#TheHunchbackOfNotreDame #MovieReaction #AniMat
The “Handsome Quasi” thing was actually done in that ableist monstrosity done by Golden Films,
Oh that movie!!!! It made Hunchback 2 look good in comparison!
All of The HunchBack of Notredame knockoffs made HunchBack of Notredame II look good in comparison
You mean the one that said "He wasn't deformed at all! He was just being talked down to by his 'brother!' "
@@PhoenixAlaris93 Yes, that one!
@@thomashuffman3237 Yeah, that was just stupid. And I've seen the one that said "Hey, turns out Quasimodo was an angel the whole time!"
The intro in the first film: dark and mysterious and sent chills down your spine
The intro in the sequel: forgettable and bland
The songs in the first film: beautiful, dark and sad
The songs in the second film: forgettable and bland
Agreed.
The first movie: Beautiful, dark, sad with masterful animation
This movie: Forgettable and bland with mediocre, only serviceable but nothing more animation
Ignore this movie, and go back to the original. You will have something spectacular to sit through.
@@Starwarsfanboy0928 lets erase this from the canon.
I still get chills during "Bells of Notre Dame". Their answer to it was a freaking Valentine's Day parade.
I feel like this sequel was made for people like my ex. He absolutely hated the first Hunchback, solely because Quasi and Esmeralda didn't get together in the end. I completely agree with Matt on this one. I really liked how in the original movie, Quasi gets his heart broken, but still gets a happy ending. He got exactly what he always needed, acceptance.
I’d break up with anyone who hates Hunchback
@@BlueGuy98 one of many reasons why he's my ex. lol
But it's cool he found someone who loved him back.
He just wanted to be loved, not find love.
@@tavvyprods1275 So it's bad that he got both?
For me, the worst part about this movie's portrayal of Phoebus, apart from being a complete 180 on his established character that makes it look almost like the movie wants HIM to be the villain at times (and not in a way that's accurate to his book version, but more as if it was an attempt to spite him for being the one Esmerelda chose over Quasimodo), is that it's all done in service of a moral that falls flat on its face.
The "Well-intentioned character with unexamined personal prejudices" concept is something that Disney actually got RIGHT with Judy Hopps in 'Zootopia'. Heck, even Disneytoon did this better with Simba in 'The Lion King 2', not only because Simba had an understandable reason for not trusting a bunch of lionesses who were supporters of Scar, but also because the movie also gave him a moment where he attempts to re-examine his preconceptions and consider Kovu possibly worthy of being accepted, with the scene involving his monologue about how "Scar couldn't let go of his hate" (before the ambush scene that does reveal that Kovu had indeed been trained to set him up for Zira to take down).
It’s almost like the typical ‘nice guy’ narrative of today. In the original movie, Phoebus was the rival who “stole” Quasi’s “girl”, and the idea is that he’s actually a horrible person who tricked the woman; if only she’d given the nice guy a chance.
@@fablethewolf825 Except that to suggest that Esmerelda was ever “stolen” from anyone is really quite insidious, because it implies that she’s more important as the object of others’ affections rather than her own person with her own agency. There’s no reason she shouldn’t fall in love with Phoebus, as he has been standing up for her even before he knew who she was, even putting his own life on the line to help her and her people, more for the benefit of her well-being over his own, just as Quasi did; he was never out to “win” her over anyone. The fact that Esmerelda has two men who would fight to the end to save her should mean more for her, not less for Quasi (especially since she still values him in the end and helps him find what he needs). And the fact that Quais is able to recognize and accept that is what makes him more than just a self-proclaimed “nice guy”.
Like with that Phantom of the Opera musical sequel, ‘Love Never Dies’, vilifying one love interest in order to make the other look better, is just lazy writing.
I can tell that with Phoebus they were trying to do an “anti-discrimination” moral, but it fails for these reasons: First of all, circus performers are not a race, like the Romani, so the allusion fails. Secondly, Phoebus was absolutely right. They WERE stealing! And yet, the movie desperately wants to paint him as the one in the wrong.
Personally I think Esmerelda was a bit of a bitch in this movie too. Phoebus does turn out to be correct about the circus and had the proof when he found the necklace under Mickey’s sorcerer’s hat. The thing that irks me is Esmerelda never actually apologized for accusing him of being racist or whatever when he was right about the circus. Imagine if Seruge actually was a gypsy that was taking advantage of the stereotype of Romani being untrustworthy because they “stole” people’s money by using “magic” aka circus tricks, and Phoebus sees while not all Romani people are good, Seruge was one example. But I also don’t like how Esmerelda was portrayed more as a stereotypical Gypsy, especially with the part of her having a crystal ball to tell Quasimodo’s future. I think Es was actually in the movie the least amount, which is really sad considering Disney made her a mom. Imagine if the story was more focused on Zephyr’s struggles as a half breed. But yeah, Phoebus’s portrayal in this movie was very similar to John Smith in Pocahontas 2, where he was turned into this huge narcissistic jerk who didn’t give a crap about Pocahontas’s people or their safety. He only saw Pocahontas as a trophy wife and was too focused on what he wanted in life, which was exploring. He even makes fun of her and tries to talk her out of seeing the king again, saying she’s nuts and he doesn’t believe in her abilities as a woman (despite he saw her end a war by herself)
But yeah, I don’t like how the scenes it showed Phoebus and Esmerelda being lovey dovey, it almost made fun of the fact Quasi didn’t win Esmerelda’s love in the end. There’s literally a scene where they make out in front of him and Zephyr and Quasi agree how gross kissing is, almost trying to spite Esmerelda choosing Phoebus over Quasi. While I’m not a fan of why it ended that way, I think Madeline was a better fit for Quasi, I wished they explained it a lot better as to why Quasi falls in love instead of “let’s make the sequel be about Quasi getting a girlfriend because he lost in the first movie!” Like if Quasi was no longer living in Notre Dame and maybe opened his own carpentry shop and his specialty was making toys and small wooden figurines. He makes it clear he’s happy as a bachelor and loves the new life he has. And he meets Madeline as a customer or tourist or something and she isn’t afraid of his looks?
Honestly I don’t even get why Quasi is still permanently stuck in Notre Dame. Yeah he knows how to take care of the bells and stuff, but why is he not allowed to move on to be more interactive with the townsfolk instead of being stuck with his annoying friends? Even in the short Once Upon a Studio, I honestly don’t understand why Disney felt the need to include the gargoyles at the end with Quasi.

Producers’ mindset when making this sequel: “Oh no! Quasimodo doesn’t have a girlfriend? Let’s fix that up in the sequel.”
Producers’ mindset 14 years later when making Ice Age: Collision Course: “Oh no! Sid doesn’t have a girlfriend? Let’s fix that up in the sequel.”
Ah, it's not Ice Age: Continental Drift, it's Ice Age: Collision Course that gives Sid a girlfriend. Ice Age: Continental Drift is the one where Diego gets a girlfriend.

"Handsome Quasi doesn't exist, he can't hurt you."
Handsome Quasi:
It reminds me of the evil kermit meme
5:24
I love how the dynamic between Madellaine and the circus master is trying so hard to mirror the toxic dynamic between Quasimodo and Frollo from the first movie. It tries to make a contrast between the circus master and Quasi and yet it fails miserably by coming off more cringe than anything else.
What I think about The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2:
-Handsome Quasimodo looks more like a hobbit.
-Esmeralda's eyes turned blue for some reason.
-The Notre Dame cathedral looks like it came from a Saturday morning cartoon.
-I felt bad for the voice cast.
-The Madeleine figurine Quasimodo made looks more like Tinker Bell.
And Sarouch is a pathetic Gaston ripoff.
@@josephrowe849 The tone is way too lighthearted and kid-friendly.
The music and songs are mediocre, compared to what Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz did in the first movie.
Quasimodo's new outfit is the outfit Frollo was too embarrassed to wear in public.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my favorite movies! I love the story, the characters and the songs! How could Disney do this to their underrated project?!
Yeah, not to mention that the dark tone from the originally is completely gone.
Disneytoon studios did this not Disney
I know. Which is why we pretend the Disney sequels don’t exist. Well with the exception of Aladdin and the King of Thieves and the Lion King II Simba’s Pride, in my opinion.

What really strikes me about the sequel (apart from the obvious) is how SMALL everything seems to be. Notre Dame feels like a tiny church, Paris like a village, the fest seems to have only a handful of participants. And I know that this is partly because they didn't have the money for mass scenes, but it is also the way everything is scaled. There is no understanding for the right angles.
Did the original creators make this, If so I'm going to imagine low pay and bad work environment.
The thing is, the original movie _did_ do ‘normal Quasi for a second. It’s in a deleted song called A Place of Miracles’, which was supposed to be before Frollo raided the Court of Miracles. Quasi, his crush and Esmerelda still a thing, is depressed. Clopin sees this and offers the guy a drink. Quasi catches his reflection in the cup and and shocked; the cup has distorted his face to look normal. And you know what? It didn’t look so bad at all. If anyone wants to see, it’s available to see on this site.
Not only this movie rips off valentine day but new The Gargoyles' Song sounds more like a cheerful Christmas Carol of love then a regular love song!
To quote Hewy Toonmore on the subject of the gargoyles’ song, “That sounds more like the title of a bad Christmas song let alone something from Disney!”
Nah, sounds like Kiss The Girl from The Little Mermaid.
Fun fact: James Baxter was one of the animators who worked on The Hunchback of Notre Dame and he did outstandingly excellent job.
This came out in 2002 but the animation looks like from a rushed episode of mid 90s cartoon show.
I believe this sequel is one of the last to use traditional painted cels
Sarouch totally sucks! He's no Frollo that's for sure. He's more of a Gaston ripoff (Lives in France, self-centered, hates the idea of thinking and has a "bell" obsession. The only difference is that he is not "positively" primeval.) Frollo's plan was a lot more evil in nature while Sarouch's plan is more like something Team Rocket from Pokemon would do.
A lot of Disney sequel villains are basically just dumbed down versions of past villains. Sarouch is a dumbed down Gaston, Marina from Ariel's Beginning is a dumbed down Yzma, Zira is a dumbed down Ursula etc.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Zira is a very malicious villain though.
Thank God we didn't have a "Home on the Range 2"; I can't imagine the massive backlash Disney would've received if this was ever done...
yeah, as if the first movie isn't already infamous enough
Agreed. Also, thank goodness we don’t have a Chicken Little 2 as well.
I don't think they would have made a sequel to Home on the Range since the first movie was a box office flop and, to this day, many Disney fans consider it as one of the studios' worst movies.
don't be too thankful, because if we was to get another movie it would most likely be a Live Action 💀
What would've been better for the bell with the jewels in it is if it were a broken bell that no longer worked and once looking at it from the inside, it had very beautiful engravings
That would make much better sense if it was a broken bell that no longer worked. Why even put jewels in a working bell?
Only reason for it would be to hide the jewels I guess. But it’s not like that should be a permanent place for them.
The whole "protagonist gets a love interest" sequel plot is just because Disney doesn't want characters to die alone... They gotta have SOMEBODY TO LOVE or they will be sad. Gotta follow the normal status quo for coupling in late 90s/early 2000s Disney fare - every lead character has gotta be with someone eventually or they won't be truly happy! ...ick, no.
The writers for this sequel clearly were people who hated that Quasimodo, a guy that looked "ugly" but had a good heart for helping others despite it all, didn't get Esmeralda, an outcast that was judged by who she was but was lusted after by THREE CHARACTERS in the original film (Phoebus, Frollo, and Quasi) for different reasons, and they thought "hey, let's give Quasi the happiness he deserves! Let's send him a girlfriend so he won't be alone anymore!" Yeah... he got his happy ending in the first film - he accepted Esmeralda choosing Phoebus over him (he wasn't malicious about it either) & even learned to be with people on the outside of the cathedral, gaining the acceptance that he always yearned for. That... that is a happy ending that is still satisfying to this day, and many people right now want this as well.
But nope. Gotta follow the standard sequel formula & make a pretty love interest for the hunchback man, have them eventually hit it off before something goes wrong to make them break up... and then by the climax, ALL IS FORGIVEN & love takes hold.
Despite him being an annoyance, I agree with Zephyr (who, by the way, is Esmeralda & Phoebus' kid... what, has it been 6 years or so since the end of the first film? Dang, they had him QUICK.) on this plot: "yuck".
I'm glad they stopped this sort of forces plotline in a lot of Disney movies. The "Frozen" series has kept Elsa single & she's fine on her own (although her sister did have a more believable plot that used romance, but she had her reasons... and almost perished for making the wrong choice; at least Anna did eventually get her true love story, so that's good, but it did take time for marriage... and same for "Tangled" with their princess love story), so things have definitely changed... but only recently... somewhat.
At least newer romance plots in Disney properties are still better made than this one. This film is bad... but overall, not the worst of the DTV sequels; I actually think... it could've been a lot better. I DO think, however, it's the worst "forced romance" plot in the sequels... and that's not including "Brother Bear 2".
I want the cursed Handsome Quasimodo face haunting the thumbnail for the review now.
If we had Cross-Eyed Belle in the thumbnail for AniMat’s Classic Review of Belle’s Magical World, we definitely need Handsome Quasimodo on the thumbnail for the review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II.
I think that whoever created this sequel created the sequel to begin with because they were upset that Quasimodo and Esmeralda didn't end up together and they just wanted Quasi to have a girlfriend. Literally, this movie exists just so Quasi could have a girlfriend. I mean, that's the plot of the movie, right? Quasi gets a girlfriend? Seriously, I think that's the whole movie cuz I don't remember what else happens in it. XD
Same reason 20th Century Fox made Blue Sky Studios make Ice Age: Collision Course just so they could give Sid a girlfriend!
Why does "Quasi gets a girlfriend" sound like it's an Always Sunny episode title
I already finish the movie 3 minute ago, and my brain said the same as your coment sir..
Here's a fun tidbit: the composer of this film was Carl Johnson, who had previously done Animaniacs, Batman: The Animated Series, Gargoyles, Freakazoid, Pinky and the Brain, Aladdin & The King of Thieves, and later did Piglet's Big Movie & the New Looney Tunes Cartoons. Also, the songwriters were Randy Petersen, Kevin Quinn, and Walter Edgar Kennon.
The only talent working on this crappy direct-to-video Disney sequel.
Don’t flame me on this but I like this movie because I connect to it on a personal level, being disabled and heartbroken many times over, this movie always gave me the hope to try and find a date all over again
9:52 Ikr?! Even Christine from "Phantom of the Opera" didn't run away in abject horror when she did the same thing to Eric.
32:30 Because it's a direct-to-video Disney movie for kids and everybody has to have a love interest.

Honestly, I can forgive some of the bad Disney sequels like The Little Mermaid 2 and The Jungle Book 2 because at least they felt like the writers were putting some effort into character development and story even if it didn't stick the landing. But Hunchback 2 doesn't feel like there's any passion behind it at all. It feels like a fanfic written by someone who was angry that Quasimodo remained single at the end of the first movie and didn't understand the point of the first movie. The reason Quasi ends up single is because it shows how different he was from Frollo. Frollo was so obsessed with Esmeralda that he'd rather kill her than being rejected by her. Whereas Quasimodo, while heartbroken when Esmeralda rejected him, still valued his friendship with her and respects her choices.
On top of that, women should not be treated as a reward for the protagonist. It's insulting and degrading to women. Besides, wasn't it enough that Quasi is now accepted as a member of society and can now walk on the streets without people being horrified at his deformity?
On a side note, I really hated how this movie confirmed that the gargoyles are actually alive when the first movie heavily implied that they were Quasi's imaginary friends (even their involvement in the final battle could easily be interpreted as Quasi's wishful thinking).
I loved Little Mermaid 2 and Jungle Book 2 as a little kid. Sure, I know now that neither is very good, but there is a nostalgia factor there. I watched Hunchback 2 once when I was seven or eight and even then I knew it was complete garbage.
Jungle Book 2 wasn't THAT bad. I liked that Shanti was a main character with more screentime and plot relevance and that she and Mowgli are close friends instead of Shanti just being his satellite love interest. Tho my opinion on Ranjan changed a bit. As a kid I thought he was cute and endearing, but now I realize that he was pretty annoying cuz he fricking screams most of his lines. Seriously, Ranjan yells half of his lines at the top of his lungs for no apparent reason, and most of his lines are just him screaming *MOWGLI!* XD He's still cute tho, just a chore to listen to. Eh, again, Jungle Book 2 wasn't THAT bad. Tho even as a kid I noticed something super wrong: *HIPPOS DON'T LIVE IN INDIA!*
@@cintronproductions9430 I agree that Shanti is a good character and I really appreciate how her relationship with Mowgli allows them both to learn from each other which only strengthens their romance. I also liked how Mowgli is more mature than he was in the first film, most likely because he's socializing with his own kind now. But I really don't like how Baloo basically forgets everything he learned in the first film about responsibility and decides to take Mowgli back simply because he misses him. If they really wanted Mowgli back in the jungle, they should have had Shere Khan take his wolf family hostage and threaten to kill them unless Mowgli agrees to face him and Baloo only goes to the village to deliver the message. Then they could have Shanti follow him out of a misunderstanding like what we got and together they combine their skills to defeat Shere Khan.
But let's be honest here, after Mowgli leaves the village, the movie basically becomes a rushed rehash of the original.
So he's not allowed to find love ever?
@@buster3041 I didn't say that. I said that women should never be treated as a reward. Also, this movie basically implies that you can't live happily without a romantic relationship and that him being accepted as a human being is somehow not enough. And Quasi being single was actually rather refreshing considering he's the only Disney protagonist of the Disney Renaissance that ends up being single (and one of the few in the entire Disney canon, along with Pinocchio, Dumbo, Peter Pan, Alice, Jim Hawkins, Lilo, Moana and Raya). Romantic love is good, but there's so much more to life than just that. The first Hunchback movie captured that message so well, but the sequel undermines it.
If the direct to video Disney sequels go into the full on sequel route, they're usually one of 2 things. A character gets a love interest or the kids of the protagonists from the last movie relive thier events.
Hunchback of Notre Dame 2...one of the first fanfics to be made into a movie 🤣
AniMat: "Okay, I need to dress up as Judge Caluida Frollo to watch this Disney Sequel"!
I don’t think Hunchback 2 is the absolute worst, like he said there’s Belle’s magical world, I think JelloApocalypse sums it up best when he said it has the least idea of what made the original good
JelloApocalypse nailed the fact that the lack of Frollo was not the problem, since they couldn't have him back. Although ghost Frollo would be awesome.
I'd rather remember Jennifer Love Hewitt for "Ghost Whisperer" than "Garfield".
I'd say "which feels like it missed the point of Disney's Hunchback more: this sequel giving Quasimodo a girlfriend, or Descendants giving Frollo a daughter", but I think I know the answer to that.
I didn't even know about Descendants giving Frollo a daughter and now i am both confused and absolutely livid..
After looking at the end credits and looking up Bradley Raymond’s name, this is the same guy who would later directed The Lion King 1½ (two years later and it was a much better movie than this.)
Having a physically disabled husband. This movie I personally hate because even her falling for Quasimodo just seems so insulting. Which is sad because she's voiced by Jennifer Lovehewitt and she's nice.
But I have my husband because he gets my mental disability that others can't see and it helps me want to be better for him. I fell for him because even with how his disability effects him his great attributes are his humor and personality.
For heck sake I'm writing a better love story based on my husband.
this movie is the embodiment of tonal whiplash
Anyone else agree that Hunchback is not just the worst Disney sequel, but also the most insulting Disney sequel, especially with how good the original is?
👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
it's Disney sequels like this that make me happy Hercules never got one
Update on the fix fic: Since UA-cam hates links even within its own site, I'll just direct you: Rewriting Hunchback of Notre Dame II, on Ao3 and FFN. Here is a spoiler-free list of some of the things I fixed:
-That. Stupid. Bell. It does not have jewels. It exists to be a Redwall shout out. And yes, that is a tremendous improvement.
-There is no "festival of love." The setting event is the pope coming to Paris in a few days to bless the new bell that was cast just for him.
-Zephyr has dark hair and darker skin than Phoebus.
-Zephyr has a personality that consists of a lot more than, "My best friend is Quasimodo."
-Madellaine does not exist to be a love interest for Quasi, she exists to demonstrate that slavery is not always maintained by literal chains. But she and Quasi still do have mutual feelings, just to keep the shippers happy.
-Phoebus does not suffer from situationally acquired racism.
-Sarousch is actually a legitimate threat. He's not in town to steal an unrealistic bell, he's there to get revenge.
-I explain Sarousch's ethnic ambiguity and narcissism.
-The gargoyles aren't animate.
-Clopin has way more of a role in my version than he even did in the book.
-Esmeralda honestly doesn't have much more to do in my version than she did in the sequel film, but she is still the catalyst for the events of the story.
-I use proper terminology for the Roma, at least as much as I can. I still use the word "Gypsy" in a historical context.
-Before the villain's introduction, the conflict/motive of the story is trying to maintain peace between the Roma and non-Roma in order to prevent the king from deporting them to countries where slavery is legal. Don't worry, they get diplomatic immunity in the end, thanks to Clopin.
I could hardly see the difference between "handsome" Quasimodo and normal Quasimodo.
This is a major disgrace to the original film.
Yep
Agreed.
Here's yet another issue. I don't know if he discussed this in the extended video because I haven't watched it yet, but someone else pointed out how the subplot with Phoebus fails miserably. It was supposed to be "He's assuming the carnival people are bad just from appearances," but the thing is the carnival people really were bad (with the possible exception of Madallaine). It's shown throughout the movie that they're up to no good, so the "You're being judgmental!" thing doesn't work. A character confronting their prejudices and learning to stop judging people can be a good plot, but not when it turns out they were completely right in not trusting the people in question. It reminds me of the movies in which witches/mutants/any sort of beings with unusual powers and/or appearances are depicted as falsely accused of being dangerous, destructive, and malicious, but then are depicted as being dangerous, destructive, and malicious while the movie still expects you to think, "Oh, they're so misunderstood!" (I'm not referring to movies with the "I was treated like a monster so I became one!" trope; I mean the movies that do a 180-degree turn and don't expect audiences to think about it)
Disney served Jennifer Love Hewitt better with her cameo on "The Weekenders".
The Atlantis sequel and Belle's Magical World are forgivable BECAUSE they're meant to be pilots to a series. But THIS abomination is drawn and written like it's meant to MOCK feature length pilots. It is nothing more than someone's extremely poorly written "fix fic," and it shows. Oh, it shows.
So I'm hammering out a fix fic for the fix fic. Starting with Zephyr.
I never watched this movie growing up, but I never had the motivation to do so anyway, and I guess it's for the best that I just stick with the original "Hunchback of Notre Dame" from the Renaissance Era. As for the review, I'm sure it's gonna be pretty turbulent to say the least. On a side note, that's a nice Cuphead shirt.
Good thing I never bothered with this trash, this could be the most pointless and unnecessary of all the Disney direct to video movies
I'd say it's a toss-up between this and The Fox and The Hound II. That one was a "midquel" which depicted young Copper (I think that was his name) wanting to join a traveling dog band. Someone pointed out you know the ending of the first movie wasn't going to change, so the events of this movie weren't going to have any effect or impact.
@@karaoconnoraliasraidra Good point. The Fox and The Hound 2 was also EXTREMELY pointless
I saw The Mysterious Mr. Enter's review of it and he didn't like it either. Can't imagine why.
Now you know why Hewy Toonmore added the gargoyles’ song as number 1 in his top 10 worst disney songs.
Can’t disagree with his choice.
I kinda forgot that The Hunchback Norte Dame had a sequel…

It’s okay AniMat, Mr. Enter shares your complaints about that one bell in his animated atrocities of this film

I thought Mulan 2 was worst of all Disney direct sequels
“And next time, don’t leave your post!”
J. Jameson laughing hysterical.
I agree.
Fun facts Cinderella two were both to be a TV series but they were cancelled
This movie is a disgrace to the first film.
You should do a Let’s Watch on the Dingo Pictures and Golden Films adaptations of the Hunchback of Notre Dame sometime because they’re so interestingly bad!
“Mom, can we have Beauty and the Beast?”
“We have Beauty and the Beast at home.”
Beauty and the Beast at home:
Dude yes the Paris catacombs are really that large Heck that tourist section you mentioned is said to be like 5% of the total size of the whole thing it's unknown the exact percentage because the bulk of the catacombs are unmapped most documents on them having been destroyed over time and BTW people have literally DIED getting lost down there
Dude, you should talk about the muppets haunted mansion. That movie was awesome!
I agree. That was a great Muppet special. I was worried it was going to be bad like the Muppet specials from the 2000 decade, but was pleasantly surprised and relieved.
For the direct Disney video sequel line up I do like the Aladdin sequels, lion king sequels, Cinderella 3, Beauty and the beast the enchanted Christmas and I have a soft spot for the little mermaid ones. This one was really unnecessary
I remember when I first saw the preview on the Emperors New Groove DVD, I thought it looked good, but I was in elementary school and liked everything.
When I eventually watched it, I didn't think it was the worst, but it didn't please me.
Most advertising can make a bad animated film look like a masterpiece.
when i saw the thumbnail i thought hank hill in a hawaiian shirt would crash the movie.
For me, the biggest insult this movie does to the original (save the fact that it merely exists), is that it was all done just to get Quasimodo a girlfriend, and that so little care was put into the rest of it. I find that to try to justify the movie being made just to get Quasi a girl regardless of the quality of the rest of it, low-key implies that the passion and effort put into the songs, the animation, and everything that mad the first movie so breathtaking, ultimately doesn't matter (or even like it's something to be ashamed of). I think that's worse than anything said by the first movie's biggest detractors, be they Victor Hugo devotees or just overprotective parents who don't want their kids to see the first.
Compounded by this is the fact that Michael Eisner said that the original Hunchback was his favorite Disney film! (Yes, really!) You'd think that even if he had lost his touch, he might have at least attempted to push for something of at least slightly higher quality.
Even worse is that this movie reportedly started production same time as 'Lion King 2'. The latter came out in 1998, while this one didn't come out until 2002 (with a 2000-copyright logo at the end credits). So it seems like Disney just left it sitting soon the shelf for years without any attempt to polish it up.
*VAGUELY implies. Stop using "low-key" just because it's the current slang. We already have much better words.
@@LuckyVine Yes. VAGUELY implies. I'm sorry.
It's like they didn't even edit it.
You know what? I remember hating this movie as the worse Disney sequel when I saw it, and I still do, but while I was watching your video, I found myslef really impressed with the quality of the storyboards. Every shot, the angles and placement of the backgrounds and the characters is really really competent. I think what makes the animation so bad is that it HAS to work with the constraints of style, scale and character design of the first movie, but with a tiny percentage of its budget, which means, among over things, no shadows, and boring design for new characters. I think the animators and story-boarders that worked on it are talented (after all they are at Disney), but working with impossible constraints.
The story is still shit though. It sounds like it was a total cash-grab written in a week by people who didn't care about the first movie and never read the book.
PS: I have been watching some Dingo Pictures stuff lately, that might be why I found this visually kind of appealing lol
Victor Hugo must be rolling in his grave
The worst of the Disney sequels. Soooo disrespectful to the first film.
16:25 that's the only thing I'd remembered Jennifer Love Hewitt being in the two Garfield live action movies
28:05 Sarouch's Rafiki impression. *cue Circle of Life*
Godspeed AniMat
Last time he did this was "The Nuttiest Nutcracker" 10 Months ago!
Dexter The Nostalgia Toonster, the last Animat Watches was actually back in February with Willy's Wonderland.
@@andrewharkin9774 I was close
It really kinda does look more like a Golden Films movie, but then again, Golden Films' Hunchback is worse!
The sad part is, apart from the stupid ending the Golden Films one is the most book accurate. Too bad the animation is shit and the plot was poorly executed
Though I can agree if some people would think that it looks more like the GoodTimes/Jetlag adaptation.
@@scoutart1508 You're thinking of the GoodTimes/Jetlag one. Phelous reviews that here. ua-cam.com/video/ukAqfXkz7Do/v-deo.html
I'm referring to the *Golden Films* one; the one where *QUASIMODO BECOMES HANDSOME!*
Phelous reviews the Golden Films one here.
ua-cam.com/video/XJu0kQbTNIk/v-deo.html
@@scoutart1508 actually, that’s the Jetlag version. The Golden Films version had Frollo renamed as “Jean-Claude”, and I’m not even sure WHAT he was. But, aside from that ableist ending, the thing that pissed me off the most was renaming Frollo and Esmeralda to “Jean-Claude” and “Melody”. Apparently, these writers think that kids are able to say “Quasimodo”, but can’t say “Esmeralda” or “Frollo”. That is insulting to children’s intelligence.
........ The ONLY question that comes to mind when it comes to THIS sequel........ WHY?????!!!!!! XD
32:12 - 34:10 Honestly, I am quite skeptical of giving Quasimodo a girlfriend in the sequel?
Heck, I would rather see some stupid, annoying 😒 🙄 characters be single and never got girlfriends like Elliot with Giselle in the Open Season sequels, Beast Boy and Raven in TTG, Johnny and Mavis in Hotel Transylvania sequels and Sid and Brooke in Ice Age 5. Seriously do we really need to have Elliot, Beast Boy, Johnny or Sid getting a girlfriend? No, this is completely unnecessary and just lazy writing and no character development and just throw in and shoehorn a pointless romantic relationship to make us think we should care about this idiotic person who does absolutely nothing but cringe humor and wants true love.
9:51 excuse me AniMat watch your language
33:37-33:41 Yep, Seal of Garbage confirmed.
❤💖 21:15 - 23:15 To be honest, I kinda agreed with you on your opinion. Don't get me wrong, I do find the message of "True beauty isn't from the outside, it's from the inside that truly counts. Never judge a book 📖 by its cover" which is a good important life lessons towards kids and adults why you shouldn't judge people based on their appearance only just judge them based on their character and actions.
Plus, what's the point of caring about that stupid bell 🔔? Seriously that bell 🔔 has beautiful diamonds 💎, rubies, and emeralds in the inside and what happens if they ring 💍 it and might destroyed the jewels inside and it will destroyed it and making it look ugly in the inside. Doesn't feel ironic and hypocritical to have the message of true beauty isn't from the outside but the inside?
That's how 🤔 really stupid and messed up. That's like designing a cake 🎂 by putting huge amounts of sugar and candy 🍬 😋 to make it taste delicious. Too much sugar, movie! 😠😡 😃😀😄😁😊😉 👍🏻 💖❤
I used to love this movie as a kid and watched it so many times. Honestly didn't see a difference between this movie's and the first's animation 😅
23:00 Actually...The bell would just make a VERY NASTY sound...
Top 5 worst Disney's DTV sequels:
5) The Jungle Book 2
4) Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True
3) Belle's Magical World
2) Mulan II
1) The Hunchback of Notre Dame II
It’s a good thing when I watched the original Cinderella last year in honor of its 70th anniversary, I skipped Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True and went right to Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time. Definitely don’t have any regrets over my decision.
@@hunterolaughlin A Twist in Time was incredible, along with Bambi 2, Return to Neverland and The Lion King 2
Aladdin and the King of Thieves is a great sequel, too, if only the animation was just as good as in Bambi 2 or Cinderella 3. A Twist in Time.
Other good sequels worth watching are The Rescuers Down Under and Fantasia 2000, although they're produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The Jungle Book 2 was a theatrical release. And it's not that bad when you think about it. I think it's more of an okay-ish movie with a lot of bad moments. But I really appreciated the animation and character development.
@@vetarlittorf1807 It's okay you like the movie, but the biggest issue I have with The Jungle Book 2 is that it mostly repeats the original movie's plot and some characters don't add much to the story. The only interesting part is watching Mowgli being torn between his home in the jungle or start a new life in the village.
It’s sad that Jennifer Love Hewitt had this as her next film after Heartbreakers
Who is even Jennifer Love Hewitt? And How exactly is it sad? Also last question, what is Heartbreakers? I never heard of that Movie nor seen it before in my entire Life that I would like to know all about it.
The use of cel animation, especially for early 2000’s standards is kind of a step backwards, I think.
This was supposedly done in 1997, and was shelved until 2002.
@@eugeneketaminekrebs3403 Ih really? Well I never knew that. Very good point.
@@Tombola1993 I've heard so I could be wrong.
Call me crazy, but this animation kinda feels like I'm watching a Japanese anime film more than a Disney sequel that I was watching.
Probably.
@@michaeltan1208 Well it was animated in Japan, that's probably why.
Oh yeah. I've waited for him to tear this apart
Victor Hugo would have surely approved Quasimodo's love interest...
I have no doubts.
The same studio gave us Batman: The Animated Series.
It’s called TMS Animation. They also did Akira and Animaniacs. Which is why I kept thinking Wakko Warner is going to pop out of nowhere and bash someone’s head with a giant mallet.
@@tomjackson6077 Someone’s been watching Disneycember. 😏
I doubt Victor Hugo would have approved of the decision to make Quasimodo the main protagonist, given how he was just Frollo's lackey in the book. And the book was more about Notre Dame itself than any character.
Well, he did marry her in the book to keep people from hanging her.
I bet this will get a 2/10 with the Seal of Garbage
Update: It got a 3, but still got the seal of garbage
I know most the sequels have a some drop in quality but good lord this one is big
11:19 Oh look! It's Notre Dame Battlefield Omega Form!
20:32 God: Here I've come to save the day!
5:20 that is just cursed
Can You Do Lion King 2 Or Even 11/2 They're Actually Pretty Good
I used to love this movie cuz as a child we couldn’t afford much stuff so I had few movies to watch (at that time I hadn’t seen many disney movies, the only other ones I had were Winnie the Pooh and the Lion King trilogy) but I had The Hunchback of Notre Dame II on dvd so it was one of those that I played over and over until it was all scratched and lagged when playing it. I know the animation wasn’t very good (or the story), but this was the first Hunchback movie that I saw. It still has a spot in my heart❤
I’d rather listen to “a guy like you“ than the gargoyles’ song from this movie any day
You think this is bad?? Try watching the Golden Films Hunchback of Notre Dame! I never want to watch Quasi-Handsome and Melody again, and I loathe those talking instruments!
Here's a link to a version with a commentary.
ua-cam.com/video/2AyFHKCAifY/v-deo.html
Just wait until you watch Mulan II
ah yes the one where Mushu is the villain, theres no alliance so they doomed all of china and the one where all the characters be like: screw all of china, we wanna follow our heart!
@@Evanedits191 Yup. That movie dishonors us and dishonors our cows.
Oh, yes, the story of a young woman who followed her heart so much that she let everyone in China die, and Mushu became a demon
Belle’s Magical World had Cross-Eyed Belle
The Hunchback of Notre Dame II had Handsome Quasimodo
Mulan II has Pyscho Shang
Psycho Shang: “And next time... DON’T LEAVE YOUR POST!!!”
And Mulan has completely and utterly betrayed her character.
I agree with you on the bell thing. Why would you put fancy decorations on the INSIDE of the bell insted of the OUTSIDE??? You can't see it on the inside & it's not like these are the kind of bells you hit with a mallet
The plot is like if national treasure 3 with Nicholas Cage and stealing the liberty bell. 🔔 I don't know if there was a part two for the national treasure, but I like making up titles.
This movie is weird, the main character is a sub uncle to the guy he friended and the one that he use to have crush with, and some bell heist with the love interest part of the plot. This plot is a mess.
This movie...
The demon of Babylon disguises himself with the coat of the righteous
Press f to respect Animat
Press double f for respect because he got *this* to review instead of Beauty and the Beast in honor of its 30th anniversary.
