Fun Fact: When Frollo begins singing the “Its not my fault!” part, the hooded figures sing “Mea Culpa”, which is Latin for “My fault”. This is Frollo arguing against himself.

Weirdly this seems like a version which is true to the original novel. Frollo is battling with himself and succumbing to his desires. Disney made the absolute villain in Judge Frollo but here we see a man suffering a downward spiral which is more tragic and closer to the original. Fantastic rendition!

If you live in the Northwest Indiana Region or Chicagoland Area or even if you are able to travel you should come and visit Ross Music Theatre they give amazing productions every summer and all throughout the year. This theatre company is known far and wide for putting on huge spectacular musical productions that is sure to rival many Chicago or Broadway theatres. Theatre goers have traveled from out of state just to see these shows here. And the best part is that the tickets don't cost a lot at all yet you still get the same amount of quality and professionalism you see on Broadway. I've been fortunate to not only have seen shows here but have gotten to perform in a few shows myself. In fact their annual production of Scrooge the Musical will be coming up in November so if you are willing to travel please feel free to come.

After years of horrible renditions this is finally a version that deserves applause. How many singers in the past have made Frollo sound like a boygroup idiot?

If you live ANYWHERE near Northwest Indiana I HIGHLY suggest seeing the Ross Community Theatre each summer! They have some serious talent and tickets are 15 at the door, 10 if you order beforehand online. Broadway level talent and workmanship is evident throughout every aspect of the show, put together and performed by passionate community members. The actors don't even get paid to my knowledge! I've been to Broadway Chicago and I swear the only difference in the shows is that Chicago clearly has more money to spend on small things like props. These gentlemen in the video will be in The Little Mermaid this weekend and next weekend!

I often believe that every good hero in any story needs a great villain to fight against. I only hope that Disney is not afraid to make a great Villain compared to how awesome they made their Disney Villains during the 1990s from Ursula in Little Mermaid to Clayton in Tarzan. Out of many of these Disney villains from that period of animated classic films, Frollo was perhaps up there with the best villains in Disney's history. These days in Disney's films I feel that the animation studio has lost the ability to make a great villain because they are afraid of the backlash of what might happen if they offend the wrong kind of people, or perhaps Disney have gone downhill when they become WOKE as Hollywood has become now. But I do hope that there is someone there that is still got what it takes to take a classic story and make an awesome Disney Villain out of it, one that could be as complex as Frollo was. Like in the Lion King, they made Scar look allot like Hitler in the 90s version of Lion King. Can't see them doing that today because of how they are afraid of offending people now. But they need to have the balls to make a villain really scary and really off-putting because that is how awesome Disney villains of the past were like especially the ones that give you that creepy feeling down your spine.

[@transformersfan8923]

Don’t forget about Dr. Facillier form The Princess and the Frog

[@devk5645]

Honestly, I feel that Clayton is a bit overrated as a villain. He’s mostly just a typical hunter/poacher villain, but his death scene is probably one of the most terrifying in Disney.

So in my car, I love singing these two songs back to back (as they are) as well as “Out There”, so it’s not a foreign concept to sing both parts.

I saw an incredible rendition of Hellfire at my local theater, and I was breathless. Jacob Reinhart's voice is nearly identical to the one I saw, and I LOVE it. I'm not sure why they kept the set blue for most of it, though. Oh well. Nothing to be done about it.

[@reelcomp]

Shalyce Sam Mutchie the blue stage represents the natural look inside the cathedral at night. The red stage and projected flames come in as the song builds represents what Frollo is feeling.

[@ChaoticComrade]

@@reelcomp Gotcha. The blue makes sense, but I feel like the red should come in much earlier and much stronger. That's just me. It's a big and dramatic song centered around lust and a difficulty with penance. The blue almost represents a presence of God and a heavenly aesthetic. Red drowns it out, just as his lust is drowning out his piety. Both work, though.

[@reelcomp]

Shalyce Sam Mutchie Oh, the stage was very red it just does not translate on the video the only thing not red was a couple key lights that were purple, the video seems to mute the red effect and make the UV look more blue, But I see what you are saying, What makes it appear less red is the projection. The projection did not change color with the rest of the stage for a couple reasons, so that might be why the stage appears less red. Also some

Hostos1 He’s a priest in the book. He’s only a judge in the movie because Disney really did not feel like insulting the Church.

[@markcobuzzi826]

@Javier Perez Even more so, from what I read, it allowed the Disneyfied Frollo to play the roles of other antagonists from the book like the fictionalized portrayal of King Louis XI (who thought about overruling Esmeralda’s claim of sanctuary and ordered the soldiers to kill off the rioters trying to save Esmeralda) and the corrupt prosecutor Jacques Charmolue (whom I recall arresting Esmeralda and torturing her to make the girl falsely confess to witchcraft), since Frollo now has the power to directly arrest people and so on.
