Movie Info

This direct-to-video sequel to Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame finds Quasi (voiced once again by Tom Hulce) falling in love with a magician's assistant while attempting to foil that same magician's plan to steal his bells. Previous cast members return (Kevin Kline, Demi Moore, Jason Alexander), while two new characters feature the vocal talents of Haley Joel Osment and Jennifer Love Hewitt. This release faithfully upholds the standards parents have come to expect from Disney.

Weak sequel, with a bit of the original's charms.

...an enjoyable enough little adventure that doesn't require one to have seen the first film.

A chintzy direct-to-video sequel to a fairly lifeless adaptation.

This is just lazy writing. Even kids deserve better.

Devoid of any of the qualities that made the first film so special.

Bolstered by an astonishing voice cast (excepting Love Hewitt), an interesting racial tension, and a storyline that I haven't encountered since at least Pete's Dragon.

Audience Reviews for The Hunchback of Notre Dame II

Oct 11, 2014

Quasimodo and his friends are back in the direct-to-video sequel The Hunchback of Notre Dame II. The main cast returns, and are joined by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Haley Joel Osment. The animation however, is extremely poor and isn't even up to television standards (Disney should be embarrassed). But even worse is the trite, uninspired story about a traveling circus that's attempting to steal a jewel encrusted bell that's in the Notre Dame cathedral. Additionally, the constant hammering of the theme of things being beautiful on the inside is annoying. Incredibly ill-conceived, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is a generic piece of tripe that betrays Victor Hugo's original vision.

Disney shouldn't make these direct-to-video sequels. We've already seen the danger of such actions from the sequel to Cinderella. In this degenerated sequel, Quasimodo found himself another love interest, but the femme fatale has a boss who wants to steal Quasimodo's bells. (Face palm) So a not-so-exciting adventure began... It's a film best to be avoid.

Not as good as the great first film

Yeah, it is by the numbers, but what do you expect from a direct to video sequel of a B-level Disney film? I feel like we've seen this particular story before (maybe in the first film), but nothing here is particularly bad. Some of the animation looks cheap-especially medium and long shots of characters and backgrounds; there is an astonishing lack of detail and muddiness in those shots. At least the movie brought back most of the original voice talent and didn't cheap out in that respect.
