Comment below your thoughts on the movie I love discussing the movies I watch with my viewers let me know your thoughts and any interesting facts about the movie.
I just found out that Esmeralda was an official Disney Princess until 2004, when Disney callously removed her because her merch didn’t sell as well as others. That’s some bullshit! I wish someone could get her restored!
That is so rude to remove her from the line up just because her merch didn't sell
Okay, here we go: In the animation, Esmeralda is 19, but Frollo's seeing forty-something. And yes, unfortunately, the gargoyles are real. I just wanted to say! 😚
16 was old enoguh on those times.
The book is way darker than the Disney movie in the book she's 16 but in the movie, she is belived to be in her early twenties.
I feel like Frollo is the most frightening Disney villain, because he's the most realistic when it comes to real world evil.
OMG YES, i completely agree like you are able to separate real life to fiction with most because sometimes it is just to insane to believe or how they did what they did didn't make sense, but you could actually see someone do exactly what frollo did.
Exactly! Many say Maleficent is the worst but Maleficent is a dark fairy. Dark fairies don't exist in the real world.
He is scary, other in the list of realistic Disney villains are mother Gothel and Gaston, but Frollo is by far the scariest to me. I lived in a deeply catholic environment, I still have faith because the bubble I grew up in was kind and accepting,they always taught me it was about love, acceptance, and helping one another. So Frollo was the type of shit I encountered when I got out of that bubble and... It was scary, to see how much evil and damage people did to others in the name of the same things I believed in.
And bitch, I saw this movie when I was like, 7 😂 i was shook, my mom was scrambling trying to answer all my questions, specially about hellfire.
True
your poor mother probably couldn't deal with all the questions you were throwing at her
"I can't imagine how dark the book is"
SIS DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU
Lol is it really that dark
Oh you have no idea lol
--SPOILERS--
I don't remember much, but Quasimodo doesn't manage to save Esmeralda in time. So she gets hanged and dies. And then in the end he goes to where she's buried, lies down next to her and stays there until he dies too.
The Off-Broadway musical of this movie keeps a variant of the book ending - probably why it didn't get brought to Broadway. Disney opted for Frozen the musical instead (apparently because they didn't want to pay for the entire massive choir for all the chorus parts, but 🤨)
@@CaffeineDeprivation not only that, but there's an attempted rape scene (or two, depending on how you view Phoebus' trying to convinced Esme to have sex before they get married), murder everywhere, Esme marrying some dude to save him and that dude choosing to save her goat over her at the end, and countless other dark and weird things. Disney took hella risks to adapt this book 😂
Oh boy... the book... Brilliant book but it will break your heart and destroy your soul if you have any form of empathy
You know what makes Frollo a terrifying villain? People like him exist in the real world. He isn't some sorcerer or witch bent on world domination using magic, he's an ordinary person with too much power and influence for his own good.
Exactly i completely agree
political and religious power no less
YES OMG. you explained this perfectly
Agreed. As a Christian myself, Their is too much hate, fear mongering and discrimination going on in the church instead of Love,Grace and Forgiveness! Not to mention people who are very much like Frollo!
He was corrupted by his very status, position and ego-stroking of his life.... he only really truly feared for his own soul the moment he looked upon the judging gaze of the saints depicted on Notre Dame... and he humbly asks for he must do to save his soul from what he'd done.
And alas, even though he might have accepted the duty... he never truly did what he was asked to do - and in the end he gets to fall into hellfire while clinging to the demonic-smiling gargoyle head he had been clinging to in fear or loosing his life.
So, Frolo is not a priest, he is a judge. And the simple priest of the cathedral, could do nothing against Frolos order outside of the cathedral.
I understand that on a certain level I’m just upset he didn’t try to help Quasimodo harder then like keeping frollo from killing him
@@LexisThoughts It's worth noting though that Frollo IS a priest in the original novel by Victor Hugo. I'm pretty sure Disney changed it for the movie since making a catholic priest the villain of a "family film" would have been super controversial.
Yeah if he was a priest the parents would have completely outraged if the villain was a priest
@@takaono7243 yeah. Of course. But the story in the book so much diferent than in Disney version. Esmeralda should be dead too but Disney change it too. Disney made its own version. That is actually a thing in Disney writing. Look at Frozen. What they did with the original story is not good at all.
@@alissonlares2926 Small wonder in most cases. The Little Mermaid and Hunchback sooo depressing in original! Esmeralda shot by arrow (and before tortured) is one thing. Quasimodo hugging her in death remaining at her side. Later their bodies found entangled together covered in ash. COME ON! There doesn't exist an era you can show that to kids!
This was 1400s France, 16 was above the age of consent, and even then, movie Esmeralda is portrayed as being in her 20s.
It is still so very creepy, frollo shouldn't be acting like this
@@LexisThoughts
Yeah, I didn’t say he wasn’t acting like a creep, I’m just saying there’s more than just age, for why it’s creepy.
@@Laxhoop good point thanks i shouldn't focus much on the age i mean the position of power is bad enough.
Pretty sure aoc in France is still 16 actually
@@MalachiCo0
Yeah, but this was centuries ago. Even 50 years ago in most countries, 14 wasn’t seen as strange.
Quasi giving his blessing to Esme and Phoebus and putting himself permanently in the friendzone is so mature of him, especially when you consider the motivations between the three guys after her. Frollo lusted after her and instead of handling his feelings, wanted to kill her bc of it. Quasi put her on a pedestal and practically kissed her feet, which is also an unhealthy way to view someone and their relationship would never be equal. Phoebus admired her strength and defiance in the face on injustice, and that was the basis of their relationship, fighting the machine together. So from a hardcore Quasi fan, Phoebus was the best choice, really.
yeah i completely agree i just didn't want poor little quasi's heart to be broken
I agree. He respected her from the beginning and before she walked up to the stage to help Quasimodo, he asked to stop it. Go phoebus. He is loyal, kind, and an activist for anyone who has been treated cruelly. He never judges by looks or race. This is why Esmeralda was drawn to him in the first place. Also, he returned her money.
So sweet.
@@LexisThoughts Don't worry, he gets a love interest in the sequel.
That's good
True phoebus was good for esmeralda in this story
Watching this as a kid vs. watching it as an adult was 2 completely different experiences. Thanks for the video.
This was such a bizarre but fun movie watching it older really opens your eyes. I’m glad you liked the video
I remember watching it as a child and one of my "emo" mates kept singing hellfire in a creepy way and I'm like... wait isn't that from..?
😂 why was he singing it in a creepy way
@@LexisThoughts he said it inspired him when he did his artworks... it just inspired me to walk in the other direction.
Yes
This movie has one of the best lines that sums up the theme and feeling of the entire film
“what makes a monster and what makes a man?”
OMG EXACTLY, i love that line so much
Reminds me of the line used in Hellboy: "What makes a man a man? "
🌍🔌
@@jasongg4mes903 Wut? XD
as someone whose favorite movie _is_ the hunchback of notre dame....you have every right to skip "a guy like you"
Oh really good I am glad, I just didn't like those characters and didn't want to have to hear them sing.
@@LexisThoughts yeah, you're not the only one! the gargoyles have always been the biggest criticism of the film, and their song didn't help. by itself, the song is meh, i suppose, but it feels really inappropriate when it's sung not even 5 minutes _after_ frollo burns all of paris, and not even 5 minutes _before_ esmeralda kisses phoebus. great job setting quasi up for disappointment, guys.
@@livmendel That's exactly why i felt like skipping it. it just felt like bad timing and i could tell it would only upset quasi in the end.
@@LexisThoughts if you want, i HIGHLY recommend checking out the stage musical! i'm still upset it never went to broadway. the soundtrack is available wherever you get your music, and a bootleg of the show is on youtube! it's darker than the film by combining elements from the novel, but still has the original songs except "a guy like you" :)
@@livmendel I actually think it works very well. It's nice with a little light break from the darkness in the movie. And I kinda think the sad moment afterwards gets a little more impactfull.
I looked up translated lyrics for Hellfire, and the chanting is actually a prayer of confession. It’s a kind of irony where Frollo is saying that he isn’t the sinful one, and it’s all the gypsy’s fault, the monks are confessing that they have sinned, and are asking God to show his mercy. While Frollo’s saying “It’s not my fault!” The chanting is saying “by my fault.”
Unbelievable that frollo can't even confess right. Of course he is blaming someone else during his confession
Yup the latin in Hellfire is all about 'seeking forgiveness for one's own faults and sins'. Frollo however is so egocentric that he literally only had one moment in his life of moral loss - the beginning of the movie where he killed Quasi's mom and he looked upon the saints depicted on notre dame... and felt true fear for his own soul and truly accepted his wrongdoing.
He did however not follow up on the Archdeacon's words of raising quasi as his own.... Frollo never took the baby in as his own child.
Yet in Hellfire it's almost as if some angel is still trying to show Frollo he needs to stop, to ask forgiveness to just.... ACCEPT the faults he has.... but he ends up just getting more and more consumed to the point of actually attacking and invading notre dame itself, finally taking that last irrideemable stop which cannot be forgiven.
In regard to Esmeralda's age: Middle Ages, different rules. Ariel was also 16.
Yes true, but those rules were quite questionable. I understand that's how it was, but watching it today knowing that it is just weird and like creepy.
Isn't Movie!Esmeralda older than Book!Esmeralda?
EDIT: Oh that was brought up, nevermind XD
And most people died at age 40 from typhoid
@@LexisThoughts In the future when anti aging tech becomes the thing, I wonder if I'll be arrested for dating a 1600 year old lol :)
From my understanding, it’s legal in Europe to this day to consent as young as 16. If not now, then it was back then for sure.
Remember, most kids (even Catholic kids) wouldn't recognize the Latin versions of those prayers. Alan Menken had to have known this, yet he still went the extra mile and added those layers anyways because he must have figured that at least the adults who grew up Catholic (most would have grown up with the Latin Mass) would pick up on it.
He didn't have to go this hard on the lyrics, but he did it anyways because if we couldn't appreciate it as kids, we sure as heck can appreciate it as adults.
yeah that really shows that the creator really cared about the story
Hard agree because Alan Menken's music in this might be his best, but should point out that the lyrics are written by Stephen Schwartz! He's an amazing lyricist and deserves just as much hype for this soundtrack as Alan Menken, their partnership is truly spectacular.
Very true
There was actually one part where Frollo could’ve saved himself. After the song a guard opens the door and tells Frollo of Esmeralda’s disappearance. You can see the guard shrouded in a bright light, Frollo did have a chance to let go of her but instead turned back to the fireplace continued lusting over her.
Frollo is the embodiment of a hypocrite. While he is preaching that he is in the right and on the side of god he constantly chooses wrong and is closer to the fires of hell.
The lyrics are from a famous Latin poem about the Judgement day, used often Christian liturgical music
Oh really thank you so much for informing me i really wanted to know what those lyrics were from do you know the meaning by chance?
@@LexisThoughts ofc ! The poem is called Dies Irae :)
@@LexisThoughts also, the chorus of “Kyrie Eleison” is repeated throughout the film. This is also a common chorus in church music, almost as common as “amen.” It basically means Lord have mercy
Oh so that's what that means, I like it it just adds a nice dramatic effect and makes the music better.
"Mea culpa" means "my fault" - culpa is the root for culpable and culpability. "Beata Maria" means "Blessed Mary"
If I remember correctly, in the book, Quasi and Esmeralda were the same age, because they were swapped as babies. Quasi was born to a gypsy family who didn't want him because he was deformed, so they stole a beautiful baby out of her crib and replaced it with Quasi. The kidnapped baby was Esmeralda.
Edit: Yep, just checked. That's what happened.
Oh My god why would they do that, that is sad. But it is also a very good like premise for the story
@@LexisThoughts I know this is 2 years late, but movie Esmerelda is likely in her 30s, because not only does she just visually look mature compared to other Disney Princesses, but importantly, she refers to Quasimodo as a "boy" multiple times in the film, implying that not only is she older than him, but she's old enough that she can _tell_ that she's older just by looking at him.
This movie was dark but held important messages for us kids that grew up in the 1990's.
That's true as more things happen in the modern reality Disney shouldn't be to afraid to get a bit dark in order to teach and prepare children for the hardships instead of shielding but I still do like a good Disney movie that is lighthearted and makes you happy and emotional.
OMG someone is finally reacting to Hunchback! It's my favorite of the old disney. I'm not a fan of the gargoyles. I think they threw off the tone and weren't that funny but at the same time, I get that the filmmakers were trying to figure something out to lighten it up for the kid audience. But overall, the music, the colors, the voice acting of Tom Hulce, all the way to Disney actually having the guts to make the main villain song a PRAYER about his lust for Esmeralda, this movie makes me so happy. THANK YOU for choosing to react to it.
also she is 16 in the novel, in the film she was intended to be early twenties. still disturbing though
I’m glad you enjoyed my video this movie really is amazing I agree with everything you said honestly.
yeah it really is very weird
I know right?
🌍🔌
Fun fact. Disney villains had mostly green eyes. Why? Old believes, green eyes are from the devil and many green and red haired people where hunted down, tortured and killed. Esmeralda is the first heroine with green eyes, fitting in the timeline in history, where gypsies where seen as devils, hunted, tortured and killed. Her green eyes is the most unique thing on her, just as red hair that is unique for Ariel.
Esmeralda being a gypsy and having green eyes must have been why Frollo thought he was completely right for hunting her down and killing her.
Omg that's such a fun dark fact i really like that. I never knew that about green eyes but kinda can see why people dislike people with green eyes green is a odd color for eyes and looks a bit like monster eyes. But i always thought people with red hair on tv were always the bad guy. I think h2o just add water made me think this way honestly.
Yeah he probably thought he was doing a good job
@@shigurizu well people probably consider you the villain of there story lol
I don’t recall Disney villains having mostly green eyes? Rapunzel is the second heroine to have green eyes but I think there it was just to make her look more unique
It's not really about him being a good singer in "out there", it's about the emotion. Can't get enough of it
Yeah that's why I am not to bothered by the singing I feel as though it really works for the character of Quasimodo
@@LexisThoughts facts
Tom Hulce does the voice and singing of Quasimodo here.
@@LexisThoughts It’s the vibrato that can be a bit much. I love his voice, but I understand why some people find it annoying.
yeah true
Personally, I like the idea of the Cathedral itself being alive in the movie. Not only does it add an explanation for why the gargoyle head came alive as Frollo was falling to his death, it also adds an additional contrast between him and Quasimodo. Quasi, a friendly and humble young man who does what's best for those around him, is beloved by the holy sanctuary and is treated as a friend. Meanwhile, Frollo, a wicked man who abuses his position and falls to multiple sins (mainly pride and lust), is despised by it and is eliminated by its hand. I do agree, though, Hugo and Victor (the tall and short gargoyles) were incredible annoying. I found Laverne to be more enjoyable, since at least that one had good lines and a mentor-like role rather than being pure (and very botched) comic relief.
Also, you did NOT miss anything with the gargoyle song.
OMG the cathedral being alive would be so cool and really offer insight in what was happening in the story
Esmeralda's 16 in the book. She's been aged up to early 20's in the movie, which isn't by much, and does not make Frollo's behaviour any less creepy. Because yikes.
But that’s also the point: he IS creepy, a pervert, and a psycho for having no remorse is killing a woman and then almost killing the baby, and killing even more people. But it’s so important to see a multi-layered villain because these people exist and it’s a way for kids to kinda learn that.
Exactly
Completely agree
When Frollo told Esmeralda "Choose me, or the fire", something she could've done was pretend to take Frollo's offer, and then kill him in his sleep.
Yeah but esmeralda was probably to proud for that
@@LexisThoughts Yeah, there is that. I also wonder if Frollo might be smart enough to see that coming.
@@sgauden02 probably honestly and he would probably punish her worse
@@LexisThoughts Yeah, probably. Frollo however, received a very karmic death for his actions.
"And He shall smite the wicked, and plunge them into the fiery pit!"
Well, Frollo wasn't exactly wrong...
IKR that was so funny and well deserved
14:14 The other way around, actually. In the book she's 16. In the Disney movie, she's in her twenties to help make it a little less creepy.
It is still very creepy honestly but thanks for correcting me.
Ok , but how old is Captain Phoebeus then?? In the movie he was in war for like 20 years. He must have been in his 20's first of all then. And now returning to Paris he must be like 40. And Esmeralda is like 20. That feels a LITTLE bit weird. But still not weirder than Frollo who's like 70 wanting Esmeralda.
@@MsBerann In the book, Frollo is 36. In the Disney movie he's aged up to 56. According to Disney Wiki, Disney Phoebus is said to be 31. I've yet to find his age in the book sadly.
@@MrWhatdafuBOOM ok, then he must've been a young teenager when he went to war. Then it isn't so wierd. :)
@@MsBerann Blame the sender, not the messenger.
The 'lava' is probably boiling oil. The oil might have been lit on fire, or the glow could be a stylistic choice.
It was a great stylistic choice because that looked amazing and even if it wasn't lava that was still awesome.
It's actually molten lead.
@@darr12100 Lead ? But once it cools down, does'nt it get stuck in the garoyles ? Wich means you can use it only once and then you need to break the whole stone statue and remake it ? Or is there an other way to get rid of it ? I know nothing about lead but I've always thought it was oil. I'd like it to be lead, it would be waaaaay more savage ! ^^
wow I like how much you thought about it shows you really care about the movie and you made some great points.
@@satanikatze I just realized I'm probably incorrect, as oil would've been way too expensive to use like that. It's more probable that it was hot sand, boiling water,, or maybe even quicklime.
Tom Hulce does the voice for Quasimodo in this movie. He is a legendary broadway actor who played Mozart back in the 80s in the movie Amadeus. The guy is amazingly underrated!
Yeah I stopped watching when she clowned on him saying he can't sing.
oh that's an interesting fact i really liked his performance as quasimodo it was really good.
I think the point was to show the imperfect-ness in every aspect. His voice wasn't great yet you could feel him. He conveyed feelings very well.
Yeah that's why i still like the song even though it didn't sound as good as the others
Can I say that frollo's villain song is one of my favorites because they make him so real and they show what can happen to people who depend too much on religion (and not the actual morals or teaching) and would rather put all the blame on others than to take a look at themselves and admit that something is wrong with them and might need help.... And they use religion as a crutch and scapegoat for any wrongdoing. They really show the torment that he's going through and how messed up he is mentally. And how he is Soo overcome with list that he completely backpedals from his first stance of wanting to have nothing to do with her except for her being arrested to straight up saying chose me or die. I love complex villians
Yeah i agree honestly it shows how hypocritical people can be sometimes when regarding religion, like when someone hits their wife and children but still goes to church everyday. It isn't the fault of the religion it is the people and how they interpret it which deters others from it. It is shameful to see people like frollo who use religion as a crutch especially when i see people like my mom who use it to inspire them to do better.
"I'm gonna skip the Gargoyles' song. I'm sure someone's gonna be upset-"
Oh trust me, Lexi, no one's upset; in my experience, most people agree that that song sucks XD
To be fair, I feel like the gargoyles could be missing from the film entirely and I wouldn't be sad about it 🙊
Exactly it wouldn't make a huge difference if they were gone
yeah only one or two people have given me hate on skipping
Am i the only who likes this song? It is cute and fun.
@@caseyh8386 Actually I kind of think it would make a difference if they weren’t in it... in that it would make the film better. They don’t fit the tone and themes of the movie
I feel like it was a decision by Disney because they looked at it and panicked that it wasn’t kid friendly so they were shoehorned in. In the novel, they are clearly delusions (here are they? They actually participate in the end fight) and were not cute at all.
I love the revival era of Disney (the current era), but the renaissance era was wild. Pocahontas, Mulan, Hunchback, etc. was just dark enough and had gorgeous music and memorable stories.
True I am hoping to do more Disney movies hopefully I can do some from that era
And somehow they all got G ratings.
@@AtarahDerek I will always question that. I guess requirements for a G movie was looser back then. Not like it matters, anyway!
•It's a Catholic Choir.
•It's based on a very dark source and this is by far one of Disney's darkest films.
•It's Latin and it says, "Day of wrath, that day shall consume the world in ashes as prophesied by David and the Sybil. What trembling is to be when the Judge is come..."
•Yes, she's dead.
•You cannot hide your actions from God or from the Saints and Apostles.
•That's one of the ongoing questions.
•Easter eggs.
•Partially. The technology was new at the time.
•Keep in mind that the setting in 15th Century France. They're really into public spectacles and Catholics are a very superstitious lot. Also life expectancy was a lot shorter in the 15th Century than here in the 21st Century, so it was allowed to marry young, especially for girls.
•And with that, Frollo became one of Disney's darkest villains.
•The Archdeacon was referring to God.
•The chorus of God Help the Outcasts was one of my favorite scenes musically growing up.
•The chant in-between Heaven's Light and Hellfire is called the Confiteor. It reads, "I confess to God Almighty, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin, to the blessed Archangel Michael, to the Holy Apostles, to all the Saints."
•Hellfire is by far the darkest Disney villain song, which is why it's a favorite to many.
•It's again Latin, meaning "Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault."
•So Frollo, unlike many Disney villains what are just evil for the fun or sake of it, believes himself to be good. That all of his actions, no matter how wicked or unjustifiable, serve his idea of God's will. In contrast, you see his conflict with the Archdeacon to show the difference between those who claim to be men of God and actual Men of the Cloth.
•Frollo is among the Top 10 Disney Villains for sure.
•No, feel free to skip. The Gargoyles get mixed reactions anyway and their song is the "worst" in the film, especially when you have Bells of Notre Dame, Out There, God Help the Outcasts, and Hellfire to consider.
•Quasimodo-Patron Saint of the Friend Zone.
•The "we're only made out of stone. We just thought you were made of something stronger" line is the saving grace of the gargoyles.
•No, that is molten copper. Medieval churches had some defenses set up in the event of a siege.
•That was a dagger. What Frollo then pulled out was a sword.
•Frollo died as he proclaimed; "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit."
OMG. I LOVE YOU. Honestly this was amazing and fun and funny to read. I can't believe you answered all of my questions and gave some interesting facts. I need more people like you in my comment section I just really loved this. THANK YOU. I don't even know how to respond I loved reading this it gave me a greater understanding of the movie and I was actually able to follow what you were saying. I am just completely lost for words i hope you enjoyed the reaction i certainly enjoyed this comment.
I also love how in the Esmeralda rescue part. They start with her on the Stake and the choir is on the Dies Irae (Day of Wrath), then when Quasimodo rescues her it transitions to Libere Domine (Liberate Me Lord), to Slautaris Hostia (O Saving Victim). Perfect use of Latin in film save for Exaclibur and O Fortuna.
@@pamelatarajcak5634 Same. I still get teary-eyed when Quasi starts shouting, "SANCTUARY!". This is a film I enjoyed in childhood, but found a new appreciation for in college after taking 5 semesters of Latin.
Yeah the latin in this movie was really good detail to add
That has to be my favorite part of the movie, And yeah the latin really adds to the movie
Your reaction to Quasi's torture in the Festival of Fools was interesting because as a kid, when I watched this I walked out of the room to cry during that scene because I could not, for the life of me, understand how people could be so cruel to someone. It wasn't until I was older that I could sit through the scene without walking out or covering my eyes or ears because kid me just could not stand watching Quasi treated that way.
Yeah honestly i feel as though i am a bit used to seeing bad things like this happen. especially since when i was a kid my mom would put on stuff like law and order SVU to teach me the dangers of being a girl i guess, plus i watched a lot of black pain movie to educate me on my races past i guess so i am just a bit used to sad and terrible scenes like this and it had less of an effect since it was animated i guess.
@@LexisThoughts Well I actually wasnt commenting on your subdued reaction I was more commenting that I could hear subtle anger when you talked. Especially when you said "how could anyone laugh at this".
I actually was more thinking "yep kid me wondered that too, I couldnt stand it then." Ive also watched some painful shit especially as a preteen and teenager, its just when I was really young watching this movie that I couldnt stand that scene. I think my Mom let me watch it cos she lived under the mantra of "kids are smarter than you think"
That's a good mantra. yeah i was angry and confused like i didn't find it funny i guess i wasn't in on the joke
I couldn't watch that scene as a kid and always skipped past it since I knew exactly what it felt like to be treated like that, and felt intense pain and empathy for him which was too strong for me to handle.
cannot stand that scene! I feel too much empathy for our dear sweet Quasimodo who did nothing wrong. He’s too sweet for this treatment! I get angry and sad every time I watch the scene. And I want to cry. Quasi is way too sweet! He’s just a man he’s trying to live his life! How could anybody treat him this way. If I were in that crowd I would’ve saved him and taking him to the bell tower and giving him a good back rub.
“I am skipping a guy like you”
Lindsey ellis: well, there goes my “I’m losing to a bird joke.”
It's weird: the book's even darker than the film, but Frollo is a bit less evil in the book (he's still evil, but more of a tragic villain than the genocidal monster he is in the film).
wow really less evil? i am not sure if i will like less villains frollo but am still interested in the book.
@@LexisThoughts Make no mistake, he still has the creepy obsession with Esmeralda, but there's more of a focus on him desperately _wanting_ to be a "good" person (at least in God's eyes) and failing miserably.
Disney really said 👺👹
oh so more like a greek tragedy where the bad guy is trying to be good but just is being bad, same goes for the protagonists usually
Esmeralda is 16 in the book but in the disney movie she is much older than that (like in her 20s)
it’s still weird what they try to do with her character
@@LexisThoughts to be fair it's in the original story and they probably didn't want to keep her actually be 16. Like technically it would make every love interest and harasser real wack
I was introduced to this movie when I was 3, and I thought Quasi was the cutest Disney boy lol
3!!!!! omg r u okay?😂 this is such a a good but dark movie. Quasi honestly is a bit cute in a way. But you are definitely right he is defiantly the cutest Disney boy especially compared to other Disney boys.
@@LexisThoughts yep 3 lol blame Grandpa for thinking “if it’s Disney and a VHS it’s ok for kids” as a kid I had no idea what was going on in the film other than Frollo was a big meanie and Quasi deserves love too haha.
Well at least grandpa didn't emotionally scar you I wonder what his reaction to the movie was
Same.
oh my gosh, me too! hahah! I loved the bells off of this movie (and still do, that opening never ceases to give me goosebumps)
Fun fact: the festival where they treated Quasimodo as a king is a real thing, it's called the festival of fools and it's basically opposite day. They take one unassuming or unlocked bum and treat him like a king or pope for the day and parody church rituals.
that actually sounds pretty fun hopefully the crowd won't be as bipolar
It's also what Mardi Gras is based on. The same type of concept of festivities and fun.
Also, lowkey, Frolo isn't wrong when he tells Quasi that he's deformed and that the world has little pity, ESPECIALLY back then. Yes, he is obviously beating him down, just being cruel and is a 100% gaslighting abuser, but in this one thing, he's not wrong, unfortunately ☹
True but abusers tend to bend the truth or exaggerate it in a sense to keep control. So technically not wrong but a bit exaggeration
About Esmeralda's song. You said it reminded you of Prince of Egypt. Well, fun fact: Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for Prince of Egypt, wrote the lyrics for Hunchback, together with the legendary Disney composer
Alan Menken. :)
That makes so much sense the songs were very similar
So glad that you could find Frollo being both creepy but awesome at the same time! I kinda think so about him too! :D
Right?! Honestly he makes the movie so much better just because of that fact.
He's awesome as a villain *because* he's so creepy tbh
The whole movie is meant to be Heaven vs Hell. So the language you heard was Latin, which is Holy. And when Frolo died, he was "literally" being dragged down to Hell. Its my favorite disney movie.
They did a great job representing that it is a really good movie
I'm so glad you noticed the crowd! It may not have aged well but it was quite revolutionary at the time, because crowds were so hard and expensive to make by hand.
Awesome content 👍
Thank you, it was hard not to notice.
If you think this movie is dark, you ought to read the book. It's absolutely insane! I love this movie though. It's seriously one of my favorite Disney films!
yeah I should give the book a try sometime hopefully it's not too emotionally scaring. Thanks for the suggestion
@@LexisThoughts the stage musical is amazing as well. I actually liked it more than the animated movie.
Yeah I was thinking about giving that a shot it sounds really good
@@LexisThoughts it’s much darker than the movie
@@alexl.7668 ooh that makes me excited
This was the first movie I ever watched in theater. I was 3 and my parents were freaked out when they saw how dark it was but I loved it 😂
I would be freaked out as a parent too
My absolute favorite Disney movie of all times. I love how dark it is. Disney took such risks. I think they included those annoying gargoyles to lighten the mood, because it’s supposed to be a kids movie. And I still think they only exist in Quasimodo‘s mind because he’s so lonely.
yeah that is probably why the gargoyles acted that way. yeah they absolutely dated in his mind
I don’t know if someone has said this already, but in the live stage musical version (check out Hunchback from La Jolla Playhouse on TH-cam), the gargoyles’ dialogue are his imagination. Because Quasimodo lives in the bell tower, he’s gone mostly deaf, so his speaking voice is what you would hear from a hard of hearing person, but when he sings, it’s pure and strong because it’s from his good heart that doesn’t get destroyed from his surroundings. (And his singing voice in the live musical is FANTASTIC!)
And Quasi couldn’t be a killer-he was too pure of heart, he is the opposite of Frollo.
oh i didn't know quasimodo was hard of hearing in the story that's a cool detail about his singing
I honestly didn’t care for the Hugo novel and found it to be kind of boring. Which in turn is why I’m not a fan of the American Disney stage musical and find it to be highly overrated.
Quasimodo and Esmeralda aren’t very likable in the Hugo novel and the American Disney stage musical so when they died I simply did not care or feel anything. The choir narrating everything really got on my nerves. Flight Into Egypt is boring, lame and forgettable. Say what you want about A Guy Like You but it’s a least memorable. Say what you want about the Gargoyles but at least they didn’t give mindless exposition.
Disney actually did a stage adaptation in Berlin from 1999-2002. It’s a bit closer to the movie story wise but much darker in tone with a PG-13 feel to it. It also borrows some elements from the Hugo novel A.K.A the good aspects and ideas. The Gargoyles humor is toned down and confirmed to be In Quasimodo’s imagination and I think are funnier than they are in the movie. Esmeralda actually dies in this. But unlike the American version and the Hugo novel, it’s handled far better and she’s a more likable character. th-cam.com/video/xP8cM6QRkA4/w-d-xo.html
Quasi is straight up hardcore parkour status lmao
OMG YES. he is the King of Parkour way better than being the King of Fools
he is the king of parkour! He is impressive! I hope that if he were alive today, he would be jumping off the spires of Notre Dame! Recording himself doing acrobatics for the world. And posting videos of it on TH-cam lol. Everybody would want to go see it and subscribe to his channel lol. But then he would have to have a tragedy of the fire, the fire of Notre Dame, he would have to leave his home! And he would have to be very distraught about it I would not want to see that! Breaks my heart thinking about his reaction when he leaves his home because it’s on fire!
When she said "I can't imagine how dark the book is" I Lol'd
so many people probably did the same thing
Watch the Musical for this now, which is apparently available on TH-cam. It's closer to the book and much much darker. (Also helps give more thought and detail to the statue characters).
that sounds really good I should check it out thanks for recommending
@@LexisThoughts No problem! Here's the link if you can't seem to find it: th-cam.com/video/el0__gARNoI/w-d-xo.html
Another thing that i like with this disney is a sentence that you understand only at the very end.
At the beggining the man said " who is the monster and who is the man ? ". When you are young you think of it as a " physical " question. Quasi is the monster physically and frollo is a man.
But at the end of the movie , the sentence has changed.
" What makes a monster and what makes a man ? "
Frollo was the real monster. While quasi was a man.
Really nice way to tell you things sneakily. Nicely done movie ❤
i love that first line i think both of those lines are really poetic
God help the outcasts is one of my favourite Disney songs, particularly that shot at the end with Esmeralda and the sunlight shining through the stain glass at "I thought we all were the children of God"
Also love hellfire. Frollo is such a scary but realistic Disney Villain c
yes i love "god help the outcasts" it just sounds so good and the imagery is amazing especially that scene with esmeralda. I also love the meaning of the song
I'll give you the translation of the latin that the choir is singing in the background as much as I can
Bells of Notre Dame (the prologue song at the beginning):
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)

Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin)
Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael)
Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints)

Judex crederis esse venturus (Our Judge we believe shall come)
In te, Domine, speravi (In You, Lord, have I trusted)
Non confundar in aeternum (Let me not be damned for eternity)
Salvum fac populum tuum (Save Your people)

Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised)
Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised)
Gloria, gloria semper (Glory, glory forever)
Sanctus, sanctus in excelsis (Holy, holy, in the highest)
Mors stupebit et natura (Death and nature shall be confounded)
Cum resurget creatura (When creation shall rise again)
Judicanti responsurra (To answer for judgment)
Judex ergo cum sedebit (Therefore, when the Judge will take his seat)
Nil inultum remanebit (Nothing shall remain unpunished)
Quem patronum rogaturus (To what protector shall I appeal)
Cum vix justus sit securus? (When scarcely the just man shall be secure?)
Juste Judex ultionis (Righteous Judge of vengeance)
Ante diem rationis (Before the day of reckogning)
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
And He Shall Smite the Wicked (that scene with Frollo trying to attack them in the Cathedral when he snuck in and then eventually...and quite ironically being smited instead):

Gere curam mei finis (Help me in my final hour)
I LOVE THIS. thank you for going out of your way and translating this for me and commenting that is so sweet. this really adds to my understanding of the film and makes the music even better this was great THANK YOU.
@@LexisThoughts no problem... it is a wonderfully rich soundtrack that Stephen Schwartz helped put together using the Latin phrases of the Vulgate often used in Catholic prayer and readings (highly common among the priests at Notre Dame in the time setting) if you haven't already...he also helped with the Prince of Egypt (DreamWorks movie about Moses and the Exodus) which also has a rich soundtrack of the choir behind it...and he fully wrote Godspell which was on Broadway and has a movie version with Victor Garber
@@reevesavage I knew all this, both from a church background and from researching it after the movie, and your explanation still gave me chills!
Excellent!
Thank you!
i love prince of egypt stephen schwartz is really good at what he does
“This crowd is bipolar” True words..
Right
So from what I remember reading. The majority of the animators admitted that the interpretation of the gargoyles are all in Quasimodos head. The extra moments, like them helping fight, is Quasimodo ideas of how to help the situation against the invasion and the insulting the gargoyles do with each other and as well as the advice they give each other are most likely Quasimodos thoughts and actions that constantly go through his head. As someone with mental issues and who was bullied mercilessly for years, I was able to follow the idea that Quasimodo has imaginary friends pretty well.
oh i was thinking that they were in his mind and this makes sense, it really shows how quasimodo feels lonely and imagines the gargoyles
Yeah, this is the dude that Gothel looks at and goes "oh, that guy... yeah, he's a piece of work"
Lmao yes
"Aww, I like his voice." :) Me too, girlfriend!!!! It's so sweet, soft and kind
yeah it was like a small shock hearing his voice because it was like so sweet and i just didn't expect it.
20:58 As the great Pratchett once said, "The innocent have plenty to fear, especially from people who say things like 'the innocent have nothing to fear'."
Yes exactly
Hunchback of Notre Dame is considered to be the darkest Disney movie.
no , the darkest disney movie is " the black cauldron" , hunchback is in the second place
I have never watched the black cauldron before i should check it out sometime
yeah it really is one of the darker ones disney was brave with this one
I like how you question how Quasimodo is so strong when he literally rings church bells for a living😂
True didn’t think of that
Someone kinda touched this, but those gargoyles only exist in Quasimodo's mind. (Don't ask me how Victor hurt a guard by dropping a brick on his head. It could possibly mean that it was actually Quasimodo who injured him.) So giving the gargoyles different personalities was Quasimodo's method to deal with his loneliness since the only person he interacts with is Frollo, and Frollo is gone for a good portion of the day. Hence, also why Frollo couldn't see the gargoyles move or talk. It also explains the bad advice about Esmeralda. Quasimodo was trying to give himself hope that Esmeralda may actually have feelings for him. So their advice was Quasi's self-advice. P.S. Disney confirmed that the gargoyles all represent portions of Quasi's personality.
oh yeah that does explain the whole advice thing about esmeralda i was so mad at them for that but you just made me realize that it was quasi getting his hopes up. I was thinking they were in his mind, quasi could have just imagined victor hurting a guard.
@@LexisThoughts "I was thinking they were in his mind, quasi could have just imagined victor hurting a guard." Oh, I didn't think of that. Good point!
Thanks
@@LexisThoughts Oh, I just remembered. Unless you research the behind-the-scenes of this movie, it's really hard to tell that gargoyles are really figments of Quasimodo's mind. I used to think that they were alive as well. But the broadway show does a much better job showing that. Including Quasimodo's struggles. It's also more faithful to the original book than this movie is. It's by Disney as well.
Yeah that's probably true
"He's more ruthless than mother gothel"
Me: oh, she has no idea, does she?
Frollo is straight up deranged. Makes me have goosebumps
After watching this mother gothel has just lost her spunk
Same here
If you are interested the line "were only made of stone, we just thought that you were made of something stronger" was turned into a song for the live adaptation, the song was called made of stone, it would probably make a good reaction video 😁
Oh I really loved that line. Is the song good in your opinion I might consider listening to it, but sorry to break it to you but i don't really react to songs mostly movies and sometimes shows.
@@LexisThoughts there is a video on YT showing that part of the musical
@@LexisThoughts And yes the song is phenomenal 👏😁
@@LexisThoughts th-cam.com/video/8gPLXUPv7Sg/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for letting me know
The lines at the beginning are from the medieval song Dies irae, and they’re in Latin.
Ok everyone has weighed in on Esmeralda's age here, I get it. Lot of people saying 16 was fine in 1444 (when the film is set), lot of people saying she is meant to look and be older in the Disney film. That's all fine, but. She's 20? Because it is based on the book, and in the book she and Quasimodo were essentially switched at birth. I am not gonna go into thatwhole other can of worms but yea. They are the same age, with only a few months difference. So even if they weren't switched at birth in the movie, we can assume the ages remain constant, and we know definitively that Quasi is 20 and the prologue happened 20 years prior. She's 20, guys.
Also, yes, EVERYONE hates the gargoyles. Yes, they are meant to straddle the line between imaginary and reality, showing us how isolated Quasi has been, but they were just terrible and annoying. The German adaptation and the more recent Broadway-hopeful adaptation both make it more clear they are imaginary or cut them altogether, I think.
Also also, I am personally offended by you not mention Paul Kandel's absolutely wild vocals as Clopin Trouillefou, the storyteller-narrator character, because that last note in the Bells of Notre Dame is- it's heart-stopping. What even- how did he- the PIPES on that man! I have a lot of Opinions about the character on the whole so that's just me.
Also also also. They're chanting in Latin. It's a Catholic church. All the Latin chanting are real hymns and such, and they all have meanings that tie into the scene. It's very cool.
Oh true i probably should've figured she is around 20 in the movie since she is supposed to be near quasi's age but then again i never knew the story before watching but yeah. Also i probably should've said something about the narrator's voice because i absolutely loved it when he sang the bells of notre dame that song made me completely invested in the movie.
@@LexisThoughts it's my all-time favorite movie and I was really happy watching your video! 💖🥰
thanks
During the Frollo song, when the Monks say that chant, "Mea culpa" it means, "Through my fault."
I don't quite know what they were singing at the beginning of the song, but I'm pretty sure they are honoring St. Michael and the Blessed Virgin Mary. (I'm Catholic and my brother's a priest and he told me this because we're both fans of this movie, haha)
well it's good that your brother was their to help you better understand the movie i was like very lost with some of the meanings, knowing just makes it feel like you can understand the movie and the concepts better.
My computer broke and i have had filming issues with two of the videos i filmed and planned on editing which is why i haven't posted in a hot minute. I have bought a new laptop and am hoping to fix the filming issues so i am hoping to have a new video soon.
OMG! Love High School Musical! Can't wait for your reaction! :)
Yay I am glad you are excited for it, I can't wait to film and edit it
Think this is dark
This is nothing compared to original Secret of NIMH
please watch and react to that
It is amazing and Mrs Brisby is the greatest female character and bravest character I have ever seen
Imagine a world so dangerous and a clinical anxiety panic attack having character having to do SO MANY courageous things
Do what you gotta do. You got this and all the best with your work
@@bonfyre4711 secret of Nihm is brilliant and I adore it
The archdeacon is voiced by David Ogden Stiers, the same man who voiced Cogsworth in Beauty & the Beast.
Also, after the Notre Dame fire, there was a drawing that went around of Quasimodo hugging Norte Dame. Did NOT need to see that drawing; I was fine until that moment.
Awww that's so bittersweet. I really should put beauty and the beast in my movie list
Wait, he was Cogsworth too? I knew him as Gov Ratcliff and as Jumba
that is so bitter sweet! I guess Quasimodo really loves his home! So sad now he has to leave it! He hast to leave his home because it burned down! I would just imagine him running away from his home before he got trapped in the fire. He is a literally running out and trying to find a safe place to hide until the time gets better. Until the timing of his home being rebuilt gets better. And I would imagine him very distraught that his home is being burned down and probably losing his mind! Over it because that was his home for his whole life!
That's the first question I asked-Why is the Arch Deacon making Frollo raise the baby? I wouldn't let him less than a mile from any child!
EXACTLY. you can understand my ager when he doesn't do anything to help quasi i mean he through him in hell and then is like oh it is so sad what is happening to him. SHAMEFUL
YES! 👏👏👏👏 That priest is as bad as Frollo. He KNOWS what happened to Quasi's mum and still lets her murderer raise her baby.
I think the Arch Deacon thought that raising that baby had to be Frollo's atonement for killing his mother on the steps of Notre Dame. He didn't care about what would be best for the child at all.
You said it reminded you of a Broadway musical; it is made into a musical (one of my favs) but somehow it didn't make it to b-way. Would 100% recommend listening to it (there is also a recorded version on youtube)
Yeah some people have recommended it to me i am considering checking it out.
Holy shit ! That was Belle this is my fav Disney movie and I never caught that lol
yeah I almost completely missed that glad I didn't because I would just get mad at myself while editing
The last thing I write, the way in which Frollo died is very allegorical, but the metaphor, although ironic, is very poetic and I love it
Yeah true I like that he died because the statue broke notre dame was like get tf of me
🎵Who is the monster and who is the man?🎵
I saw this movie as a kid and sang along every song including Hellfire lmao like I did w all other Disney movies, just having the time of my life. When I saw this again as an adult though, boy was it a whole ‘nother experience. And I still enjoy singing along to every song especially now that I understood what they (and the movie as a whole) meant.
the music is honestly amazing in this and makes you want to sing along every time. And knowing the meaning just makes it so much better. Also i love that line it has to be my favorite line of the whole movie "who is the monster and who is the man".
Please react to: " FERNGULLY"if you want pixies and saving nature. Its an old animated movie but its beautiful
sounds cool i'll think about it
Theory : frollo and mother gothel made a pact in highschool to lower the kids they kidnapped or kept to mentally torture's self esteem
Omg yes what if they even decided to make them marry each other i see that happening
The beauty of gold help the outcast is that the congregation is asking for fame, fortune and such while Esmeralda (even though she has little) ask for help for others...
I did notice that, like they were all in the church praying for themselves while quasi was being attacked and humiliated and esmeralda just wants the pain of her people to stop.
R.I.P. Tony Jay (1933-2006) Voice of Judge Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame an amazing and chilling performance singing Hellfire Judge Frollo He's Evil One of the best and most Darkest Disney Villains ever Judge Frollo He's really special and Tony Jay's voice was a part of it. ❤🖤💜🔥😢😭😢😢😢😭😢😢😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😢😢
It's one of the 2 darkest disney movies the other one being the black cauldron, it's also the only film of disney where the villain's motive is not greed or revenge but lust(btw I believe he was not only a judge but a preist). It touched on serious issues...but it was a very good film
Yeah i completely agree
Low-key disappointed we didn't get to see your reaction to the "Court of Miracles" song XD
Sorry i didn't really have much thoughts on it
It was molten lead used to repair and reseal the roof slates. Why there was so much of it the cathedral's front facade arches turned into fountains of molten metal for several minutes, which would require about thirty or forty times the amount needed to do the entire cathedral roof, I don't know. Why it was inside the main facade and not anywhere they could, you know, pour it onto the roof before it cooled, I don't know. How it all fit in that one big crucible, when such a large amount would fill that crucible a dozen or so times over, I don't know. Why it was all left burning and molten and ready to pour without any workers actually working the roof, I don't know. Why none of the soldiers bothered to try using the two other main doors to either side of the cathedral, on the ends of the 'arms' of the cross it forms, I don't know. But it is damned cool as a visual, so I'll forgive it.
Lmao yeah movies don’t always make logical sense
i didn't see anyone mention it in a quick scroll, but when the choir is singing "dies irae, dies irae" in the beginning, that's the ancient chant of death. it's used in tons of movies, it's been around since the 1500s. it was first used to signify the death of christ if i'm not mistaken. you may not know it by name, but i promise you've heard it before in tons of movies! it's even in lion king!
Really it is in the lion king i didn't even Notice, thanks for letting me know. Also glad you took a quick scroll before commenting a lot of people are just commenting the same thing.
@@LexisThoughts yes it's in the lion king! the first four notes play when simba and nala are being chased in the elephant graveyard. it's also in nightmare before christmas in "making christmas" sort of signifying they're killing christmas instead of making it lol. once you know it, you find it everywhere! it's so ingrained in the musical lexicon that even if you don't off hand know exactly what the dies irae is, the music tells you something bad is going to happen thanks to all the build up of hearing it over and over associated with other terrible things happening. if you're interested i think the creator sideways has a couple videos where he talks about it and cites some examples here on youtube! glad i could share a little knowledge and not just comment the same as everyone else, lol. loved the reaction as well.
@@pasaniusventris4113 oh cool thanks for letting me know
GUUURL YOU SAID NOTRE “DAMN” 😭🤣
I rewatched a bunch of older Disney movies throughout quarantine, and my favorite scene is 1000000% Esmeralda’s solo in the church. Which was yours?
Quasimodo breaking out of his chains and swooping down to save esmeralda
I was actually NOT scared of “Hellfire” when I was little. When I listened to it, I was focusing my attention on the spirit and how did the spirit magically appear in the fireplace.
I remember pretending to be the spirit by dancing around my playroom with my giant blanket, just to have fun with the song.
Lmao that’s hilarious it would probably be fun to dance like the spirit
I am glad you enjoyed Hunchback. One of my favorite Disney movies for sure.
Yeah it’s now on my top 5 Disney animated movies
The book is extremely dark and even sadder. It was by Victor Hugo, who also wrote Les Miserables.
There’s only two good characters in the book, and here we got many
Only two good characters? Well i better prepare myself to be disappointed in everyone.
@@LexisThoughts by good, I mean morally good. Everyone else are terrible human beings. It makes you so angry and sad. It’s a bit happier here cause they made a few of the bad characters morally good. But the disney version is still dark!
i wonder how worse they can get i'm curious.
If you liked this, listen to the off-Broadway version! I would argue that it's better in every way, but Michael Arden and Patrick Page absolutely CRUSH it in their performances as Quasimodo and Frollo
yeah i am planning to in the future
Quasimodo was my first tv crush and this hurt my feelings. I knew he liked her but I was okay with her because she was cool and nice to him. But I felt so hurt for him.
That's the best mindset when having a crush
3:57 yeah they really looks like the weeping angels!
IKR, felt like i couldn't blink when looking
5:15 in the movie, the gargoyles might be somehow magically or spiritually moving (since at one point, the gargoyles are actually fighting the soldiers and are actually able to hurt them and right before frollo dies, he sees the gargoyle move) but in the original book, the gargoyles are more like his imaginary friends.
"Notre Damn" 😂😂 now that's a clickable title lol
OMG i didn't even notice i spelled it wrong i am embarrassed now. But true great title
Please react to The Prince of Egypth, I'm sure you're gonna love it! PS: Thank you for skiping the Gargoyle's song xD
Oh i love that movie and your welcome
FINALLY! Somebody else who's reacting to this glorious ol' movie!
I'm glad you enjoyed the fact that i did a reaction to this movie
The lyrics are Latin. The Catholic church spoke Latin and Frollo was with the church hence the lyrics and church music.
Her: “burn the city to the ground? You’re over dramatic.”
Frollo: “no im not”
*Literally burns the city moments later*
God Frollo is so realistic and the most evil Disney villain I’ve ever seen.
Lmao yep that’s basically what happened
"Snow White looked older."
💀 Snow White was actually 14 years old in the Disney version
Yeah I know right it’s crazy
The god help the outcast scene gave me chills, so beautiful
This movie has actually been adapted into a musical. Unfortunately it hasn't made it to Broadway for some reason, but it's so beautiful. It took a lot more of the darker subjects from the original Victor Hugo novel and the gargoyles are very much toned down and not in the show much. So they're not annoying👍27:10 that great line was build into an amazing song(Made of stone) one of my favorite songs in the show👏
yeah i am hoping to check out the musical in the future
My fav Disney movie underrated! Glad you watched it.
Another amazing underrated animation is “Anastasia” it’s not Disney but it’s incredible! Glad you took my recommendation and glad to see your channel get attention.
Anastasia is dark and a lot of people aren’t reacting to it right now either !
Thanks for sharing!! I'm glad you enjoyed my video on the hunchback of Notre dame, your recommendation to watch this movie came at the perfect time I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I feel like I am watching myself watch this movie 😆😆 I loved how dark Frollo was but at the same time wanted to see him fail 🤭
I’m glad you enjoyed my commentary, I thought I was weird for cheering on frollo but hoping he would fail. Glad to know I’m not alone.
@@LexisThoughts Hahaha its not weird at all. That's how you know Frollo is a great villain.
True
YOURE SO UNDERRATED!? LIKE WHAT!!
lol glad you think so
One of my favorite disney movies, the story, the music, the characters, etc. are amazing.
I always cry every time i watch it.
I know right it is so good
