It's not the best of the Disney movies, but it's one that does hold up to several watches. Jay is a little hammy as the (delightfully evil) Frollo, and Hulce doesn't really make an impact as Quasimodo, but Kline and Moore are impressively cast and there are some songs that fit well into the proud tradition of Disney music. It'd be better without the irritating gargoyle sidekicks, but -- especially as a result of the gorgeous animation -- it's hard not to come away happy.

Not that good

OK, I suppose. There are good intentions and the underlying story could certainly work in this context,but you'd have to give kids a bit more credit than Disney does here. The gargoyles, the songs and the unwillingness to be consistent in tone hamper the film and leave it wallowing in mild acceptability.

It was time after time kind of suitable, but the story was horribly lame. The ugly Quasimodo was too goodlooking and the ending was worst of all. I liked the idea of imaginary friends though.

A dark film for children, but perfectly suited for the adults watching it.

At the time, I chose to see this as proof that I was done with animated movies. Maybe it just wasn't that good, but I certainly was bored.

A good animated film from Disney, but considerably darker than their usual fare.

Another Disney film ruined by comic relief.

It's another one of these foreseeable Disney-hits, drawn the same way as the rest of their 90's-films (except maybe Lion King), full of deeeecent jokes and often 1 or 2 great characters, where the rest are just pretty lame. It's always up to this: how many good characters are there, how many boring ones? This one is just very so-so, few characters are interesting. Bah.

It has some powerful scenes between Esmeralda and Frollo as it explores the dark, impure, catastrophic and heinous carnal desire the minister harbours for the gypsy - "Hellfire", in particular, was a stunning scene visually and vocally with haunting lyrics, but the rest of it is less compelling sap to remind us this is still a children's movie. It is silly to judge it in terms of Victor Hugo's masterpiece; this one is merely a frivolous, kid-friendly modern and cheap adaptation for the masses.

Great score, good story, plus great performance by Tony Jay, makes this a classic.

Soild Disney effort from the 90's. Certainly one of their better movies of the decade.

Too much damned singing! And the hunchback still doesnt get the girl, the big dumb blonde guy does. Lame.

I've seen this film. I know I have. But it's made so poor an impression on me I can only conjure the vaguest impressions of what it was about. I just know that I never want to watch it again. Disney can make some great stories, and then... they can really fuck some shit up. And this movie will forever ruin The Hunchback of Notre Dame for me.
