Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5 Amazing Film, Shame about the DVD release, 2009-08-16
The film is by all means breathtaking. I liked it when I was younger. In my later years this has become my favourite Disney film. Although not true to Victor Hugo's book, the animation is superb and Alan Menken's score is incredible. Even though I am 21 and some would argue too old to be watching disney films, the Movie alone deserves five stars. It is one of disney's darkest films but probably all the more enjoyable for adults because of it. I don't imagine it being a favourite of younger children as some of it is genuingly quite scary. It was a book never meant to be made into a children's film and maybe it doesn't always translate well.

There is no way disney could have made it faithful to the book without getting an 18 rating. If you can forget this and take the film as a stand-alone piece, it is fantastic.

I had to rate it four stars mostly because of the lack of bonus features. Being only one disc it lacks where several other films make up. The making of feature is not half as long nor as informative as I would have hoped. It does do a piece on the missing song someday which was a lovely addition.

Disney do know how to release their movies with love and care and to me this release seemed rushed and half finished. It was originally planned in 2002 as a two-disc release but disney backed out soon after with this single disc version. No doubt to leave material for a later two disc release. According to sources a Platinum addition is expected 2013, giving the film all the attention it deserves. But if you can't wait four years this one will tide you over.

If you are just interested in the film then buy it because it is undoubtedly one of Disney's masterpieces.

I remember watching this film when I was about 6 years old or so and I loved it...though admittedly at that age I just loved the talking gargoyles and the 'King of fools' song xD
Now that i'm older (15) I decided to go on a 'classic disney film watching spree' and started watching all the classic disney films I owned, and this is definitely one of my favourites.

I won't waste time going over the plot, but I have to say this is definitely a film that gets better the second time you watch it, and this is why I love it so much; it's great for all ages, as it's still a highly entertaining film for kids, as the slightly darker themes will go straight over their heads xD ( I didn't understand the movie until I watched it for a second time ) and I think it's even better for older watchers, as the messages and themes are quite adult in places.

This film is very underrated and deserves much more recognition then it has, the soundtrack is incredible, for me my favourites would have to be: 'Bells of Notre Dame' and 'Hellfire', 'Hellfire' being one of the most sinister moments of the film showing Frollo's tortured soul. All the characters are very well developed and I can't really compare to the book as I haven't read it, but this is a Disney film not to be missed, and I would recommend it to all, though the messages and film in general may be wasted on younger children, and this may be why it is not as successful as other Disney films. I believe that Disney films shouldn't just appeal to kids though ;)

Over all this is one of my favourite Disney films of all time, with great voice acting that brings the characters to life, great artistic feel, meaningful storyline, and brilliant soundtrack =)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my all time favourite films. Ilove everythinhg about it, the charesters, the plot and the music. The way the movie starts really sets the film up for the rest of it. The film teches children a lot like never judge a person on their looks as Quasimodo looked like a monster and he was being judged by the towns people by the way he looks, but inside he was the most kind and caring person. The film also deals with stero typing which in this film was gypsy mostly Esmerelda as they were seen as not nice people but insted as with Esmerelda this was proved not the case. The music fits in well weith the scences and sung beautifuly by the charesters.
