Editorial Reviews: 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
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Hunchback of Notre Dam Comment: This is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies, as well as my daughter's (who dressed up like Esmerelda 3 Halloweens in a row!). She still has the scarf, which is like 13 years old!! Great movie!! Customer Rating: Summary: great movie Comment: I think this is a great movie. I've read the book and its VERY deep. this movie is so much better to me.And I think they made the characters more likable. For example in the book phoebus is nothing but a womanizer and I cant help but not like him,in this movie i think hes great,mabey one of my favorite disney heros. This isnt a movie for really young kids i guess but,i watched it when i was little and it never bothered me,i didnt pay any attention to the bad stuff of the movie. I think this is one of the best disney movies I've ever seen. Customer Rating: Summary: Hunch Back Comment: Excellent movie, wonderful music. Grandchildren have thoroughly enjoyed this movie - very good message. Customer Rating: Summary: Hunchback of Notre Dame Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Underrated!! Comment: 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.) More Reviews
