I love this film, it's my favorite of the Disney-renaissance. I've seen the musical adaptation last year, and I'm still shocked how much darker the story originally is. the musical leans much more into the original book, and even the film diverts much more from the source material, I prefer the lighter tone and the hopeful ending of the movie.
It depends on how you're framing it. I also like the Gargoyles to. But I can't stand Dory in Finding Nemo (2003), yeah I went there (Even when I was a kid I hated Dory) (However I hated the Gargoyles in Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002) but that's a rant for another time). I know a lot of people anecdotally who like the Gargoyles. But let's be honest most the hate for the Gargoyles comes from the internet. Sure I'm not the only who likes the Gargoyles and while they do have their fans and defenders, but they are in the minority (or possibly silent majority). If you're talking about the internet than yeah a majority of people hate the Gargoyles. If you're talking about in non-internet circles than you'll find a decent amount of people who do like them and aren't just bandwagoners (I'm not saying everyone who hates the Gargoyles are bandwagoners, and if people genuinely don't like them than that's ok and I'm not shaming them for it. But let's be honest. A lot of them are bandwagoners).
I am not a big fan of them. I don't hate them, but they do cause tonal problems, something that Dory doesn't do in Finding Nemo. Their song "A Guy Like You" is one of the worst songs I have ever heard in a Disney movie playing during a dark scene of Paris being burned down. I don't need to hear "Oh. But this was the purpose.", because that doesn't make this song any less annoying and tonally out of place, because at least the slapstick scenes were easy to forgive, and the funny songs like the "Feast of Fools" and "The Court of Miracles" actually felt more consistent with the characters who were singing them, as thos people were outcasted by Frollo and wanted to make things better for themselves.
@@captainhowlerwilson508first of all just because Dory “doesn’t cause tonal problems” doesn’t mean she’s funny, she’s still annoying, obnoxious, unfunny, cringeworthy, and useless constantly making every situation worse and telling the same jokes over and over when they weren’t even funny the first time. Also giving her a disability is such a gross justification to justify her obnoxious behavior. I guarantee you if Dory didn’t have a disability and still behaved the way she people would have hated her. They obviously gave her a disability in order to guilt trip people into thinking she was funny when she’s really not. Second of all here’s my debunk of that point: “The Gargoyles Ruin The Tone of The Movie & The Song A Guy Like You Is Out of Place” DEBUNKED: *Let me clarify. I’m talking about the Gargoyles in THIS movie and the Berlin stage play. Not the horrible no good very bad unnecessary piece of shit sequel. I hated them in the sequel*. I like the three Gargoyles in the movie. I found them to be funny and charming. My favorite one being Hugo voiced by Jason Alexander. While they're not laugh out hilarious or anything, but they were funny to me at least. Fuck Dory from Finding Nemo (2003) (I'm a fan of Ellen DeGeneres and I found her to be annoying and obnoxious)! While I’m glad the Gargoyles were in the movie, and I will defend them till the day I die. That being said I would have been ok if they didn’t exist because your two leads Quasimodo and Esmeralda are likeable characters who carry the movie and I give a shit of what’s going on. To be blunt I didn’t like The Victor Hugo novel because I found it kinda boring and Quasimodo and Esmeralda aren’t very likeable in the novel. If you had put the Gargoyles as they are in this film and put them into the boring ass Victor Hugo novel, the novel would still suck and still be boring and pretentious, this also applies for the overrated shitty American Stage play. I will admit I do think they are better and funnier in the Berlin stage play and King’s Academy stage play given that they are confirmed to be in Quasimodo’s imagination and their humor is toned down and not over the top like it is in the movie. Do I get the hate for the Gargoyles? Yes and no. Those criticisms being "They're annoying and obnoxious. They're not funny and cringey. They're too over the top. Their attempts at adult humor are off putting" - People who don't like The Gargoyles. I don't agree with that, but I understand why people feel that way. Although I found them to be funny and charming, that being said I'm aware that they're humor isn't going to be everyone especially when they try to tell more adult jokes. The other criticism "They sacrifice the dark tone and ruin it and they don't fit the movie". Umm how? They're barely in the movie and they're very easy to skip. No complains about Condiment Man being out of place in Batman The Animated Series (1992-1996/1997-2000) or Mr. Mxyzptlk being out of place in Superman The Animated Series (1996-1999). The three Gargoyles in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) do the same exact thing. If they're going to criticize The Gargoyles for being out of place in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame than they should complain about Condiment Man being out of place in Batman The Animated Series (1992-1996/1997-2000) or Mr. Mxyzptlk being out of place in Superman The Animated Series (1996-1999). I know movies are subjective, but this seems hypocritical to me. No one also complains about Baby Herman in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1990) for being out of place. Also, they don’t contradict the message of the movie itself. When Laverne calls Hugo “The fat ugly stupid one” after she calls Quasimodo “The cute one” it’s used to comfort Quasimodo and make him feel good about himself. Quasimodo is still very insecure about his looks at this point and time in the story. They’re trying to build him up and make him more confident himself. It is used to support Quasimodo and has nothing to do with the film’s message whatsoever. I also want to address the song A Guy Like You that the Gargoyles sign in the movie, even the very few people who like the Gargoyles don’t like the song. Honestly, I like the song. Not gonna lie it is my least favorite song in the movie, but I do like it. I think it's catchy and quite heartfelt. Do I get the hate for it? Yes and no. I the get that song is too over the top and not everyone's cup of tea. However, people say it's out of place is lubricious, especially if you DON’T take it out of context. While I agree that it should have been placed after Quasimodo helps Esmeralda escape the cathedral and right before Heaven's Light/Hellfire rather than being placed during Judge Frollo's manhunt (Even the very few people who like the Gargoyles also make that argument). However, I don’t think it's out of place and fits perfectly fine if people take into context. In the context of the song A Guy Like You, Quasimodo is rightfully worried for Esmeralda's safety given that Paris is literally burning caused by Judge Frollo and the Gargoyles are trying to cheer up Quasimodo. Quasimodo is very concerned for Esmeralda's safety and they're trying to cheer up. How is it any different to real life situations when you're sad or angry or stressed out about something bad happening to someone wanting to be cheered up (Whether it be watching a movie you like, going to a friend's house etc)? Or watching or hearing something horrific on the news and wanting to change the channel to watch something that puts you in a good mood to cheer up? Also, the song doesn't last very long and it's the shortest song in the movie. What the Gargoyles are trying to do is equivalent to those real-life situation examples I mentioned. Also, the song is supposed to be cringeoworthy. You want the Gargoyles to stop singing it. Especially making Quasimodo overconfident with Esmeralda loving him back romantically. The filmmakers have said this in the documentary. You can watch it on TH-cam. I recommend it. Not gonna lie, I do prefer the Berlin/King’s Academy version of the Song A Guy Like You given that it’s still toned down and not over the top like it is in the movie, but I still enjoy thing song despite being my least favorite song in the movie. Like I've said, I know movies are subjective and it's ok that people don't agree with me, but I find some of these criticisms to be hypocritical epesically when you compare the Gargoyles to Condiment King from the 90s Batman cartoon, Mr. Mxyzsptlik from the 90s Superman cartoon and Baby Herman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I’ll get more depth of this movie when I get to my number one pick. To be perfectly honest, I think most people who hate the Gargoyles also say they do so they can pander to the Gargoyle hating circle jerk and just hate them because it’s the cool thing to do. Not all of them, but the majority of them are. Also say what you want about the Gargoyles at least they’re not making the same jokes over and over like Dory in Finding Nemo and unlike the God Awful Unnecessary sequel direct to video sequel Hunchback of The Dame II (2002) the Gargoyles are easier to skip IN THIS MOVIE than they are Hunchback of The Dame II (2002).
I always consider The Hunchback Of Notre Dame as an underrated animated masterpiece from the Disney Renaissance and one of my personal favorite movie growing similar to The Prince Of Egypt by DreamWorks.
Absolutely! It's so sad to me that it doesn't seem to be remembered quite as much as movies like Beauty and the Beast or the Lion King. It's such a good movie! Also, I love Prince of Egypt too!
@@disneymagicfanatic I know the feeling, I always think The Hunchback Of Notre Dame deserve more attention like all the other Disney movies, like the title character the movie Excel want to be accepted like a Disney movie, my favorite character is always Esmeralda.
This is my absolute favourite Disney film ever, one of my favourite films period. I love Victor Hugo's novel, but I also love what they did with the Disney film. Even though it captures the themes and tone of the book, it's still a family-friendly film because it has adult appeal, but doesn't have any scenes that are violently graphic or sexually explicit, and, unless you count hell as a swear word, no strong language. I will also defend the gargoyles to the death. Having humour and lighter moments blended with a serious tone, and dark themes can work because it can create a sense of hope and feeling of goodness amongst dark and depressing times. They're present to remind Quasimodo that he's human and encourage him to be good, contrary to Frollo raising him to believe that he's a monster
I've watched a lot of videos on THOND and I can safely say you are in the majority when it comes to your feelings about the gargoyles. Everyone seems to either hate them or just wishes they had smaller roles.
In my opinion, this film has one of the best scores in animated history! This film's soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece. I am so excited to talk more about that in future videos that I'm working on! :)
Question, what are your thoughts on Oliver and Company? Cause... I recommend looking at the relationship between Fagin and Sykes. It's really interesting and kind of similar to Frollo and Qausimodo's relationship. While it may focus on the animal characters, this movie doesn't hesitate to show the darker parts of New York about poverty, debt, and exploitation. While Sykes may not be as nuanced as Frollo, he is the most realistic villain I've seen that doesn't belong in a Disney film. No song, unique design, campy voice, or wacky personality. Just an unsympathetic loanshark who preys on the weak. While it shows Frollo's crimes onscreen, Sykes's crimes are more... implied. From Sykes's dialogue and screentime, he's a man who manipulates an entire city to believe he's just a businessman who owns a shipyard to repair ships and build them as he specifically targets the poverty into using them for his own pleasure as he neglects, and abuses his two Dobermen to make them become like him.
I definitely plan on doing one eventually! :) I LOVE Tarzan so much. I have some other projects lined up first (some already in their editing phase), so it might be a little while before I can get to it unfortunately.
Before, they tried to adapt a real life story with Pocahontas and it ended up feeling hollow because they didn't take the history seriously enough. Then with this movie, they took a classic novel of the same name, which was a very dark story, and made the film as dark as they could for kids and parents to handle, keeping the film respectful to the book despite the mariad of changes that would come with entertaining children.
I need to correct you. The novel centres not around Esmeralda, it centres around the Building. Really. The original novel has in French the title Notre Dame de Paris. The Name of the Cathedral
Why is Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) is labeled as tonally inconsistent when they share the same exact tone as Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1990), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995/1997-2000), X-Men: The Animated Series (1994-2000), Superman: The Animated Series (1996-2002), Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1996-2002), Justice League: The Animated Series (2002-2005), Batman: Mask of The Phantasm (1993), Gargoyles (1994-1996), Corpse Bride (2005), Cowboy Bebop (1999-2002), and Naruto (2002-2005)? Isn't this a clear double standard? Have you guys seen Eddie Murphy's 'The Haunted Mansion' (2003) or the overrated shitty Toy Story 3 (2010)? Those movies epitomize tonal inconsistency far more than Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
