Well aren't you clever! The Little Mermaid'a must be my third favorite. And I am a fan of old church music so that makes sense regarding me and Hunchback.

Me too. It reminds me of the pose from Out There.

I remember at one point you said that Pocahontas and Hunchback are not among your favorite films, do you still like the soundtrack themselves despite the films? Are you planning to buy Hunchback's Legacy Collection soundtrack? And did you buy Pocahontas'?

Oh, but Hunchack is one of my favorite films! It may not make the top 10, but surely the top 15! Pocahontas will never be one of my favorite films. Never been into Native American stuff. But its soundtrack and animation is rather amazing, I must admit. I don't plan on getting Hunchback's Legacy Collection soundtrack or Pocahontas's, though. These days I am reserving my money for stuff I am extremely into. But those soundtracks are amazing, and I own Hunchback on Blu-ray.

I wonder when (or if?) it'll show up on Amazon?

Hunchback Legacy Collection is on Spotify!

A bit disappointed this doesn't include Eternal's version of "Someday", which was used in the end credits of the UK release.
But of course still great to have this set, hopefully more are on the way!

I was so excited about this!! Listening on repeat

Disappointing that the reprise of Heaven's Light (when Esmeralda and Phoebus kiss in front of Quasimodo) is not featured in this album.

On Spotify, the “And He Shall Smite the Wicked” track is not complete

You're right. It seems like they made a mistake and instead of putting Sanctuary at Sanctuary!, They put it at the beginning of He Shall Smite the Wicked and accidentally cut the end.

They also have a mistake with Topsy Turvy and put the soundtrack version instead of the film version.

I hope the disc is not like that.

Not the first time there have been omissions or mistakes. I'm just grateful we've got what we have here at all!

All the omissions and mistakes are pretty disappointing. Sure, it's better than nothing, but it would have been so easy for them to give us a flawless product. I don't get why they are unable or unwilling to do something so seemingly simple.

Yeah, I hope the disc will have the complete score

Whoa, I`m surprised that it was released on Spotify so soon! But I`m still very pleased with the release. It includes most of the full scores, despite that I`m sullen about the loss of the stunning, but underrated Heavens Light-reprise (which always has been a criminally underrated song that always have been dismissed at the expense of Hellfire). But otherwise I`m pleased. I`m surprised that it haven`t been available on Amazon.com

My favorite track on the soundtrack has to be Humiliation, that cue that plays after Quasimodo says to Frollo he will never disobey him again, and then he walks back inside the Cathedral. That music is so beautiful...and to hear it in such good quality, it gave me goosebumps.

Agreed! There's so much score we have never been able to properly hear before It was hiding beneath the dialogue and sound effects

I bought it via iTunes and listened to the “AHSSTW” track after a friend told me they cut the best part and I felt so upset! Disney, please rectify these mistakes!

I tweeted Alan Menken, other than that not sure where I can contact Disney formally.

A friend mentioned contacting the Disney Music Twitter (that’s @DisneyMusic) about the ordeal.
