How many animated feature films were produced by Disney by the time the song "The Bells of Notre Dame" was featured?
The Bells of Notre Dame "The Bells of Notre Dame" is a song from the 1996 Disney film, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", composed by Alan Menken, with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. It is sung at the beginning of the film by the clown-like gypsy, Clopin. It is set mainly in the key of D minor. (However, the movie is edited up a semitone, therefore playing this piece in E-flat minor.) The song bears some similarity to the poem "The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe, especially the repetition of the word "bells" during the crescendo. The song is reprised at the end of the film.
