    Frollo's prayers are actually answered in this scene. When the guard opens the door, he is framed by a soft and peaceful light, symbolizing Heaven while the fireplace behind Frollo symbolizes Hell. The guard informs him that Esmeralda is gone, metaphorically giving Frollo the last chance to redeem himself by letting Esmeralda go and embrace the light. Frollo, however, turns away from the light and gives into his obsession, a decision that prevents his entry into Heaven while cementing his damnation.

    Two fun facts: the actor was unable to hit that last note initially. Rather than hire a separate singer like they did in other Disney movie songs (Scar in Be Prepared), he insisted he could do it, and took extra singing lessons until he was able to hit the note himself. Also, the initial animation had Esmeralda naked in the fire illusion, but it was considered too risqué, so the animators added an extra layer of fire-clothes rather than redraw it.

      It's the same melody, certainly, but while the Arch-deacon and his procession are singing the "Confiteor Deo", confessing to God that they are sinners and begging His mercy, Frollo is praising himself for his being so much purer than everyone else.
      Another pure juxtaposition; just as he is singing "It's not my fault!", the figures in red robes around him are singing "Mea culpa" (My fault) and "Mea maxima culpa" (My most grievous fault).
      It's a literal depiction of the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18: 9-14).

      That's most likely the reason behind its obscurity. It's unlike an average Disney film. Hunchback deals with extreme topics such as genocide, something no young child should be introduced to yet. If Disney released more successful films similar to Hunchback, films such as The Little Mermaid and The Lion King would be forgotten.

  • @katiehicks3535
    @katiehicks3535 3 года назад +436

    My favorite part of this song is it's connection to Quasimodo's song "Heaven's Light." Not only are they both singing about the same woman, and the titles seem to go together ("Heaven's Light/ Hellfire"), but the bells at the very end of "Heaven's Light" start to play the melody of "Hellfire" so they transition into each other. They're so thematically and tonally linked (because they are almost exact opposites- one a quiet little ballad and the other a dramatic choral piece and yet they are about the same thing- the singer's feelings for Esmerelda) its pretty fair to think of them as one song in two parts.

    • @samuelzuleger5134
      @samuelzuleger5134 9 месяцев назад +6

      The interlude, the priest and monks chanting, is actually a call to confession of sins...which Frollo seems to answer.
      In fact, the Latin chants throughout are directly linked. When Frollo is trying to blame anyone else, they are chanting "mea culpa," which means "my fault."

    • @loubug9309

    The Latin chanting at the beginning and throughout the song is a real prayer from the Catholic Mass. It is call the Confiteor, and here's the rough translation:
    *I confess to [insert really long litany of names that was cut out of the English translation] to you, Almighty God, and to my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts, my words, and my actions; through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault"
    They don't use the rest of the prayer in this song, but this bit is so beautifully utilized to present a juxtaposition between Frollo's (hooded dude's) words and his guilty conscience. Alan Menken didn't have to go *THAT* hard with the music in this "kid film" (even most Catholic kids wouldn't know that prayer in Latin!) but he did because he's Alan MF'ing Menken.

      Another interesting note about the Latin lyrics! At the end the chorus says "Kyrie Eleison", which means "Lord have mercy" in Ancient Greek. The Kyrie is also one part of the Requiem mass, and other bits can be heard in the first song of the movie (like "Dies irae"). The soundtrack of this movie is one of the best works Alan Menken has ever done, imo.

    Claude Frollo (the main guy in this song) was played by Tony Jay, a former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. He did a lot of other voice over work for Disney, but this was his main one. Agreed, hard to live up to his performance. I will say, however, that Patrick Page, who played Frollo is equally as powerful and wonderful. He most recently was Hades in the Broadway show, Hadestown.

    The movie was released in 1996, so it's actually not as old as you might think, but this scene is still a very impressive piece of filmmaking. Unfortunately, the biggest problem this movie has is keeping a consistent tone because when it veers too far out into goofiness, it really undercuts the weight of the drama, but when this movie is doing things well, it's astoundingly good.
    And the actor who played Frollo was named Tony Jay, and he was very much the MVP of this movie. Sadly, he died ten years after this movie came out.

  • @frankjuggaloheathen1035
    @frankjuggaloheathen1035 5 месяцев назад +1

    "Hellfire" is truly an outlier among Disney villain songs, not just because of the Bloody EPIC music, but because of the animation.
    Notice how other villain songs are animated; the villain is shown in a position of extreme power, they boast about their evil plans or their victory over the hero, they are surrounded by their fans providing backup vocals to boost their ego, and by the end of the song the villain appears to be on top of the world, at their absolute apex.
    With "Hellfire" it's quite the opposite. Frollo is singing of his lust for Esmeralda, which isn't his power, but his weakness. He is not surrounded by adoring fans or evil minions gazing up at him in awe and praising him, but by cloaked, hooded, faceless figures towering above him and looking down upon him on judgment, and literally contradicting all he says (i.e. Frollo says "it's not my fault" and the chorus responds with "mea culpa" which literally means "my fault"). And in the final few moments of the song, Frollo doesn't appear to rise to the top of the world, but instead seems to shrink before the hooded figures he knows are coming to collect his soul. This culminates in the final note being sung as the camera zooms out from up high, not just to show Frollo at a moment of pure weakness, but also as if through the eyes of God himself. And we are left looking down upon Frollo as he collapses in the shape of an inverted crucifix.
    This scene TERRIFIED me as a child, but now as an adult I can fully appreciate this scene and call it undoubtedly the BEST Disney villain song of all time!

    the late Tony Jay was the voice of Frollo. Also, you really should watch the whole movie. It's loosely based off of the novel by Victor Hugo. It was the author's first full-length novel he ever published in 1831. Victor Hugo was an amazing figure.

    So lemme tell you, watching this movie - and this scene in particular - in IMAX with full-scope THX sound was unbelievable. The latin vocals were so deep I remember hearing the ice rattling in my cup, and feeling my chair just vibrating with all that power. And the movie theater - which was packed full - was so absolutely silent at the end of this piece... my friends were all at just the quality of this scene.

    I'm sure others have mentioned it, but I thought I would share the latin lyrics. I am not Catholic so I am not familiar with this exact prayer and I'm going mostly off what I can hear, but I have studied Latin, so I can at least translate it in a literal sense. They're all sprinkled in throughout the song;
    Confiteor deo omnipotenti,
    Beatae Mariae, semper virgini,
    Beato Michaeli archangelo,
    sanctis apostolis, omnibus sanctis
    Et tibi pater
    quia peccavi nimis
    cogitatione
    verbo et opere
    mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
    Kyrie eleison (this is actually Greek but it's apparently common in latin prayers)
    I confess to almighty God,
    to Blessed Maria, always a virgin
    to Blessed Michael, archangel
    to the holy apostles and to all the saints
    and to you, Father
    that I have sinned
    in thought,
    word and action,
    my fault, my fault, my greatest fault,
    Lord have mercy

  • @Uzamakis_and_Uchihas
    @Uzamakis_and_Uchihas 2 месяца назад

    A fun fact I feel that people should know is about the music itself; throughout the entire film, all the music was made by one man in particular, Alan Menken, who made basically any Disney film you've ever seen (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Tangled, and even non-Disney things such as Little Shop of Horrors, Newsies, everything down to the sound effects in Home Alone). For this movie, in particular, he used Latin, which all of the Angels/Spirits are chanting. When Frollo says, "It's not my fault," they reply, "Mea Culpa," which translates to my fault. When Frollo says, "God have mercy on me," they reply, "Kyrie eleison," which translates to Lord Have Mercy. Though the original story, he has more compassion which is shown both in the French translation and stage play, instead of insisting it isn't his fault he pleads and asks the saints "Is it my fault?!"

    I don't think you should really watch hellfire for the first time without the "Heaven's Light" part. It really puts contrast to the song, and related to another song called "Bells of Notre Dame": "Who is the monster, and who is the man?"

    Just so you know, the movie came out in 1996, so it is actually twenty-five years old. I was a year old when it came out. Also, you may have missed the Latin chanting. The chanting between lines in the first verse says "And to you, Father, I confess that I have sinned, in word, in thought and in deed." The faceless hoods say "Mea culpa", which means "I'm guilty". You can actually piece together what the song was about if you find out more about Esmeralda, the girl he was singing about.

    This song is a master piece it's dark, and shows his inward struggle and how he let his wrong desire over take him. Which cab happen to anyone. I think when that guard came in it gave him a chance to turn around from his...weakness. Unfortunately though he ignored it and like I said let the darkness take him. Than because of that he caused his own demise unfortunately.
    And not to mention this song has been stuck in my head for two and a half months. I grew up with Disney and I rewatched it as I hadn’t seen it 20 years. Yeah and this is screwed up but Frollo looked so attractive in this song.

    Interesting that you mention the Hunchback not being in this number, because he sings the song just before that melts into Hellfire so much so that on the soundtrack, they’re the same track. This song, called “Heaven’s Light”, is almost the opposite, although they’re both singing about Esmerelda and their love for her. I just thought that was a neat thing to point out.
