The Hunchback of Notre Dame - AniMat’s Classic Reviews

[@cinephile9885]

Frollo is the greatest Disney villain ever, and this is one of the Best Disney movies ever made!

[@avidenaro6612]

I hate that guy! He's the monster, Not quasi!

[@avidenaro6612]

The worst villain in the history of villains

[@ssffe529]

Yea! That's what makes him great is that he's a monster! I love it!

[@nasayalucero1703]

I love this movie great job

[@ethanwinters1936]

He's a great Villain

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

I would say its the most underrated Disney film, and as someone who did read the Victor Hugo novel, well yeah there are obvious differences but they did keep some of the darker elements to a point where I am a bit shocked. Sure Frollo is more evil but in a rather horrifying not I WANNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD sort of way. It is impressive. 9.5 from me, that and I will never get tired of showing people I like Hellfire and going, "yep, clearly a family film right?" Also this film was rated G, either someone was bribed or man was the person not paying attention.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

Actually I believe the Black Cauldron did get a PG rating. That I understand I mean, the Horned King is rather threatening, but this movie comes with some really heavy themes. And an old man is sniffing a young woman's hair and eventually more or less states to hell that I will have sex with this woman or burn her at the stake. I don't know about you but I feel its a little bit darker then Black Cauldron.

[@amirgarcia547]

Tyler Bioshock Disney added the gargoyles to the film in order to get a G rating, which Animat forgot to discuss.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

That's my guess as well, they added in the Gargoyles to try and counter balance the darker aspects by adding the dumb jokes but it still doesn't really balance it. All it does is mess with the tone at the wrong moments, it doesn't subtract the dark moments like a mother getting murdered a baby being almost drowned. A DISNEY MOMENT INDEED!

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

Your not wrong. I cannot imagine something like this getting released without being PG AT LEAST! There are things here like Hellfire as a whole that might go PG13, so yeah the irony is stunning. This movie shows oh so well that the rating system is a joke. Also if you want a laugh read the back of the box description for the DVD. It sounds overtly cutesy saying stuff like, "Quasi and his HILARIOUS stone friends while learning the true meaning of being yourself!" Yeah can I say that is underselling it a tad bit?

[@brandonlyon730]

Then again Secret of NIHM was also rated G, and they were intentionally trying to get a PG with that one.

[@DarthVader-ib7tl]

Joe DeSena I actually liked the gargoyles, it balances the mood of the film.

[@linkfan160]

Very happy to see all these other people in the comments who love this movie just as much as I do. It's Disney's best because it is it's darkest. It took so many risks and I think many of them paid off. I love the characters. I love the animation. The only thing that I love more than the film is the soundtrack. I physically ache at the fact that this movie is largely forgotten by Disney fans. It deserves just as much praise as many of the other Renaissance classics and I'm so glad to see that people agree.

[@NinjaGirlSakura1]

I love Esmerelda the most out of the characters in this movie! She's pretty,sassy and brave,and a good person on top of it all. I deffinetly appreciate this movie more now that I'm older I did like it as a kid too though.

[@kristinahuchison2511]

Same! NGL I always found Esmerelda to be so much better than Ariel or especially Jasmine imo. I get why people still love Ariel, despite I’m not a big fan, but Jasmine always struck me as a whiny ungrateful brat who never seemed to appreciate the life she had, especially when there’s homeless people in her kingdom, including Aladdin. Anyways, I never got why Esmerelda wasn’t more popular, she’s the perfect blend of kick*ss and feisty while also having a big heart of gold and infinite kindness and compassion towards Quasimodo

[@TallManVanitas]

I was honestly the only one in my family growing up that adored this movie. It's even in my Top Five Disney Films alongside Aladdin, Wreck-It-Ralph, Beauty And The Beast, and Peter Pan! The film took a lot of risks, and I feel they really worked!

[@DisneyLover022]

Just to say, I love how enthusiastic you are about this movie. You are giving a realistic, honest review on it, but when you're praising it, I can just tell by your voice that you really like it, and I think it helps that you're emphasizing that what's really good IS really good, and should be appreciated as such. Apart from which, you're also giving due explanation as to why it should be more popular than it is, as well as why Disney took risks with this movie that they'll never take again. Myself, I always loved this movie even as a child (although I didn't understand some of the darker themes), so I never thought of it as underrated. It's good to see others who appreciate true cinematic gold when they see it. ^_^

[@willjiggetts6682]

I do believe the gargoyles are figments of his imagination, symbolizing how Quasimodo's years of solitude have affected his mental health. Have you ever noticed how hes the only one they interact with? Even turning to stone upon the arrival of other characters. Can we also talk about the parallels between Quasimodo's story and Rapunzel's story as well?

[@davidbauler3159]

When this film was made, Disney was being targeted by certain Christian fundamentalist groups. The company was seen as being too nice to the gays. So, this film may have just a tad bit of a reply to those fundamentalist groups.

[@Steef_Lee]

And the Christians were pissed about Pocahontas because she wasn’t portrayed as a Christian herself. I feel like Disney was like okay fine then you can be the villains in our next film. I have no idea if this is true, but it’s the reality I choose lol

[@kristinahuchison2511]

@@Steef_Leelol. As someone who absolutely loved Pocahontas growing up, I was always so disappointed with the drastic change in the sequel to be more historically accurate, despite the original movie was a success and a lot of people really wanted to see Pocahontas and John Smith end up together. I legit laugh at anyone who tries defending the sequel with “its more historically accurate!” when that is barely true. Pocahontas was a Christian and also had her name changed to a English (or technically Hebrew) name Rebecca after being forced to marry John Rolfe. And the whole reason of Pocahontas becoming a Christian was because she was impregnated outside of wedlock while imprisoned by the English, which was a big deal back then. So she was forced to marry to not only legitimize the pregnancy, but also become a Christian as well. I’m sorry but people really thought Disney was gonna portray Pocahontas’s actual life in a kid’s movie?? I don’t care what anyone says about the movie nowadays, Pocahontas will always have a special place in my heart

[@maddiekoester7785]

Thank you!!! Thank you for mentioning Clopin! No one ever mentions Clopin, even though he gets the most fan attention. Have you seen all the fan art? And on top of that people may remember the colorful jester, but no one remembers his name because it’s only mentioned once in the entire film!

Story 10 Animation 10 Characters 9 Songs 10

[@oghond]

Everyone else: OH MY GOD ITS HERE THIS IS AWESOMEMe: *secretly praying that AniMat both mentions Clopin by name and says it right*

[@oghond]

YES AND YES!!!! Which is to be expected because AniMat speaks fluent French, so of course he'd say it as "kloh-PAH~(n)"- which is correct.

[@oghond]

Though now that I listen to it again, HIS pronunciation is actually more along the lines of "kloh-PAY." So he said "pang" without the "ng," but he cut it a bit too close to the "-ng."

[@oghond]

*now waiting for people to comment on the fact that AniMat both said it right, but at the same time didn't*

[@oghond]

And the best part? NONE OF THAT takes away from the fact that THIS. REVIEW. WAS. AWESOME. Pronunciation stuff aside, this is one of the best reviews I have ever seen AniMat do.

Disney's Hunchback is my personal favorite from my childhood. I really enjoy the story and cause I've read the novel and I said "the book is a classic and Disney like to give a different things to make it more young kids" The music is so epic thanks to Alan Menken (Beauty And The Beast, Pocahontas) and Stephen Schwartz (Pocahontas, The Prince Of Egypt) love The Bells Of Notre Dame, Out There, God Help The Outcast, and Hellfire. I gave the film 5 out of 5 stars and like Siskel and Ebert said "The Best Disney Picture Since Beauty And The Beast"

Disney’s the Hunchback of Notre dame is one of Disney’s most beautiful masterpieces. It inspires me still to this day, and I love it to bits.

I used this movie when teaching my students about linear perspective. Afterwards, I illustrated how NOT to use perspective by comparing it side-by-side with Dingo's Hunchback. It had a strong reaction...

[@ToonrificTariq]

To be fair, I think the problem with people isn't that Disney didn't faithfully adapt it, it's more that this exist. Don't get me wrong, I adore the film, but I feel like it might just be the idea of a DISNEY Hunchback of Notre Dame is what throws the OG fans for a loop. It's like when that Powerpuff Girls reboot came out. Before the first episode premiered, everyone just hated the idea of a reboot, apart from the people who could care less about the original show, who were more open. When fans see this, they already go "Oh God, Disney's telling this story?? I already know they'll suck the life out of it and turn it into something different!" I've seen people have this same problem with like Peter Pan or even Winnie the Pooh.

[@ImaginaryMdA]

When I was a kid I saw that my aunt had this movie. I wanted to watch it but my mom wouldn't let me. I never got to watch it until I was just about to graduate from high school. After I finally saw it I thought to my self WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! Oh my god what on earth was Disney thinking? Don't get me wrong after I saw it I couldn't stop talking about it. I can honestly say that this is one of my absolute favorite Disney films of all time next to The Little Mermaid, Tangled , Frozen, and Moana. But after I saw it for the first time, I had to go to my mom give her a hug and say thank you for keeping me away from this movie when I was little. OH MY FUCKING GOD! In my opinion this is the Voldemort of all Disney films! I can't let my little sister watch this for a very long time. She's only three years old right now so years later it probably wouldn't matter if she watched it or not because she probably won't remember watching it. But still I'm not EVER going to let her watch this until she is in high school. I tried reading the book and I only read like what five pages and then I got lost with trying to comprehend what was going on in the story so I had to stop reading it. But I can definitely say that even though this movie goes way beyond the original boundaries and restrictions tawards the Disney animated films, I still love this movie for what it is. Hell it's so mind boggiling to the point where I love it and the rest of my family hates it. The only two problems that I have with it is that 1. The stupid Gargoyles. Why couldn't they just be Quasimodo's concious instead of being real? That would've made a lot more sense. Another thing that pissed me off was the fact that after everything that they've said and done in the movie it still got a rating of G! WHY? I probably would've given it a PG-13 or an R rating. Other than that I still love this film. If you're curious and you are over the ages of elementary and middle school go ahead and watch this amazing movie and see for yourselves. I hope you guys enjoy it just as much as I did.

I don't care what people think, I think the Gargoyles are good characters in their own right, even if they do feel out of place. They help counter-balance the morbid moods set in this film that would rather over-pollute this film. Not that the dark moments are bad, its just their is quite a bit of it that sometimes its nice to have a bit of funny to help lighten the mood. Also, damn, I was hoping it would be Lilo and Stitch, one of my favorites from WDAS, but its the sequel. Oh well, maybe next time. I should request Dumbo one of these days

Honestly, sometimes Disney does an adaptation just right. Not word for word from the source, but they get the essence of the characters right and get the basic parts of the story pretty well. I've read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and The Wind in the Willows and realized that while not exact, Disney (at least around Walt's time) adapted them fairly well. No one complains that much about Marvel adapting the comics exactly right, they still get the essence of the characters right and that's kind of what matters most anyway.

Want proof that PG rating is deader than a wet sock chewed up by your dog? Just think, this movie came out with a G rating but many intense scenes makes it feel very borderline PG-13; meanwhile 2017 My Little Pony Movie came out with a PG rating! A movie where in the literal first five minutes we see a mother crack her skull and die on screen and has her child kidnapped and have said kidnapper about to commit infanticide on screen gets a G rating while a movie about magical horses gets a PG rating. HOW!?

When you think of Hunchback you immediately think of Frollo!!!! HOLY SHIT he is a despicable character you just love to hate! Like the opening number says, Frollo saw corruption everywhere except within and that was what made him the incredibly hateful, prejudice, lustful, and GRRRRR he’s just AWFUL!!!

Here’s a tip for the ladies: If you ever have a “nice guy” on your ass calling you a bitch for committing the egregious crime of not dating him, send him a link to this movie. Because this is an example of how a *real* nice guy acts!

Notre dame means a lot more to me now, since it was sadly burning yesterday.

I recently watched it for the first time. I wasn't allowed to watch it as a kid, and in retrospect the themes of the movie perfectly explain why. A lot of Disney fans told me this one wasn't worth watching, but I resonated with it quite a bit, and it stands out in contrast with the majority of Disney's classics, which is refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. I liked it a lot.

[@stormshadowproductions1660]

YES! The next review is Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch! :D

[@Teatrofoo]

YES what I've been waiting for

[@nickievison1134]

This was my favourite disney film growing up. It was beautifully animated with epic music and a dark story. Plus Esmerelda is the most street wise disney heroine to date.

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

For whatever reason I use to watch this like crazy when I was a kid.

[@Trainboy452]

Frollo's Death is one of my favorite villain deaths.

[@jaxthewolf4572]

Mine too, it's clever

[@Kirkklan]

When this is brought up in conversation with my family, and how dark it is, it always goes back to how Pokohantus wasn't the greatest.

[@spresley8]

Thanks for the great review! It's my favorite movie of all time and deserves all the attention it can get.

[@fcv4616]

I loved the film as a kid, and appreciated the deeper, darker elements as I grew up. It went to the movies when I was 8, and I remember coming back at night with my family from the movies excited, unable to sleep because I was reimagining the film in my head.

[@martinloquendero1460]

This is one of the best Disney movies I ever seen and the second most underrated (my first underrated is The Emperor's New Groove)
