Putting these two songs (Heaven's Light and Hellfire) one after the other was genius. It really shows the contrast between the innocent and pure longing for Esmeralda in Quasimodo's heart, and the evil lust for her that Frollo feels. Even the names if the songs are perfectly juxtaposed; Quasi seeing Esmeralda as "light from heaven" and Frollo seeing her as "fire from hell". Simply beautiful.

23 months later. I think they're rushing Wreck-It Ralph too, but Wreck-It Ralph has no hope of reminding us of the old Disney...I mean, there's a MORTAL KOMBAT character in it. I would much prefer Psyduck.

@tinmanluver35 Princess and the Frog was never going to be likie the old Disney. CGI movies can be just as good as the old Disney, and that's what Tangled was. Just because it's cel animated does not mean you can go, "Oh, old Disney, you've returned!"
I have hopes that Frozen will be like the old Disney, though. And I have good reason to believe it will be. Except for the fact that it was a dead project for a long time and then suddenly BOOM, they announce that Frozen will be released

Alan Mencken scored this? Seriously, how could they give a terrible song by Randy Newman an Oscar when Alan Mencken is the greatest composer for animation of all time, and Tangled's "Now I've Seen the Light" was scored by him and came out the same year?

So you have the humble and timeless plea for forgiveness by the monks and the arrogance of the "prayer" (if it can be called that) by Frollo. It is an absolutely amazing difference. Other parts match up well, but my favorite is the mea culpa combined with the denial of guilt of any kind.
If you want to hear something more of what the Monks would've been really singing/chanting, look up Compline (Night Prayer) Monastic (Latin with English translation) on Youtube. It is benedictine, but close.

The Confiteor is in Latin. It is a much shorter version...in fact I think I gave too much of it above. It is followed by a Greek exclamation of "Kyrie Eleison" meaning Lord have Mercy.
The parts of the confiteor which particularly show the juxtaposition are when the statement is made 3 fold that it is not Frollo's fault, the monks are singing "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" when means literally, "my fault."
Frollo, meet your right hand.
Honestly.
