Frollo is a kind man who raises Quasimodo as his own son after losing his family. *Frollo is an attempted murderer and rapist who beats on Quasimodo for going outdoors!* Quasimodo attacks Esmeralda with Frollo, and tries to drag her away. *Esmeralda gives water to Quasimodo because she feels sorry for him!* Esmeralda confesses to killing Phoebus. *Esmeralda claims she's innocent, and Phoebus isn't even dead!* Phoebus tells Esmeralda he loves her, but is then stabbed by Frollo, leaving Esmeralda heartbroken and telling Frollo to kill her too. *Esmeralda realises she loves Quasimodo!* CONSISTENCY?! WHAT IS CONSISTENCY?!?!

[@Snowy_Weather]

A lot of those things also appear in the book, but the book has so much more room to explain the motivations of the characters. And in the book, we are meant to pity Quasimodo but that doesn't mean everything he does is good. He was abused and brainwashed his whole life in the book. No wonde he didn't turn out as the best person. Esmeralda did indeed feel pity for Quasimodo, but she still was afraid of him as well. Of course, she never fell in love with Quasi and she dies in the end, just like every other character except for Phoebus and Pierre. In the book, Esmeralda did confess to attacking Phoebus but only after being tortured. She said it so the torture would stop.

The two earlier songs are kinda good, but the third mone, which already is too bland and a copycat, outright contradicts the point of the story. The song is about how his infatuation has freed him, but in the original story, such "love" puts you in danger or makes you evil (funny that an adulterer did that point, but that's another case).

[@morganyoung3557]

Aside from the ending and cutting out the reason why Esmeralda had confessed to killing Phoebus because she was tortured until she confessed, this was surprisingly accurate to the novel. Though I will say that this ending where Esmeralda fell in love with Quasimodo while not as good as the ending of the Disney version where the city accepted him and praised him as a hero, it was not as insulting as him either secretly being an angel, being handsome all along, or Esmeralda leaving him to rot forever in prison while she just walked away with Pierre. Also I can assure you that this opening song is never going to topple The Bells of Notre Dame as the best opening song for this story.

[@CJCroen1393]

Goodtimes!Frollo: (trying to stab Esmeralda) Be mine! Me: OR YOU WILL BUUUUUUUUUUUURN!!!!!!! Weirdly enough, I think these versions of Frollo and Phoebus are among the most accurate in any adaptation. I can only ask why so many adaptations won't accept the love between Pierre and Djali.

To be completely fair, add some actual character development, and this would actually be a somewhat decent adaptation....although the logic of being stabbed in the back and only needing a sling for your arm would still be highly questionable.

[@DalekTheSupreme]

Really, even Quasimodo's likability could have been salvaged if he had questioned Frollo or expressed unwillingness or reluctance to capture Esmerelda, if not outright trying to stand up to Frollo, and have Arch Judge-Deacon Frollo hit him and/or threaten him. Then they would have established the abusive relationship between the two, and that Quasimodo at least has the potential to be a better person than his father.

[@antonmasters8626]

Yeah got to agree

[@andreamess5345]

@@DalekTheSupreme i mean, none of that happened in the book tho. he was never supposed to be a sweet likable angel in the first place. he never question whether or not kidnapping someone is bad, he just simply did it because someone he loved asked him to do

[@r.jclark4641]

​@@andreamess5345 Right, the original character is, like you've said, basically a puppydog who will go along with anything as long as someone he loves tells him to do it., and he took psychotic glee in causing others harm, like smashing in a guard's face or pouring molten lead on the angry mob. There's a reason Quasimodo was considered part of the Universal Monsters for the longest time. To be honest, while this is going to sound like absolute sacrilege to Hugo purists, I prefer Disney's take on the character to the original novel - the original character just kinda feels like a cruel stereotype despite actually being the most heroic character in the book.

[@geardog24]

Well it's obvious why Judge Majin Buu put Quasimodo in the stocks. He may have been a terrible judge, but he was a brilliant scientist.

[@phreakazoith2237]

the judge is deaf as well but hides it. Quasimodo getting punished and getting punished extra was the result of several misunderstandings created by this fact. he got sentenced for disrespecting the court when his answers did not match the judge's questions at all.

There's an anime of another Victor Hugo classic, Les Miserables, called Shoujo Cosette that's actually pretty dang good.

[@brandonlyon730]

There is also a Anime version of the little mermaid but unlike other versions it actually uses the original fairy tale's sad ending

[@foxygrin]

Brandon Lyon Phelous has to review that one

[@AbraCadaveric]

For what it is, this has pretty good animation and is a decently accurate to the book adaptation - that doesn't make it a good movie, but it has a lot more going for it than the other ones Phelous reviewed. It failed as a movie by not establishing any reason to care for the characters if you're completely unfamiliar with the story and didn't seem to have very good storytelling, but I'm actually kind of impressed.

[@rejectrealism]

AbraCadaveric agreed but they could of used more bonding.

[@scottylewis8124]

AbraCadaveric so yeah while this isn't the worst cash in by Goodtimes entertainment, it does leave you asking a few questions.

[@bigcreator2084]

The problem is that they cared too much to be faithful to the book that they forgot to make us relate to the characters and make a story we can follow. The ending was rather forced and the last song opposes the message of the book.

Except for Esmeralda surviving her mother not being there and Quasimodo not getting whipped this is one of if not the most accurate adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame a lot of the quotes are directly from the book including Esmeralda shouting murder when Pierre gets knocked down

[@robertcorbell1006]

The 1982 live-action British version follows it almost similarly, but retaining everything from the book and following it pretty much to the letter for the most part with the main exception of the 1938 film ending where after being discovered and the gypsies come to the rescue as they battle the guard, Esmeralda escapes with Pierre (who she falls in love with in this as a shoehorned plot aside from the main one once rejected by Captain Phoebus) while Quasimodo creates a distraction and is chased to the rooftops before pulling Frollo (an archdeacon as in this and the novel) from the roof, then holding on to one of the gargoyles for a moment as he realizes he's screwed if he lets them save him, thus he lets go. They keep much of the dialogue, much of the themes, and is perhaps the one other accurate version besides this one. I personally consider it my go-to film adaptation due to the few changes not being all that bad and an homage to the few decent things from the classic black-and-white version that was almost in-name-only, i.e., the ending while having properly adjusted the love story (not compositing the two guys into an honorable swashbuckler and changing the genre as was the fault of the original while keeping the added romantic element that makes for good Hollywood). You should Google it.

Seeing Kathleen Barr was in this annoys me just as much as seeing Christopher Lee in the Beauty and the beast one. The Great and Powerful Trixie was in some movies she's not proud of, it seems

[@masterfarr8265]

the new adventures of he man was made by jetlag and she was there too, maybe she was one of their in house voice actors like Gary Chalk

Well, unlike Christopher Lee in Bevanfield, Kathleen Barr was a regular in GoodTimes productions. Saruman 1 - 0 Trixie

[@Longshanks1690]

For what most people consider one of Disneys lesser films, it sure did get a hell of a lot of rip offs.

[@brandonlyon730]

Interesting also that the little mermaid despite it being the movie that started renaissance and one of the most popular princesses only had one as I'm aware of.

[@Thane3999]

Brandon Lyon No, it had two sequels. Maybe even a TV show.

[@brandonlyon730]

But those came from Disney themselves, I'm talking about other companies taking the fairly tale and make their own to cash in on the Disney movie. So far all their was is the one good times movie and that's it not even a Dingo version of the little mermaid exists.

[@rejectrealism]

I loved the Disney hunchback of Notre Dame.

[@teckworks]

(1:48) That arm scar speaks volumes considering the movie you're watching...

[@ciciizo1193]

Hey, I found out there's an animated tv series based off The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. I discovered it on accident on Tvtropes, it's apparently called The Magical Adventures Of Quasimodo. Looks pretty dumb all things considered, so you consider checking it out and reviewing it... and no, I'm not making it up, it actually does exist (don't know if it'd be easy to find or not)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hall of Fame Disney: Best Hunchback film (it's my favorite Disney movie, so of course it's the best) The Secret of the Hunchback: Ripped off many elements from the Disney version (ex. singing gargoyles and Frollo singing in front of a fireplace) Golden Films: Most ridiculous story-wise Goodtimes: Most accurate to the original novel...surprisingly Dingo: Visually the worst...just...ew

Brandon Lyon Tsar of Fools.

[@brandonlyon730]

But isn't the patriarch the highest raking official of Orthodox Christianity just as the pope is to Catholics.

[@MediumRareOpinions]

That does ring a bell but i'm not too familiar with the structure of Orthodox Christianity to be honest. Tsar seems more familiar a russian title and was sort of a link back to Phelous's " Tsar of reviews" joke, but I think you may be right about the Patriarch being the most senior religious figure in Russia.

[@UndeadHavoc1]

"His heart was as thick as the sky"? So... his heart was so thin, anything could pass through it like it didn't exist? If anything, I do like the art in the film... not the animation, but the art doesn't look too (remembers Pierre's escaping eye)... it was okay. Very okay art.

[@rejectrealism]

Eddie Price you mean background Art?

[@UndeadHavoc1]

Eh, the backgrounds aren't too terrible. Kinda bland an' empty, seems like. More or less meant the characters, but eh. It's a Good Times flick, so I'm prolly giving them too much credit regardless. I mean, it's sure as Hell no Disney picture! Better than Dingo, though.

I've started reading the actual novel recently, and, after reading some of it, the Goodtimes version actually seems to be the most accurate adaption. Granted, it's still full of shit like the others, but this one seems to have the most similar plot points and characters. Take that as you will.

[@AllyGatorAnimator]

When the intro kicked in I got a massive wave of nostalgia as I remembered watching this...then terror when I remembered what it was actually like. I was going to pull a "TO BE FAIR" on myself and say that they managed to get the most from the book into this version but then it cancels itself out by having that stupid ending. I get people wishing that had happened in the Disney version, because Quasimodo was actually sweet and had chemistry with Esmerelda, but in this? I was hoping they'd pull a "Secret of the Hunchback" ending and have him fly into the sun, never to return.
