He said he’d love to come to my studio, watch the movie and talk about it. He had to allegations about inappropriate behavior with underage kids, and the breakup with Lisa Marie Presley. I get a call out of nowhere from Michael’s assistant, when Michael was at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York. He was a very unique, interesting individual… in his own world. I met Michael Jackson when we were looking for someone to sing “A Whole New World” for Aladdin. Alan Menken, the longtime Disney composer and recent EGOT winner, tells a story about Jackson wanting to record for the soundtrack but getting the cold shoulder:
Slash Film has a new oral history of Disney’s 1996 animated version of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and it includes the revelation that Disney wanted nothing to do with Jackson. And Disney evidently rejected his offer to record songs for the Hunchback Of Notre Dame soundtrack. Jarvis Cocker mooned him at the Brit Awards. In 1996, Jackson divorced Lisa Marie Presley. Jackson’s 1995 album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I had been a commercial disappointment. The child abuse allegations against Jackson, and the general tabloid-driven chaos that surrounded him, had come to eclipse his music completely. 1996 was not a good time to be Michael Jackson.
