Critics Consensus

Disney's take on the Victor Hugo classic is dramatically uneven, but its strong visuals, dark themes, and message of tolerance make for a more-sophisticated-than-average children's film.

With an awesome villain, relatable protagonist, and bleak and gothic setting, this film is easily the best disney 90's film for me.

Wall Street Journal

You're quickly won over by the movie's subversive wit, swept along by its narrative bravado and its enormous visual energy. This new "Hunchback" is a triumph on its own terms, and on any other terms that might come to mind.

These ideas are presented with effective songs and, yes, tasteful bits of humor.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a bold effort with some of the strongest uses of size and scale in Disney history. The entire film, however, fails to land with a distracted and ineffective voice.

This is the darkest “G” movie of all time! It’s like the Bambi’s mom scene for 90 minutes!

From the Front Row

It is a great paradox, a film denied commercial success because of its darker themes, but a film that succeeds artistically for those very reasons.

Rated: 3.5/4
