I recommend toy story 1-4 and american pie 2&3 please your reactions are so great
What is your favorite Disney movie!
1482 AD is the film's setting.
@@ZVChimney oh, really. I did not know that.
"So many bodies." Sounds like someone needs to Google the Old Catacombs of Paris. The walls are literally lined with hundreds, if not thousands, of skulls and bones.
The most darkest and mature Disney movie ever…. And I love it! And Frollo is no doubt one of the most evil and most realistic villains ever
You are very wrong in that comment of the darkest and mature Disney movie ever one of the darkest is the underrated 1985 classic The Black cauldron
"Most darkest" is not grammatically correct... I'm an asshole I know.
No piggy 🐷
second, imo, only to “Mother” Gothel
@@oforth No.
Correction he is LUSTING after her not crushing because that would indicate his intentions were innocent
Mary doesn’t know that the stone characters are called gargoyles lol
Frollo is the most evil villain in Disney animated history. He isn’t evil for evil’s sake or to gain material possessions/power. He actually thinks he’s the beacon of morality and that he is the good guy. It’s very scary that people like this actually exist.
Many of which won't stop grabbing for regressive policy here in the US, and an unfortunate several have lifetime appointments. Gotta do something about those black-robed freaks, people. If you live here, please vote.
No 🤡🐷
I don't know if he's the most evil, but I think he's maybe the most unsettling because he's the kind of person that has existed to some degree. He's not magical and he's more serious than say Gaston. He's a racist hypocrite willing to harass a woman of an ethnicity he despises. People like that still live among us.
The first lines of his villain song shows this perfectly.
"of my virtues I am justly proud" - pride is a Deadly Sin for a reason
@@MrGBH 🤡🐷
Alan Menken (the composer) is one of the key reasons why Disney really flourished in the 1990s. There's a reason why this dude has won 8 Oscars (all for Disney musicals released during this period).
Dude was untouchable in the 90s
8 Oscars? That’s incredible, for that is more awards than what Hans Zimmer and John Williams had earned combined and that’s saying something. My hat’s off to that man.
He represents the hidden anonymous talent that makes great films so great, and his absence is sorely felt even if it will never be known by many
Alan Menken also composed the music for "Tangled" and he even acknowledged the similarities between the relationship between Quasimodo and Frollo and the relationship between Rapunzel and Mother Gothel.
And don't forget Alan's partner in this musical, Stephen Schwartz, who was not afraid of tackling more serious subjects in his work (alongside working on Pocahontas with Alan, he also worked on The Prince of Egypt, Godspell, Children of Eden, and Wicked).
The animators for this movie were given special permission to tour the cathedral.
Much of what you see of it in here is a faithful depiction of the real thing.
No.
Hellfire scene has so much hidden meaning the song was intended to contrast with the song "Heaven's Light" which was sung by Quasimodo just moments earlier expressing his desire for love and hope that Esmeralda may love him while "Hellfire" focuses on Frollo's internal conflict between his feelings of lust for her and his hatred of the Romani people.
The faceless soldier whose obscured by the light in way symbolizes an angel sent to give Frollo one last chance to redeem himself by stopping his madness. But as expected he turns his back on redemption and was left to drown in his own darkness. The shadows represent him making a deal with the devil to give him what he desires his lust, temptation, and greed for a woman regardless regardless if it means genocide of innocent people and burning of entire city. Frollo is much more realistic villain due to how there is people out there like him and Frollo actively persecutes Esmeralda he does so partly because he believes that his attraction to her is a sign of his own spiritual damnation. Frollo wants to retain his purity because he believes that this will protect his soul and that he will ultimately be rewarded in Heaven for his abstinence.
"Out There" remains one of my favourite Disney songs to this day
I had a Romani girl wink at me once. My friend and I had been talking to her and her father chased us off. I retroactively put that moment on my bucket list.
Frollo is a true-to-life villain. A religious man who thinks he’s the good guy and blames the woman for his naughty thoughts.
She winked at you so that after her father ran off the group (too many young men to manage), you would come back alone and get close so she could take your wallet.
@@stevealford230
Ok, Frollo
There's a theory about the gargoyle coming to life in Frollo's eyes:
Frollo slowly lost his soul and humanity over the years, and by the end his humanity was completely gone. And since gargoyles are meant to protect establishments from demons, it perceived Frollo as an evil spirit and sent him to Hell.
Or:
It was Satan claiming his price after 20 years of waiting for Frollo to squander away the chance for redemption he received from the Archdeacon.
"And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit" moments later the stone thingie collapses and he falls into the fire
In my opinion frollo is the scariest villain ever because people like him exist....
That’s actually scary.😬
@@thepowerfulwolfspirit.2581 it truly is all the other Disney villains are fantasy or whatever but frollo, could be anyone, someone who is a religion nut and no I'm not saying everyone who's religious is this way but there are some fanatics... People or some people can be lust driven.... That's real how many spell casting octopus have you met 🤣🤣 none! How many frollo's if you think about probably a lot
Well, he is voiced by the same guy (RIP) who voiced Megabyte in *Reboot* and he was ever more scarier when he got a Trojan horse upgrade.
Undoubtedly one of Disney’s darkest movies and also one of my favorites. Hellfire is the best villain song ever
Who else, would ridicule that masterpiece of a song, as Mary did?
I remember the marketing for this movie heavily promoting the more "fun" aspects like the Festival of Fools and the gargoyles.
Then you actually see it and surprise! It's dark AF, and an underrated classic.
The gargoyles' names are significant. The males are Victor and Hugo, after Victor Hugo, who wrote the original "Hunchback of Notre Dame".
"What kinda church is this?" The kind where they haven't installed the teleporter yet. lol
2:29 It’s a a misdirect, he didn’t specify who was the monster when really it’s Frolo.
Exactly, Quasimodo is the man and Frollo the monster.
It's a great misdirect
A lot of people criticize the movie for having Esmeralda end up with Phoebus instead of Quasi, but there are reasons for that. Primarily, Quasi was too emotionally immature to handle a relationship at this time. He puts Esmeralda on a pedestal and viewed her as some kind of flawless goddess; note how everything he did was for her rather than for what was right or wrong, while both Esmeralda and Phoebus acted for what was right. But that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted to be treated like a normal person, and that's what Phoebus did, he viewed and treated her as an equal. Plus, they both showed an interest in each other before she even met Quasi. By the sequel though (as awful as it was), there's a noticeable growth in emotional development in Quasi, and he does become emotionally mature enough for a relationship, which is why he's able to handle his new love interest.
Makes sense. But oh man... Book Phoebus was a villain equal to Frollo. Phoebus was engaged to be married, cheated on his fiancé to have a one night stand with Esmeralda, who was only 16. Sadly, Esmeralda was head over heels for Phoebus and thought he really loved her. Phoebus thinks Esmeralda tried kill her, when in actuality Frollo framed her, and Phoebus still condemns her to death to clear his name from such a scandal to his future wife.
To be fair to him, Esmeralda IS a flawess goddess through the entire movie
"are they calling her that just because she's brown"
not just that. but also because of her clothing.
This is TRULY an underrated gem. One of my favorites!
Gypsy is not an offensive term, they call themselves Romani Gypsies, its a few individuals who want to appear self righteous who claim its offensive.
The origin is simply that medieval people believed these nomadic people were descendants of the ancient Egyptians, which got shortened to Gypsy, thats all.
The fact that the commonplace name for them is considered a slur because of the connotations that name brings with it - well, that's telling on its own, isn't it?
The two most famous film versions of Hunchback along with this one are the 1923 version staring Lon Chaney (the Man of a Thousand Faces) and the 1939 version starring Charles Laughton. The latter is where this version gets most of its inspiration from.
There is an amazing fanfic out there called Perdition, where Frollo wakes up and finds himself in Notre Dame, and discovers he has died… and everybody around him transforms into demons and reveal he’s going to hell. Frollo runs outside the church only to find he’s now trapped on Bald Mountain and Chernabog is about to throw him into the inferno forever. It is AMAZING. 😂
I love your reaction so much! Hellfire is absolutely haunting and incredible! This film is so underrated and thank you for watching it ❤
Also a cool detail is that during the end of hellfire, the solder who told Frollo that Esmeralda had escaped was basked in an heavenly blue and white light while Frollo was in the hellish red and orange light.
This symbolizes that God gave Frollo a chance to do the right thing and let Esmeralda go, but Frollo refused and gave into his sins as he turned towards the fire, implying that he’s made his final choice and that he is going to hell.
Frollo is & will always be the scariest villain Disney has ever created. The kind of men that Frollo was written after have always & will always exist, using their position of authority or even religious influence to hold power over people, or even worse, claim their actions are holy. I saw the Off-Broadway production of Hunchback at the Paper Mill Playhouse a long time ago & it was so good. I'm still sad it never got a proper Broadway run.
Frollo is the most human character that represents the dark and twisted nature of humanity
This is one Disney animated movie that I actually would like to see adapted to live action. The story still holds up and I have a perfect director in mind, Guillermo Del Toro.
I think that would be very cool!
not to shatter the idea of Guillermo Del Toro directing a Hunchback of Notre Dam movie but Disney with their track record of studio interference would really mess up a potentially striking work of art.
There already are a number of live action versions of Notre Dame de Paris and some of them might also be closer to Victor Hugo's novel.
Personally I don’t want this to be a live action remake because I’d rather they adapted the much darker stage show into a film
I learned from Assassin's Creed games that the Roma people were called Gypsy because they lived in the Egyptian quarter of Constantinople (Modern Istanbul)
This Disney movie covered very adult topics like cultural intolerance, genocidal intentions, and lust.
Yep, too much for a 4yo to comprehend. I think that’s the age I was when I watched it last
Another Disney film 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA from 1954 is a very strong competition there too. Very dark and adult oriented in its themes despite minor flaws.
Regarding Tom Hulce (voice actor of Quasimodo), you need to watch AMADEUS (1984) ASAP!! This is one of the greatest movies ever made IMO. Won 8 Oscars including Picture, and each and every win was deserved.
I personally consider AMADEUS to be one of the rare perfectly executed films where all aspects of filmmaking work together in perfect sync with each other.
Can't believe Pinto from Animal House is Quasimodo.
Agreed. I love that movie. I'd say watch the directors cut because there are a few scene that didn't make it to the theatrical cut that help the story line along.
It's hard to choose, but this may be my favorite Disney movie. The setting is beautiful, the music is moving, and it has a powerful message. This is definitely one of the darker movies, but I think that's why it stands out. And that music at the end gives absolute chills.
I want an explanation on what the hell the king was doing at this time
“Your majesty, the justice minister is laying siege to Notre Dame and burning the city and there’s a peasant revolt going on right now. I think this requires your attention”
Maybe the king was meant to be out of the country on a war campaign at the time. Phoebus was just coming back from a military deployment at the start, it might have been from the king's army.
The novel is set in 1482 - the year before Louis XI died after years of poor health. He’s not up to doing much so courtiers and officials are running the show.
Perhaps, as this is set in Disney France, the king was turned into a beast and his closest advisors and servants and agents into items. (Just kidding, I know Beauty & the Beast predates the Hunchback of Notre Dame story wise)
Tony Jay had such a magnificent voice for villain roles.
The time Disney made a movie about religious bigotry and genocide, with a bunch of racial slurs to boot
ENFP here and you exemplify that NF passion here! The catacombs under Paris have the bones of thousands of people. It is crazy to see and it is possible to take tours of them.
This is a film that I enjoyed as a kid and have found a new appreciation for as an adult, especially after 5 semesters of Latin in college. It is also amongst Disney's darkest films, with its darkest villain and some of the best music the Disney Renaissance has to offer.
Quasimodo - Patron Saint of the Friend Zone
2:45 Fun fact: Frollo's horse is unofficially named Snowball!😅
26:40 The stage adaptation is more in line with the tone of the original novel by Victor Hugo, though it has the music from the Disney animated film, but Esmeralda actually does die from smoke inhalation but not before thanking Quasimodo for being a friend.
You're always so amazing! Never change! ❤
I grew up watching this film and I love it thanks for uploading this mary cherry
this version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame was better than the book version, plus the songs are what made this song even more enjoyable
Better than the book version??? Are you kidding me?
@@VerisimilitudeFilms1 the book was depressing and worst of all Quasimoto was publicly humiliated after he killed Frollo at the end
The way I look at it is that they are two stories both equally as good as the other and neither is better than the other.
The book is much darker however and the play version sticks much closer to the book. Overall this movie is one of my favourites because they had the guts to take a Hugo book and turn it into an animated musical. Victor Hugo’s works are amazing but definitely not for the faint of heart. It’s funny in a way that two of his books became musicals Les misérables and Notre Dame de Paris
@nager1997 AND movie versions of both, starring Charles Laughton in both, and both made during the 30's!
It’s crazy how as a kid we don’t sometimes see the deeper meanings and disgusting acts made it’s insane how our minds work
And this is the Disney version. The actual book was terrifying to read in 10th grade.
Oh it was worse?!?
@@MaryCherryOfficial Yes. Very.
@@MaryCherryOfficial If you don't know, you REALLY don't know...
@@MaryCherryOfficiallet's put it like that. Most disney classics are dark kids stories made joyful. Notre Dame is a full on adult story as well as a social commentary with the main theme being the link between the city of paris and the cathedral. Many of the dark themes of the book were erased by the movie to try to make it kid friendly, so what you see is maybe 10% of the dark themes of the book
@@MaryCherryOfficial Much Much worse.
The Court of Miracles was a real nickname, alluding to the "injuries" the beggars of Paris used professionally to get charity in public and could dispense with in private. Miraculous! 😁
(You see an example of them in this film tossing aside their crutches and eyepatches.)
I think this is the first time I've heard anyone say 'A Guy Like You' is their favorite song in the movie hahaha
Here's the sad thing about Quasimodo which how the original movie ended before Disney Jehan(Frolo) now tries to attack Esmeralda in the tower. In rescuing her, Quasimodo is fatally stabbed before throwing Jehan(Frolo) from the tower. The novel ends many years later, when two skeletons-that of a hunchback and that of a woman-are found embracing in Esmeralda's tomb.
You're referring to the ending of the 1923 Lon Chaney silent movie.
In the book, Quasimodo is looking all over the Cathedral for Esmerlada but is shocked to see her dead body being carried away in the courtyard. Quasimodo notices Claude Frollo watching all of the from the ledge smiling. Quasimodo throws Frollo over the edge. Quasimodo finds Esmeralda's body in the Vault, lays to her. Years later, workers find two skeletons holding each other.
Another amazing reaction Mary ❤❤😁😁.
Disney really took a risk trying to adapt the book into a cartoon for kids.
Thats why they added the gargoyles... they are probably my least favorite part. But yeah Frolo is definitely one of the more complex villains in any Disney cartoon movie
Given the source material, it’s amazing that Disney was able to make this as light hearted as it is. The original movie is dark.
A lot of previous adaptations did the main work. They just did what others did before.
This movie's music is in my top 5 Favorite Disney Soundtracks. So haunting and gorgeous!
23:02 Those are The Catacombs of Paris. At some point of history there were no more place in the cemeteries, so they built tunnels to relocate the bones :3
You should check out Jonathan Young he did a cover of Bells of Norte Dame as well as hellfire! And they are straight bangers!
6:03 Frolo wasn’t lying, he genuinely hates how chaotic the festival is.
My favorite Disney movie. Thanks for watching. Im always excited for someone to react to this movie.
Movie suggestion the prince of egypt
Gargoyles are protectors of sacred places & Frollo was so freaking evil that he had no chance at redemption, so the Gargoyle made sure that Pri€k went straight down to the devils doormat 😂😂😂😂😂 that scene makes me so freaking happy, to see bad people get their just desserts 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This has always been one of my favorite. There's a fun Easter egg of Belle even during the song "Out There"
Frollo didn't call the Gypsies devils during his song, he was blaming God himself for "Making the devil so much stronger than a man" meaning he is blaming God for making him succumb to temptation and sin even though he had all the opportunities to reverse his ways but persisted
I've been waiting for this moment
Hellfire greatest Disney song
This is still one of my favorites, I was at the premiere as a kid in New Orleans. Massive screens in the stadium when it was shown.
LoL. Considering the source material, it's no wonder this is one of Disney's darkest animated films.
But Disney still makes it far more lighthearted than the original story.
Now THAT is traumatizing.
😆
A dark but also hopeful Disney movie!
People - on average - died earlier in older times due to disease, accidents etc, but the - maximum lifespan - wasn't actually different, so we do see some very very old people in the historical record - they were just more rare than in modern times. One famous example I recall is Enrico Dandolo, ruler of Venice in the Middle Ages, who became 97-98 years old. Adad-guppi, the mother of the Babylonian king Nabonidus, became 104 years old according to inscriptions.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Disney movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is a fantasic Disney film. Have you watched Pocahontas (1995)?
For glory, God, and gold and the Virginia company!
Grew up watching it and love it and esmeralda was first dinsey crush love her beautiful eyes and i love the Bells and Hellfire also im an atheist but was sad when 5 years ago Notre Dame burned once again and lost a lot of history and relics to the fire and am glad its now repaired and hope to go see it someday
Esmeralda is such a real one. She held on to Quasi at the end for as long as she could, even as frollo was about to kill her with the sword.
the book is heartbreaking 😭
Hi Mary hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Out of all his compositions for Disney, Alan Menken says this is his favorite.
Yes, the movie taught me that "we're only friends"
Lol. Quasi is every guy stuck in the friend zone
@@imthewolf1But in the sequel Quasimodo does find love and unpopular opinion: but I actually liked the sequel aside from the downgraded animation
@@oncerand_directioner I never did see the sequel
As Captain Malcom Reynolds said in Firefly: "Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God."
This is the worst/best Disney animated villain, and he has the best villain song in Disney villain song history, in my opinion. "Hellfire" and the villain songs are always the best ones.
I concur, but Be Prepared has to be a close 2nd.
@aaronburdon221 I concur with your assessment as well.
I love music\songs in this movie, epic!
If you really like this film, I encourage you to give "The Secret of NIMH" a chance. Atypical but strong female protagonist, dark but compelling subject matter, and gorgeous animation. In terms of animated films, it's my favorite alongside this one.
Best Disney Pixar film of all of time
I read Victor Hugo's novel when I was in Highschool as part of my Advanced Literature class. The ending was so tragic 😢. In the late 90s I took my nephew to see the Disney version hoping that in true Disney fashion it would have a happy ending. Afterwards we talked about not judging people by their appearance. I'm delighted to see Mary covering the same ground I covered with my nephew.😊❤
I am kind of obsessed with this movie right now. Mostly because I love watching reactions on CZcams and a few people have put some out recently-this one is definitely underrated because it’s not a children’s movie.
It’s more like an animated adult film honestly but I’m kind of glad it was animated for kids and marketed towards kids with happy meals and dolls and stuff like that-I definitely think it’s more appreciated by children that were young back then and our adults now I am willing to credit CZcams a lot for that, I wonder how many people would actually watch this movie again if it weren’t for things like this? I guess there was Covid which forced us all to do a lot of things. We never thought we do again or anytime soon.😅
In the original book by Victor Hugo, Quasimodo wasn't nearly as nice. In fact he's violent and anti-social, as well as being given to mean spirited mischief. The only person he believes loves him is his master and adoptive father Archdeacon Frollo. (In the book Frollo isn't a judge, him and the Archdeacon character one and the same. Though he is no less feared by the citizens of Paris. Due to the fact that Frollo is a scholar who practices Alchemy. Which the common folk mistake from Witchcraft). Quasimodo's name doesn't mean half-formed, he's named after Quasimodo Sunday (the first Sunday after Easter) which is the day he was found abandoned on the steps of Notre Dame by Frollo. Anyways, the story goes quite differently. Esmerelda is much more of a naive damsel in distress. Frollo still lusts after her and near the beginning of the book, tries to kidnap her, with the help of Quasimodo. They are stopped by Phoebus, the Captain of the King's Archers (who is much more of a dick than in the Disney movie). Frollo manages to escape without his involvement becoming known. While Quasimodo is captured and sentenced to the stocks. Esmerelda takes pity on the hunchback and gives him water. This being the first time anyone's shown him true kindness. He tries to help Esmerelda and even manages to arrange a rendezvous between her and Phoebus. (Which is basically just Phoebus trying to get his rocks off, in the book he has a wealthy fiancee and just sees the young Romani girl as a hot piece of ass to have a fling with). It's interrupted when Frollo jealous of Phoebus stabs him in the back with a dagger, which Esmerelda gets blamed for. The whole thing ends up with Esmerelda put on trial for Phoebus' attempted murder. (Phoebus is also no help, wiping his hands entirely of the whole thing). And then eventually murdered by an angry Mob. Quasimodo ends up pushing Frollo off the roof of Notre Dame. Then lies with Esmerelda body until he dies of hunger.
So yeah, not exactly the most likely movie to be made into a Disney movie.
The last public execution in France was done via ghiglioutine on the 17nth of June 1939, whilst the execution as a whole was held on the 10nth of September 1977.
saw this in the theatre as a kid and i remember having to cover my eyes in parts because of how scary it was. That or Pocahontas.
Oh my gosh!! I love the Hunchback of Notre Dame!!
If Quasimodo was real, I’ll give him Kindness and friendship. 😊
HELLFIRE❤❤❤❤ AMAZING, PERFECT, GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!
In Europe, we say gypsies, there is nothing to apologize for. The music in this movie is great! I remember being a little afraid of Frollo when i was a kid😃
The Gargoyles are just in Quasi's imagination, they aren't real
Yeah that wasn't made terribly clear In film. It more than makes sense though poor dude
Oh
Yh I didn't know that first decent film anyway
But Laverne reacts to the pigeons and Hugo shoots rocks at the guards in the final battle and also interacted with the goat.
@@DavidLopez-qi8hb The plot of the movie has no supernatural element into it, rather it 's about 15th Century France's or Europe's societal ills. The Gargoyles are no more as real as the fire in the "Hellfire' scene.
Disney took a risk. Not the executives, of course ... they greenlit what they thought would be another happy-go-lucky musical with Victor Hugo's characters as decoration ... but the directors (Kirk Wise & Gary Trousdale) and the team of writers (led by the great Will Finn) took the job seriously and gave it their all. They knew animation can do incredible things, and they knew what their audience deserved.
Out of all the Hollywood product to get a G rating, this might expose the MPAA at their apex of audacity. In the "Hellfire" number alone, you have an old man singing about how he wants to take sexual possession of a woman who's decades younger than him, and/or burn her alive, because he considers her racially inferior, and considers himself entitled to do it because he's "holy" and "represents God's justice". Frollo's twisted nature outdoes even the Horned King, villain of The Black Cauldron (the first PG film in Disney's canon).
It would be another 20 years before the release of Zootopia, the next of their features willing to challenge viewers on a thematic level the way this one did.
I respect that Gypsy is now a bad term to say but since I was a kid I always thought Gypsy’s were really cool and even the name sounded cool. But I guess how people feel about the term is more important than how I feel about it lol
Prior to the fire the creators of the Assassin's Creed games were able to do a high resolution scan of both the inside & out of Notre Dame for their game. The scan was later used to as "blueprints" to restore it after the fire.
Thank god for assassins creed. :)
The using the term gypsy in context. Let's calm down.
This was the only version of Hunchback I ever saw and it’s still good asf
theres a sequel to this but its not really high budget or very good. but it does give quasi a happy ending
One thing I hope they bring to the live action version, don't @ me, is the fact that Frollo took Quasimodo in when no one else wanted him, (yes thats right, Frollo wasnt making that up) and raised him as his own, even taught him sign language when he went deaf from constant exposure to the ringing bells.
Literally the only reason he becomes as cruel as he is here is because the public turned against him, calling him a sorcerer.
One theory that goes around is during Hellfire, when one of the guards is telling him Esmeralda left Notre Dame, it’s God answering his prayer. He was given a chance. Take this out and get started on the path to redemption, or keep pressing on to damnation. Frollo refused and his story ends with him metaphorically and probably litterally falling to hell.
Fun fact - this movie had to be edited before release or the MMPA would have refused to give it the G rating it got. It was almost Disney's second PG animated film.
Plenty of people reacting to this movie... and I'm glad! Disney at it's best. Sadly they'll never have the galls to do something like this again. One of the best openings in a movie... ever!
And Frollo probably one of, if not the scariest Disney villain. No magic, no ghost, no monster (in the physical sense), just a human being abusing his power 😮
My top favorite Disney film! The music is just insane.
My favorite Disney movie. So good. Highly underrated.
I didn't realize how dark and traumatic this was when I was a kid, but watching it again as an adult it's pretty wild how they were allowed to do it lol
And yet it's still nothing compared to the original book
I love this movie. One of my favorites disney movies
I usually Watched Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 1 and 2 in 🇺🇲English and Spanish 🇲🇽
Frollo: And he shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit.
God: Great idea Frollo.
Fun fact! Frollo’s supervising animator was Kathy Zielinski! One of a few women who worked at Disney animation studios who took the mantle as leading animators of characters as well as Ellen Woodbury, who supervised the animation on Zazu in The Lion King and Pegasus in Hercules! And Rhetta Scott who animated the hunting dogs in Bambi!
Hunchback has the best soundtrack, it’s very Broadway. Your shoutout to Shania had me cracking up. Your reaction videos are amazing and thank you for the hours of entertainment.
Thank you so much!!
I’m here since Kingdom Hearts featured this movie in one of the spinoffs released on the Nintendo 3DS
Edit: the book was written by Les Miserables author Victor Hugo, which was also made into a musical btw. Hugh Jackman was the main character of Les Miserables
Dream Drop Distance!
