I miss A Bronx Tale so much. I will never forget being in the audience of Closing Night and meeting Menken at the stage door. Picture and autograph. Will never forget. Hunchback is also my favorite Disney movie and one of my favorite stage adaptations especially since it follows the book better. Plus Patrick Page kills it as Frollo and Micheal Arden was phenomenal as Quasimodo.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think the soundtrack for Home on the range in which also Alan Mencken worked with it very under rated, the movie might not be that good but the music is really good for example just listen to the song will the sun ever shine again, because the song its beautiful. Again this my personal opinion but I wanted to share it with all of you.

Fun fact: Angela Lansbury was worried her singing voice had deteriorated too much to be a fit for Beauty and the Beast but was convinced to do a take on the condition that if it wasn't up to snuff they could redub it. Needless to say that woman left the crew in tears in a single take with her beautiful rendition of what would become a classic

Depending on how early you made this video before it was published, you might not have known
BUT
Hercules DID have a stage production with Public Works, and Menken wrote a few new songs to add to the show, in addition to all the ones from the movie!

Paper Mills production of Hunchback is my all-time favorite stage production. It was mind-blowingly amazing! Its a crime that it hasnt made it to broadway. Michael Ardens performance of Quasimodo was Tony worthy.

Hercules and Hunchback have always been at the top of my underrated Disney movies list and Little Mermaid was my childhood favorite because Ariel and I were born without the use of our legs

If I were to write a musical adaptation of the My Little Pony G4 spin-off Equestria Girls, I wouldn't mind suggested Alan Menken to co-write the music for a concept album while I write the lyrics.

Hunchback should be #1. Little Shop should be towards the bottom of the list based on music. Pocahontas' music should alone place it towards the top of this list, not just an honorable mention.

Only an honourable mention for Pocahontas! The entire score from first note to last is a masterpiece! It's up there with Beauty and the Beast and Hunchback, but people always forget about it

As far as I know, Menken and his team are currently working on a musical version of Hercules. I couldn't be happier and it 100 % deserves a musical rendition since the songs are so good

I know I'm in the minority but i would have put home on the range also to the honorable mentions - it doesn't have much songs but I love them and think they deserve more recognition

Little shop of horrors is a musical I grew up on and I love that it gets the spot light here, but after seeing aladdin on Broadway that comes a close second for me.

Pocahontas as an honorable mention? It has one of the most unique scores and breathtaking musicals. Farewell alone beats most of these musicals

Alan Menken is one of my heroes! The only reason you wouldn't love him is to not know who he is. which is IMPOSSIBLE because he is so iconic

Gotta give them credit where credit is due for putting Hunchback in the top 2. He even came to my school when we did that musical.

'Newsies' is one of my favorite Disney live-action film musicals. Least we forget that Christian Bale is in it, and he sings & dances!

They are all incredible and iconic but nothing will ever beat the incredible writing and composition of Beaty and the Beast.

You know what would be cool, a film with songs by Menken and Schwartz, a score by Menken, and directed by Steven Spielberg.
