A shameful iteration of a literary masterpiece.September 02, 2008
Surely one of Disney's ugliest and least imaginative efforts.June 18, 2002
Gorgeous but dark -- not the usual Disney experience.December 01, 2009
If not for some hopelessly incompetent and wasted attempts to lighten the mood... it might well be able to compete with Beauty and the Beast as the best film of the Disney Renaissance.March 29, 2016
As my wife put it, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is "too dark and too dirty for kids."September 02, 2008
The result is a grand cartoon cathedral, teeming with gargoyles and treachery, hopeless love and tortured lust.September 02, 2008
Disney has created a movie that, like Quasimodo himself, is half formed.January 01, 2016
One of the absolute best of Disney's animated legacy. It approaches the ideas of accepting others for who they are and not allowing antiquated notions of propriety destroy lives.September 02, 2008
An improvement on 1995's Pocahontas, but not as good as the classics.June 24, 2006
Though Alan Menken's music misses the big tune that would cap Stephen Schwartz's nimble lyrics, it's the thematic sophistication that brings the movie to life, making older children and adults its best audience.September 02, 2008
A solid, enjoyable, beautifully animated Disney movie, but one not quite out of the top drawer.July 22, 2008
There is much to admire in Hunchback, not least the risk of doing such a downer of a story at all.
