RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

theantifox It was a critically acclaimed film released in June of '96. The animation was splendid, the music was splendid, even the voice cast (Tom Hulce, Demi Moore, Kevin Kline and Jason Alexander) was splendid. And after I watched that one, I asked myself, is this as good as traditional animation gets? Well, at least I thought that about the FIRST Hunchback. This one has to be the worst excuse of family entertainment. All this "movie" really is, is the first movie without even a fraction of a FRACTION of a good note of music, visual dazzle, wit or charm. The only good thing they did about this movie was bring back the old voices, who I bet were only there for the money, as well as the two added voice actors, Haley Joel Osment and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The animation looked like something out of Saturday Morning cartoons, the songs were gratingly loud and was sorely lacking the dark tone of the original film. Even Gigli is better than this. Seriously.

lisafordeay OK I admit it I recorded this on VHS 7 years ago and quite frankly I thought it was a nice sweet film. The original voice cast is back and the animation isn't spectacular. Quasimodo( voiced by Tom Hulce)hasn't found true love for himself and so when the circus arrives in Paris he falls in love with a girl named Madeline(voiced by Ghost Whisperer's Jennifer Love Hewitt)who is working for a villain named Saduch who is so vain I felt like he was a cloned version of Gaston.The songs were nice and the plot is like Beauty & the Beast ugly guy falls for a pretty girl who likes him for what he is(e.g don't judge a book by its cover).I am going to give this film a 7.5/10.Cute

awsum_ginger The first HOND is my favorite Disney film of all time, and definitely ranks in my top five films favs EVER. This film, however, is just a joke to try and entertain children with a watered-down, lighthearted comedy movie that fails to be original or entertaining. The animation is crap, the plot line is simple enough to bore you to death, and the villain is not even a fraction of the greatness Frollo was. All the villain is after is a stupid bell, how boring is that? The characters aren't even that likable, even Esmeralda, Phoebus, and Quasi don't share the same spark of personality they had in the first film. They're basically cardboard cutout characters. The songs are annoying and guess what? The may have killed off Frollo, one of the deepest villains in Disney history, but at least they still have the cute gargoyle sidekicks! (shoot me now.) Don't bother seeing this film, just don't. It is absolutely the worst Disney sequel I have ever seen in my entire life.

Articulated_Jaw Leave it to Disney to remind us how stupendously well-animated their theatrical films have been by creating sub-par direct-to-video silliness such as this. The difference in animation quality, color (and color consistency), depth, backgrounds...everything is far too obviously dumbed down to low budget and possibly low talent levels.Characterization and tone of story have also taken their own serious hits, and largely being inconsistent with the 1996 feature film. Phoebus has been turned into a goof-ball buffoon as opposed to the smart-aleck but intelligent and competent soldier he was. And Esmeralda has lost her spark both in character and visually, morphing in scenes through various shades of ash (and often too dark).There is one relative high-point with Jennifer Love Hewitt as Madellaine. She sounded honestly excited to be doing the part, and the character itself had an every-girl cuteness to her.Overall, worthy only of a cheap rent (not Blockbuster, more like $2 at the local supermarket) for fans of the 1996 classic who must satiate their curiosity and see how this new character Madellaine works out.Then forget it and return to the true majesty of The Hunchback of Notre Dame I.
