The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

With a few tweaks, Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame could be one of the studio's finest. As is, the movie is strong but suffers from out of place, awkward humor throughout. Let’s preface this review by adding that we’re evaluating the animated film and just the film. If you're looking for an accurate adaptation of the book, this isn't it. If that's what you want, you've got no business here.

In 1482 Paris, Judge Claude Frollo (voiced by Tony Jay) is a malicious, unjust, and xenophobic despot. High in the towers of Notre Dame lives his adopted “son”, a deformed hunchback cruelly named Quasimodo (voiced by Tom Hulce). Alone inside the stone walls of the cathedral, he dreams of belonging to the outside world. When a gypsy named Esmeralda (Demi Moore) captures Frollo's heart, the judge’s lust and rage threaten all of Paris.

This film sets itself apart from other Disney classics with its sinister and tragic tone. Quasimodo is deformed and grotesque. Even with a kind heart, he stands no chance with Esmeralda - particularly while she and the Captain of the Guard, Phoebus (Kevin Kline) make eyes at each other. Several tense sequences take dark turns as Frollo expresses his racism towards the Romani (Gypsy) and willingness to do anything in order to pass the blame he should bear onto others. Quasimodo is frequently subjected to cruelty. The downtrodden are frequently stomped on. There’s a tragic undertone as Quasimodo speaks to his only friends, stone statues he "brings to life" with his imagination. The majestic skyline of 15th century Paris, towering cathedral representing both a prison and hope to those seeking sanctuary, it’s powerful stuff.

This film benefits from a truly great villain. You love to hate Frollo. Though he's been changed from archdeacon to a judge, he remains edgy. You might've seen other children's stories proclaiming the importance of not judging others on their appearance but this character makes The Hunchback of Notre Dame stands out and more suitable for older audiences than little kids. The Judge paints himself as a devout Christian but commits horrid crimes. While nothing is ever explicitly said, a vivid scene in which he imagines Esmeralda dancing shows his lust for her. He's irredeemably evil but human.

The city is wonderfully brought to life through Quasimodo's viewpoint. We've got memorable songs with tunes unique among Disney's roster. The voice actors are excellent, the message great, climax breathtaking. What's not to like? The gargoyles. This is not a comedy but it doesn't stop Charles Kimbrough, Jason Alexander, and Mary Wickes' stone buffoons from trying to make you laugh. Crotch shots, fart jokes, a gargoyle wanting to romance a goat, cross-dressing gags all bring the picture to a screeching halt. They give the crappy robot from Treasure Planet a run for its money as “worst and unnecessary comedic sidekick in an animated film”. I wish the film had predated home video so it could've been “lost” and then “found” again years later with some footage “unfortunately missing”.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is not frequently mentioned among Walt Disney's essentials, which is a shame. It contains heart-wrenching drama, powerful imagery, a moving story, and unforgettable moments. Visually, it's a knockout from the backgrounds to the character designs and atmosphere. It’s a movie so good the one flaw it has becomes that much harder to ignore. Don't let that keep you away from viewing (or revisiting) The Hunchback of Notre Dame. You may cringe when it gets "funny" but the rest is worth it. (On Blu-ray, June 5, 2015)

One of the most obvious #Disney #Eastereggs people rarely seem to talk about is in #1996’s #HunchbackOfNotreDame :the #Gargoyles give #Quasimodo a haircut similar to effect of Quasi’s VA #TomHulce’s #1984 movie character #WolfgangAmadeusMozart in #AMADEUS.

Amadeus. Milos Forman. 1984

Thoughts : Amadeus (1984)

My friend Tina and I always shared an affinity for movies.  We’d often share our favorites, spend free time going to the movies and watching DVDs at home, and both of us envisioned ourselves adding to the medium at some point.  One Christmas (I believe it was Christmas, could’ve been my birthday), she gifted me one of her favorite films, and that was my gateway to a deeper appreciation of the Milos Forman epic Amadeus. 

Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) finds himself institutionalized after a major exhibition of self-harm.  Local priest Father Volger (Richard Frank) visits Salieri in hopes of providing an opportunity for confession, but the story unloaded on him shakes his faith to the core.  Salieri comes clean on his contentious relationship with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce), a man already revered as a musical legend as Salieri rots away in complete obscurity.  Salieri talks of his court appointment for Emperor Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones), his constantly questioning God about his lack of skill and the abundance gifted to Mozart, his opinions on Mozart’s behavior, the war with Constanze Mozart (Elizabeth Berridge), and more.  His story is full of deception, mistrust, underhandness and jealousy, but above all, his story is about the envious appreciation of Mozart’s music by a composer equally passionate, but untouched by God’s grace in terms of skill. 

The dynamic between Salieri and Mozart is quite unique, especially considering that these characters are based on real men.  In regards to their dynamic, you’re given a protagonist with tastes too high brow pitted against an antagonist not afraid of embellishment... a protagonist tortured by being bested at every turn versuss an antagonist oblivious of his negative impact...  a protagonist eventually driven to an antagonist role due to a crisis of faith, only to have the antagonist turn musical protagonist due to musical brilliance that continues to grow unbounded.

Milos Forman uses Amadeus as an entertaining ‘assassination’ piece, taking a musical genius and boiling him down to a rock star sensibility, warts and all.  Taking someone larger than life and turning them into the least sophisticated, low brow ‘creature’ one can imagine both humanizes and undercuts Mozart, putting his epic music in new (and slightly uncomfortable) perspective.  Mozart makes angelic music, but 'Wolfie’ (as Constanze often refers to him) is a childish, boorish man with an ‘uncultured’ cackle.  Salieri tries in many ways to use Mozart’s supposed character flaws against him, but Mozart always gets the upper hand due to his talent, thus making him a legend while Salieri was ultimately doomed to be forgotten.

Salieri’s deeply seeded manipulation becomes more and more disturbing over the extended runt time of the film..  The way he plays all sides against one another, ultimately gaining nothing for the amount of focus, stress and time spent, leaves the viewer exhausted and broken.  The cruel stroke of using Mozart’s father’s death to ultimately drive Mozart mad, and eventually send him to the grave, shows Salieri’s sense of mediocrity was such a burden that dragging others into it with him was an exercise without limits.  The ultimate joke is played on Salieri as he is given the chance to aid Mozart in completing the commissioned requiem while Mozart lay on his deathbed... even in Mozart’s weakened state, Salieri is unable to comprehend or keep up with Mozart’s prolific greatness as a composer.  Mozart asking Salieri for forgiveness in his dying moments is only salt in the wound.

Forman succeeds in creating an immaculate period piece.  Elaborate costuming and lush, textured locations immediately put you in the prime state of mind to take in the narrative.  Slightly modified behavior and more colloquial languages is used to make to make the film more relatable to a modern day sensibility.  The way that the creative process of composing the operas is shown is not mind-blowing in terms of concept, but the execution perfectly displays Mozart’s proficiency and knack for complete immersion into his work.

Tom Hulce’s madness (and that infinitely memorable laugh) drive through the film like a sports car in a residential neighborhood, moving forward with complete disregard of his surroundings.  F. Murray Abraham and his deeply dark actions slowly unfold, continually surprising us as we learn more and more about him.  Elizabth Berridge starts as innocent, but her character’s tough lot in life immediately builds a toughness on her that carries her through the film.  Roy Dotrice and his imposing presence serve him well in the role of the elder Mozart.  Jeffrey Jones almost seems as if he’s playing against type, but his curious nature makes his emperorship highly entertaining.  The cast is deep, and most every performance is strong and memorable.

Amadeus brings the goods in a huge way.  The film is quite the rollercoaster of emotion and deception, bringing high drama and pettiness in equal measure.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002)

I went into The Hunchback of Notre Dame II with rock-bottom expectations. You will too once you hear its premise. Perhaps being prepared for the worst threw off my barometer because I found it “surprisingly good”.

Six years after the events of the first film, Quasimodo (Tom Hulce) is preparing to celebrate the “Jour d'Amour”, a festival in which the Parisians profess their love for all to hear. The Hunchback expects to be alone on this day until he meets a kind circus performer named Madellaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt). What the bell ringer doesn’t know is that she's being forced by the circus ringleader Sarousch (Michael McKean) to find Notre Dame's great gem-encrusted bell so he can steal it.

Look forward to hearing all of the original voice actors reprising their roles and some decent songs peppered throughout. None are memorable but they won't have you plugging your ears. While the animation is not on the same level as its theatrically released predecessor, you shouldn't expect it to be. Still, there are some tricky shots of characters spinning or birds flying that are far beyond what you'd associate with a sequel no one was asking for that was released direct-to-DVD. Tarzan 2 was horrifying to watch. I really thought this was going to be more of the same but I was pleasantly surprised.

With all that said, this movie is doomed to only go so far. The film's message is so obvious, so on the nose, it makes your eyes roll. Worse, it's a betrayal of the melancholic but honest tone of the first film - which was already extremely softened compared to the original book. The villain lacks any subtlety whatsoever and the three unfunny, vile gargoyles (voiced by Charles Kimbrough, Jason Alexander and Jane Withers) are as bad as before. What bothered me - no, baffled me most are wholly unrelated to these points. There are revelations that make me wonder if writers Flip Kobler, Cindy Marcus, and Jule Selbo even saw the first movie. Firstly, the gargoyles that Quasimodo talks to… they’re actually real. They're stone creatures who can choose to become animated or suddenly turn to stone. That one makes you wonder, as does the revelation that magic is real. I wondered how Sarousch planned on stealing a giant bell covered with sapphires, emeralds, and rubies the size of dinner plates. The answer is through sorcery. It's another head-scratcher. Six years ago, Frollo accused Esmeralda of witchcraft. When you learn there are actual wizards running around, he seems less irrational all of a sudden.

Deciding on a fair rating for The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is tricky. Is it a movie I’d recommend you go and check out? No. What if you’re a big fan of the original film? No. If you've seen every movie in your collection, your kids love Quasimodo, you have the choice between seeing this sequel or walking outside in a blizzard to get something else… then, sure. As I write these words, however, I second-doubt myself. I might not have had a horrible time, but this story is just awful. It's barely an hour long, which earns it points but what will you take away or treasure from it? Not much. In the end, I've got to give it a negative review. I might've let it slide by with a 2.5/5 but there's a bad post-credit scene and honestly, who am I kidding? Who's going to raise a stink if I say this movie's not worth seeing? No one, that's who.
