The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Nostalgia Critic

This episode brought to you by stamps.com Why go to the store to buy stamps when you can print them at home for your convenience? So hello, I'm the mystery guy, remember I like the damn movie, let's go watch something else now. Even if I like a movie, that doesn't mean there isn't a lot to talk about. I would say there is even more to talk about. In fact, The Hunchback of Notre Dame was, I'm just going to say it was a daring movie on Disney's part. It is not a fairy tale with the darker elements removed.

This was a historical novel about the abuse of power in the church. Even hearing the Disney title, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, took a lot of people a while to get used to. It's like listening to Disney. Hill House is very strange even though the movie unsurprisingly made changes such as focusing more on an ugly duckling angle rather than religious corruption, it wasn't the massive success that Disney was used to I think. there are a few reasons why it came after a profitable but still disappointing predecessor if it had been released after the lion king it probably would have done better the other one is so dark and adult compared to other disney stuff i don't know what era would have been a big hit in the past. the religious angle would have been too controversial and would have turned people off and in the present the fact that it is hand drawn would have turned people off, but maybe that's why I like it so much, it's not a film that will easily find a home, but I and many of us like it.

I have created one for her over the years. Fans have grown for the film who praised all the elements. The general public just couldn't get into the darker tone. Gothic music. Unconventional themes that Disney rarely touched on, but that being said, it's still Disney. There's a lot of pandering that just doesn't fit, but maybe it also has an awkward charm to it, so sit back and enjoy this not perfect, but still one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. This is the Hunchback of Notre Dame that opens the movie. Stunning music and visuals as we are introduced to the people of Notre Dame, specifically clopping the film's ever-present narrator during the first and last minutes.

Hey, at least this one stay until the end. Listen, they are beautiful, although not all of them sound. They don't know you themselves, you silly boy, ah, when a masked man talked to children with puppets in the street no, it was creepy back then also tells the story of the gypsies who tried to sneak under

notre

dame

but were caught by claude frollo played by Tony J, who is a judge this time, not an archdeacon. You hear it's the sound of millions of confused girls who swear they don't have problems with their fathers. Yes, for some reason Frello has become a surprising sex symbol over the years.

I was confused at first but the more I think about it, take out the

hunchback

and this is essentially a mainstream romance novel, tell me you couldn't see it in that religious trailer before the traffic thunder, satan's alley, why yes, I'll count how many women they have to leave the room when he says something sexual about bringing this gypsy firm to the courthouse i call it that because it will be just us, one of the gypsies, who will surprise you to find out that it was actually mary kay bergman, the actress who originally played carmen's mom when she is killed and her son taken from her, maybe you have a better idea why license is so horrified, okay, whatever happens four minutes later and already this generally rated movie is about the god of the drowning baby.

I wish those Saturday morning ads included that footage, it's all you need. wait on a disney classic disney's the

hunchback

of

notre

dame

the archdeacon stops him even though this is an unholy demon i'm sending him back to hell where he belongs jesus i love this can you give some evil lessons to the current disney villains who suck? Now the archdeacon says that the eyes of Notre Dame will curse Frollo if he commits such a heinous crime, but all else he does is care for the child and raise him as his own, allowing him to live with you in your church, live here. type of love how both make the other feel guilty to take care of this child you must raise him like you what oh very good but he must live here what I don't want him don't you have a home?

Yes, but he is allergic. a ugly oh well he really must sneeze a lot when you get home he stays here years go by and the baby turns into a kind young man called quasimodo with the voice of tom hulse today will be the day are you ready to fly hey, remember when Burger King? I tried to turn that into a big line. Today will be the day you are ready to fly and it seems like everyone is jumping into action. Henry. What is there? Popcorn and we are introduced to the characters that people hate or really hate gargoyles. is the only element that everyone can agree on was a mistake while their names are funny victor hugo and laverne what was victor hugo's sister embarrassed that he didn't have a female middle name so the joke would work better what the actors voiceovers are great with jason alexander Jane Weathers and Charles Kimbrough feel incredibly shoehorned in and the writing for them never elicits laughs.

Okay, pour the wine and cut the cheese, especially coming from comedic roles that appeal to both kids and adults. This really needed a comedy facelift. Give me some slack then roll it up then give it some slack then roll it up then give it some slack that's enough hugo she's a girl not a mackerel if only alexander's lines were replaced by duckman's lines then we'd have gold sue me I'm colorful Doesn't mean I belong here making grips with crazy people every day is an agonizing ordeal like balancing a pot of boiling water on your head while people spank your legs and butt honestly teaching the alphabet by license does let the laughter be greater, an abomination b blasphemy see contrition d damnation eternal damnation well, now we know where mel gibson learned his abc he almost wants to join the festival of fools but frollo says he can't because he's ugly you're deformed i'm deformed and you are ugly and I am ugly these are crimes this is the feel good song do as I say obey it almost sings about how wonderful it would be to be accepted and although Tom Hulse's voice is shakier than Sarah Brightman's being electrocuted, she sings it with so much heart and passion that I don't think it would have worked as well if they had dubbed it.

She sings about all the difficult questions. How much value do we place on appearance? Who killed Aladdin's rug? Why doesn't Notre Dame have satellite TV? Is this the strangest prequel to Beauty and the Beast? Come on, I said there were tough questions, not good questions, Captain Phoebus enters the city played by Kevin Kline who sees a gypsy girl named Esmeralda played by Demi Moore being harassed by a guard played by Patrick The starfish will cool you down Yes, it was ironic that it wasn't a gargoyle in this phoebe goes with his horse achilles named just so they could make this joke achilles heals to the courthouse reporting for duty under judge frillo i'm sure you'll whip my men into shape explain how The gypsies are warping the minds of Paris and taking its germs, so they must be treated like a nest of insects, what are we going to do about it, sir?

He always drove me crazy. He never put that piece back correctly. Oh well, I'm sure it's the worst damage. That will be in the fall, when the festival of fools begins when Quasimodo sneaks in, as funny as this act is, the real entertainment is in the crowd, whether it's men banging women's heads while standing absolutely still or having a picture of mid 90's computer generated. seizure, they are easily the funniest things here, other than this line, look at that disgusting display, yes sir, ironically, people will remember Demi Moore as this erotic dancer than when she was actually an erotic dancer.

I will make a horrible and scary face. face as scary as a cargo swing, hey, that doesn't even make sense, who's afraid of a gargoyle waiting?, he said that because it rhymes with ning, he's the bell ringer of notre dame, he almost got crowned the king of the fools, since he technically has the ugliest face there. and the crowd loves it, yeah I think some of them may have thrown quaaludes before they showed up. I applaud him with extreme indifference, but the crowd turns against him quite sporadically. I get the idea that they're supposed to be drunk, but they're trying to blend in. the celebration of the king of fools where he is whipped, both in the book and they are two very opposite scenes together, each member of the crowd brought a rope in case this strange moment broke out, it is as if in exchange for the king everyone bowed and then you suddenly say, "Hey, they're short, I'm sorry, this wasn't supposed to happen." Esmeralda is the only one who shows kindness to almost, although it's funny that she still calls him a creature as soon as she frees this poor creature.

I am not a creature, I am a little thing that angers the license that wanted to teach you almost a lesson for leaving you, talk about justice, but you are cruel to those who need your help the most, silence justice again, you mean that only us, the license, orders her arrested and Did I say comedy wasn't this movie's strong point? Yes, I know the crotch shots. The pinball thing. Don't forget the bowling sound effect. Can we move on to the depressing? Oh yeah, this is the good thing. Yes, it makes me feel terrible. It turns blue and gray. as I watch someone suffer oh the sadness the overbearing sadness kids I know you don't understand but when you grow up and become petty like me this is where the real entertainment is and those of you who grew up happy and full of life , we'll get you, esmerella walks into notre dame and meets phoebus, sneaky son, look at it, you're in a church and the Disney movie, can we let all this lie saying that the b word is mickey, no, no, then they have a Monkey Island-style insult battle, one of them funny fights almost as well as a funny guy was going to say the same thing about you and one so bad it might be my favorite joke in the entire movie that I didn't know you had a boy, oh my god, I can't even look at you, joke, I can't even look at you, permission sees them and realizes that she claims sanctuary, but that doesn't stop him from seeking revenge.

Gypsies don't do well inside stone walls. you know what you're imagining clouding the mind with ungodly thoughts okay how has that face not become a meme yet? that's an expression that says dude, I'm supposed to be two years older than Snow White and she's 14. Disney set foot outside. and your guards around each door while Esmeralda talks to the archdeacon letting the crowd torture that poor boy. I thought if one person could take it on, what do they have against people who are different? I mean, when I met him, I said I had. a big mask and then I jumped back in fear when I saw it was his face.

I would expect people to treat me the same way she sings a powerful song about God helping the marginalized once again using the beauty of the cathedral and she finds herself almost once again. a friend with yes, maybe today wasn't a total loss after all a vision of beauty, the one in the dress isn't bad either, okay, so the filmmakers said they wanted to leave it open if the gargoyles were really alive or in imagination of almost me. I guess you could believe that the guards aren't really being stopped by them in the climax and that's just part of their wishful thinking, but here's my question, what happens to goat love every second that one of them flirts with this animal?

And if that's supposed to be like that? Being in Quasimodo's mind I have someone I think you should talk to Did you do all these things yourself? casi and esmerelda hit it off and he explains his connection to frillo how could such a cruel man have raised someone like you cruel oh no he saved me? in life, he said my mother was going to kill me with kindness, whatever that means, he almost helps her escape and he is full of joy singing the one from before the hellfire, I always skip it and so do you , yes, it's time for everyone's favorite part of the movie, possibly Disney's best. villain song, in fact, it's so good that Disney won't even make another villain song until 13 years later, how crazy is that 13 years without another animated villain song, although I heard they were going to make more songs for modern villains from Disney and it's pretty fun. they all have the same title surprise, I was the villain and the worst part of the movie, this song has it all, it's big, it's disturbing, it's gothic, it's intense, it's visually stunning, it almost gave the movie a rating of page for being too sexually provocative, they avoided it by outlining the emerald clothes more since she was practically naked in the original let's see that with a gaping frollo make one of the candies in the cups from the hunchback movie I can't even counthow many covers of the song are there on youtube it's almost like this The movie that already gained followers increased even more followers just with this song, it kicks ass just as much now as when it first came out.

It remains one of the greatest musical moments in Disney history. All I have to say is my account of how. many women left the room exploded when I simply mentioned this song why didn't you burn down a city and risk going to hell for me? Hello, this is the universe.

I had a little problem with the chimney. I burned my soul, among other things. License does a search throughout the city to find Esmerelda, even burning down a house with a family inside that gave shelter to the gypsies phoebus saves them and esmerelda saves phoebus despite being injured while escaping you know that windmill with That family inside is the first place we saw it burn and Phoebus is no longer the captain of the guards. Should we assume that there were people in all those buildings that he burned later? Hmm, I didn't think of that one, did I?

No, he's not going to fry that g. That's there to stay, don't worry, Disney Plus will just post another disclaimer. too scary kids, look, there are the gargoyles, two amazing parents, look, there are the gargoyles, but now don't say anything that will upset Quasimodo. What drives me crazy about this scene where they don't want you to almost know that things have gotten worse, is that it almost could. have worked if they managed the time better, this is how the scene should play, it's not easy, that's just stone face, any sign of it, oh, it's a lost cause, not bad, it might raise a laugh now, like this It's how any sign of it really develops. oh it's a lost cause it just took too long it also doesn't help that the moral of the story is that appearances don't matter but they constantly make fun of each other for how they record I thought I was the cute one no you're the one Stupid fat man with a big mouth, you're also screwing too much, almost eat a salad and stop being so ugly.

I'm terrible at this. Did anyone say thank God they don't have a song? Yes, the gargoyles have a musical number in this. and you're held hostage until it's over, aside from this cute joke, this song could be cut and you wouldn't miss a thing. This was one of the last films Jane Weather worked on and man, how do you think she must have found this experience? terrible jokes, but getting a big paycheck for it was hell on earth, I loved it, luckily it's a short song and Esmeralda arrives with Phoebus, allowing her to almost discover that she's in love with him, should we wait until almost Let's not leave stitches?

Sex is the best kind of sex, I'm sure it's fine, although yes, it's fine, but Frillo arrives and almost has to hide a past, our Phoebus, something that worries you, Quasimodo, I know it exists, he reveals that She knows that he almost helped Esmeralda escape and now she is scared of him. Paris is burning because of you, in hindsight I could have asked before killing hundreds of people, but I don't think that when I'm horny, an angry permit says he knows where her hideout is, so Phoebus goes to save her while she almost stays behind what I am.

I'm supposed to go out and rescue the girl from the jaws of death and the whole town will rejoice like she's some kind of hero. I mean, it's exactly what the script says. He almost decides to go with Phoebus and they stumble. in the court of miracles where they almost hang you are a double-headed spy we are just fighting the stereotype that we are murderous thieves now stand still while we kill you in our den of stolen goods esmerelda saves you although just in time be captured again by frollo dear quasimodo i always knew that one day you would be useful to me i always assumed that i would stuff you and put you outside to scare the lawyers but this is much better that they prepare to burn esmerelda as frollo forces her one last offer choose me for the fire what what's wrong with him she's crazy he's beautiful he's almost chained and the gargoyles are trying to convince him to break free you can't let frollo win he already has these chains they're not what's holding you back quasimodo leave me alone i mean we could always sing again.

He almost finds the will to break free and with some of the best animation and music in the film, he enters and takes Esmeralda back to the cathedral. Well, if I know the book, we have a few days. before the people break in or we're doing the super cut, that's cool, the guards try to break in and we have a comedic climax because that's exactly what Disney did for a while and Quasimodo turns them down, this might be the only time they don't I did it. Put that sound effect on Give Credit Finally we get a funny scene of the gargoyles flying I have to laugh It's a good joke He almost poured molten lava on the crowd forcing the soldiers to back away He looked worse He almost tried to wake Esmeralda but it seemed like she didn't survive the burning fire, yeah okay, it's pretty obvious that even a Disney movie as dark as this isn't going to kill her after all that, but I don't think it matters because it leads to some really cool scenes. crying over losing his only friend, furlough sneaks away and has an almost twisted conversation, even the gargoyles have a touching moment, oh no, oh maybe we should sing for him. by the way let's set the record straight everyone thinks this is pumbaa and that's not really the reason i know this is because pumbaa is actually dead and was taken away in an earlier scene.

Anything else I can do to darken this movie, I'm sure. they hanged woody there somewhere during his leave and they almost found him hanging from the cathedral he almost fainted out of nowhere because it's dramatically convenient and frollo lights up like a pumpkin no seriously his eyes and mouth light up i don't have idea why and I don't care are awesome jokes about you. Scientology was the true religion. Be careful with Xenu. Here we come. He is almost saved by Phoebus and as payment he is demoted to the friend zone. He almost goes out into the world and is immediately accepted by people. until they get drunk and bang him again, but I think there's a grace period if we'd actually made fun of how he looks, I mean, we're giving off a sort of sea monkey look here, we look like people who end our summers with a Wicker Man, the crowd applauds, everyone lives happily ever after and that's certainly not how the book ends, but who cares how amazing this movie is?

There are clearly issues compared to the original and even if you don't compare it, the tone can be jarring. some of the most uncomfortable moments, but I'm sorry, it in no way comes to overshadow the good things, it's dark, it's epic, it has memorable characters, a phenomenal villain, it's a visual marvel, even all these years later, the music is beautiful and, although it never became a commercial success, it has a fan base that loves it. I will say that if you want a version that is even darker and more adult, you should probably watch the Disney musical.

It is a perfect combination of both the book and the movie. and goes to even darker places that I honestly didn't think Disney had the guts to go to, but even with that, this is still one of Disney's riskiest films and it's nice to know that not only was it worth it, but also to his fans. the base grows day by day check it out if you haven't and even if you have rewatched it there is always something to appreciate with every viewing and it will be interesting to see what they do with a live action remake I mean Christ has It has to be better this is not a transition forward I had a little problem with the chimney doug walker here doing the charity cry once again we are doing one uh linked to the people who help with uh covet 19 and this week we are doing uh Matthew 25 ministries and what they do is... they are an international humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization that helps the poorest of the poor locally, nationally and internationally.

To date they have distributed over 1,500,000 pounds of supplies, including masks, gloves, hand sanitizer. disinfectant wipes, paper products, batteries, diapers and other types of personal protective equipment, personal care products and cleaning supplies for over 750 of their members, man, that's great, I mean, it's a lot and, you know , if you look for them, you will see that they are not. I'm just talking about great reviews from a charity navigator, uh, but they do a really good job and they work around the clock to try to get protective gear and I mean everything that you just heard for the people that really need it, so that you can do it one more time.

Check them out, see if you can volunteer, of course donate, or if not just spread the word, just see the good things they do and share a link, tell a friend to do what you can because, again There are so many good people doing so many things. good things, you know, in really tough times like this, so show them all the support you can. Thank you very much and I'll see you later, take care.
