Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The misconception about this animated film from Disney was that it was a movie for kids--something Victor Hugo never had in mind. In fact, despite a cute brace of singing gargoyles who are Quasimodo's (Tom Hulce) best friends, this version of Hugo's classic tale is really adult entertainment, with a strong set of songs by Alan Menken. The story remains mostly the same (though tricked out with a happier ending than Hugo's): Quasimodo, the ward of repressive monk Frollo, falls for a gypsy girl named Esmerelda (Demi Moore)--though she loves one of the king's guards (Kevin Kline). But they are all put in jeopardy by the wicked Frollo, whose secret passion for Esmerelda leads him to seek her death. At times too dark and even a shade kinky, something that may scare younger viewers. --Marshall Fine



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Hunch Back
Excellent movie, wonderful music. Grandchildren have thoroughly enjoyed this movie - very good message.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hunchback of Notre Dame
I was highly please with my purchase of this product. The movie was perfect, and the seller lived up to all their promises. I would do business with them again.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Underrated!!
This is the single most underrated, unappreciated Disney movie ever made. The animation is superb, and the music is to DIE for. There is more soul, more energy, and more meaning in this movie than any other animated feature I have ever seen.

But beyond that, the direction is...breathtaking. The shots the directors chose, the frames they focus on...they leave you speechless really. I'm at a loss for how to describe them.

This is a masterpiece and it belongs in every movie-goer's collection. (I would not, however, suggest watching the "Making Of" bit in the Extra's section. It's silly and certainly meant for children or over-eager fans of Jason Alexander.)



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An unexpectedly great movie
One of Disney's less famous films turn out to be a masterpiece. It's got great characters like the kind Quasimodo and the Gypsy. However, the song Hellfire is too dark.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Pretty decent, but couldn't they have taken bigger chances with this?
I have read "Notre-Dame de Paris (a.k.a. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame)" by Victor Hugo, and it has become one of my all-time favorite books. When I saw the Disney adaptation, I was a bit disappointed. Let me start with the good.

THE GOOD SIDE: I admire the beautiful animation (especially the accurate rendering of the Notre-Dame cathedral). It's all been done very splendidly. The songs "Topsy Turvy" and "God Help the Outcasts" are very enjoyable, while the songs "Hellfire" and "The Bells of Notre Dame" define the darker side of Disney. The gargoyles Hugo, Victor, and Laverne will provide excellent comic relief for the kids. And finally, I'm glad they took a very dark approach for a Disney film like this . . .

THE BAD SIDE: Unfortunately, this isn't dark enough. My main ... Read More
