  • Wow. Talk a bout a dark children's movie. Well "dark" by 90's Disney standards. The Hunchback of Notre Dame was probably one of my favorites of the Disney Renaissance when I was a child.
    Does it still hold up over 20 years later?
    Or will it take the Pocahontas route in my memory?

      Definitely. The character development of frollo getting darker and darker over the movie was amazing. Definitely the Disney villain that I hate the most. I mean I love how well they did but I usually don’t hate animated Disney villains that much, but in this I really hate frollo. So amazing job at making him so villainous and evil.

    Actually, now that you mention it, I would have preferred that they ditched the gargoyles and expanded the priest's role instead. At the very least drastically reduce the gargoyles role and make it abundantly clear that quasimodo is imagining them because he's lonely.

    • @saklee1777
      @saklee1777 Рік тому +6

      I definitely agree with that. But they have to make the story at least a little light hearted and funny since it’s so dark

      I just realized from a different comment they're REAL though. Notre Dame revealed the gargoyles to Quasimodo because he was pure and worthy. Gargoyles are know to stave and fight off evil spirits and entities. That's why the gargoyle comes to life in front of Frolo at the end, she's showing him just how much he f'ed up. So actually, I really love the inclusion of the gargoyles, it gives Notre Dame herself depth and life.

  • @williamharmon4039
    @williamharmon4039 2 роки тому +48

    A nice touch during the song Hellfire is that those robed figures are chanting a Latin phrase that translates to "My fault. My most grievous fault."
    It's part of the mass, called "Confiteor" or "I confess", which the whole point of is to confess to your sins as a flawed human being and pray for mercy and guidance.
    It highlights how Frollo's delusion of righteousness and virtue flies completely contrary to the actual points and teachings he tries to hide behind that he continues to defend and deny in the face of those own teachings and lessons being turned against him and it being shouted in his face that he is the one in the wrong.
    Even his first lines in the song show this off.
    "Of my virtue I am justly proud" "I'm so much better than the common crowd"
    That is the textbook definition of pride and vanity as a sin since virtue is the bare minimum a person should do and is not a monumental thing to take such pride and glory in, and he fully displays that vanity while trying to call himself virtuous and ask for salvation without admitting it's all his own fault he's on this path or considering changing his ways to save himself even when he knows what he's doing will send him on the path to damnation.

    4:15 in the original book, they are pretty much just Quasimodo’s imaginary friends. In this movie, u see the gargoyles in fight scenes and they actually hit ppl so I guess they’re real and alive in the movie.

    I like to think that Quasimodo passed out because he was physically and mentally exhausted at that point.
    He rescued Esmeralda, battles Frollo's guards, thought Esmeralda had died, then after speaking out against Frollo, he learned that the man who brought him up and told him his whole life the world was evil was the one who murdered his birth mother. This revelation, after everything that happened, was just too much for him and it burned him out in the most vital moment

    Sir, can you please stop with the nightmare fuel? Frollo is scary enough without it.
    Also, that’s not lava he’s pouring; it’s most likely molten copper used to fix broken bells.
    Also ALSO, really happy that when Norte Dame caught fire that none of the glass windows were destroyed. Structure can be rebuilt; those windows are priceless and cannot be redone to the same craftsmanship as when first made.
    Great movie and great reaction.

      in the disney film, quasi is supposed to be about 18-19, she's believed to be early twenties. Obviously in the books she was much younger, at 16. Frollo I would assume is in his 60s? maybe

    Classic old Disney villain death, his own evils are his undoing
    for Gaston it was his ego and pride, for Ursula it was her arrogance, for Frollo it was his obsession and purity, scar’s udnerhandedand double dealing nature etc.
    all there wicked traits ends up leading them to destroy themselves
    Scar threw the Hyenas under the bus to save himself, and they turned on him as he did them
    Gaston falls off the tower after stabbing beast (instead of fleeing when he could)
    Ursula is so focused on killing Ariel that she ignores Eric until he rams the ship into her
    and Frollo's obsession with Esmerelda and being purified in gods eyes, that he tries to destroy esmeralda and Quasimodo leading to him falling into his own literal hell
    Also that’s not lava, its liquid copper which they would have used to make and cast the bells or repairs in the bell tower

Or maybe I’m too familiar with this story.
