any fault.
After reading many comments saying that this is the point when Frollo chooses to continue on to Hell, I would like to now say that, although he is not the protagonist, his decision here would be considered the “Shakespearean Climax”, when a character makes a choice that is a turning point in the plot.
The older Disney films and their legacies continue to grow in terms of the respect and appreciation they garner from me not just because of how good they were, but because they had such convictions about them and dared to showcase mature and challenging ideas in a way that we could never see today. Today people would be too offended by what villains like Frollo represent, and we'd never even see powerful scenes like this one.
"Today people would be too offended by what villains like Frollo represent" The fact that Frollo (and this scene) is more appreciated now argues the opposite, actually. Modern audiences *want* villains like this. They want villains that reflect what's wrong in people, what's wrong in society, villains that reflect all the murky moral stuff that mess us up, and for those villains to be presented in challenging, even loud ways. That's why audiences (especially the internet) love Thanos, Griffith, Regina George, Cersei Lannister, DIO, Father Enrico Pucci, Amy Dunne, Ledger's Joker, Terence Fletcher, Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal, Kira Yoshikage, Walter White, Johan Liebert, Ed Kemper (from Mindhunter) and so much more. The present is a weird, confusing, challenging time, and having a great villain clears things up for people. A great villain gives people some perspective, and that is very comforting. I'm thinking that the real reason for the lack of great Disney villains isn't because Disney is afraid to offend anyone, but because Disney has been trying to Pixar-ise its films. Back in the 2000s, Disney was having troubles, but Pixar was doing good. So, in the late 2000s, Disney tried to make their movies the Pixar way: more focus on interpersonal and internal conflicts than physical threats (like, for example, Lazlo was a villain in Toy Story 3, but, the main cast's parting with Andy, the themes of letting go, moving on, growing up, and growing out of things you love, all have more impact than anything Lazlo did as a villain -- and you have to remember, Lazlo put them in an *incenerator*). This mimicry of Pixar's storytelling led to Disney making "Tangled" and "Frozen", which were hits. And if you have a hit, then just repeat your technique in the next one, and the next one, and the next... You also have to consider the anti-hero trend in movies as well as the "therapy talk" movies (you know, those movies that are all about trauma, family trauma, existential crisis, depression, anxiety, etc) that are now popular. I think that helped Disney decide to stick to their new formula. And as we can see, the movies are still making bank. As long as this formula doesnt fail Disney Animation, they will not let it go.
@@omarcogle1965 Well, in the beginning of AoT, he was a hero, in the middle he was an antihero, by the end, he was a villain the same way Macbeth was the villain in the end of "Macbeth". Still the main character, but an authoritarian, extremist, "violence is the only way" villain who's willing to kill innocents just because they *might* become opponents in the future.
@@ken__2526 About Seasons 1 & 2, Erin was a Hero. Season 3, he was still a hero until he found out the truth that he was the one who killed his own dad, so he was in the in between Hero and Antihero stage. 4, the first few episodes, he was an Antihero, but near the end, the Villain of the story.
You know whats really interesting? In disney movies (usually from disny's Renaissance era) the protagonist/hero usually has an "I want" (ex: Ariel, Belle, Hercules) song while the antagonist/villain has an "I am" song (ex: Gaston and Ursula). But in this movie there are three "I want" songs: Out there, GHTO, but most importantly Hellfire. All three show us the desires and motivations of the characters (for example Esmeralda's selflessness) and through hellfire we see what's inside the villain's head when he gets an "I want song" (with a tad bit of an "I am" song at the beginning). He believes himself to be a righteous man, even thinking he is somewhat of a hero (or the protagonist) wiping out all the "sinners", and then mentally tortures himself when he becomes attracted to one of the "sinners". He is scared of these feelings, blaming anyone but himself, and begging to be free of Esmeralda. Then he gets his wish, Esmeralda has escaped and he can let her go. But he doesn't, he can't. This obsession has spread so much that he sprials further into madness and dives into the mindset of " if I can't have you no one can". To the point where he doesn't care how he is seen (the dude burns down alot of paris, and later breaks the sanctity by breaking in to kill Quasi and Esmeralda) as long as he gets Esmeralda one way or another. And that's been foreshadowed to be his downfall ever since this song, and I think he knows this but wants to continue pretending. Why else at 1:05 would he see red cloaked figures chanying in latin a prayer thats basically means "my fault"? Or at 1:50 have his prayer be answered? He knows he's been given another chance, but he still can't let go. So he does what he does best and ignores any guilt that may hold him back. Whats scary is that there have been real people who act like this, driven by obsession and greed. Who lets their emotions control them and sprial into madness. All the whole trying to acoid the consequences of their actions. The real reason frollo is scary is because he is human and we see that in Hellfire when frollo is at his most vulnerable. Like it or not frollo probably had the most depth of any disney villain
Disney: we want it to be family friendly The composer: THIS BURNING DESIRE IS TURNING ME TO SIN Disney: no, no! This song is for children! You can't talk about lust! The composer: GOD MADE THE DEVIL SO MUCH STRONGER THAN A MAAAAAAAN Disney: nooooooo! People accuses the company of being devilish and you write that line? Could you be less... controversial? The composer: BUT SHE'LL BE MINE OR SHE WILL '*inhales* BUUUUUUUUUUUURN! Disney: I give up, do whatever you want

Heads you go , Tails I go. Guard 1: *flips coin and comes up as Heads* Ha! You're going in! *Guard 2 groans and knocks door aggressively then goes in* *comes out after talking to Frollo* Guard 1: So..... how did he take it? Frollo: HELLFIRE! DARK FIRE! Guard 2: Not so well...
Frollo is one of my favorite Disney villains, mostly because of this song. It really tells of his religious path to hell, as his obsession for esmeralda puts him in a tough decision of either continuing to find her or just stop, hence why the guard came in the room, telling him that there is a chance to change and stop his obsession. This makes him easily one of the best villains of Disney.
He also is very prideful, seeing himself as above "the common vulgar weak licentious crowd" in his 'virtue'. And as it's commonly said, pride is mother of all sin; and pride comes before a fall.
I mean he was a terrible person before her. He just blames her for his evil vs actually coming to terms to his. This was a common theme of the Catholic faith back in the day and arguably still today with many high level positions in the church.
This is easily the most intense villain song in Disney history. Most other Disney villain songs have a gleeful tone, with the villain prancing around and cackling with either eager anticipation or triumphant joy. This song, on the other hand, is pure tortured, vengeful hatred and spite. The closest Disney villain song to it might be “Savages” from Pocahontas, which I also like, but how that film butchered the history of Jamestown and the Powhatan people weighs it down with some undesirable baggage.

Goddamn. Seeing clips of this movie as a grown ass man hit way harder than when I was a child. I remember that I didn't like the movie as a kid. Now I can kinda get why. The tone of this one is for sure the darkest Disney ever got hands down, and they absolutey went places before and after this. I remember being scared, being let down by how anytime there's any hope it's taken away. Definitely opressive themes well represented through its direction. Almost too much for me to process. But I think I should give it another try someday now. I think I'd be able to apreciate it with fresh eyes.
I hope you do! This is Disney’s magnum opus as far as I’m concerned. I was working on some things late last night and actually put it on. It does have its small moment of comic relief, but the majority of the film is quite serious and dark, and the score is impeccable. Excellent showcase of the nature of sin and the righteousness and mercy of God.
1:19 - 1:24 God didn't make lucifer evil, he chose to become evil by bragging about the fact that he's God's greatest creation and started taking advantage of his own choices. God created Lucifer and gave him the freedom of choice and he chose to follow his own path and rebel against God.
The only criticism I have for it, is that the majority of the animated film that accompanied it was not as dark or epic as this music number right here, this is a crime
Man, Disney now may as well be a whole different company now than when they made movies like this. There’s so much detail in the animation & art- and while 3D can have impressive detail too, it just doesn’t compare to type of movement & style that 2D has. The emotions shown so intensely, the lighting and way everything around him changes. I often feel that when 3D animation suddenly has giant characters grow in the scene, it doesn’t feel quite right. But it works so well in 2D like this. I’m not necessarily saying one is better than the other between 2D vs 3D; just that it’s a shame 2D isn’t ever used by Disney anymore & barely used by other mainstream studios. I’m definitely grateful that indie animation is becoming more prevalent due to us artists not only wanting 2D animation, but also because we want more meaningful stories that have a lot of depth, true villains, dark scenarios, etc.
I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out and I will admit that this song flew over my head. I really didn’t get what Frolo was talking about. (I was 11 years old) I got it a year later because I asked my mom what he meant and…. Yeah.

I remember seeing this movie in theater on a 1st grade (I think?) field trip. And this scene terrified and traumatized me so much that I tried to block the whole movie from my memory. Now, over two decades later, I can fully appreciate how scared I was; there is so much symbolism in the song and the animation that went over my head as a child, and now this has to be one of my favorite dark sequences ever, and arguably the BEST Disney villain song of all time!
Toby jay was one of the greatest actors ever . His voice was so remarkable. When he voices frollo he makes him more righteous and very sinful. When they do the live action I’ll watch this movie to honor Tony jay . Next year would be his 90th birthday 🎂. Rip Tony jay
I could make a 30 minute video essay on why this is the greatest Disney villain song to ever exist. Breaking down every little detail and go into depth with each one.
1:16 “It’s not my fault! If in God’s plan…he made the devil so much stronger than a man!” Wow, even these years later that crescendo still sends chills all over my body!
A Fun Fact for the musically appreciative. Tony Jay requested the note for the final 'BURN' to be lowered but Alan Menken refused, and Tony Jay had to take lessons until he could do it.
1:47 I like this small moment of the epic song Frollo asks repeatedly to be freed from this lust and temptation (notice the red and dark ambience growing & growing as his lust and hatred grows) ... and then a guard knocks , interrupting his lustful thoughts ... the room is now illuminated with light and the air of hope cooling down the hatred, the saint statues next to the guard represent God answered Frollo's prayer , God provided Frollo a narrow door/exit to his temptation (Matthew 7:13-14) (1 Corinthians 10:13) "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." But Frollo remained near the fire, he rejected the narrow road to redemption by his reply of "Get Out" ... Frollo's decision is made up, he wants Esmeralda (his lust and desires) over what is right (God's redemption) ... Frollo is irredeemable and his character is fixed. And this song foreshadows Frollo's defeat as he is literally sent to hell at the end.
I always imagine Frollo's VA and Esmeralda's VA staring at eachother like "... **Awkwardly inhales and exhales** Okay, well... **Clears throat** Anyways so-"
I don’t want modern Disney to touch this one, but I will let other movie studios to made this adaptation because the story behind it all is much deeper than you think.

Yeah, tis a common mistake of many heros and villains, always obsessed with making something go away, but when it goes away without their input, they chase after what they're obsessed with.
It’s because he wants her for himself and if he can’t have that then she should die.
Like any other stalker, unfortunately. They don't really want to be free. They enjoy the pursuit, even though it torments them.
Ironically, this is Frollo's most sympathetic moment, the only time he recognizes something evil in him and prays for control of it. Makes me wonder if he might have been a good-man-gone-bad, before obsession got to him.
The day turn to night.
You should find a bootleg of the stage musical. It makes him more sympathetic and adds depth.
Tell that to his hatred towards gypises since he did it first before he met Esmeralda.
....no, no he was not, considering the racism?
Nah, his first scene was him trying to murder a baby because it was deformed and murdering his mom with 0 regret. I don't know what happened in his childhood, but I feel 0 sympathy.🤣
Most people say Scar's "Be Prepared" is the best Disney villain song. While I'm not totally sure I disagree, this is on another level entirely. I honestly don't think the two can be compared. One is about a villain reveling in his evil, while the other is about a man finally surrendering and giving in to it entirely.
If anything, this and 'Be Prepared' are neck-and-neck, but this tips over the top for me because it's more layered.
@LadyAstarionAncunin As a Lion King Stan who loves the movie with my heart and soul, I have to agree with this. This song makes me feel something that not even Be Prepared could.
I love Be Prepared but I will gladly put it lower on a list if Hellfire is the one that surpasses it
Tbh this is my favourite kind of character arc. Where you can understand why a character makes the choice that they do, and you watch as that turns them into a villain.
Anakin from Star Wars comes to mind.
I like friends in the other side the most, the colors, the voice soooo good. But hell fire, be prepared and friends in the other side are my top 3.
Everyone's talking about how badass this song is, and although I completely agree, can we also give some recognition to the artists who animated and colored this scene? It looks absolutely incredible!
"Get out, you idiot!"
Guard's like "whatever" when he leaves. He sounds so done with Frollo.
yea the gaurd her is basically supposed to symbolize god/mary listening to his prayer, and then frollo rejects the outcome of his wishes being granted, so the gaurd being so done with him is also mary/god being done with him
“God have mercy on her..” chills every time

@@omarcogle1965 both.
@@nathancruz9172 Exactly, and it's sad the both Frollo and Mother Gothel had songs that showed both their narcissistic and gaslighting behaviors. Frollo singing to Quasimodo, "Stay in Here", and Mother Gothel singing to Repunzel, "Mother Knows Best".
@@omarcogle1965 exactly
The figures in red are saying, "Mea culpa" and "Mea maxima culpa" which mean, "It's my fault" and "through my most grievous fault" while Frollo is proclaiming that his feelings are not his fault.
"Mea culpa" is typically used to acknowledge that you have done something wrong but you admit to your faults. Frollo, the entire time, is completely denying any fault.
I think the inquisitors are saying what Frollo *should* have been saying to actually live piously.

After reading many comments saying that this is the point when Frollo chooses to continue on to Hell, I would like to now say that, although he is not the protagonist, his decision here would be considered the “Shakespearean Climax”, when a character makes a choice that is a turning point in the plot.
Saving this so I can use this song in an English assignment
So, for example, Romeo deciding to kill Tybalt and be "fortune's fool" after Mercutio is killed?
Frolo is a classic Shakespearian tragedy. Destroyed by his own fatal flaw and causing untold collateral damage as he spirals.

Absolutely
The older Disney films and their legacies continue to grow in terms of the respect and appreciation they garner from me not just because of how good they were, but because they had such convictions about them and dared to showcase mature and challenging ideas in a way that we could never see today. Today people would be too offended by what villains like Frollo represent, and we'd never even see powerful scenes like this one.
Disney needs to bring back the realistic villains, not the soft sugarcoated ones.
"Today people would be too offended by what villains like Frollo represent"
The fact that Frollo (and this scene) is more appreciated now argues the opposite, actually. Modern audiences *want* villains like this. They want villains that reflect what's wrong in people, what's wrong in society, villains that reflect all the murky moral stuff that mess us up, and for those villains to be presented in challenging, even loud ways. That's why audiences (especially the internet) love Thanos, Griffith, Regina George, Cersei Lannister, DIO, Father Enrico Pucci, Amy Dunne, Ledger's Joker, Terence Fletcher, Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal, Kira Yoshikage, Walter White, Johan Liebert, Ed Kemper (from Mindhunter) and so much more. The present is a weird, confusing, challenging time, and having a great villain clears things up for people. A great villain gives people some perspective, and that is very comforting.
I'm thinking that the real reason for the lack of great Disney villains isn't because Disney is afraid to offend anyone, but because Disney has been trying to Pixar-ise its films. Back in the 2000s, Disney was having troubles, but Pixar was doing good. So, in the late 2000s, Disney tried to make their movies the Pixar way: more focus on interpersonal and internal conflicts than physical threats (like, for example, Lazlo was a villain in Toy Story 3, but, the main cast's parting with Andy, the themes of letting go, moving on, growing up, and growing out of things you love, all have more impact than anything Lazlo did as a villain -- and you have to remember, Lazlo put them in an *incenerator*). This mimicry of Pixar's storytelling led to Disney making "Tangled" and "Frozen", which were hits. And if you have a hit, then just repeat your technique in the next one, and the next one, and the next... You also have to consider the anti-hero trend in movies as well as the "therapy talk" movies (you know, those movies that are all about trauma, family trauma, existential crisis, depression, anxiety, etc) that are now popular. I think that helped Disney decide to stick to their new formula. And as we can see, the movies are still making bank. As long as this formula doesnt fail Disney Animation, they will not let it go.
@@ken__2526 Would you also consider Eren Yeager as a villain as well?
@@omarcogle1965 Well, in the beginning of AoT, he was a hero, in the middle he was an antihero, by the end, he was a villain the same way Macbeth was the villain in the end of "Macbeth". Still the main character, but an authoritarian, extremist, "violence is the only way" villain who's willing to kill innocents just because they *might* become opponents in the future.
@@ken__2526 About Seasons 1 & 2, Erin was a Hero. Season 3, he was still a hero until he found out the truth that he was the one who killed his own dad, so he was in the in between Hero and Antihero stage. 4, the first few episodes, he was an Antihero, but near the end, the Villain of the story.
You know whats really interesting? In disney movies (usually from disny's Renaissance era) the protagonist/hero usually has an "I want" (ex: Ariel, Belle, Hercules) song while the antagonist/villain has an "I am" song (ex: Gaston and Ursula). But in this movie there are three "I want" songs: Out there, GHTO, but most importantly Hellfire. All three show us the desires and motivations of the characters (for example Esmeralda's selflessness) and through hellfire we see what's inside the villain's head when he gets an "I want song" (with a tad bit of an "I am" song at the beginning). He believes himself to be a righteous man, even thinking he is somewhat of a hero (or the protagonist) wiping out all the "sinners", and then mentally tortures himself when he becomes attracted to one of the "sinners". He is scared of these feelings, blaming anyone but himself, and begging to be free of Esmeralda. Then he gets his wish, Esmeralda has escaped and he can let her go. But he doesn't, he can't. This obsession has spread so much that he sprials further into madness and dives into the mindset of " if I can't have you no one can". To the point where he doesn't care how he is seen (the dude burns down alot of paris, and later breaks the sanctity by breaking in to kill Quasi and Esmeralda) as long as he gets Esmeralda one way or another. And that's been foreshadowed to be his downfall ever since this song, and I think he knows this but wants to continue pretending. Why else at 1:05 would he see red cloaked figures chanying in latin a prayer thats basically means "my fault"? Or at 1:50 have his prayer be answered? He knows he's been given another chance, but he still can't let go. So he does what he does best and ignores any guilt that may hold him back.
Whats scary is that there have been real people who act like this, driven by obsession and greed. Who lets their emotions control them and sprial into madness. All the whole trying to acoid the consequences of their actions. The real reason frollo is scary is because he is human and we see that in Hellfire when frollo is at his most vulnerable.
Like it or not frollo probably had the most depth of any disney villain

😭
Idk if you wrote like this on purpose or if you just forgot to write "trouble" lol
Frollo is one of my favorite Disney villains, mostly because of this song.
It really tells of his religious path to hell, as his obsession for esmeralda puts him in a tough decision of either continuing to find her or just stop, hence why the guard came in the room, telling him that there is a chance to change and stop his obsession. This makes him easily one of the best villains of Disney.
He also is very prideful, seeing himself as above "the common vulgar weak licentious crowd" in his 'virtue'.
And as it's commonly said, pride is mother of all sin; and pride comes before a fall.
@@Levyafan I agree entirely with that statement.
I mean he was a terrible person before her. He just blames her for his evil vs actually coming to terms to his. This was a common theme of the Catholic faith back in the day and arguably still today with many high level positions in the church.
Meanwhile outside the guard is telling the others "I dunno, man. He was just, singing to himself or something..."
This is easily the most intense villain song in Disney history. Most other Disney villain songs have a gleeful tone, with the villain prancing around and cackling with either eager anticipation or triumphant joy. This song, on the other hand, is pure tortured, vengeful hatred and spite.
The closest Disney villain song to it might be “Savages” from Pocahontas, which I also like, but how that film butchered the history of Jamestown and the Powhatan people weighs it down with some undesirable baggage.
Well, "Savages" was about an impending racial war, which is heavy stuff as well
3:00: Frollo dies. Well, maybe for a moment.

Goddamn. Seeing clips of this movie as a grown ass man hit way harder than when I was a child. I remember that I didn't like the movie as a kid. Now I can kinda get why. The tone of this one is for sure the darkest Disney ever got hands down, and they absolutey went places before and after this. I remember being scared, being let down by how anytime there's any hope it's taken away. Definitely opressive themes well represented through its direction. Almost too much for me to process. But I think I should give it another try someday now. I think I'd be able to apreciate it with fresh eyes.
I hope you do! This is Disney’s magnum opus as far as I’m concerned. I was working on some things late last night and actually put it on. It does have its small moment of comic relief, but the majority of the film is quite serious and dark, and the score is impeccable. Excellent showcase of the nature of sin and the righteousness and mercy of God.
Has anyone noticed at 1:05 when he preaches back towards the choir the light shining on him is literally a coffin? Lovely foreshadowing.
I guess it’s meant to symbolize that Frollo will end up dying because because of his obsession
1:19 - 1:24 God didn't make lucifer evil, he chose to become evil by bragging about the fact that he's God's greatest creation and started taking advantage of his own choices. God created Lucifer and gave him the freedom of choice and he chose to follow his own path and rebel against God.
Sounds like Satan isn’t too different from man
I mean, he did create Lucifer, with all the angel powers so he is stronger than a man.

The best Disney villain song, dare I say the best Disney song.
This is probably one of the only Disney songs that’s impossible to criticize
The only criticism I have for it, is that the majority of the animated film that accompanied it was not as dark or epic as this music number right here, this is a crime
Man, Disney now may as well be a whole different company now than when they made movies like this. There’s so much detail in the animation & art- and while 3D can have impressive detail too, it just doesn’t compare to type of movement & style that 2D has. The emotions shown so intensely, the lighting and way everything around him changes. I often feel that when 3D animation suddenly has giant characters grow in the scene, it doesn’t feel quite right. But it works so well in 2D like this.
I’m not necessarily saying one is better than the other between 2D vs 3D; just that it’s a shame 2D isn’t ever used by Disney anymore & barely used by other mainstream studios. I’m definitely grateful that indie animation is becoming more prevalent due to us artists not only wanting 2D animation, but also because we want more meaningful stories that have a lot of depth, true villains, dark scenarios, etc.
Is nobody talking about this songs’ crazily epic orchestrations at the end. Towering achievement.
I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out and I will admit that this song flew over my head. I really didn’t get what Frolo was talking about. (I was 11 years old) I got it a year later because I asked my mom what he meant and…. Yeah.

thank you so much for this great 4k version!
I ‘wish’ they made Disney movies like this nowadays.
I remember seeing this movie in theater on a 1st grade (I think?) field trip. And this scene terrified and traumatized me so much that I tried to block the whole movie from my memory. Now, over two decades later, I can fully appreciate how scared I was; there is so much symbolism in the song and the animation that went over my head as a child, and now this has to be one of my favorite dark sequences ever, and arguably the BEST Disney villain song of all time!
This is S level tier for villain songs.
4K was so needed for this thank you

Mary: Nah…
Toby jay was one of the greatest actors ever . His voice was so remarkable. When he voices frollo he makes him more righteous and very sinful. When they do the live action I’ll watch this movie to honor Tony jay . Next year would be his 90th birthday 🎂. Rip Tony jay

0:10 that’s right.
The live action remake was shelved by Disney because the modern iteration of Disney doesnt have the stones to make anything dark or genuine anymore.
This song was the peak of Disney animation and music. After that they never achieved the same…

1:16 “It’s not my fault! If in God’s plan…he made the devil so much stronger than a man!”
Wow, even these years later that crescendo still sends chills all over my body!
I feel like the studio had to put a bunch of comedy and dumb stuff into the movie, just to keep and balance out this masterpiece of a scene.
Even then the Comedy was well done and didn’t ruin the films tone
@@Justachannel-u9wfor the most part i guess, but the goofy yell stuff and the annoying gargoyle were just not fun to watch
A Fun Fact for the musically appreciative. Tony Jay requested the note for the final 'BURN' to be lowered but Alan Menken refused, and Tony Jay had to take lessons until he could do it.
1:47 I like this small moment of the epic song
Frollo asks repeatedly to be freed from this lust and temptation (notice the red and dark ambience growing & growing as his lust and hatred grows) ... and then a guard knocks , interrupting his lustful thoughts ... the room is now illuminated with light and the air of hope cooling down the hatred, the saint statues next to the guard represent God answered Frollo's prayer , God provided Frollo a narrow door/exit to his temptation (Matthew 7:13-14) (1 Corinthians 10:13) "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
But Frollo remained near the fire, he rejected the narrow road to redemption by his reply of "Get Out" ... Frollo's decision is made up, he wants Esmeralda (his lust and desires) over what is right (God's redemption) ... Frollo is irredeemable and his character is fixed. And this song foreshadows Frollo's defeat as he is literally sent to hell at the end.
All the actors in this movie had amazing singing voices especially the men 💅🏼✨
so good and dark that it can’t even be flagged as youtube kids
I always imagine Frollo's VA and Esmeralda's VA staring at eachother like "... **Awkwardly inhales and exhales** Okay, well... **Clears throat** Anyways so-"
I don’t want modern Disney to touch this one, but I will let other movie studios to made this adaptation because the story behind it all is much deeper than you think.

@@omarcogle1965you have my interest. Which villains are they?
@@ryanangelastro504 Okay, Frollo represents Lust, Scar represents Envy, Ursula represents Sloth, Cruella Deville represents Greed, Hades represents Wrath, Gastov represents Pride and Governor Ratcliffe represents Gluttony. Those are my picks of OG Disney Villains who represent the 7 Deadly Sins. Who are your picks?
Haven't watched this in almost 20 years. As an adult now and watching this. Almost forgot I was watching a Disney movie. They don't make them quite as intense anymore 😅
