About this Quote

This quote by David Friedman is describing the production of the Disney motion picture, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It is clear that the production team required a big choir to supply the soundtrack for the movie. To accomplish this, they went to London and recruited singers who might strike high notes and hold them for a long period of time. This is a difficult task, as it requires a lot of singing control and endurance. The truth that they required to do this 60 times reveals the level of commitment and devotion that was required to make the film a success. The quote also highlights the power of Disney, as they were able to attract the best singers in London to deal with the task. It is a testament to the quality of the movie that they were able to discover such gifted singers to bring the soundtrack to life.
