Episode Details

AJ, Mike, and Chris journey to 1996 and the release of Walt Disney Feature Animation's 37th animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. We are very proud to feature an interview with the original writer for the film, Tab Murphy. Join in as he an AJ discuss how this incredible film came together, how a classic piece of literature is adapted into a Disney film, how the studio collaborated on the movie, and what happened the first time anyone heard Hellfire. We also share some of the original inspirations for the film, the effects of a 10 journey to Paris on the movie's music, and how the three gargoyles came to not only exist in the film, but find their voice as well.
