The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (Animated)

Advantages: good story, lots of action
Disadvantages: serious theme, might be unsuitable for very young

Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame was released in 1996 and was directed by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise. While it was quite different from Disneys previous work, it did well and it is one of my favourite classic Disney movies. The movie is availabe on DVD between £9 - £17, depending on where you buy it. The cheapest place to buy this movie online is Amazon.co.uk for £9.97 This movie runs at 91 minutes. It's suitable for all ages, however one ...
...I'll leave it up for the parents to decide. I was 10 when I first seen this and I was fine, apart from the FOF scene. There is quite an extensive list of people who lent their voicing talents for this movie, here are the main ones: Quasimodo: Tom Hulce Esmerelda: Demi Moore Frollo: Tony Jay Phoebus: Kevin Kline This movie is set in Paris (as you may have guessed!) and tells the story of the bellringer Quasimodo, who is forbidden by his master ...

Advantages: Enjoyable songs.
Disadvantages: Slightly sad for younger viewers in certain scenes.

High up in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral lives a hunchbacked man who rings the bells every morning, wishing he could join the people down there in the streets but his Master Frollo forbids him to ever go down there. When he hears the celebrations of the annual festival of fools, Quasimodo just can't help himself and sneaks out of the bell tower to see the festival... A smash hit for all ages, showing people that beauty is not just on the ...

The movie has been translated into several languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Hebrew and Greek.) and there are subtitles for people with hearing problems. I love this movie, the voice actor for Frollo (Tony Jay) was the best singer out of all of the cast and I'm glad I bought this DVD so I can play the songs over and over again. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent story. Once you start watching you won't be able to stop.
Disadvantages: I do not think there are any disadvantages with this film. There will probably be one.

Advantages: Usual high class animation
Disadvantages: Slightly predictable

...The Hunchback of Notre Dame is another fine animation film from Disney. The characters are all well defined, and the storyline typically pitches good against evil with good coming out on top. The music is catchy, and the animation of its usual very high standard. All in all there are no major faults with the film at all, and both children and adults are sure to enjoy it. However, I do have to confess to being a little disappointed. All the standard Disney fare was included in the film, yet my attention tended to wander from time to time. Maybe it is the fact that is is a familiar story, or possibly because it is a little predictable, but whatever the reason this will never be a favourite film of mine.... Read review

Disadvantages: Not enough understandable humour content for young children

...-landing straight into another definite Oscar nominee spot. It’s nice to see that from the “just a tear away” card, the usual stereotypical role of Jennifer Saunder’s fairy Godmother had a trickier plan up her own sleeve, instead of the crap wand-magic dust we bought as kids. It’s also nice to see that apart from the ‘Hunchback of Notre dame’, Shrek 2 was one more animation that used more than just a beautiful size 6 character to promote itself, proud enough to include itself inside a category of Disney-backstabbing films. Like I commented before to my dearest friend once, “It’s not like you usually see a fat b***h playing Cinderella, now do you?” On a downer note, the soundtrack could use a bit of detox, apart from Saunder’s providing an orchestra of wonderful justify-my-arse lyrics, the songs were a bit tad similar to ‘Beauty and the Beast...
