In 1998, Jennifer Love Hewitt was asked to play the voice of Madellaine, the love interest to The Hunchback in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2" (HB2), the sequel to the 1996 hit. But there was one problem. The actors contracted to this sequel were assigned singers for their characters. Even Jennifer Love Hewitt was also assigned a singer for her character. But Love was shocked. Love convinced the HB2 producers and the Walt Disney Executives that SHE CAN SING. The next day, she approached them with a song she composed with her long time family friend and former studio teacher, Chris Canute. Not only she was allowed to sing her song, not only the song was the new theme for "Hunchback 2", not only the song landed on a new CD called "Disney's Superstar Hits", but the song made the DVD and VHS release of "Hunchback 2" one of the TOP SELLERS than rentals for Disney DVD and Home Video. More people bought the DVD and/or video than renting it. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2" (released on March 19, 2002) was Number One for three weeks in the Top Video Sales, and a top ten seller in the Top 10 DVD Sales according to Billboard and Soundscan. As a matter of fact, on January 14, 2003, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II" received two DVD Premiere Awards:
Once again, Jennifer Love Hewitt has placed herself (with Chris Canute) in the rank of SONGWRITERS!! BRAVO!! Record producer Rob Cavallo who produced this Hewitt track was one of the motion picture producers of the Warner Bros. 1984 hit "Purple Rain" starring Prince. |
