Editorial Review: Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Underrated!!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 ...

However, the song Hellfire is too dark. Rating:  - Pretty decent, but couldn't they have taken bigger chances with this?I have read "Notre-Dame de Paris (a.k.a. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame)" by Victor Hugo, and it has become one of my all-time favorite books. When I saw the Disney adaptation, I was a bit disappointed. Let me start with the good. THE GOOD SIDE: I admire the beautiful animation (especially the accurate rendering of the Notre-Dame cathedral). It's all been done very splendidly. The songs "Topsy Turvy" and "God Help the Outcasts" are very enjoyable, while the songs "Hellfire" and "The Bells ... Read More Rating:  - The worst, worst, worst of all Disney!I was appalled at this film. The female main character of this story is a gypsy woman, which wouldn't be a problem but given her attire and manner, she acts more like an exotic dancer and is by no means a role-model for little girls. Her dress looks like it will fall off during much of the show and the hunchback has a bunch of stone character friends that come to life. They do one skit where they make a joke of the Catholic pope and the pope figure head pops off. The only good character in the film ... Read More Rating: - The Best Movie EVER made by DisneyYes, it was darker than other Disney movie but I think without the darkness it would be horrible and make no sence. Let your children watch it! I had it on tape when I was 5 I didn't understand Hellfire or Frollo lusting for her but I loved the movie still. It all can't be super happy, sooner or later your going to have to tell your children that the world can be horrible. Besides compared to the book it is quite "happy".
