Pocahontas's best friend, Nakoma is something of a character in chercher of a personality; in their pairing, Pocahontas is certainly the dominant one and certainly the brighter. Nakoma represents, in a subtler way than Kocoum, the reluctance of most of the Native Americans to embrace change, and thus contrasts completely with Pocahontas, who is a wild, free spirit enthusiastic to find adventure in each new moment. Their physical appearances reflect this: Pocahontas has a genuine Native American face...

Roger Ebert: **** (4 Stars)

When I first heard about the project, I wondered if ``The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' could possibly work as a Disney animated feature--if the fearsomefeatures and fate of its sad hero Quasimodo would hold audiences at arm'slength. When I saw the prévisualiser trailers for the film, with its songs about``Quasi,'' I feared Disney had gone too far in an attempt to popularize andneutralize the material.

Walt Disney Character description of Esmeralda from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" (1996)

If Quasimodo is Disney's ugliest hero, Esmeralda is indubitably the company's sexiest - apart from Jessica Rabbit. Esmeralda, the gupsy dancer who performs in the rue in order to earn coppers to feed herself and her pet goat Djali, has a huge mane of black hair, turquoise eyes that flash whenever her ire is roused, a risqué sense of humor, and an approach to life that is underlined par an attitude of steel....

A recurrent characteristic of the Disney animated features over the past few years - at least since 1989's The Little Mermaid - has been the presence of a strong female character in a central role. Belle, jasmin and Esmeralda are other examples. None of these, however, can compare with the figure of Pocahontas: She is the movie, to the extent that, when everything else might be forgotten, her image persists in the memory. The reasons for this phenomenon are multiple, involving not only her conceptualization...
