TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 28 Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame is often misunderstood, but it remains a powerful and compelling film. The story of Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Phoebus is rich with character development, exploring themes of isolation, judgment, and inner beauty. Quasimodo’s pure heart contrasts sharply with a society that ridicules him for his appearance, while Esmeralda’s struggles highlight the prejudice faced by marginalized people. Though Frollo’s song is undeniably inappropriate for children, it reflects the dark complexity of the story rather than undermining it. Demi Moore’s performance as Esmeralda is heartfelt and commanding, making her an unforgettable heroine. Despite controversy, the film stands as a timeless Disney classic, blending emotion, morality, and artistry. See more Noah H @Noah85 Jan 11 An underrated Disney classic. Yeah, the tone may be a little all over the place, but there is STILL so much to love about this one. The animation, specifically the 2D characters paired with 3D backgrounds, still looks GORGEOUS by today’s standards. Tom Hulce is a GREAT Quasimodo, in my opinion, and Demi Moore absolutely nails her role as Esmeralda. But the true star of the show is Claude Frollo. I am just going to say it. ONE OF THE BEST DISNEY VILLAINS EVER!!! That is right, you heard me. Tony Jay KILLS this role, bringing to life a villain dripping with malice everywhere he goes. Honestly, if I had seen this movie as a kid, his villain song would have creeped the CRAP out of me. Speaking of which, the songs are CAPTIVATING. Some of them almost made me cry, especially, "Heaven’s Light", "God Help the Outcasts," and, "Out There". I strongly advise you to give this one a watch. You will not regret it.

See more D3Z 1 Dec 30 Whilst Disney's take of Hugo Victor's adaptation of the Hunchback if Notre Dame does have some minor uneven moments and a slightly darker tone in contrast to its other animated features, it was still a joy to watch especially with the development and growth amongst its characters especially with Quasimodo.

A beautiful love story between a man with a hunchback and a pretty Gypsy lady. See more Kevin P Dec 26 Such an emotionally powerful visual spectacle that could never be made again. Quasimodo is such a sympathetic and compelling character longing for human connection. Frollo is an amazing villain and easily Disney's clueless villain ever put to film. He's voiced wonderfully by Tony Jay and he gets the most intense Dianey Villain song ever with Hellfire. Esmerelda is a compelling rebellious character and she showcases how terrifying it is to be the object of lust from a higher authority figure like Frollo. The Gargoyles are annoying comic relief and the entire movie's comedy really clashes with the tone. I loved the Patrick Star voice cameo from Bill Fagerbakke. I adore the gorgeous artwork of Notre Dame and the epic gothic choir soundtrack. They give the movie such an epic grand scale that is truly mesmerizing to watch. I love the epic and dark opening with the bells of Notre Dame. The climax is exhilarating, and the film ends on a mature note about acceptance and moving on. See more Read all reviews
