Bells of Notre-Dame [French] with french & english subitles

This one was harder than Hellfire ! The language was more difficult, especially during the conversations (it was quick !) But I hope the result will be nice and useful !
By the way, I would like to put a video like this one on the Court of Miracles (I heard many people were looking for a translation) but I don't have the music...if anyone is interested in sending it to me, I would be very grateful ! Please contact me !

[@GabyGeorge1996]

I love how in this version it's "is the man a monster, is the monster a man" rather than just "who is the monster and who is the man"

[@melissaorion6803]

"L'homme est-il un monstre ou le monstre un homme?" Magnifique.

[@SunnydaleArchives]

The music is amazing but the French version just elevates the song to brilliant. I usually like both the original and the French dub for Disney, but this is one of the rare films where I find the French version is far better.

[@unter9982]

+SunnydaleArchives the french translation lack of some message... like : 2:40 in the video, it's 'judge claude frollo fights vice and sin of a filthy world who must be purged" I think it's more epic, but the original is " and he saw corruption everywhere, except within" that say that frollo is focused on the sin out but don't mind the sin inside of him.

[@lohphat]

My company sent me to live in Paris around the same time the movie was released. I arrived with no French skills so I used this movie to help my ear and practice cadence and pronunciation. To me, it's the original. When I returned to the US and heard the English version it sounded thin in comparison; the French version is much richer and emotional. The voice cast is perfect. Claude Frollo just sounds EVIL. Sorry Tom Hulce, your French counterpart just "fit" better.

Hehe, I find it mildly amusing that they used Clopin's English VA for that final note. But I suppose the fact that ANYONE could reach that note is something of a miracle. :P

[@choinolwen8927]

If you follow the French voice, you can hear the singer (Bernard Alane) doing this final note. She's just covered by the English VA added and the chorus.

Its because the hunchback is a French Classical play. The song was written for a stage not a screen...in French

Wonderful hearing it in its intended language. One of my favorite songs and Disney movies.

[@sarahl9398]

I've long loved this movie as a child and now in my thirties, I visited Paris and saw Notre Dame today (2/20/22 - albeit it was temporarily closed off from entering). Remembered this song and felt so many emotions stir in me again. It really made me feel in awe of its Majesty.

[@silpheedTandy]

i am trying to learn french, and these are helpful. however, i am so annoyed by the lyrics fading out so early, that i couldn't stand watching the video. for future videos, my request is that you don't have the lyrics fade in and and out at all. thanks.

[@jnor2096]

I really like this version, and the translation. however, it's not the same, since they changed the lyric "and he saw corruption everywhere, except within", because that basically summoned up Frollo in one sentence

[@ManaPeerfr]

Yes, it's what I regret about this version.

[@Disney65Fan]

One of the best disney movies of all time

[@Imabuzzingbee]

The songs from the actual play/musical are really good, too.

[@Dragenthor]

Paris se réveille quand les cloches sonnent, Dans les tours de Notre-Dame, Le pêcheur s'empoissonne, le mitron mitronne, Sous les tours de Notre-Dame ! Le bourdon éclatant mille tonnerres, La clochette légère tinte clair. Et l'on dit que c'est l'âme de Paris, Qui s'enflamme quand sonnent Les Cloches de Notre-Dame ! Clopin, parlé : -Écoutez les enfants, c'est magnifique, non ? Tous ces sons qui selon l'heure change d'humeur et de couleur ! Parce que vous savez, les cloches ne sonnent pas toute seule ! (Ah non ?) Non, petit démon ! Tout la-haut, haut, haut, dans le sombre cloché, vie le mystérieux sonneur de cloches. Qui est donc cette créature ? (Qui !) Comment est-elle ? (Comment !) Pourquoi demeure-t-elle la-haut ? (Pourquoi !) Clopin vous dira tout. Ceci est l'histoire, l'histoire d'un homme et d'un monstre ! Clopin, chant : Dans la nuit noire commença notre histoire, Sur les quais de Notre-Dame Les gitans : -Fais le taire, tu veux ! -On va s'faire repérer ! -Chut, mon petit ! Clopin : Quatre gitans abordèrent à la rame, Sur les quais de Notre-Dame ! Un gitan : -Quatre deniers pour vous faire entrer dans Paris ! Clopin : Un piège attendait les Bohémiens, Menacés par les forces du mal, D'un puritain, inhumain, Au cœur plus dur que le métal... Un gitan : Le juge Claude Frollo ! Clopin : Des cloches de Notre-Dame ! (Chœur : Kyrie Eleison) Clopin : Le juge Claude Frollo combat le vice et le pêché ! (Choeur : Kyrie Eleison) Clopin : D'un monde corrompu et qui doit être purifié ! Frollo, parlé : Menez cette immonde vermine jusqu'au palais de justice ! Un garde : Toi là, qu'est ce que tu caches ?! Frollo : Quelques larcins sans doutes, qu'on le lui prenne ! Clopin : Cours gitane ! (Chœur : Dies irae, Dies irae Dies illa, Dies illa Solvet saeclum in favilla Quantus tremor est futurus Quando Judex est venturus) La gitane : Asile ! Pitié je demande asile ! (Choeur : Quantus tremor est futurus Quando Judex est venturus) Frollo : Un bébé ? Ah ! Il est monstrueux ! (Chœur : Solvet saeclum in favilla Dies irae, Dies illa) L'Archidiacre : Non ! Clopin : Cria l'Archidiacre. Frollo : Ce n'est qu'une créature démoniaque que je renvoie à l'enfer auquel elle appartient. L'Archidiacre : Vous qui souillez par les armes et le sang, Le parvis de Notre-Dame Frollo : Elle s'est enfuit, je l'ai poursuivis, je suis innocent. L'Archidiacre : Vous voulez rougir du sang d'un enfant, Le parvis de Notre-Dame ! Frollo : J'ai la conscience tranquille. L'Archidiacre : Racontez vos mensonges à vos mignons ! Qu'ils acclament la pureté de votre âme ! Vous ne pourrez cacher vos coupables actions, Aux regards des saints, Aux purs regards de Notre Dame ! (Chœur : Kyrie Eleison) Clopin : Et Frollo sentit son pouvoir glisser dans les flammes (Chœur : Kyrie Eleison) Clopin : De l'enfer qui menaçait sa puissance et son âme Frollo : Que voulez-vous? Archidiacre : Élevez cet enfant comme s'il était le vôtre! Frollo : Quoi? Je devrais m'enchaîner à cet être abominable? Très bien, mais qu'il reste caché dans votre église Archidiacre : Dans l'église? Mais où? Frollo : Peu m'importe Enfermez le quelque part à l'abri des regards Au sommet des tours peut-être Qui sait les voix du seigneur son impénétrables Cette créature pourrait si le ciel le veut bien Servir demain Clopin : Et Frollo affubla l'enfant d'un nom horrible Un nom qui veut dire difforme, Quasimodo Quand les cloches sonnent Les cloches questionnent Dans les tours de Notre Dame L'homme est-il un monstre Ou le monstre un homme Et les cloches sonnent , sonnent Sonnent, sonnent, sonnent Sonnent , sonnent , sonnent A Notre Dame

Le doubleur est vachement bien choisi je trouve

[@midgetwthahacksaw]

[@thevampirefrog06]

Which makes you wonder if the change was made on purpose, because a Frenchman is more likely to be familiar with the original book. It's always interesting how context changes from culture to culture.

J'adore cette version des cloches de Notre-Dame❤, encore plus que la version espagnole que j'ai entendue dans mon enfance.

[@ArtsyChick24]

I hate it when people pronounce Notre Dame as Nohtur Daim. In a review of Hunchback someone commented that they mispronounced Notre Dame and that it's real pronunciation is Nohtur Daim. Oh, America!

[@clementcachico5240]

Can I have the link of this video ? I want to see someone ignorant trying to be smart...

[@Momolulu1994]

Well, technically it's nostre dâme, but it's a old pronounciation

[@Theroha]

Beautiful, though something always gets lost in the translation. There is a big difference between "This creature could be useful soon" and "of use to me." The original English deeply sets Frollo's arrogance and ego as his defining features from the very beginning.

[@Jomateo44]

In the french canadian version, the translation is more faithful and Frollo says "of use to me" ;)

[@PapagenoJuan2]

[@ell496]

Awesome, thank you so much for making this video!

[@Zarastro54]

If you listen closely @ 6:07, they switch to the original english singer's voice. Guess the French singer couldn't hit that not and hold it as long as the original guy did, but honestly who else can?

[@RLeem7b5]

Glad to see someone was observant to that

[@AgatheH]

He sang so amazingly the other 6'24 minutes before that I can forgive him, I think

[@Zarastro54]

***** No you can hear the voice cut out for the last long held note. The frenchman sung the rest of the song.

[@Zarastro54]

***** @ 6:06 you can hear the cut to the original singer. The moment that the word "Dame" is said, right on the "D". It literally sounds exactly the same because it is the same. Have you heard the American version? Unless the Frenchman, whose voice is deeper anyway, just decided to mimic the original singer's voice exactly.

[@AgatheH]

bh5496 Right, right, Bernard Alane's voice was too deep to hit the last note, so what ? All this argument for only one note of the song ? Hope it was worth it...

[@secretly98]

Very good version(:

[@MrLizestelle]

Omg it doesn't matter what language I listen to this in I am covered in goosebumps this song is just incredible side note, this movie is dark! (tho light compared to the original) when did the disney company read this and think , hmm we should make the movie with really heavy subject matter into a childrens movie, with still some pretty damn heavy subject matter. I never liked this movie as a kid , but when I re-watched it as an adult I loved it a lot.

[@SnowKitzMuhahaha]

Do you suppose Disney's Frollo is this way to put emphasis on the fact that he is the bad guy you're supposed to hate?

[@Theroha]

@Malon4Ever I need to read the book some time. I guess Disney films work best when they can create a definite villain. For a more faithful version of Frollo, we could always ask Hayao Miyazaki to give his interpretation. His characters are always more balanced.

[@josephmcklemurry369]

French "elle" is linked to "Créature", so "elle" would tanslate to "it", not "she".

[@SapphireLove101]

Does Clopin's voice actor dub him in both the English and French version of the film? They sound awfully familiar...

[@dragonpride6997]

SapphireLove101 In a wayEnglish voice: Paul Kandel French voice: Bernard Alane (At the end Bells of Notre Dame, Bernard couldn't hit the last note, so they used Kandel's Voice)

[@dragonpride6997]

***** I don't think so. Everyone agrees its Paul Kandel's last note and Bernard Alane and Disney FR apparently admitted it was Kandel at the end of the end But I shall check out Mr. Costa's work as well

[@CocoCat274]

BelleLaFannette I know this is an old thread, but DragonPride699 is right: A lot of foreign dubs used the original English for that last note because it's incredibly hard to hit (and then to sustain for so long). Sounds to me like the French did that, too.

[@Vampirewolfking]

Yes, not many are able to sing that last note.

[@MonsterMo44]

@imhappy123 très bien, merci beaucoup pour me donner* la chance d'améliorer mon* français. on dit pas "donner-moi" sauf quand on parle en imperatif ou ce serait "donnez-moi" ou bien "donne-moi". la on fait l'inversion plutot. et le francais est bien sur masculin. en fait ca fait combien de temps que tu etudies le francais?

Why does Clopin use 'elle' when he knows Quasimodo to be male?

[@XxFluffyxX]

Inkyminkyzizwoz Yeah weird

[@jordanediraison3466]

As a french I can answer: Clopin used "elle" because he was talking about the "creature" making the bells ring and in french creature is a feminine word so he had to respect the grammar accordance despite he was reffering to Quasimodo. PS: sorry for my english

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

Actually, your English was fine except for the slight misspelling of 'referring'!

I don't think Clopin would say "hell" in a Disney movie . . . .

[@williamlong5092]

Theres a song titled hellfire in the movie so...

[@GamsterLifeComms]

In a movie where words like "Hell", "Damnation", and "kill" are tossed around numerous times and are to be taken seriously, not to mention Paris itself is quite literally transformed into Hell, lust and hate drive the antagonist, and the fact that it is implied that a lot of people died, this movie really did prove that people really shouldn't automatically assume that animated Disney movies are "kiddy". XD This wasn't even the first film to do so, however; at the very least, there was the movie "The Black Cauldron" before this one, but the 100% pure dark and mature nature of that movie is why it was so unpopular...in fact, it remains so today...:/

[@AslansMane88]

Well said. "Hell" came across as a curse word rather than a noun to me. Even so, I accept your analysis.

[@maevatema]

clopin does not say "de l'enfer" 4:48, it is wrong.

[@kokeru]

maevatema He does say "de l'enfer" it's supposed to be "flammes de l'enfer"(in one shot) but he put emphasis on "flammes", then say "de l'enfer" , it shouldn't have been said like that but it was done to fit the song i guess, that's why I don't like translations it really sounds weird...

[@4ChewingGunsKillYou]

It is impossible to make a perfect translation that will fit with the rythm and melody of the original song...
