Follow thehunchblogFor many, many people (myself included) Belle is the first song they ever heard from Notre Dame de Paris. Belle is the “Phantom of the Opera” of the show as it’s the hallmark song of the show.
I first heard Belle rather randomly back in April, 2009. It was sunday and I on “Oh No They Didn’t”. There was post of on the top 25 Disney songs so I decided to read it. In the comment section someone posted Belle, so I watched it. My initial impression of it was confusion, since out of context I didn’t know what was going on or what lead up to that point in show. It was out of that confusion and curiosity that I watched the whole show on youtube.
Anyway enjoy Belle.

I’m holding off on Notre Dame de Paris for now, just case anyone is wondering why I didn’t include it.
Follow thehunchblogThe performance in the 1923 version are for the most part are good. There are some delightful moments of hammy 1920’s acting. Like when Jehan walks in with the cape up to his eyes. The only thing hammier would have been if he twisted his mustache and tied Esmeralda to a train track.
Chaney excels as Quasimodo. His best moments are when he is watching Esmeralda dance and she shun him for his ugliness, Esmeralda giving him water on the pillory, and his death scene.
In her book, Pasty Ruth Miller told a story about how Chaney told her that it wasn’t important for her to live the role but to make the audience feel the emotion the character. So Chaney wasn’t a much a of method actor.
What it really comes down to in the 1923 version of Hunchback, is with the exception of Chaney, is that acting is good, not amazing, not terrible, it’s just good. I’m not offended by it but nor I’m particularly moved by it except for a few instances.

Do you think that the Asian Tour cast will turn in to World Tour Cast? I think they might.
Follow thehunchblogToday Fan-art is by clayangel. It’s an adorable drawing of Gringoire and Djali. I love that Djali and Gringoire got away to together end and had a happy ending unlike anyone else.
