Quasimodo, where are you?
The Story
As mentioned in an earlier article here that I wrote, the original story was dark and to make it family-friendly. Disney decided to tone down the story, especially about both Frollo's and Quasimodo's origins.
Laverne, Victor and Hugo provide comic relief throughout the movie and their names are a tribute (or shall I say, pun?) to the original author, Victor Hugo.
The Songs & Musical Scores
Alan Menken once a dit this musical score is best, and I have to agree with him. I was very blessed that my brother got the soundtrack and I imported it into my iPod Touch.
I was disappointed that Someday was only sung at the Ending Credits and was not feature in the final film itself, because it was the moment that all of the main protagonists hope for.
The Characters
Frollo has been an overrated Disney villain and I only like him during the first half and his death, I just don't know why though!
The 3 characters of Quasimodo, Frollo and Esmeralda are my favourites. I always feel sorry for the former due to this deformity.
Out There!
So, there toi have it, my short review on the Hunchback of Notre Dame. For those who haven't read the book like me, go ahead and read it!
Someday!
