The Hunchback of Notre Dame II

Of all the DTV sequels Disney has crapped out over the years, this is by far the worst. It deserves to burn in Hellfire.

(2014-15 Disneython #27 SEQUEL:) The main thing the original Hunchback of Notre Dame had going for it was its interestingly dark tone for a Disney flick, so putting the same characters into a total cheeseball Saturday morning cartoon-esque context just doesn't work at all.

I honestly wanted to like this one at least a little; the songs are better than a lot of Disney sequels, and it at least tries for a budget version of the really impressive shots. But... when you take a movie about the oppression and stereotypes that gypsies (Romani, but that's the word they use) get, and follow it up with a movie where a wandering circus of untrustworthy thieves is lead by a vaguely ethnic guy, and the only one who isn't a thief is the white lady... yeeeeeah

File this under unnecessary and abysmal.

Everything good about the first movie is removed, neutered or utterly destroyed. Everything terrible about the movie (gargoyles) is amplified. This thing is shit, it's heavy-handed, it's awful, don't watch it.

Absolute trash, even by Disney cash grab direct to VHS sequels standards. I don't even think kids would like it since it was boring, unfunny, and no song even inspired anything.

If ever a movie didn't need a sequel, then here we have it.

A bell that's bejeweled on the inside can serve no purpose and is a waste of space, and makes for horrible role-model or whatever the hell it's supposed to represent. If I were that bell I'd hate myself, and so should you.
