Introduction to the Jetlag Version

Quasimodo from the Jetlag version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame

At first glance you would think  that the Jetlag version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is just a cheap Disney knock-off. And while it’s is indeed very, very cheap it’s not actually a Disney knock-off. While I’m  sure it’s conception was to capitalize of the Disney version the truth is that the Jetlag version follows the book pretty closely.

I mean it still has a happy ending and  the whole “beauty is on the inside” moral that the kiddies versions love, but Frollo is a priest and they don’t shy away too much from his obession with Esmeralda, Quasimodo is deaf, Phoebus is a jerk, Fleur de Lys is present, Djali spells, ect.

So while it is very cheaply done, the music is laughable and the pacing is slow and padded out despite its 46 minute running time it does slightly redeem its self for following the book fairy closely though not enough to make it a good movie by any means.

Victor Hugo married the girl next door, Adèle Foucher. Hugo’s mother, Sophie, was against the match but after her death he married Adèle  on October 14 1822. They had five children together. In 1830,  after their youngest daughter (named Adèle ) was born  the elder Adèle told Hugo that  she didn’t want anymore children which was code for no more sex. Both Hugo and the Adèle took lovers.  However it was the expulsion from Adèle bed’s that was the inspiration for Phoebus‘ tragic fate of getting married Notre Dame de Paris.

Fan-Art Friday Pokemon Edition

This weekend is Otakon, which is the largest Anime Convention on the East Coast of the USA (and I’m attending), I though this Fan-art Friday I would use Pokemon in the Belle staging (with some liberties) from Notre Dame de Paris.

Notre Dame de Paris Silliness and Mistakes

Helene Segara, Patrick Fiori & some of the dancers being silly in an Elevator

Here are some Funny add-in to Notre Dame de Paris and some Mistake. Though I’m sure there are a lot more of these incidences that occurred in all the many different casts.

During Tentative d’enlèvement Phoebus sings “Je suis le capitaine chargé de la sécurité” (“I am the captain in charge of security” ), in the last performance the word “SECURITY” was written on Patrick Fiori chain mail. source

During a performance of  La volupté the bed was covered with condoms. source

During Tentative d’enlèvement in a performance, Fiori replaced Esmeralda’s knife with a comb . source

During the song Je reviens vers toi Fiori instead of singing “au fond de moi c’est toi que j’aime encore” (From the depths of me, it’s you I still love) he sang “au fond de toi c’est moi que j’aime encore” (From the depths of you it’s me I still love). source

In the London production during The Bird they put in Cages Garou instead of ” do they birds they put in cages” he accidently starts to sing “do the children they put in cages” source
