Disney liked to do unique things when it came to premiering a big motion picture. Such as premiering Pocahontas in New York's Central Park. For The Hunchback of Norte Dame, Disney held the premiere in New Orleans' Superdome. The film was projected on all six of the huge screens in the dome. Afterwards a huge parade followed starting from Jackson Square and traversing the French Quarter. That following year, there was a parade in NYC for the premiere of Hercules.
