Considering that Disney couldn't help but trash Victor Hugo's novel in the process of reforming it for tender young sensibilities, this animated adaptation of his Notre Dame de Paris is pricklier and more disturbing than we had any right to expect.
Weak.
No review available.
The latest and most uncertain of Disney's animated efforts, with its manic mood swings and cloying, none-too-cuddly hero.
Top CriticDisney has created a movie that, like Quasimodo himself, is half formed.
Surely one of Disney's ugliest and least imaginative efforts.
Top CriticLike another famous tale set in Paris, Disney's animated version of Victor Hugo's venerable The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the best of times and, if not really the worst of times, something uncomfortably close to it.
Top CriticThe Hunchback of Notre Dame ultimately misses its target, as it's more likely to find acceptance with an older-than-average Disney crowd.
Adding to the film's split personality is Demi Moore.
Top CriticNo review available.
The Hunchback's message -- that beauty is only skin deep -- goes only so far.
Top CriticSong and dance numbers were probably not what Victor Hugo had in mind.
Pretty to look at; dramatically inert.

A solid, enjoyable, beautifully animated Disney movie, but one not quite out of the top drawer.
An improvement on 1995's Pocahontas, but not as good as the classics.
Hunchback will be instructive to children. But the movie felt a little overly educational to me.

It's hard not to admire what has been accomplished, despite whatever reservations one might have about the plundering of Hugo's classic source material.
