Circle of Life
This round will [ironically] be the least thrilling of them all...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Bells of Notre Dame
(just because everyone's gonna vote for Circle of Life )

It's the Circle of Life, and it moves us all..

Well, we all know what's going to win. This is hard, but one has to go.

Just in case miracles do happen on July 13, I pick The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Bells of Notre Dame.

Circle of Life - The Lion King

It's the overdog for a reason.

I doubt very much it will win but The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Bells of Notre Dame

Don't doubt it, at this rate, if UD members are thinking Hunchback is not a challenege and are voting because they want to be part of the "B" crowd, then I don't think Lion King won't have much choice.

Crowd B- people who want to be different than anybody else for a change.

Actually some of us are voting for the Hunchback because we find The Lion King overated and hyped up (even though it is a good movie, but not anywhere near the best disney movie)

Why are you judging the movie as a whole or for being hyped when you're supposed to vote for the opening sequence only? Unfair.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame - The Bells of Notre Dame

Stephen Schwartz is an amazing songwriter. =)

Why are you considering everyone who votes for the thing you do not wish to win part of the "B crowd?" Like he said, some of us think the OPENING of TLK is overrated. I know I do. It may be a better movie overall, but the Hunchback's opening is more "dramatic, intense, epic or climatic."

I don't think The Lion King's opening is overrated; it deserves the credit it gets. I just like Hunchback's opening a little better. "Bells of Notre Dame" is such a powerful and excellent song, especially when it's wrapping up and the title of the movie appears on screen.
