Didn't you already do a Commentary on the film?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 he did
@@paulienuti8031 But don't you think he suffered enough (and possibly including ourselves)?
CHICKEN RUN!!!
Could you do a video on the history of DirecTV video sequels. Because I'm curious when did they start? And why were they created?
Frollo was actually lucky he died in the first one because he didn’t have to appear in this stupid sequel 😂
True 😂
That’s so true lol
He probably would've had a heart attack if he saw what this sequel did to his legacy, so... yeah. It's a good thing he's already dead 😊
True
True
Somewhere in the depths of Hell, Frollo was forced to watch this movie Clockwork Orange-style as punishment for his crimes.
I can see that
@@georgerobertson7010 And Hades (the Hercules version) is making him watch it
@@dong.corleone Nice recess: school’s out reference!
@@georgerobertson7010 I can’t un-see that now, and I honestly love the image too much to even want to.
Frollo: STOP IT!!!!! STOP IT PLEASE I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Disney: "Everybody gets laid, except for the sides characters."
Hunchback: "Am I a joke to you?"
hahahahahaha
LMAO xD
Aha you got me there
When was that? 15 YEARS AGO??
did you get a girlfriend?
Quasi: yes
and what did it cost?
Quasi: animation and plot
When you realize that the animation company who did Hunchback 2 also did Batman the animated series and Animaniacs O.O
WHAT?!
No......freaking......WAY!
Clearly, I can see why they put more effort into those shows instead of this movie
Yes Tokyo Movie Shinsa AKA TMS
Also Akira
I would personally have Quasi's trauma as the "villain" for the sequel. Even after Frollo's gone, Quasi can still hear his voice when sinister-looking gargoyles look down on him and remind him of his pain. Perhaps Madellaine can be the 'cure' for Quasi's mentality.
So like Simba in 2 ?
Yes!!! Having Quasimodo (along with Esmeralda and Phoebus) dealing with trauma from Frollo and then Quasi meeting Madellaine and bringing her into their little found family and thus finding a way to cope with everything would’ve made a much better plot line than “Oh yea, we need to give Quasi a girlfriend”
@@nicholassims9837 Completely forgot about that, but yes.
@@PhoenixJohnson29 I would personally keep it as only Quasi having this affect, since he's the one who was raised by Frollo. Esmeralda and Phoebus can still have their son, and even the son can be a way to keep Quasi's mind off of Frollo. But perhaps Quasi would say that he wants somebody new for himself to talk to, thus Madellaine comes into the picture.
A psychological villain? I like your thinking, dude! 👍🏻
Fun fact: This movie was supposed to be released in 1997 a year after the original movie which is why the animation looks so dated compared to the other DTV Disney movies out from 2002. Then, it was delayed for whatever reason and was push to 2000, then a trailer said "2001" only to FINALLY get released in 2002. It's never a good sign when your a movie is delayed THIS long. I geuss Disney was trying to keep this movie hidden. And for good reason.
Sometimes a delayed movie can be good though. Look at Minions the rise of Gru.
@@friepaign3828 you don't know that when the movie isn't out yet or if they took advantage of the extra time
@@valenzuelasstudios1838 yeah but that one has a potential given it got a long delay which causes the developers to work longer when they were able to. I think it will at least be as good as the first 3 despicable me movies or better. But let’s wait and see.
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 think I rememeber watching The Jungle Book 2 on TV before and it probably didn't seem that bad!
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 It was okay at best. It had a lot of good moments but was ultimately pretty redundant.
@@vetarlittorf1807 Really?
@@thefantasticretroreviewer3941 Yeah, Jungle Book 2 was ok, although it tends to feel like a rehash of the first movie.
@@cintronproductions9430 If you say so
Perhaps Frollo should’ve hid this movie from the public, instead of hiding Quasi over the 20 year span. (Difficult to believe the sequel is almost 20 years old.)
"The sequel is an unholy demon. I shall send it back to HELL where it belongs."
What really pisses me off is that Disney refuses to let this movie die. It's bundled with the first movie in pretty much every DVD release.
Wow. I didn't even know that.
@@michaeltan1208 irritating but true.
@@thomashuffman3237 I guess this explains why Disney's direct-to-DVD sequels is just the worst, right?
@@michaeltan1208 most of them, yes. There are very few exceptions, such as Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and the lion King sequels.
@@thomashuffman3237 not just DVD releases, even on Blu-ray, Disney pairs the two Hunchback movies together for no reason
I know that sounds weird but this "preety" reflection of Quasimodo looks much more scary to me than his normal apperance. :D
Ikt
I always thought that, even as a kid
Throw him in the well
I know, that "handsome Quasi" design was awful and terrible. Yucks

Get out of my mind or you will burnn🎵
What I hate the most with this movie is that it tries to portray Phoebus as a prejudiced, horrible person, when he was in fact correct about the circus. We also can't forget about Esmeralda. She saved Phoebus, a grown man in his very early 30s, from drowning and yet she can't save her OWN SON who is just a little boy?
They did my girl Esmeralda so fucking dirty in this movie. I mean at least Phoebus got to do *something* even if it was a stupid side plot.
Well, to be fair, it is easier to save a man from drowning than saving a hostage.
Probably because in Victor Hugo's book he isn't a very good person, and the writers thought that being faithful to the book would somehow save the movie despite all the other flaws in it
@@nunkatsu And look what that got them 🙄
Not to mention the circus people (who are literally just that) and the gypsies (an ethnic group) are a horrible false equivalence
I’m still in shock that they ruined not only one of my top 5 Disney movies, nor one of the movies that inspired me with my musical, but they turned one of the darkest Disney movies into a baby movie
I guess we could all thank that we didn't watch this when we're kids, right?
@@michaeltan1208 I wasn’t even born yet when this got made. Also, I personally find this movie to be the worst Disney Direct-to-DVD movies. This movie is making Belle’s Magical World look like Rescuers Down Under
@@brandonmclendon5368 I wasn't even born yet when this movie was made, too.
I feel like this film is a cheap excuse to give Quasimodo a girlfriend. Yeah in the first film, he didn’t get the girl in the end. But at the same time, what he really needs deep down, is just being socially accepted, that what Quasimodo needs, not so much for a girlfriend. Part of me wonders if the whole world was demanding to give him a girlfriend and Disney’s like; “Ugh; Fine, here!”
Edit: CHICKEN RUN IS NEXT! A much better film than this dookie sequel
Even though I never seen it, you have a fair point.
Honestly, I think him having a girlfriend is insulting to the character. Remember in the original movie how he had a harmless crush on Esmeralda and was convinced that their relationship might grow into genuine romantic love one day but then got his heart broken when he saw she loves another man but nevertheless respects her life's choices and comes to accept that platonic friendship is just as valuable? That's character growth AND the movie teaches children that we don't always get what we want and must learn to live with that. I also like how it shows that romantic love is far from being the only road to happiness. In the end, Quasimodo is happy because he's finally free from Frollo and can finally walk on the streets of Paris without people looking at his face in disgust and horror.
The sequel undermines all that.
Also those people should be grateful that Quasimodo even makes it out alive at the end of the first film cause that ain't how it went down in Victor Hugo's book!
Yeah, this movie feels like a bad fanfic made by someone who was salty that he didn't end up with Esmeralda.
@@cintronproductions9430 And then a troller decided to take it further by actually animating it and bringing in the original cast to reprise their roles and notable celebrities such as Jennifer Love Hewitt and Michael McKean to voice the OC characters.
♫Hellfire! Dark fire!

That was pretty good.
👏👏👏
They didn't even bother to make Zephyr mixed race.
And they also made Esmeralda lighter
@@Andreaa_-_lighter? Seriously bro.
???@@faith4657
Let's face it. This only exists just to give Quasi a girlfriend since Esmerelda didn't fall in love with him in the original even though Quasi's goal wasn't to fall in love. It was to be accepted among the public for who he is as a person, and in the end, he got exactly what he wanted. It shows that not everyone needs to fall in love in order to achieve happiness, that sometimes, just simply being accepted for who you are is totally fine. I just hate how this movie completely shits all over that in favor of delivering such a bland, cheesy, and painfully predictable romance flick. It completely misses the point of what made its predecessor such an underrated masterpiece, and that's why it rightfully earns its title as one of the absolute worst direct-to-DVD Disney sequels, down there with stuff like Belle's Magical World, Atlantis: Milo's Return, Mulan II, and more. For a movie all about love, I absolutely hate its existence just as much if not more than the movie itself. I remember wanting to watch this movie back when I was a kid after seeing the preview for it, but I never did. However, now that I'm an adult and I have seen it, I just find myself asking, "Why was I so interested in watching this crap?"
On the bright side though, Chicken Run is up next on the menu for AniMat's Classic Reviews, so that'll be something to look forward to. By the way, is it bad for me to say that this movie makes me crave chicken pot pies?
While this movie is not gmthat grrat it does not "shit on" the themes of the first. While the first movie is about Quasimodo being romatically rejected but still socially accepted, what exactly is WRONG with sequel being different? In case you didn't know people want to be loved romantically, even ugly people (shocking, right?). So in the first film he earns social acceptance, and in the sequel he earns romance. Tell me what exactly is WRONG with that? Is it an unoriginal outcome? Are you that hell bent on a fictional character being single for the rest of his fictional life because he got rejected once? Because that would be pretty fucking stuoid of you to think. There is literally nothing critically wrong with the way they did it, you are making a big deal out of nothing and need to go touch grass
Dude, we get it, but let's forget that in accordance with social acceptance, he also wanted human connections. You don't even know the true reason it was made so me and you so far are blowing hot air.
That whole thing- that was because people complained that Quasi didn't "get the girl." Even though that wasn't the point. And I know they're going to do that for the remake and say it's an improvement.
I don’t think that they will do it for the remake. If anything, I see them going further and possibly even going with the Hugo ending.
So it wasnt the point of the first film but it was the point of the sequel. There is nothing wrong for a sequel to have a different purpose
You guys need to stop saying the same thing. The motives for the first and second are different despite quality.
Finally, I get to see my man tear apart the worst Disney sequel of all time. One that disgraces one of my all-time favorite Disney movies! Show them no mercy AniMat!
Uh ok? I have never seen it and I don’t think I Ever will😒😑
@@RPGFlare64 Yes it will
And I’m so happy that you’re going to review check and run I keep asking you’re requesting and now it’s finally happening
@@abigaildangelo6280 don’t you mean “Chicken Run”?
@@kingmagnus4009 I won’t
Yes! The next review is gonna be “Chicken Run”! More than a year late to release it for The film’s 20th anniversary, but like I said during his “The Emperor’s New Groove” review, better late than never.
Well I did tried to request it sooner, but it's how it was scheduled that cause that delay.
@@alanoliva2020 oh well, you gave it your best shot. At least we’ll finally be getting it next month. Like I said, “better late than never”
I hope someday AniMat would review the original Shrek movies. Shrek 1 and 2 I believe the first one will get the seal of approval but Shrek 2 will also get the seal with a 10/10.
Same here.
@@friepaign3828 if you like, I might ask him next time. I actually been thinking about it since it's on my list
If there’s one thing I didn’t like about this Disney direct-to-video sequel it’s the lack of shading and lighting on the characters. Certain Disney sequels like Bambi 2 and The Lion King 2 for example, had their characters fleshed out with the use of lights and shadows on them.
Unlike the first film, the characters in this Disney sequel just had flat colors which made them look bland and unfinished. Pretty much why I don’t revisit this film very often.
Agree. This isn't even Disney television animation quality animation either; looks like something churned out by some cheap direct-to-video mockbuster company like Golden Films.
This movie couldn’t even get the colors to be consistent on the characters from scene to scene. What makes you think they were gonna shade anything? Lol
This is the same problem with Return of Jafar, the last half that is. Both have animation done by Japanese studios. With that said though, you're trying to replicate the first film on cels with a fraction of the budget. Good luck with that
The songs in the first movie are beautiful, sad and breath taking. The songs in this film are boring and forgettable.
The only good songs from a Disney sequel are from The Lion King 2 and Aladdin 3.
And 101 Dalmatians 2
@@vetarlittorf1807 Jafar did get a good villains song in The Return of Jafar. It just sucks that when he finally gets his own villain song and not a twisted reprise of a previous song it’s in a direct-to-video sequel; considering Jafar is among Disney’s iconic villains and best villains from the Renaissance Era next to Ursula, Gaston, Scar, Frollo and Hades.
Cinderella 3 has good songs and Mulan ll has one good song too.
Idk about you but the songs were pretty nice
15:13 I got that joke because Hayley Joel Osmond is the voice of Sora in the Kingdom Hearts games.
Also Sora from the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise is a better character performance to Haley Joel Osment's filmography including his other films like A.I Artificial Intelligence and The Sixth Sense, thet there where much better movies received by critics and audiences than this terrible sequel.
Hard to believe that Haley Joel Osment, who played Zephyr, grew up to play a much better character called Sora...
Can’t believe Disney decided to Hunchbackstab us.
They Hunchbackpeddaled on the quality just to make a quick hunchbuck
The quality sure when Hunchbackwards
In my opinion, one of the best things in the original was Frollo. What made Frollo unique from other Disney villains was that he was not only the antagonist of the movie but also the protagonist. This, in my opinion, is one of the reasons as to why the Hunchback of Norte Dame should not have a sequel. You can’t do a Hunchback of Norte Dame story without Frollo. It’s like trying to do a Jurassic Park movie without the T-Rex or a Shrek movie without Shrek or a phase 1-3 Avengers movie without Iron Man or a Han Solo movie without Chewbacca or a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man or an X-Men movie without Wolverine (oh wait that happened).
Handsome Quasi actually makes Normal Quasi look a lot more appealing

Archdeacon: Okay.
Wait, you are not going to stop me?
Archdeacon: That movie is s**t and it ruins what made the original a masterpiece.
Exactly.
😂😂😂😂
The comic relief gargoyles were actually kind of interesting in the first movie. Their personalities are of course just intended to make the kids laugh, but they might be a coping device for him because of his loneliness. The only ones who see them move are Claude from the original movie (and even then he only sees a completely different Gargoyle moving as he falls into Hell... or at least into bronze lava) after ironically assuring Quasi that he has no friends other than him. The other is Esme's goat and she only sees them move for a single moment which surprises her. That psychological ambiguity was retconned here too.
Yeah no. They are real since they cause real damage during the attack of notre dame
I agree.
Djalo is a male in these movies.
Next time on Animat’s Classic Reviews, we’re heading for Tweedy’s Farm for a film that will be miles better than this sequel, maybe even Seal-Of-Approval Worthy.
I never heard of it!
It's Chicken Run.
Hey you guessed it!
Now that movie is a legendary masterpiece, unlike this one.
It's not out yet calm down
What's sad is that Madellaine's voice actress, Jennifer Love Hewitt, said in a preview for this film that she thought this would be a fantastic movie, something people would want to have in their house to watch over and over again, and a really sweet story. It sounded like she had a lot of faith in this movie. It really is tragic this movie ended up failing as much as it did. I really do feel sorry for her.
Tell me about it, I re-watched teaser trailer of the film for the third time, three weeks ago and I was expecting the film was gonna be fantastic like Jennifer said, sadly it wasn't. But it wasn't her fault. It was the filmmakers and Bradley Raymond's direction.
Yea, poor Jennifer had no clue what she was getting into. Voice actors rarely see the animation and scenes outside of ones where they have lines and a general synopsis so it makes sense why she had so much faith in the movie during the interviews.
I remember that from the trailers as a kid! Dang, they knew how to edit those things to make it look good..
I don’t think she said that out of her honest opinion, I think she said it more for $$$.
@@arbytv5139 We don't know that for sure.
Therapist: Handsome Quasimodo is not real, he can't hurt you
Handsome Quasimodo:
I actually find Quasimodo’s relationship with Zephyr and Madeline really cute and sweet but that’s the only redeeming quality of the movie to me. :/
Hellfire!
Dark Fire!
Now Hunchback II, it’s your turn!
Time to meet, your pyre!
In Hell where you will buuuuuuuurn!
I’m glad Quasi got his ending because the real version is disturbing and sad
Considering the low-budget animation this feel like more of a pilot for a television series that was never made while the Little Mermaid, Hercules and Aladdin managed to get a good number of seasons for a television series but Beauty and the Beast and Atlantis had only a compilation movie sequel but honestly Atlantis should have had a series
🎶This movie’s cruel, this movie’s wicked, it’s us alone who can shield you from this whole movie, we are your bestest critics and friends🎶

15:12 When I heard that Haley Joel Osment voiced Zephyr, I was kind of expecting a Kingdom Hearts joke, but that got a genuine chuckle out of me.
Oh my god I completely forgot Haley Joel Osment was Sora in Kingdom Hearts 😂😂😂
@@PhoenixJohnson29 He also voiced Vannitas, the evil Sora.
@@PhoenixJohnson29 He also voiced Mowgli in Jungle Book 2, and the voice he does for that is very Kingdom Hearts 1 Sora.
As eye-rollingly simple and unneeded as the Disney straight-to-video sequels were (Lion King 2/3, Bambi 2, Aladin 3, Cinderella 3 aside) I do have a nostalgia for them and I still enjoy going down memory lane with them from time to time like with the classics.
CHICKEN RUN IS UP NEXT!! Hell yeah, it has been a very long while since you last did an Aardman movie review and as I British guy like myself I am so happy.
To be fair, those A-List stars that reprised their roles and jumped in for the new characters probably didn't know the animation would be this abysmal when signing on to the film.
Maybe not. But they probably had at least SOME idea that it wouldn’t be the cinematic masterpiece that the first was
It's ironic that they made a sequel version of A Guy Like You when that song probably would've fit in perfectly in the sequel.
True, but his song about a special connection would have also fit in well.
Aw he could've done it like this "Is there some beauty that can be found on the inside of its not-so attractive exterior or should this sequel burn and taste the fires of Hell?"
The animation is competent for a Disney Afternoon show produced by TMS, but what I REALLY hate is the color palette, they made Esmeralda and the other Romani characters look ashy.
Sequel: exist
Esmeralda's personality: disappear
13:52-14:07 Even she knew this was going to be bad, so she didn’t even bother trying.
This is my favorite review of a Direct-to-Home-Media Disney sequel you’ve done thus far! Great job, AniMat! I was not disappointed after your AniMat Watches!
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS! Chicken Run will be next. Quite ironic given that the holiday season is right around the corner.
I feel like if this movie could have really hammered home the "beautiful on the inside" message better, if Quasi's love interest was "ugly". Madeline is pretty much a Disney princess and in many ways it feels like she is just a "reward" for Quasi being a good person and there's already a ton of movies out there where the "unattractive" male character winds up with a pretty girl. They could have had Madeline be a "circus freak" of some sort with no options other than working for Sarouche. There could even be a more conventionally pretty but petty character (maybe serving as Sarouche's accomplice?) that Quasi could be initially attracted to. Admittedly, it might feel like the love interest was essentially a female version of Quasi, but there would be more room for topics like attraction vs love, pretty privilege, how confusing love can be if you don't have a ton of experience when it comes to romance, etc.
Oh a deviantart artist WhiteFangKakashi made some kind of rewritting of this sequel where insted of a circus theres a freak show and maddie is a member of it. This version feels like like for more mature audience tho.
LITERALLY I watched today for a review and that's exactly what I thought. They already had the BATB for the "pretty girl ugly guy" and I don't complain about that movie, but a change would've been nice.
i see your point, could be explored i have not many problems with the movie but some things i think could have been improved.
3:15
Behold, my new favorite swear,
“Son of a fish”.
Quasimodo-What do I say?
Gargoyles-Open your mouth, something will come out.

Can we agree that most of the Disney direct to video sequels are non canon?
I think the only Disney direct-to-video sequels I accept as *canon* are The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, The Lion King 1/2, Bambi II, Cinderella III: A Twist In Time and Return to Neverland.
I'm convinced the majority of the budget went to the actors' paychecks. Its a movie made in the late 90's and early 00's that features DEMI MOORE and JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT, so of course that where the money went.
I personally think everything about this movie can work as a show and these being the first couple of episodes and continue onward because I think everything shown here can work that way and I actually like it so what I actually would wished for was this actually was a series.
I love this movie! I love how Quasimodo fell in love and the girl loved him back. I love the message in this movie that anyone can find love regardless of vain superficial ideals like what you look like, where you’re from, or what economic background you come from. And Jennifer Love Hewitt did her thang with the song to this movie! #truelove
Say sike rn or I'll break into your house.
Oh good I’m glad I’m not the only who enjoyed it
Is it wrong to say I actually do enjoy this one, seriously I rewatched it for myself and I honestly find it almost the polar opposite of what you think.
Granted yes it's elements are actually terrible, like story-wise is bad, animation definitely cheap, characters are just a shell, and of course all the songs are terrible.
But I would lie to say that i think the romance is kinda cute, animated wise is so better then Return of Jafar, and I really think Madaline and Zepher are really the best edition. Also agree to disagree I think the "fa la la fallin In love" song is actually the best song of the movie
It's the only one that has a catchy beat
(At least in the first half)
I'm in the same boat too, some of some of the songs are pretty sweets especially the one with zephyr and quasi.
I just watched Chicken Run last night!
Classic movie. Great for Thanksgiving, too!
Next Animat Classic Review: Chicken litt… I mean Run.
You mentioned Little Mermaid II as an example of a good-looking DtV sequel, but I think of a better example would be Cinderella II which was released a month before this one.
me:you are deformed
hunchback 2:i am deformed
me:and you are ugly
hunchback 2:and i am ugly
This feels like goodtimes version of hunchback all over again
Didn't matter when I was a kid lol. It took me watching the first movie again a lot later to realise just how much better literally everything was than the sequel.
Congratulations on your sponsors! It’s been a while since I’ve watched your vids! Keep up the great work!
Hunchback of Notre Dame really went from Hero to Zero there... One of the most cinematic, epic and dark animated movies ever made to a literal shitpost.
OMG! You're finally gonna review "Chicken Run" next, sweet I have been looking forward to your Ani-Mat review. I can't wait to check it out because it's one of my all time favorite stop-motion movie!
6:13 - 6:23 You could use the scene from the first Hunchback when Paris was being burnt to a crisp but place the copies of Hunchback 2 on the burning buildings or the scene where Esmeralda was being sentence to death by fire but have HBONDII in Esmeralda's place.
After learning about the fact that it missed the point of the first film by giving Quasimodo a girlfriend, all I could think of is quoting Antonio the Ant from one episode of Hermie and Friends (Flo the Lyin’ Fly) by saying this line:
“Hey! You can’t do that! Well I guess they just did...”
You do realize that the first and second quasi has different motives right?
"Regarding the animation, maybe this was intentional form them, or maybe it's just because the team behind it didn't have enough time or money to properly produce this, but they **really** were pushing the inner beauty message to the test here!" I just can't 😭😂
"To be free, or to be a pie"
I guess Chicken Run is next!
* *Me, standing alone on my island who actually kinda liked Hunchback II* *
“Hello 👋.”
I’m with you there. I unapologetically love the sequel!
Say sike now
me too bro, i mostly don't care for animation it's a fun movie about some that it's more than just his looks but what his has in his heart.
The original voice actors, from the sound of them, had just as little faith in this as everyone else. This one deserved the seal of garbage right next to Pocahontas 2.
The trouble with Direct to Video sequels is that they're ALWAYS toned down after the originals are released, from the animation to the acting. It's like the writers and the artists turned lazy and the actors turned bland.
I am slightly disappointed this didn't get 2 out of 10 at least. I guess it's for the best; it's better than Beauty and the Beast Belle's Magical World, but only slightly. I'll give em credit; at least they didn't turn it into an anthology disguising itself as a feature length film. But that does not excuse the retcon of Quasimodo's motives in the first movie, or those mediocre songs. Now I just wanna watch Anything Goes.
Bro what did they retcon he has his acceptance nothing is there for him anyway, this is just the next thing.
For the villain- all I can say is, at least they didn't pull a LM2 and bring in 'Frollo's Even-more-evil Brother'
Chicken Run is last of _Classic Reviews 2021_ 🤩
I hope he mentions *The Promised Neverland* was being rehashed
He needs to review Beauty and the Beast from 1991. That way, he’ll no longer see Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 ever again.
Honestly, the best thing about this movie is the end credit song, "I'm Gonna Love You".
Chicken Run is actually one of my favorite animated movies. :)
I'm looking forward to that review.
I could only imagine God himself saying "QUIET!!!" or "GET ON WITH IT!!!" like from Monty Python's The Quest for the Holy Grail to that terrible song number Falalala Fallin' in Love. God that song was cringey!
In the words of Diva, the end credits song may be this crap’s only saving grace.
And by the way, add this to the holy trinity of sequels that seem to have poor understanding of natural physics,
In The Little Mermaid 2, Ice sinks
In The Enchanted Christmas, Wood sinks
And Now In the Hunchback of Notre Dame 2, A giant bell bedazzled with Non-Acoustic Jewels somehow rings.
Prediction for AnimMat’s next Review Chicken Run
Story: 10/10
Animation: 9/10
Characters: 9/10
Overall: 9/10
Frollo Returns As A Ghost in Disney infinity 4.0
If only one of those fearsome gargoyles could bring this sequel to the fiery pits below. Or at least have Frollo chop it into bits.
I talked about this in a previous video, but they totally botched the sub-plot with Phoebus.
Movie's logic: "Phoebus is being judgmental because he's assuming the circus performers are thieves!"
The audience watching: "The circus performers are thieves, though? He's not being judgmental; he's correctly putting two and two together."
It would have been one thing if there had been a separate group and he falsely assumed they were the thieves instead of the actual thieves, but no, the movie went with "Let's make him the bad guy for saying he thinks the thieves are thieves!"
Bro that's a logical reasoning me and you know they are thieves but the people don't know that and they can't look into the future.
20:11 Like Brian said it best:
God. Is. Pissed!
Hewy Toonmore ranked for La La La falling in love the worst in his bad Disney song list, so I’m not surprised that Mat thinks it’s the worst in the movie.
It seems that frollo took all the quality and passion with him to hell😂
Handsome Quasimodo is my sleep paralysis demon now
I am gonna take a guess that a huge chunk of this straight to video budget was to get the entire cast of the first one back.
I think next week might be a good time for your Q&A video
Chicken Run is next!
I love and hate the fact that you put Handsome Quasi in the thumbnail. Pfft, it's ironic that trying to make Quasi handsome just makes him look worse. XD
When he finally does a Classic Review of Mulan II, I’d like to see him use Psycho Shang in the thumbnail.
Psycho Shang: “And next time... DON’T LEAVE YOUR POST!!!”
And for some reason it feels super ableist

"Mouseketeers"!!! I like the sound of it...
You should talk about The Jungle Book 2. It's just a watered down version of the original.
26:44 Pretty much this crappy sequel in a nutshell.
EDIT: Sorry I got the time league wrong at '22:44' instead of '24:44' so that's my error on the comment's side.
Yep
