He's being forced to watch all the horrible Disney sequels plus The Last Airbender. And my little pony G3. And let's not forget the worst SpongeBob episodes and repeatedly watching the toenail scene 50 times.
doesnt really work even. quasimodo is deformed and ugly. the bell has a normal shape and is beautiful. quasi is probably the most able man in the whole town,while the bell is probably the least prefered to be rung(assuming they actually get it to work,ringing it has to damage the jewelry inside,right?)
Michael Maximus How am I nitpicking? I didn't say, "The book is bad and it's all because of this one minor detail." I was just throwing that out there because it related to the OP's comment. Unless you mean the tone of the comment. I was trying to make it sound mundane, like what happened was no big deal just as a joke. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
When Frollo died, he decided to take all the quality, animation, talent, logic out of the series as a curse if Disney ever tried to create a sequel. Or Disney was extremely lazy and wanted to make a cash in.
Frollo- a dark, evil, and murderous man who threatens to burn down all of Paris in an attempt to kill all of the Gypsies. When he gets Esmeralda, he forces her to choose him or to be burned in the bonfire. After Quasimodo saved her several times, Frollo went against the church to not only kill Esmeralda, but his own "son," Quasimodo. He is one of Disney's greatest villains because of these qualities. He's one of the greatest villains, period. Sarousch- a vain, self attracted, cowardly ringmaster who's goal is to steal Quasimodo's most beautiful bell, La Fidele. He is fat and balding, but fixes himself up before performances. Despite his aging, he loves to talk about how he would kiss himself, but would then fall in love if he did so. He would be a good villain for a fifteen minute cartoon, but instead, he was thrown into one that goes on for an hour and a half. When you compare Sarousch to Frollo, Sarousch is an absolute joke. It makes you wonder how he was even CONSIDERED to replace Frollo.
+Catalina Rose But Victor Hugo should have hated the first one, because it was nothing like his story. It was a great movie in its own right, but as an adaption, it was VERY sanitized.
Phoebus's appearance in this movie was really botched. I think they wanted to have some kind of moral about how wrong petty discrimination is, but it didn't work since Phoebus was right about the carnies being thieves.
yeah,the only part that works is that one singular member was okay. the rest was pretty shit tho. its like the studio just looked as the first movie and thought:"oh,cool. phoebus was the only one in his groop to be trusted. lets do that!". what they didnt understand is that context is key. everyone working for frollo was technicly dutybound and maybe just didnt want to loose their job. there almost being no clean carnies and none of the no good-carnies turning around even slightly is just unrealistic and makes them bastards for being random thiefs while having a running profession.(they could either get a better job or fuck off)
Also it makes literally no sense because he helped and fell in love with a gypsy in the first movie. You know, an extremely discriminated against group in that universe.
Imo Disney deliberately tried making Phoebus look like an iffy character because a lot of people were really disappointed Esmerelda ended up with him instead of Quasi in the first movie, its one of the biggest complaints it got, hence why the sequel was so focused on giving Quasi his own girlfriend. The whole moral could’ve been easy to pan out if they didn’t make Phoebus look a douche all of a sudden because he compared the circus folk to the Romani. Maybe if Saruge was confirmed to be a Romani man who took advantage of their bad reputation and he justified his actions and greed for how his family and community was treated by the French or something, showing just because one Romani man was a thief and con artist doesn’t mean all of them are like that

Triggers include but likely will not be limited to class oppression, culling culture and violence against grubs, lusus abuse, complementary and analogous hate speech, pail filling, slurries and other concupiscent fluids, lifespan shaming, ableist slurs, prolix dissertation… Actually, maybe it would be easier for you to list your triggers, and I’ll do my best to avoid those topics, or navigate them more delicately, if at all possible? #TW #oppression #culling #grubviolence #lususabuse #hemophobia #pails #slurries #ableism [Karkat Vantas] ........ [Kankri] Great. It sounds like you don’t have any triggers, at least none that you know about. I’ll proceed with caution nevertheless. Just please let me know if you start feeling triggered by anything I’m saying, and we can take a brief time-out while you summon your moirail to help pacify you, assuming you have one. Not that I’m presuming you do, But I heard that you did, is that correct? If not, I apologize. I further apologize if your orientation precludes the possibility, as a pale aromantic, panquadrant demiromantic, something in the gray palesexual department or such, and hopefully you are not triggered by such presumptuous concillianormative language. It wouldn’t be the first time I was guilty of such an inexcusable microaggression, and I am not so oblivious to my own romantic privilege to believe it will be the last time either. #concillianormativity #microaggressions #romprivilege #presumptuous #moirails #inexcusable I’m glad I brought up the subject of unexamined privilege, because it dovetails beautifully with the point I was about to make regarding beforan society and its savage umbral potentiality which later manifested through the kind of Alternian brutality you are all too familiar with. Those in the higher echelons of the hemospectrum such as the ceruleans, or “blue bloods” (careful, being loose with such terminology is opening the floodgates to a whole host of toxic signist language and hemophobic slurs), when addressing the challenges faced by those lower on the spectrum, such as the midhues or in particular warm castes like umbers, ochres, or “rust bloods” (another slur, highly problematic, deeply offensive and triggering terminology, strongly imploring you steer clear of this term), they would be well advised to check their cerulean privilege, particularly before dismissing hardships or marginalizing claims of oppression, which can be difficult for them to identify or empathize with from their advantageous position within the beforan//Alternian power structures. #dovetail #problematic #powerstructures #toxicsignistlanguage And some may argue that in our peaceful “utopian” culture that we have freed ourselves from injustice and disparities in privilege in a post-scarcity economy, largely equal rights distributed across the hemospectrum, and therefore exist in a “post-spectral world” (laugh out loud), and therefore there is no need to champion important social causes and there is nothing left to debate, but really nothing could be further from the truth. You just need to educate yourself and carefully investigate the longstanding power dynamics in play. For instance, a seemingly “harmless” remark from a cisblooded cerulean toward an umber or God forbid a burgundy or yes even a warm-identifying physically-cooler caste, about their very long term future plans such as on the order of centuries, then this may prove to be a very hurtful microagression due to the fact that lowhues cannot possibly live that long themselves, and the more priviliged caste could easily outlive dozens of generations of midhues or hundreds of generations of bUoYs (burgundy-umber-ochre-yellowgreens, note please avoid describing the lattermost as “lime bloods” as it has historically been used as an especially vicious epithet). Such remarks can further trigger painful reminders of how cooler castes, to some extent oJAs, but CIPs and Royal-Vs in particular, have been able to use their tremendous lifespans over the millenia to gain a stranglehold over the social order, have been able to completely dictate our societal evolution by ensuring only their cultural agendas and narratives receive the dialogue’s air supply, assuring the codification of those resultant ideals and deciding what “normalcy” entails, and sadly these absolutes become internalized across the full spectral range, even within those of most compromised privilege, and so you begin to see the cyclical nature of the dysfunction and the resulting inertia against positive change and raising awareness of the most underproblematized issues, which I think we can agree, is pretty problematic. #postspectralworld #lol #bUoYs #oJAs #CIPs #RoyalVs #narratives #agendas #narratives #lifespanprivilege #dysfunction #aweness #agendas KANKRI: And really, it’s everyone’s business to examine their privilege, even burgundies, who may be subject to the pitfall of believing incorrectly there are none on the scale beneath them whom they enjoy certain privileges over, which off-spectrum trolls will never know, such as those identifying as otherbloods or caste-multiples, “polyblooded”, any who hemoglobically ID as having a caste which manifests nowhere (as yet known) in anyone physically, or for that matter offspecs who physically do possess such a blood type, or “mutants” (VERY problematic term, highly triggering to some, be warned), such as you and I, Karkat. but this puts us both in a situation which to our knowledge uniquely allows us to understand and empathize with tragically underprivileged and unempowered groups across all scuttles of life, thus affording us both what I like to call a “uniquely underprivileged privilege”, which, yes, is a kind of privilege we should both strive to check as well, whenever we can. This same uniquely underprivileged perspective as I’m sure you know was disadvantaged upon my post-scratch iteration as well, and while I have no doubt you justifiably came to revere that figure of your planet’s rich history and your personal lineage, and while his goals of peace, equality, and a truly spectrablind society, I’m afraid I personally have trouble condoning his methods. I don’t like to use the term “problematic” lightly, but, well, his tactics were nothing if not massively problematic, to say the least, employing violent uprising to effect change, and emblazoning his mark upon history and his faithful followers with the salty flourish of a single rude, shouted swear word, it’s not to my taste even though he is who I would have grown up to be in another life. but no, I prefer to effect social change through rational, honest discourse and contributing to ongoing dialogues, focusing on what should be the real goals, through keen adherence to the discipline of Problematics, ensuring that we stay focused on successfully problematizing a wide range of direly undercomplicated social dilemmas. #undercomplication #saltyflourish #rudeshoutedswearword #spectrablindsociety #dilemmas #goals #Problematics #dilemmas It’s nice to see we agree on so much. Maybe we are not so unalike, despite our drastically different upbringings. Anyway, as I was saying, the story of your ancestor, and more importantly my exhaustive list of misgivings with his approach to social change, is quite a long and elaborate one, but it actually fits brilliantly within the larger mosaic which captures the broad strokes of my post. I mean our discussion. Trigger warnings for the following content include: ancestor bashing, faith shaming, loud swearing, torture, burn wounds, ship sinking… again, seriously, just let me know if you begin to feel triggered by anything, even slightly. We’ll pause and see if we can really explore those issues, and identify exactly how I may have invalidated your struggles. Without further ado, the story is as follows: #TW #ancestorbashing #shaming #swearing #torture #burns #shipsinking #struggles #invalidation #misgivings
Honestly the bell being beautiful on the inside would be more meaningful if the bell wasn't bejeweled and just sounded the best. Showing beauty as something like jewels kind of backfires on the message
buck wade Caanan It does have a kind of different studio and a lower budget. Most of the massive amount of sequels were made by the toon disney animators and writers who did the tv shows. That's why the story is fucking stupid and the animation is ultra shit.
Okay, Esmeralda is now the wife of the captain of the city guard right? So why is she still running around barefoot and(by Medieval standards) half naked? At the very least she should be wearing shoes, a costlier/more modest dress and her hair up/braided (or a sort of haddress as it was custom for married women back then) And she should definitely not dance for coins anymore. If Phoebus can afford freaking gold covered armour he can afford a pair of shoes for his wife, I hope.
+janeyrevanescence12 Now that you mention it, I actually seem to remember her wearing green shoes, maybe? Still she should be dressed way better as the wife of the captain of the guard.
In Esmeralda's defense (because the movie sucks), I think it's kind of a gypsy thing. I wouldn't know very well but I can say for the clothing/shoe thing, it's true for that because the clothing is traditional and the shoes well...it's kind of a thing I've seen around before. And hell, maybe she just likes dancing. Come on! Just because she's married doesn't mean she has to change her entire personality, clothing and hobbies :/ -The only thing that changed was her eye color-
the hunchback of notre dame, the secret of nimh.... parents complain how dark and scary these films are and traumatize children so the directors decide to make child-friendly, brainless shit sequels with no depth and no impression. which one is better for kids: dark films, that teach about love, courage and open-mindedness and have interesting, strong characters or light-hearted family films, where heroes are whining bitches and ignorant assholes and the moral of the story is blank?
Took the words right out of my mouth. I watched the original when I was three, three!, and was perfectly fine afterwards. Hell I think its why I'm the person I am today. It and the Lion King are the top two of my favorite Disney Renaissance movies. The Lion King 2 is my favorite of the sequels, 1 1/2 was meh to me, but this, this just is terrible compared to the original. And I hate flaunting my nostalgia around when it comes to matters like this but this is really a bad sequel that has no business existing. The animation is way off from the original, even TLK2 and all of the Stitch movies kept to their original art style better than this.
Kira the Cat Ah I remember the first time I watched the second movie....., the animation change made my jaw hit the floor . What the hell man it looks like it was made in Bug's bunny's golden years
"Why are Esmeralda's eyes blue? They were *green* in the first movie! And *deep* green at that!" Not to mention her name means "Emerald"! That's not why she was called that in the book, but it still should've been a helpful reminder for whoever was in charge of continuity checks.
Why is Phoebus still wearing his armor? Didn't he give up being Captain in the first movie? And how is he not in prison? I mean, they won at the end of the first movie, but all they did was overthrow Judge Frollo. You'd think the King of France would have been notified of a peasant revolt in Paris and Phoebus would have been arrested and most likely beheaded, or he would at least be in hiding, and certainly not still be Captain of the guards he plainly betrayed in the first movie.
he was actually fired by frollo i think.with him being gone,he just took the job back.....that the king should have given a fuck is a good point however,i wonder why he didnt
Not to mention the fact that he married Esmeralda, and they both are still in their respective social classes. I mean, really? 15th centuary, and it was possible for Phoebus to marry a gypsy lady, and STILL remaining a well-respected part of the society? Same goes with Esmeralda. She is still a gypsy, after being wed to a captain of a ROYAL GUARD?! Tf.
Because kids are stupid and wouldn't recognize him if they changed his appearance from the original movie. Don't you remember the confusion induced riots that ensued when Aladdin dressed as a prince.
I am theorizing that Dante's missing tenth layer of Hell is being forced to sit through all the animated Hunchback knockoffs back-to-back, by Goodtimes, UAV Entertainment, Golden Films, 90's Burbank, and finally ending with Dingo pictures. (If you want to know what I am talking about, look up the reviews by Phelous. Some of them seriously make Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame II" look good). This would no doubt come before the eleventh layer that Nostalgia Critic personally discovered, involving the boy shoving grapes in his nose and constantly shouting "Bloopity! Bloopity! Bloopity!" I don't blame Dante for finding them too horrifying for readers to comprehend and not writing about them.
The sad part is that this was a good concept. I liked the idea of Quasimodo getting a girl, I liked the idea of her having Quasi's opposite problem. Quasi being shunned for being ugly, no one taking her seriously because they think she's just a pretty face, and thus neither of them are looked at as people, just judged on their looks. But god, this is AWFUL!
In the first movie, Esmeralda demonstrated having her wits about her, able to (among other things) outmaneuver 10 soldiers going after her. In this she's utterly useless and hopes for her dopey husband to fix things.
@@Grimmheim You know the first movie? The gypsy woman at the beginning. I think it's Esmeralda. Everyone thinks she died. But not to me. I think she's supposed to be 35 in the first movie. That would make her 15 at the beginning. Clopin also tells the audience to solve the riddle. Maybe his mother survived and it's Esmeralda? Just saying. Interesting theory, huh🙂
@@sofiastern8218 Dude... Quasimodo's mother was WAAAY older than Esmeralda. And there is no proof that she is alive or that she could be Esmeralda. And it would be really f*cked up that Quasimodo fell in love with HIS OWN MOTHER.
I can appreciate a bejeweled bell if it's made for the intention of simply being something to admire, like a statue, painting, or any piece of fine art. But why is it in the bell tower where NO ONE will be able to see it? So the villain steals the bell, and..... now what? Where's he supposed to put it? Does he have a bell-tower-sized cart in his travelling circus in which he can proudly put it on display atop his coffee table? Wouldn't his possession of something that conspicuous be a little OBVIOUS to the authorities scouring the countryside in their attempts to retrieve it? Or was the idea for this incredibly vain character to NOT show off one of the most opulent relics in all of France? Sure, Madeline's cute, but Esmeralda she ain't.
ultraofrahfan1 I know they were almost too subtle I mean my god plain on the outside and beautiful on the inside of course as stated the only purpose it could server is as art/attraction so why was it hidden away in the tower. Cause ringing it ain’t a logical option.
Yo, Bobsheaux! Please give AniMat, Cartoon Palooza and Jambareeqi paid Patreon requests/votes that are to review and go full rage on The Hunchback of Notre Dame II and many other horrible animated sequels they never reviewed yet.
Same with Pocahontas 2. I know a lot of people would say Mulan 2 as well, but at least that one had some good qualities about it. I don’t hate this sequel nearly as much as everyone else, but don’t get me wrong its one of the most terrible. But I’m more disappointed than anything. Every single character from the original movie got crapped on and are more stupid and ignorant in this movie. One of the most aggravating aspects is the mere fact the gargoyles are not only more annoying, but they get a lot more screentime than Esmerelda herself. Even Phoebus and Zephyr appear more than her, and she’s so cranky in this movie. And Quasi went from being an adorkable character just wanting to fit in to being a bumbling idiot who gets tongue tied around “hot” girls. Even Clopin himself is a shadow of his former self, a random narrator that isn’t really interested in the plot and for whatever stupid reason doesn’t have his cute little puppet of himself anymore
How can DisneyToon Studios show us some beautiful animation in The Lion King 2 from 1998, but then make horrendous animation in Hunchback 2 from 2002?!
I've always thought that people who complain that Quasi didn't get the girl in the first movie are missing two important facts 1) Quasi wanted to be free and accepted in the first movie, and he got it. He was willing to let Esmeralda go, because he loved her, making the man and Frollo the monster. 2) Phoebus also loved Esmeralda and helped her, too. Esmeralda isn't a prize, after all and Quasi was happy because Esmeralda could be happy.
The name of Esmeralda comes from the fact that her eyes are green like esmeralds. And they screw up that one. Is like failing to paint the Blue Man Group. You don´t have to be a expert in the subject to know these little things. Also, I think is very telling that Quasi here spends more time with this little spawn of hell that his own parents. And now that I think about it... why the kid is so much like his father? Esmeralda have the strongest genes while her husband all the recesive one, her child should at least have her black hair.
j1233191 In the book. But in the disney movie Esmeralda doesn´t have any jewell, so the viewer can only asume is her name because of her eyes, wich are fairly unique in the entire movie.
Personally, I've always liked Cinderella 3 and the last segment of Cinderella 2 just because of how they fleshed out and humanized Anastasia. She's one of my favorite Disney characters because of those movies. That being said, I try to forget that Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 even exists. It's better for the sake of my mental health. Also hated Lady and the Tramp 2.
i love how everybody's skintones randomly and radically fluctuate... like sometimes quasimodo is literally glowing white and sometimes esmerelda looks like phoebus in the shade, and then there's the moments where madeline becomes gargoyle gray... its incredible.
Mr. Enter's reactions to Quasimodo (that are his face as his non-deformed self and his voice in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II) just make us LOL! Then again, angry humour from Internet users like Mr. Enter make us fucking laugh.
When I was a kid, I had dislocated canines (the pointy teeth in the front of your mouth) were they would pop out of my gums. Doubbling the fact I'm heavily pail skinned and love horror. I was mocked and tease for being a vampire. The first hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite movie, because it taught me that there is some out there who cares for me. The second movie just angered me for it's blatantly disregard of the original
ithyrial Also there's this little thing called books where you can learn all sorts of things from simply reading them without having to go anywhere. Surprised Enter didn't see this as a possibility.
I still find it stupid how someone living in a tower most of their life knows more about the world than a traveling circus. There's reading about things, then there's actually experiencing them.
Frollo: A dark, intelligent, and complex character being torn between his intolerance for gypsies, religion, and sexual desires. The Ring-Leader: He's vain.
Gotta love how a story that pushed the "looks don't matter" card still has the protagonist get a super-model girlfriend at the end of the sequel... Talk about missing the point.
also gotta love the story the kinda runs counter to the moral by making the villain who is supposed to be good looking on the outside,bad in the inside a guy who needs to prepare himself massively to even look like that.
At first I was thinking maybe you're being a little harsh. The second movie wasn't as good as the first, but it wasn't that bad. I decided to watch the first movie again because it has been a few years since I've seen it. The first song gave me goosebumps and I was welling up with tears of joy by the time they showed the title (no exaggeration). You were right this movie is garbage. My apologies for doubting you.
You can't have a good Hunchback of Notre Dame movie without Claude Frollo. You need Frollo or your Hunchback movie will fail; this movie is case in point.
Michael Maximus That just adds a whole layer of, I'm not even sure whether to describe it as annoying or not, to the Hunchback level in Dream Drop Distance.
BTW,Speaking of KH,when's the Hunchback level going to return in KH3,I know it already appeared in DDD,but,Thrust me,the Tron level from KH2 returned in DDD,So when?
Quasimodo being the person who best understands the world makes sense. Everyone else in the movie (for the most part) and in the real world only knows their way of life wich is usually the normal way. Quasi's been learning normal life for a while AND remembers his old life. When it comes to understanding the world the guy actually has a huge advantage.
...I just realized Zephyr is voiced by Haley Joel Osment, who later went on to voice Sora in Kingdom Hearts. In the seventh game, Dream Drop Distance, Sora visits This world... It's come full circle XD
Yep! Just like how there never was and never will be a movie of A:TLA. Nope. Nor are there any other Star Wars movies out there aside from the trilogy we all know and love, and there are also only three Indiana Jones movies and there will NEVER be anymore than that.
also why's Esmeraldas kid blonde and white? at the very least he should look mixed with dark hair :/ like i get recessive traits and all but he comes from a mixed couple
In the original story, Esmeralda was daughter to a Frenchwoman. She was taken away by the gypsies and Quasimodo was left in her place. Seeing how gypsies are nomadic, Esmeralda's dark tone is a tan.
DarkStone94 ok but in the movie shes brown and it doesnt make a whole lot of sense for her son to just be a carbon copy of his dad like he reproduced asexually via meiosis
Maybe Zephyr was actually Pheobus's son from a previous marriage and Esmeralda is his stepmother. I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if he's her biological child.
It's only me who interpreted the gargoyles as a manifestation of the power of God? I mean, it's impossible that Quasimodo grew as a kind and gentle person with FROLLO as his only known relative and teacher. I think God (who also manifested himself as the other statues and gargoyles of Notre Dame to scare and eventually kill Frollo with a roar in the face) knew Frollo was going to be an awful father, so he animated the three gargoyles to give Quasi company and keep him on the right way.
I like that theory a lot! Also you could say that God had seen Frollo as a sinner and created deformity struck Quasimodo to test his priest worth. And he failed and so He sent the gargoyles to console His creation and deal punishment to Frollo. But that might be pushing the theory too far.
Rapunzel in the movie Tangled was raised by Mother Gothel for the first 18 years of her life and she is a sweet, loving and compassionate person regardless of the gas lighting, mean manipulative, bitch Mother Gothel is.
The worst part of this is that the magic could've been so easily explained. Maybe some exposition about ACTUAL magic instead of fake carnie magic. There is no way you could do that in reality so it would have been so much better if it was explained
+Tom The Fish Why does he need to make an Admirable Animation on it? A lot of people know and respect the movie, which makes making a review pointless. Plus, it is unfair because he admitted it is his favorite Disney movie.
I guess by Disney standerds it is fairly underrated. As it seems to be the one that is appreciated but never in the limelight when Disney advertise etc.
@@amedotuniverse652 Quasimodo also has Esmeralda's green eyes. In my eyes Esmeralda is his mother and Phoebus his dad. You think I'm totally wrong? Yes. She's NOT his mother because his mother died at the beginning. Not neccessary... I think Esmeralda is like 35 in the first movie. That would make her 15 at the beginning of the first movie. Please don't call me stupid you guys. It's just my theory. I have autism too. I would be very sad if someone answered negatively. And the theory make sense at least to me. I'd be happy if some curious person answered and asked about this interesting theory🙂
Oh gawd, the villain is beyond horrible....a freaking narcissistic vanity type dude who wants to steal a bell? Shame. ..nothing close to the first villain, Frollo, now that guy was badass.
Seriously, am I the ONLY one who actually liked Lion King 2? I mean, the character developement is good, it fits in with the Lion King series quite well, and Kiara and Kovu are very lovable characters. But yeah, I guess it Lion King 2 has SOME flaws, like make Simba turned into a ignorant douchebag for the first half of the movie then suddenly turning him into a nice guy in the end for a wierd reason. But yet I still loved the film ever since I was a kid.
The one thing that I didn't get is why in Lion King 2 Nala has blue eyes even though she had green eyes in Lion King 1? In fact, is it the same character?! But yeah, Simba was a bit ignorant towards Kovu for no reason even though his father tries to tell him otherwise.
The Lion King 2 is easily one of the best of the straight to video Disney sequels. They actually put effort into it, like they felt that The Lion King really did deserve a sequel, unlike many of the other Disney sequels, which are sequels for the sake of sequels.
Michael Siegler It wasn't that bad, probably the best straight-to-video Disney sequel I've seen, but what I really didn't like was the ending. All that stuff about love and acceptance felt kinds forced...I dunno, it might just be me, but I really didn't like it
God i forgot how weak of a film this was. Just compare the conflict to the original -A judge with a supposedly high moral code burns down Paris and persecutes God knows how many people to find a gypsy (not sure if that's how you spell it sorry) he lusts over and then tries to burn her at the stake -a fucking fancy bell gets stolen
Thiti2000: *YOU ARE WEAKER FOR COMPARING THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME II TO ITS PREDECESSOR LIKE THAT* *Frollo's horse murders Thiti2000 like he killed Quasimodo's mother*
+Toxic Rabbitania Well, there is a few years between the first and second film, so maybe that's why. Also, Demi Moore isn't as young as everyone thinks she is.
pete hill *sigh* and if you look to your left right, you can see one of those people who will tear down other people's opinions despite the fact that we can have them no matter what. (unless it's on foodfight. that sucked.)i don't CARE if you hate the httyd movies. i liked them, you hate them, it's fine and good. but when people start tearing down their opinions, it gets personal.
You want to know something, the Estate of Victor Hugo if I am correct sued Disney when the original was released in France due to forgetting to mention it was based off of the original book.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is also my favorite Disney film cause of how dark, but still lighthearted it was (except for the gargoyles, obviously). Disney films now are too PC (by that I mean Protective of Children) and that's not a bad thing, but that kind of holds them back from being spectacular. And yeah, I too hate the Hunchback sequel. I believe it was only made to pair Quasimodo up with someone as fans were upset that he and Esmeralda didn't hook up even though the first film wasn't a Beauty and the Beast story. Speaking of that, this film partially rips off the Beauty and the Beast trope, especially with Sarousch, who is basically Gaston minus the charm and humor and upping the vanity, and Madeline, a dumbed down, bland version of Belle. Thank god they didn't make any more sequels or even a tv show out of this, like every other 90s Disney film.
The Aladdin show in the 90'a was really good most of the time. They had at least some shading and light effects and the animation was smooth during the various action scenes.
1717Dave I'm not sure if I agree with them being protective... have you seen zootopia? That movie has some heavy shit that doesn't even question children's intelligence.
But chances are a series would actually tell a better story, or series of stories. I mean Quasimodo running around Paris fighting bad guys like Spider-Man wouldn't be such a bad idea.
plus there is actually a diffrence between pure vanity and what gaston shows. people looked at the no one is x like gaston-scene and made a pretty great analysis of how and why gaston has a reason to act like he does. this guy tho? yeah no,he is just gay for himself
Actually no, it's Politically Correct. Movies turn out the way they do today because some SJW virtue signaling dipshits want "diverse" characters, but don't know the meaning of the word, let alone how to write for a movie. Disney used to be all about raising the bar for animation so that people would look at it as more than "lol kids stuff"
I actually didn't mind the gargoyles in the first one. I didn't find them as annoying as most people did, and felt that they were much needed comic relief.
Phoebus:Coincedence?,I didn't think so. Bernie Kropp(from The Incredibles):HEY!,YOU STOLE MY LINE! Phoebus:Oh,C'mon,I'm sure it was just a Coincedence. Bernie:Coincedence?,I Think NOT! (Pause) Phoebus:Darn it,Pixar! Bernie:Darn it,Disney!
Same here, I actually rather liked the second one as well. It will never to pthe original but as far as Disney sequels go, it was more watchable and I did like Kovu as a character lol.
+Queenofawesome25 I would have to disagree with you on Lion King 1 1/2. I found that one more insulting to fans of the Original Lion King than I found funny.
Imagine people looking up at Notre dame when quasi’s in the middle of another dramatic climbing and singing solo and just thinking ‘ah shit there he goes again’
Kitsune Fyora Actually, the vast majority of the direct to video Disney sequels are about the children of their predecessors' protagonists. (Lion King 2 is about Simba's daughter, Kiara, Lady and the Tramp 2 is about Lady and Tramp's son, Scamp, and Little Mermaid 2 is about Ariel's daughter, Melody. Just to name a few.)
So here's the biggest question, why the fuck are Phoebus and Esmeralda still in Paris, gypsy culture comes with a nomadic lifestyle (Or at least it did in the era the movie takes place in) if you marry one you take up the lifestyle as custom dictates, unless of course she decided to stay with him in which case here people would have gone on without her, but no they decided to set up shop right there in Paris, Disney, learn to research!
Holy crap. This movie was from 2002!? I was going to pass off the animation as some lazy, mid-90's for-TV animation, but this is ridiculous. Homestar Runner looked more visually appealing, and that's a practically no-budget flash show. From BEFORE this movie came out.
In the film's defense the people who worked on it as well as a large majority of the 2000's pointless sequels, were very low budget in comparison to the originals, had very little time to create them and were not used to creating full length feature films, but rather for 22 minute episodes for television. I'm genuinely shocked that this and many of the others were as good as they currently are.
Sinba's Pride (while it is also worth watching at the same time because I'd likely give it as much stars as Jambareeqi gave it out of 5) and Stitch Has a Glitch are DisneyToon Studios films that are just watchable, Aladdin and the King of Thieves is more than worth watching (like its oldest predecessor) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is one of the many movies that give straight-to-video films a reputation that looks nearly as bad as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II.
i usually have no problem with disneysequels. i think they are a bit overhated. however,i can see why this one is hated. i only did not notice it was a piece of cheaply made drawings because i was a kid who literally watched anything not insulting and found it passable
I watched Hunchback and it’s sequel back to back when I was younger and I couldn’t make it past the opening scene in the second one. As a kid, most of the other Disney sequels amused me, and I still genuinely like the little mermaid prequel. But the lack of effort and creativity in the plot and animation of this movie... this can burn in hell with Frollo
+aenjgeal The visuals were too distracting for me. I mean, in the first movie it showed how easily he could scale the monastery and took great detail to show how high he was, this one looked like he was just climbing a giant banana in lemon pudding.
It's not terrible per se, but it's not in tune at all and his diction just sounds.. amateurish. And we're talking Tom Hulce, someone who has sung amazingly in not just other parts of this movie but throughout his career as an actor.
Good video, friend. I love The Hunchback of Notre Dame too, but having like favorite to Pinocchio. However, a little question: which are the three worst Disney Sequels, in your opinion?
+TheMysteriousMrEnter That just might be a good thing. Not all of them are this bad, but none of them are good. Either way, they aren't worth your time, really.
You know what's sad, if that happened in actual Medieval France, the thieves would have been most likely not found, for the French would be too busy blaming the Jews for it.
If I understand correctly, asexual doesn't mean you can't be attracted to people, it just means you aren't sexually attracted to them. You can still be romantically attracted.
Maybe it was before he became asexual..i mean, it is possible to go from being interested in love and stuff, to asexual (exactly what happened to me) Asexuals do have reason as to why they are asexual usually.. But i wouldn't know with mr enter's situation, just personal experience..
