    After the critical and commercial success of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, the Walt Disney Pictures animation studio embarked on their most serious and ambitious animated feature to date with this adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel Notre Dame de Paris. Quasimodo (voice of Tom Hulce) is a grotesquely deformed but kind-hearted young man who was abandoned by his parents as an infant and thrown down a well; he was rescued by the priests of Notre Dame, the massive cathedral in the heart of Paris, and he lives there, earning his keep as a bell ringer. Quasimodo has become the ward of Judge Frollo (voice of Tony Jay), an outwardly pious but deeply hateful man who treats Quasimodio with indifference and violently loathes the Gypsies who spend their days in the cathedral's courtyard. Frollo hopes to clear the Gypsies out of Paris with the help of Phoebus (voice of Kevin Kline), leader of the troops under Frollo's command. However, Phoebus does not share Frollo's racist views and harbors no ill will against the Gypsies. When Quasimodo is crowned King of the Fools after leaving Notre Dame during the annual festival of Topsy Turvy Day, the hunchback is ordered beaten by the guards as punishment, but Esmerelda (voice of Demi Moore), a hot-blooded but compassionate gypsy beauty, shows pity on him and helps free him from his chains. The lovely Esmerelda is the first woman to show kindness to the unfortunate Quasimodo, and the hunchback soon falls in love with her. However, the dashing Phoebus is also infatuated with her, and Esmerelda is attracted to Phoebus as well, though she feels a motherly affection for the hunchback. Judge Frollo finds that he also desires Esmerelda, which only inflames his hatred for the Gypsies when she refuses his proposals. Darker and less outwardly comic than most of Disney's features, The Hunchback of Notre Dame does feature comic relief in the form of Victor (voice of Charles Kimbrough) and Hugo (voice of Jason Alexander), a pair of gargoyles who befriend Quasimodo, as well as several songs from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.

    August 12, 2008: This isn't exactly for kids and does have some themes that are probably for older teens. This is the story of Quasimodo who feels that he is a monster and is taken in by the creepy Judge. That's when Esmeralda comes in and helps Quasimodo including Phoebes the Guard leader. The opening scene has to be the saddest next to during the Festival of Fools event where Quasimodo won and later the Esmeralda finds out that he's not wearing a mask. And especially the climatic scene where Quasimodo tries to save Esmeralda from being burned at the stake. Its based on the novel by Victor Hugo and the film does seem to be a bit dark and is for the older crowd. Esmeralda is another favorite character of mine amongst the Disney princesses. Oh yeah and the ending was a little confusing I remember seeing this in theaters and my friend asked me: so are they throwing him out of their city or what? After the people were cheering and picked up Quasimodo and stuff. I just found that weird but loved the film. Anyway check this out and you should watch it with your kids and talk with them in case they get scared or something or are confused.

    July 23, 2006: The movie was very good... the animation was excellent, the songs were great, the score was beautiful... but this movie is more of an "older kids and adult" type of movie. If you are expecting "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" to be a non-scary, kid-safe movie like "The Lion King", "Beauty and the Beast", or "Aladdin", you will be pretty disappointed. Frollo (the film's cruel villain) chases a gypsy woman and kills her (though non-bloody. She dies because Frollo pushes her down the church stairs, and she lies there motionless). When Frollo sees that a baby is deformed, he wants to throw it down a well, but a deacon stops him. Frollo also sets fire to innocent people's houses (though everyone makes it out okay). When Quasi and Phoebus enter some catacombs, we see some skeletons and other bones. Frollo also brainwashes Quasimodo by telling him that he's "ugly" and is a "monster". Though the movie had a very good message to it, a lot of violence is played through out the movie. I would not recommend this movie to kids 9 and under, but preteens and teens should enjoy this movie.
