Alicia I love this movie so much

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Kristie Ann Webb The animation may be beautiful, but has a totally disappointing plot, which should have earned a PG-13 rating. I'm disappointed in the writers for villainizing Christianity, I mean, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!? And another thing, there are sexual related contents that are linked in a Disney movie, such as a dark complacent chick who danced provocative, seducing a man, and pole dancing. Seriously, this is not for kids.

Cesar Castro One of the best and most underrated Disney movies ever. Very well executed and the soundtrack is amazing! I loved it when I was a kid and I love it now. Rewatch it so many years later was so good and made me understand some things that I couldn't as a child.

Mark T. Outside of the of popular 90s Disney animated movies lies one of the most dark, human, and honest feature films created by this "squeaky clean" production company. The most adult themed content found in other rated G Disney pictures were subliminal and immature sexual allusions. In the Hunchback of Notre Dame, issues of superficial, racial, and religious prejudice are brought out to the forefront for the audience to contemplate.If it wasn't for the goofy gargoyle characters to lighten up the mood every so often, the world this picture inhabits is quite bleak. Frollo orders the genocide of gypsies because he cannot deal with his lust for Esmeralda. Frollo tries to drop baby Quasimodo down the well before he is caught by the priest. The locals of Paris are portrayed as a fickle mob: in one moment cheering on Quasimodo for who he is, then turning, laughing and ridiculing him moments later. Towards the back end of the movie the people of Paris are again swayed by one speech to revolt against their own officials. Must they always listen and believe whoever is on stage speaking?What ultimately sets this apart from other Disney films the most is that the main character doesn't get the love interest in the end. Was he only cared for by Esmeralda out of pity? Leave it to Disney to tell kids that saving the day doesn't get the girl. You have to look handsome too.

Filipe Neto This film tells the story of Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre Dame in Paris, who lives hidden because of his deformity and an oppressive tutor, who is also the chief judge of the city. Based on the Victor Hugo's novel, this animated film has direction of Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise, a script by Tab Murphy and a competent cast of voice actors led by Demi Moore, Tom Hulce and Tony Jay. The music was done by Alan Menken and was nominated for an Oscar in the correspondent category.We're facing an animated film, of the Disney Studios, probably one of the best of this genre in the nineties. The animations are excellent, in vivid colors that look good on the screen and shining properly, without exaggeration. The script is also good and makes an adaptation, light and well thought out, of the story in the original novel, thought to adult readers and, therefore, very different from the story that this movie brings us, looking to pass simple messages like acceptance of differences of others, courage and honesty in defense of ideals, sincere love "versus" profane love. Religion and faith are also addressed, with the cathedral serving as a symbol of faith and protection, but also hope. The two main characters (Frollo and Quasimodo) were also very well thought: Quasimodo is the living proof of the popular saying "to see a face isn't to see a heart", because his disturbing appearance hides a noble heart and great generosity; Frollo is the complete opposite: its a apparently righteous man occupying a public office that requires moral rectitude, but he has a truly sinister heart, bad character and is totally hypocrite. Undoubtedly one of the best villains that Disney has ever created.The work of the voice actors was very well done and does not deserve negative criticisms. The same can be said of the powerful and profound musical moments. The major exception is the song "A Guy Like You" because it doesn't fit the rest of the film, coming at a point of increasing dramatic tension and cutting it in half. In short, its a great film for the whole family, will please both children and adults and endure in the memory of viewers.
