Top CriticThe result is a grand cartoon cathedral, teeming with gargoyles and treachery, hopeless love and tortured lust.
09/02/08
Top CriticSurely one of Disney's ugliest and least imaginative efforts.
09/02/08
Top CriticDisney has created a movie that, like Quasimodo himself, is half formed.
09/02/08
Top CriticThere is much to admire in Hunchback, not least the risk of doing such a downer of a story at all.
07/22/08
Top CriticGorgeous but dark -- not the usual Disney experience.
06/18/02
Top CriticAdding to the film's split personality is Demi Moore.
05/12/01
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.
02/14/01
Top CriticThis is the least-enjoyable animated feature to come from the studio since its 1989 rebirth.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe latest and most uncertain of Disney's animated efforts, with its manic mood swings and cloying, none-too-cuddly hero.
01/01/00
Top CriticBy sticking faithfully to the broader themes of Hugo's story -- those of desolation and desire, of trust and betrayals thereof -- the creators have fashioned the most poignant and deeply moral story to roll off the Disney storyboards in decades.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe Hunchback's message -- that beauty is only skin deep -- goes only so far.
01/01/00
Top CriticA high point in the renaissance of Disney animation.
