When he fell off the balcony I said jokingly to myself "what he can fly or something", then I proceeded to bang my head on a table for three minuets when it actually happened.
i literally said outloud : "what? is he an angel or something" needless to say i banged my head on the wall for hours. i am dizzy and suffer from short term memory lost. and i suffer from shortt term memory lost.
that made me laugh. Yeah he can fight because he’s an angel he’s not a bird man but an angel. he is a fighter and he can fly to now apparently. I wish Disney would’ve put this twist in their movie that would be fun! I like this idea. I’m keeping it. As another interpretation of the story that we all thought we knew.

This is probably my favorite Phelous video, the writing’s great. “If it’s ugly you like, my sweet, you’ll love my penis,” and “I’d give him my heart, seal it with a fart” are classics lol
There is one good thing I can say about this movie: I like how they don't show Quasimodo's face until it's revealed at the festival. It puts the audience in the same shoes as the characters reacting to it, which works better to teach the lesson. Of course, they proceed to botch it horribly, but I like that one part.
I love that they just throw the Gypsies under the bus in this adaptation. In the original book they're mostly beggars, pickpockets, and street performers, but it's evident from the test that's its the only they can survive given how they're viewed and treated by "normal" Europeans. Still, they clearly have their own code of ethics they follow, and are decent and loyal to you once you've been accepted into their group. Even the infamous "Court of Miracles" scene is meant to be the Gypsies' parody of the outright corruption of the Real Legal courts of medieval France which we see in the latter parts of the book. Here they're just outright bad guys, which makes it all the more confusing since Esmeralda is essentially a Gypsy herself.
Is it wrong that I find Frollston's attitude kind of funny at times? Just the way he delivered that "You'll do, holy father" line and even that "My first wife" joke?
+chimerschang I actually also got a smile out of Frolloston's villain song. He just sounds like he's having a blast with his entire performance, which is why he's the only legitimately likeable thing about this.
+Micah Hirsh You might be onto something there. I only know Harnell as Wakko from Animaniacs, so I don't know the full range of his voice (the way I know, say, Rob Paulsen's voice), but it does sound similar.
Actually...the Hunchback being some kind of fallen angel sounds like a badass story if told in the right way,...of course, here, was not what we got. ;n;
PyroGothNerd they weren't exactly bestest buddies in the book like here though, think it's more that he runs off with Esmeralda figuring "if he's dead I've got a better chance"...yeah this story doesn't work being adapted for children
When you said the secret was coming as he was falling, I had two guesses: one, he would be revealed as an angel with wings, or two, he would smash on the ground and turn out to be a beautiful person inside. I'm not sure which theory was dumber, but the important thing is that one of them came true.
Maybe he was left there to teach the people not to be judgmental about appearance, but he didn't know he was an angel, so I dunno about that. Maybe he's half angel? Angels as described in the Bible are pretty fucking crazy looking, so it could also explain his appearance. We're spending more time thinking about this than the filmmakers did. We should totally write speculative/AU fanfiction for movies like these.
I guess Quasimodo is an angel quite literally and figuratively! I love it! I love how he doesn’t realize that he is until the very end of the story. Turns out the story is not quite what you were told. He is angel. And it fits his personality.
prowlandsasuke Yup, he was, and Esmeralda was in love with him. But he was a massive asshole who just wanted to get what he wanted from her and dump her ass to the curb. Disney left out that part.
The Dingo Version actually got that part right. Interestingly, none of these cartoon versions have both Pierre and Phoebus.Gee, I guess it may not be such a good idea to make kid's films out of novels by people who viewed humanity as utter filth.

"No. It is not a bone." Then what is it? Wings? What, does he have a pair of angel wings just hiding in that hunched back of his? *6 minutes later* ...You gotta be kidding me.
it certainly is the least bad I guess. But you wanna know what adaptation I found was really good, the Disney version the Disney version was so good! But that one was more epic in action packed, this one was more whimsical and magical. If you’re looking for something more magical watch this if you’re looking for something more adventurous with lots of action go for the Disney version. Just saying. These are both good adaptations in their own way.
@@Roadwarior2I never saw that one but since Frollo is such an evil and sinster character, I thought that the villian in the sequel looks like a pathetic Frollo mark 2.
wait, healed somebody? How did I not notice! How did I not notice that he healed somebody! He has magical powers! Healing powers at that! Now he kind of reminds me of Rapunzel from tangled. Because in tangled Rapunzel also had powers which came in her hair. And could heal. Well, I guess Quasimodo’s came from his hands instead maybe. Or at least I assume it was his hands. Now Rapunzel and Quasimodo could be friends lol. Just saying. If you want to make the story more magical go for it.
+Aubbie_Chan The funny thing for me was how Phelous said it's a lot to take in, my video got stuck buffering just as the wings were revealed. It's almost as if my wireless was so awestruck at how stupid it is that it refused to load beyond that point! =P
17:18 " There is only one Esmerelda, and that blimp on stage is not her ". This movie is such an accurate representation of 1400's France, when fireworks, jazz music, blimps, and electric keyboards were all the rage.
You know, if they allowed Quasimodo to die in this version it would have been a really powerful bittersweet ending. Yeah he dies, but he sacrificed his life to save his friends and he leaves the Earth knowing he is loved... Or might've been worse I dunno.
if he’s not a bird man and not an angel then, what is he? An ex man? I don’t get it! I don’t know if he’s an ex man! I’m sure an ex man is dangerous not dangerous but different. But whatever he is he is pure and kind! And sensitive. And he loves to play and sing and dance. And he loves bells and gargoyles.
Mortilum It was actually in animated series in which the two of them were spies and had a robotic talking dog sidekick (I might have watched it once or twice...I didn't have cable, okay?)
+HORRIOR Yeah, his horror reviews can wear thin with how cliched the flicks can be. With bad cartoons, it can be too hilarious. Hope he gets to Goodtimes with their Little Mermaid and Jungle Book.
+HORRIOR Agreed. *PLEASE* don't ever stop reviewing these. Even when there aren't any left to review. I'll even fund Goodtimes/Goldenfilms to make more cartoons for Phelous to review.
I remember my grandma had The Secret of Mulan as some of her VHS tapes for me. It was the only movie I recall watching once, and never again. My grandma was normally really good with finding the right movies. She had Lion King, Snow White, Land Before Time, Rescuers, Aristocats, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. She even got the right version of Mulan eventually! I have no clue how she ended up with Secret of Mulan, but luckily we never had to watch it again.
Okay, who voiced Esmeralda in this? I swear whoever it is sounds like a strange mix of Jodi Benson and Paige O'Hara. Not a bad singer, but the songs, well...
"it's funny these dark stories got adapted for children in the first place". That's why i'm waiting for you to do Good Times' rendition of The Little Mermaid. That has to be all kinds of amazing!
Two things that really made me laugh out loud were: At 22:45, when the guy disguised as the Archdeacon is revealed. Apparently the thing that reveals his identity is that, when the Archdeacon robe is removed, he's wearing different clothes -- he didn't disguise his face or wear a wig or anything. This implies that, if they saw the ACTUAL Archdeacon dressed slightly differently, they wouldn't recognize him, and would accuse him of being a liar if he claimed to be the Archdeacon. I know a lot of movie characters are really stupid, but these people haven't even mastered the concept of object permanence (e.g. when a person is wearing different clothes, they're still the same person). A simple game of peekaboo would blow their minds. And of course, the reveal that Quasimodo has angel wings. I mean, my god (or should I say, m'god?) that came out of nowhere. As I was watching the clip in the review, I was thinking: "Well, Quasimodo is hanging off the edge of the building, and they can't save him, but obviously they're not going to kill him off in a children's movie. I guess something could break his fall, or he could... no, obviously he's not going to fly, that's just stupid." But here we are. Having said all that: This is better, especially in terms of its animation, than, say, a typical Dingo movie or Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time. But that just serves to accentuate the stupid moments when they happen. A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes, or animation that's good enough to show Quasimodo sprouting wings. The Secret of the Hunchback of Notre Dame is right in the sweet spot where it's good enough that we expect better, so we can be shocked when these stupid things happen.
I won't lie, these reviews of the bad Hunchback and Anastasia knockoffs got me interested in the Disney version of hunchback and the Bluth Anastasia , which I liked so much I am travelling to Stuttgart to watch the stage versions of them. So just wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
Maybe him growing wings like an angel at the end was symbolism for him dying and ascending to heaven? Like cus it's a kids film they didn't wanna show him actually die so they Interpreted it as him ascending to heaven? Maybe I'm giving a kids movie too much credit... I think they should have "Just let him die!"

Yet saying bad things about Microsoft online(We all did it after our 3rd bluescreen of death) means you can't work at Microsoft? This is an unfair world.
+fatjoe460 I was about to comment on that. After watching this vid I was thinking "Where have I heard that music before?" Hours later, "Oh! Puma Man!" He flies like a moron!
What the fuck was that?! Quasimodo was a fucking angel?! Next thing your gonna tell me is that the Phantom of the Opera is a Mock Turtle!! Or the Elephant Man is a bloody Hippogriff!!
+IndianaJonesfans09 Next they'll say Frankenstein's really a puppy dog, Medusa was a butterfly in disguise, Dracula is a walking diamond, and the Jabberwocky is a magic carpet. Oh the stupid ideas they could create.
I remember as a kid watching this Hunchback of Notre Dame animated series where Quasimodo didn't look so ugly, Esmerelda has a brother and Frollo was an evil sorceror. Also Quasi was good pals with the King of France and had a plot where he went to find his parents who have created the Philosopher's Stone.
You were playing the Pumaman theme but that plot twist was pure Cave Dwellers! I never would have thought that more than one movie would make the same baffling choice. Isn't the world so beautiful?
I gotta give the movie a little bit of credit; at least the creators took a page from the Disney version and didn't make Quasimodo here act/sound like he has a mental deficiency, unlike all the other Hunchback movies Phelous has reviewed so far. No, I'm not counting the Handsome of Notre Dame.
The Handsome "Hunchback" of Notre Damn? (From Golden Films?) Yeah, I agree. That was probably even worse than Dingo's adaptation in terms of the story! 😬
@@cameronbosch1213 i actually had that version of the Hunchback as a kid (Golden Films not Dingo) so needless to say i was thrilled when Phelous reviewed it XD Here's hoping he covers The Jungle King at some point
@RyushuSuperCat Oh hell, Golden Films made some bad films, although they made so passable ones, like their Aladdin adaptation (with Goodtimes). But then Golden Films releases their Hunchback adaption and it blows even the Dingo adaptation out of the water in terms of how bad it is...
+Tronathon242 Oh that's nothing, you should see the "secret" from their Anastasia knockoff. Spoiler alert: Her murdered family came back as talking musical instruments and have the power to resurrect the dead before their souls return to the afterlife. I'm not even remotely joking.
If I remember correctly, the Adventures in Odyssey video series was based upon a long running radio program of the same name. It does show that the animation was done by the same people, since some characters look like they belong in Odyssey, including Sheriff Frollo and all of the priests.
So if Quasimodo has the power to heal and fly, does that mean his secret is that he's a mutant? If so, that would explain why the government wanted to get rid of him.

"The most beautiful girl in Paris: Esmeralda!" Ooh! Where is she? (young woman appears) Is she behind that girl who just came through the curtain? ... Oh...THAT'S the "most beautiful girl in Paris"? I mean, she's pretty and all, but I don't see where they're getting "most beautiful girl in Paris"...
Friends with rocks, reference to Phelous being a rock monster who misses his friends from Suburban Knights? So these guys helped make Phineas and Ferb? Ok. I guess that explains Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a hunched over loner who lives in a tower and it obviously (comedy) evil because he is so ugly. .
Pretty much none of the film adaptations of the book are very accurate to the book. Probably because the book ends incredibly depressingly, and since most people want a slightly more happy ending to their movie pretty much all adaptations leave at least part of the cast alive at the end. (Usually Esmeralda, and she usually ends up with either Phoebus or Pierre Gringoire if the latter isn't left out of the story completely.) But even if none of the movies are accurate to the book, at least some of them did something with the idea and made a good movie. Can't say that for this version, though. I think the only good animated Hunchback movie I've seen is the Disney one.
+Snowy-snow The 80's Hunchback film by Burbank Animation isn't too bad either. Not accurate, yes, but it's still tons better than this 'take', just don't mistake it for the 90's remake from Burbank. THAT one is crap.
+Snowy-snow Yeah, the closest I think was the live action version from the 50s. People got pissy as Disney for it having a happy ending, but that's really nothing new. The famous 30s version with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara had a happy ending. But this isn't even close, 2% close if I am feeling real generous.
Tyler Bioshock R Personally, I don't mind. That none of the movies are accurate. It makes it easier to disconnect it from the book (which I love! ^^) and see the movies as their own story. That doesn't excuse some of them being absolutely horrible, though. I own a copy of the 30s version. Old fashioned, but really good in my opinion. The make-up on Quasimodo was really well-done. The 30s version actually had a slightly sad ending for Quasimodo. I mean, he lived at the end (as did Esmeralda) but he was pretty much left where he was at the beginning of the story: alone in the cathedral. And that last line he says to the gargoyle 'I wish I were made of stone like you' shows pretty well he's not exactly happy with his lot in life. Gosh... I should watch that version again. XD I forgot how much I liked it.
Snowy-snow Oh yeah, great version, not entirely happy, but its not the soul crushing ending of the book. Also the Disney version made the film a lot less, anti Church. Seriously, I get the impression he wasn't a fan of the Church. Not judging, I'm just saying, frankly I kinda liked what they did with that aspect in the 1996 version. We have a awful person motivated by religion, and a good guy in the form of the bishop who is nice. Good and bad representations of religion, I feel its a bit more balanced. Book is still amazing regardless, just buy some cheap whiskey before finishing it.
Tyler Bioshock R Victor Hugo was a very religious man. But he wrote 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' during a personal crisis of faith, that's why all these 'anti-church' things are in there. (I don't really care if he was religious or not, but it's an interesting little background fact. ^^ Personally, I actually think it's good he saw the bad things of the religion as well. I respect him for that, not all people can do that.)
I finally got your joke, Phelous! When you mentioned it stupid if "they drained Quasimodo and put a brace on him to make him normal", they actually did that in the recent movie Victor Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe. Nice!
The wings-inside-his-hunched-back idea is stupid for this movie, though I can see it being of some use in a thriller/horror story that has nothing to do with The Hunchback of Notre Dame, maybe something anime-esque.
My literal reaction to the ending was "This doesn't seem like much of a- ...Oh... Oh, WHAT THE FUCK!?" Did he seriously sprout wings? Or did he die before he hit the ground and the whole angel wings thing was symbolism for his death? It's completely diverting from the original tale either way. If I was Victor Hugo, I'd be turning in my grave.
I like him sprouting wings! That can actually break his fall so he doesn’t fall to the ground and die. I love Quasimodo’s secret! It fits his character perfectly! I wonder what secret Mulan must be keeping?
+BlackBeWhite2k7 I know right? That is fucking pitiful. I'd say the same about the now legendary Good Times version of Beauty and the Beast. Pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as Belle's Magical World, the second Disney DTV sequel to the 1991 masterpiece. Why is the worst movies based somewhat on a popular fairytale not the rip offs, but the DTV sequels made by the same bloody company!!!
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez The cheapquels were made by Disney's tv animation studio. That's why the budgets are nonexistent for near all of them. It doesn't excuse the writing but it explains why they're so cheap.
I'm guessing the reason Quasi could heal and sprouted wings was a way to say he's a saint. An angel on earth despite his deformed body. Wont lie, it looks weird when it happens and the idea of his hunchback actually being wings that hadnt emerged is.. actually disturbing ó.0

I love that they just throw the Gypsies under the bus in this adaptation. In the original book they're mostly beggars, pickpockets, and street performers, but it's evident from the test that's its the only they can survive given how they're viewed and treated by "normal" Europeans.

And that includes Disney’s cash in sequel.
@@christianpaystrup4427There's gotta be something in that hump right?
@@Roadwarior2I never saw that one but since Frollo is such an evil and sinster character, I thought that the villian in the sequel looks like a pathetic Frollo mark 2.
Oh God.
I just realized that the Hunchback healing that guy was a foreshadow of his "secret."
*in ChaosD1's voice* ANGELS DON'T WORK THAT WAY!
MUH GOD!
Illuminati confirmed.
wait, healed somebody? How did I not notice! How did I not notice that he healed somebody! He has magical powers! Healing powers at that! Now he kind of reminds me of Rapunzel from tangled. Because in tangled Rapunzel also had powers which came in her hair. And could heal. Well, I guess Quasimodo’s came from his hands instead maybe. Or at least I assume it was his hands. Now Rapunzel and Quasimodo could be friends lol. Just saying. If you want to make the story more magical go for it.
The ending . . . the ending . . . THE ENDING. In the words of JonTron: 'WHAT. . . . WHAT THE FUCK!?'
I'm sick of your shit!
(Starts hammering the movie)
JonTron in the tune of Circle of Life: “Oh my GoOoOOOoOD! oh my god, my GOD!”
yo come on I love the ending it’s very profound and powerful! It is a great ending!
@theenergetichopecat7006
Lol, nope.
"SACRE BLEU THIS, BITCH!" Oh my god😂
Did anyone else think that their Frolo was doing an impression of Alan Rickmans sheriff of Naughtingham
+Stephen Smith That's what I thought as well! I felt he was more or less copying Alan Rickman's sheriff rather than Disney's Gaston.
I can't believe Birdman ripped off this movie.
AceAttorny How so?
+CookieMastah
He was joking about how Birdman involves the imagery of a character using wings to fly through the city near the end as well.
Is that a film?
I literally sat there yelling "WHAT?!" at the wings, like seriously....WHAT
same
+Aubbie_Chan Maybe he grabbed a P-wing?
+Aubbie_Chan The funny thing for me was how Phelous said it's a lot to take in, my video got stuck buffering just as the wings were revealed.
It's almost as if my wireless was so awestruck at how stupid it is that it refused to load beyond that point! =P
+Aubbie_Chan I almost fell over laughing at that point
+Tareltonlives Yeah, characters randomly spawning wings isn't new to us. :P
17:18 " There is only one Esmerelda, and that blimp on stage is not her ". This movie is such an accurate representation of 1400's France, when fireworks, jazz music, blimps, and electric keyboards were all the rage.
You know, if they allowed Quasimodo to die in this version it would have been a really powerful bittersweet ending. Yeah he dies, but he sacrificed his life to save his friends and he leaves the Earth knowing he is loved...
Or might've been worse I dunno.
Maybe him having wings is "soft" symbolism that he's flying with the angels.... If not then, what the actual hell?!
lool
Yeah and in the original novel I think Quasi dies.
Even in the Disney version they ran out of things for him to do after rescuing Esmerelda.
Unless a theory he really did die and flew off to heaven.
The TRUE Secret of the Hunchback: It's actually a giant pimple.
+WeirdoTZero (Saw the ending)WHAT? WHAT? WHAT WHAT?
+WeirdoTZero Yes, you're seeing that correctly. The first secret sounded better than the actual secret of the story.
Pop.
+joyunicycle What was the secret in the book.
The secret is that he kills Frollo and dies after Esmeralda got hanged at the gallows.
Fucking lost it twice with this one. The avenge scene and that ending. Also he's not Birdman nor an angel. He's an X-Men.
I know this is 5 years late but there is a X-Men called Angel. So maybe he is Angel from X-Men.
if he’s not a bird man and not an angel then, what is he? An ex man? I don’t get it! I don’t know if he’s an ex man! I’m sure an ex man is dangerous not dangerous but different. But whatever he is he is pure and kind! And sensitive. And he loves to play and sing and dance. And he loves bells and gargoyles.
@@melissalayson7275 Maybe Mr Sinister turned him ugly...
He's an Aasimar from D&D.
Vegeta: Too bad it's Sunday. People won't be able to sprout wings tomorrow.
He blew up the cargo gargoyle!

Note: Red Bull does not actually give you wings.

Agreed. *PLEASE* don't ever stop reviewing these. Even when there aren't any left to review. I'll even fund Goodtimes/Goldenfilms to make more cartoons for Phelous to review.

I remember my grandma had The Secret of Mulan as some of her VHS tapes for me. It was the only movie I recall watching once, and never again.
My grandma was normally really good with finding the right movies. She had Lion King, Snow White, Land Before Time, Rescuers, Aristocats, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. She even got the right version of Mulan eventually!
I have no clue how she ended up with Secret of Mulan, but luckily we never had to watch it again.
It probably fooled your Grandma into thinking it was the real thing.
Quasimodo didn't heal himself because his stand『Crazy Diamond』can only heal others.
Honestly, a couple of the jokes in this movie weren't bad. That scene with the doctor asking for water and some of Gaston guys lines come to mind.
Okay, who voiced Esmeralda in this? I swear whoever it is sounds like a strange mix of Jodi Benson and Paige O'Hara. Not a bad singer, but the songs, well...
I believe she is the same voice actress who voiced Odette in the Swan Princess 😊
I know it doesn’t credit her but it really sounds like her!
But, what else is there?
“We will avenge you my friend,” and “He’s no great loss,” are two lines I really shouldn’t have 😂 so much at.
I've just had a 14 hr day of college tests and teaching before commuting home.
I shed tears of joy seeing this in my feed.
Thank you, Phelous ;_;
I love your profile picture.
"I will aveng you my friend(still alive" (runs) This part just broke me! XD
What about the Ending?!
Thomas Fredrickson
That was bizar as well. But this one was defenately the funniest just because of the logic.
+dricsi07 That one and the wings at the end made me crack up
+Tareltonlives I'm sure Twi would know. :P
That's right! She had a stupid "get wings" episode!
"it's funny these dark stories got adapted for children in the first place". That's why i'm waiting for you to do Good Times' rendition of The Little Mermaid. That has to be all kinds of amazing!

+Santoryu90 NO! It's "MY GAWD!!"
The movie or Phelous' commentary?
♪ Puma Man! He flies like a moron! ♫
Two things that really made me laugh out loud were:
At 22:45, when the guy disguised as the Archdeacon is revealed. Apparently the thing that reveals his identity is that, when the Archdeacon robe is removed, he's wearing different clothes -- he didn't disguise his face or wear a wig or anything. This implies that, if they saw the ACTUAL Archdeacon dressed slightly differently, they wouldn't recognize him, and would accuse him of being a liar if he claimed to be the Archdeacon. I know a lot of movie characters are really stupid, but these people haven't even mastered the concept of object permanence (e.g. when a person is wearing different clothes, they're still the same person). A simple game of peekaboo would blow their minds.
And of course, the reveal that Quasimodo has angel wings. I mean, my god (or should I say, m'god?) that came out of nowhere. As I was watching the clip in the review, I was thinking: "Well, Quasimodo is hanging off the edge of the building, and they can't save him, but obviously they're not going to kill him off in a children's movie. I guess something could break his fall, or he could... no, obviously he's not going to fly, that's just stupid." But here we are.
Having said all that: This is better, especially in terms of its animation, than, say, a typical Dingo movie or Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time. But that just serves to accentuate the stupid moments when they happen. A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes, or animation that's good enough to show Quasimodo sprouting wings.
The Secret of the Hunchback of Notre Dame is right in the sweet spot where it's good enough that we expect better, so we can be shocked when these stupid things happen.
"A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes" is the best description of Dingo movies ever. xD
I won't lie, these reviews of the bad Hunchback and Anastasia knockoffs got me interested in the Disney version of hunchback and the Bluth Anastasia , which I liked so much I am travelling to Stuttgart to watch the stage versions of them. So just wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
5 years late but are you also intreseted in the story of anastasia?
Oh, so that's what Dex Dogtective meant by "The Secret's inside". It's inside the Hunchback!!
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm a muthafuckin' gargoyle, bitch!" NEVER fails to make me chuckle.
Wait a minute...did that "Secret of Mulan" shot there have Mulan as a double centaur?
...what...
Best I can tell, she's a caterpillar. I started to watch The Secret of Mulan, and the main cast seems to be made entirely of insects.
Kohdok She's a bug....all the cast are bugs...for some reason.
This is why I prefer Disney version of mulan than the "secret of mulan" rip off
Angel Quasimodo suddenly seems a lot more plausible.
Andrew Ollmann They didn't want to be racist and fail at drawing Asians, so they did bugs.
Maybe him growing wings like an angel at the end was symbolism for him dying and ascending to heaven? Like cus it's a kids film they didn't wanna show him actually die so they Interpreted it as him ascending to heaven? Maybe I'm giving a kids movie too much credit...
I think they should have "Just let him die!"
Then why did the priest say "At last they'll see you as you are. As you always were"?
At least Quasimodo was an actual character in this one. Better than some of the other adaptations...
The magic of the Puma flows through his veins. Let that be a lesson to everyone: Don't judge someone by their looks because they might be the Pyuumaman. Thepumayman.
+Fiesta del Chorizo I knew that music sounded familiar! It was one of the first MST3K episodes I ever saw! xD
Because he is made of Earth, corn grows in him!
He has the power to rear project cities.
Wait a sec, the animators that did Disney ripoffs are now working for Disney? LOL
Yet saying bad things about Microsoft online(We all did it after our 3rd bluescreen of death) means you can't work at Microsoft? This is an unfair world.
Love the Puma Man theme towards the end. More people need to watch that glorious movie :)
+fatjoe460 I was about to comment on that. After watching this vid I was thinking "Where have I heard that music before?" Hours later, "Oh! Puma Man!" He flies like a moron!
the sealed it with a fart made me laugh way to hard
I have seven year old humor at times it got me too 😂😂

''Ain't I a stinker?''
The First Wife joke actually made me laugh.
Ditto.
Yep
yeah.... NGL that made me chuckle
Yeah that was a good one. :)
20:39 even in this version, Frollo still sings to his fireplace.
I'll take Hellfire over this any day.
"So--that's Gaston/Frollo's big plan here? Blackmail the church?"
Clearly the guy calling himself "high sheriff" is an English spy.
I love it when you review bad animated movies.
What the fuck was that?! Quasimodo was a fucking angel?! Next thing your gonna tell me is that the Phantom of the Opera is a Mock Turtle!! Or the Elephant Man is a bloody Hippogriff!!
+IndianaJonesfans09 Well, they made the Phantom of the Opera into am Emo Sex God.....
Tareltonlives Yeeaah...
+IndianaJonesfans09 Next they'll say Frankenstein's really a puppy dog, Medusa was a butterfly in disguise, Dracula is a walking diamond, and the Jabberwocky is a magic carpet. Oh the stupid ideas they could create.
+IndianaJonesfans09
Actually, the Elephant Man is half-man and half-Heffalump. Bestiality FTW!!!
joyunicycle I know, right? Maybe the Hydra is actually a mutant turtle!
The real secret of the hunchback is that he keep a pile of porn magazines under his bed.
Frollo?
...Do you not?
Can you blame him? He was always alone. Have to pass the time somehow 😂😂
I remember as a kid watching this Hunchback of Notre Dame animated series where Quasimodo didn't look so ugly, Esmerelda has a brother and Frollo was an evil sorceror. Also Quasi was good pals with the King of France and had a plot where he went to find his parents who have created the Philosopher's Stone.
Lukethefox the fuuuuuuuuck?
I feel like I forgot how to understand English after reading that lmao
That series sounds like an absolute dumpster fire
The Secret of the Hunchback is that he's Archangel from X-Men, he was also in the latest film joining forces with Apocalypse.
*Manservant:* A monster creating panic and fear. Who does that make you think of?
*Frollo:* My first wife.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me: This movie?
You were playing the Pumaman theme but that plot twist was pure Cave Dwellers! I never would have thought that more than one movie would make the same baffling choice. Isn't the world so beautiful?
I gotta give the movie a little bit of credit; at least the creators took a page from the Disney version and didn't make Quasimodo here act/sound like he has a mental deficiency, unlike all the other Hunchback movies Phelous has reviewed so far.
No, I'm not counting the Handsome of Notre Dame.
The Handsome "Hunchback" of Notre Damn? (From Golden Films?) Yeah, I agree. That was probably even worse than Dingo's adaptation in terms of the story! 😬
@@cameronbosch1213 i actually had that version of the Hunchback as a kid (Golden Films not Dingo) so needless to say i was thrilled when Phelous reviewed it XD
Here's hoping he covers The Jungle King at some point
@RyushuSuperCat Oh hell, Golden Films made some bad films, although they made so passable ones, like their Aladdin adaptation (with Goodtimes). But then Golden Films releases their Hunchback adaption and it blows even the Dingo adaptation out of the water in terms of how bad it is...
21:28 Thank God for the lion showing up. I've never heard such cringeworthy love-talk in my life.
goddammit Phelous, the PumaMan music just about killed me. You always pick the perfect music to really elevate the scene. I love you man.
Me: Oh, can he fly or something?
*Quasimodo sprouts angel wings*
The FUCK!?
+Tronathon242 Oh that's nothing, you should see the "secret" from their Anastasia knockoff. Spoiler alert: Her murdered family came back as talking musical instruments and have the power to resurrect the dead before their souls return to the afterlife.
I'm not even remotely joking.
+Ally Gator Animator What drugs were the writers on to come up with that? It sounds amazing.
Tronathon242
All of them, literally all of the drugs.
+Tronathon242 Oh my God he's Yoshi!
+Ally Gator Animator And the Secret from their take on Mulan is that she and everyone in China are insects!
If I remember correctly, the Adventures in Odyssey video series was based upon a long running radio program of the same name. It does show that the animation was done by the same people, since some characters look like they belong in Odyssey, including Sheriff Frollo and all of the priests.
Hammer Man Yeah, it was based off a radio program, that's still running.
I can never hear Puma Man’s theme again without remembering this movie. Thank you Phelous, you spoil us.
So if Quasimodo has the power to heal and fly, does that mean his secret is that he's a mutant? If so, that would explain why the government wanted to get rid of him.
He's an Aasimar.
"I'm afraid Miracles are your department." Okay, that one line actually made me laugh.
Will you review the other "Secret of" films and Young Pocahontas? Cause the last one needs to be torn to shreds!
You’re wish was granted my friend!
Young Pocahontas or as it should be called Pocahontas since she was Literally 12 in real life when this all happened.
Hello, I'm a French student and I would like to tell you that you are one of my favorite youtuber ( with the Nostalgia Critic ). I want to thank you : you make me better in English ( vocabulary and grammar ).

"You are the only monster in this church at present"
OHHHHH SHIITTTTT SOOOOOONNNNN!
I keep coming back to this review when I need something to watch while I’m reading/cooking/needing something to focus on. This along with Secret of Anastasia are perfect: great editing, funny jokes, and your voice is really nice! It’s not often I rewatch a video, especially not after three years.
"The most beautiful girl in Paris: Esmeralda!"
Ooh! Where is she?
(young woman appears)
Is she behind that girl who just came through the curtain?
...
Oh...THAT'S the "most beautiful girl in Paris"? I mean, she's pretty and all, but I don't see where they're getting "most beautiful girl in Paris"...
All the other girls look like old man in drag.
Friends with rocks, reference to Phelous being a rock monster who misses his friends from Suburban Knights?
So these guys helped make Phineas and Ferb? Ok. I guess that explains Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a hunched over loner who lives in a tower and it obviously (comedy) evil because he is so ugly. .
Human angel hybrids are horrifically deformed and mentally disabled. They do have healing powers.
redloiyu654jay It's just what the movie is implying.
Quasimodo the greatest Aasimar ever.
@redloiyu654jay I’m pretty sure they do have angle/human offspring in the Bible, but they grow up to be giants.
The story takes place in the 1400s, not the 1800s.
+realitywarper93 The novel itself was written in the 1800s. I guess Phelous accidentally mixed the dates up.
Pretty much none of the film adaptations of the book are very accurate to the book. Probably because the book ends incredibly depressingly, and since most people want a slightly more happy ending to their movie pretty much all adaptations leave at least part of the cast alive at the end. (Usually Esmeralda, and she usually ends up with either Phoebus or Pierre Gringoire if the latter isn't left out of the story completely.)
But even if none of the movies are accurate to the book, at least some of them did something with the idea and made a good movie. Can't say that for this version, though. I think the only good animated Hunchback movie I've seen is the Disney one.
+Snowy-snow The 80's Hunchback film by Burbank Animation isn't too bad either. Not accurate, yes, but it's still tons better than this 'take', just don't mistake it for the 90's remake from Burbank. THAT one is crap.
+Snowy-snow
Yeah, the closest I think was the live action version from the 50s. People got pissy as Disney for it having a happy ending, but that's really nothing new. The famous 30s version with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara had a happy ending. But this isn't even close, 2% close if I am feeling real generous.
Tyler Bioshock R Personally, I don't mind. That none of the movies are accurate. It makes it easier to disconnect it from the book (which I love! ^^) and see the movies as their own story. That doesn't excuse some of them being absolutely horrible, though.
I own a copy of the 30s version. Old fashioned, but really good in my opinion. The make-up on Quasimodo was really well-done.
The 30s version actually had a slightly sad ending for Quasimodo. I mean, he lived at the end (as did Esmeralda) but he was pretty much left where he was at the beginning of the story: alone in the cathedral. And that last line he says to the gargoyle 'I wish I were made of stone like you' shows pretty well he's not exactly happy with his lot in life.
Gosh... I should watch that version again. XD I forgot how much I liked it.
Snowy-snow
Oh yeah, great version, not entirely happy, but its not the soul crushing ending of the book. Also the Disney version made the film a lot less, anti Church. Seriously, I get the impression he wasn't a fan of the Church. Not judging, I'm just saying, frankly I kinda liked what they did with that aspect in the 1996 version. We have a awful person motivated by religion, and a good guy in the form of the bishop who is nice. Good and bad representations of religion, I feel its a bit more balanced. Book is still amazing regardless, just buy some cheap whiskey before finishing it.
Tyler Bioshock R Victor Hugo was a very religious man. But he wrote 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' during a personal crisis of faith, that's why all these 'anti-church' things are in there. (I don't really care if he was religious or not, but it's an interesting little background fact. ^^ Personally, I actually think it's good he saw the bad things of the religion as well. I respect him for that, not all people can do that.)
Is it bad that I've watched these animated reviews over and over again? They're just too funny!
Nah I do it too
I finally got your joke, Phelous! When you mentioned it stupid if "they drained Quasimodo and put a brace on him to make him normal", they actually did that in the recent movie Victor Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe. Nice!
The wings-inside-his-hunched-back idea is stupid for this movie, though I can see it being of some use in a thriller/horror story that has nothing to do with The Hunchback of Notre Dame, maybe something anime-esque.
+KarlAndArma4ever
Platinum End God Candidate Hunchback incoming. :P
My literal reaction to the ending was "This doesn't seem like much of a- ...Oh... Oh, WHAT THE FUCK!?" Did he seriously sprout wings? Or did he die before he hit the ground and the whole angel wings thing was symbolism for his death? It's completely diverting from the original tale either way. If I was Victor Hugo, I'd be turning in my grave.
I like him sprouting wings! That can actually break his fall so he doesn’t fall to the ground and die. I love Quasimodo’s secret! It fits his character perfectly! I wonder what secret Mulan must be keeping?
...Oh yeah, and STILL better than Disney's Hunchback 2
+BlackBeWhite2k7
I know right? That is fucking pitiful. I'd say the same about the now legendary Good Times version of Beauty and the Beast. Pretty bad, but nowhere near as bad as Belle's Magical World, the second Disney DTV sequel to the 1991 masterpiece. Why is the worst movies based somewhat on a popular fairytale not the rip offs, but the DTV sequels made by the same bloody company!!!
@@LadyTylerBioRodriguez The cheapquels were made by Disney's tv animation studio. That's why the budgets are nonexistent for near all of them. It doesn't excuse the writing but it explains why they're so cheap.
oh dear god in heaven that ending..
I'm guessing the reason Quasi could heal and sprouted wings was a way to say he's a saint. An angel on earth despite his deformed body. Wont lie, it looks weird when it happens and the idea of his hunchback actually being wings that hadnt emerged is.. actually disturbing ó.0
