Not gonna lie I actually wasn't a big fan of the book and I actually like the Disney movie better. Which is strange because I didn't like the Disney movie all that much when I was a kid, but as an adult I love it. Quasimodo and Esmeralda are much more likable and relatable in The Disney movie than they are in the book. I honestly didn't find the ending in the book that effective because Quasimodo and Esmeralda weren't likable in the book, so when they died I wasn't sad and simply did not care. I mean seriously If they aren't likeable in the book why should I feel sad if they die? You want me to be sad when Quasimodo and Esmeralda die, you're not entitled to it. You have to earn it. I also found the book to be kinda boring and all over the place. The book was also incredibly pretentious, emotionally manipulative and way too preachy for my liking. The Disney movie was very dark and it dealt with issues like Racism, Political Corruption, Religious Bigotry and Genocide but it was never preachy or pretentious. I also like Claude Frollo is a way cooler villain in the movie than he was in the book. I also found him to be much scarier as a Judge than a Priests. Let's be real Priests have no power and can't do shit. Frollo being a judge certainly makes him more a threat because he has more power authority. I also think that the idea that Disney's Frollo is "One Dimensional" or "Too Unrealistic" is total bullshit. I know movies are subjective, but did they even watch the movie. While Disney's Frollo is pure evil but that doesn't make him one dimensional. He believes what he's doing is right and views himself as the good guy to him being a narcissistic sociopath with a massive ego. 4Shame brilliantly debunks the idea of Disney's Frollo being "One Dimensional" or "Too Unrealistic": ua-cam.com/video/_UySr6nowdU/v-deo.htmlsi=1943hGAfVwmQ9whY The Disney movie had better pacing and didn't go all over the place like the book. I also like The Gargoyles and Fuck Dory in Finding Nemo. Yep I went there (When I mean by I like the Gargoyles. I'm talking about the first movie from 1996 not the abysmal direct to video sequel in 2002). I found them to be funny and charming. Especially Hugo voiced by Jason Alexander who I like it pretty much anything he's in. Do I get the hate for the Gargoyles? Yes and no. “They’re annoying, obnoxious, not funny, They’re too over the top, got on my nerves, they’re cringy, they’re not my cup of tea”. I obviously disagree but that’s perfectly understandable and I feel your pain despite disagreeing with you. That’s how I feel about Dory in Finding Nemo. But if were talking about the god awful sequel than I would agree with you. “They take away the darkness and sacrifice the dark tone” Umm…How? Whether you like them or not hey’re barely in the god damn movie and they don’t get a lot screentime only popping up once in a while. I know people like to argue the movie is “Durr this movie is tonally inconsistent” Umm…how? Did you even watch the god damn movie? Are there SOME lighthearted moments? Sure, but barely, and they don’t last long very long and only last for 5 minutes and it’s not like the Eddie Murphy’s Haunted Mansion or the highly overrated Cabin In The Woods of the highly overrated Toy Story 3 where it comes out of nowhere. Now that’s a tonally inconsistent movie for ya. Batman The Animated Series, X-Men The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Spider-Man The Animated Series, Justice League The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Gargoyles, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Corpse Bride do the exact opposite. They are darker, more adult oriented, intense, sophisticated, and only have a few lighthearted moments here and there, right? (Batman The Animated Series, X-Men The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Spider-Man The Animated Series, Justice League The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Corpse Bride are not Disney, but you get the idea) I guess they’re tonally inconsistent than. No because they only happen here and there and only last for like five to six minutes. Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame DOES THE EXACT SAME THING!!! Also anime like Naruto, Hellsing and Cowboy Beebop also similar humor to the 1996 Disney film? Are they tonally inconsistent? No. Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame does the same exact thing. So, the next time you say it’s “Durr tonally inconsistent” actually watch the damn movie next time. I know movies are subjective and if you didn’t care for the movie and it wasn’t your cup of tea than fine, and I have nothing against that. But to say this movie is tonally inconsistent? I can't meet you half way with that argument.
