Even after they "Disney-fied" the original story, it's still the darkest Disney animated movie and I remember reading that the Disney film barely kept it's G rating because of some of the themes in it. To this day it's still one of Disney's most underrated films.
Have you seen The Dark Cauldron? It's the darkest Disney movie marketed for kids I've ever seen. Hunchback is definitely underrated, I agree with you there
I really enjoyed your telling of the differences of the two. Funny how even with Disney cleaning up the racier bits, the animated movie is still not for the kiddies, without Mom and Dad explaining a bunch of stuff.
Uhm..how is it not for kids??? The disney version????? My parents didn't have to explain anything to me and this movie is still one of my favorites and severely underrated. Truly not understanding how it's not for kids when all of us grew up watching this as kids. I guess kids today really aren't the same. The entire premise of the Disney version is how far evil people will go but justice will always prevail, so how is that not for kids?
@@OGamerGirl92 I agree! I was always left to “fend for myself” because my mom always had to take care of my younger autistic brother and my stepfather wasn’t exactly a caregiver outside financial needs. And my real dad was half a continent away. So my mom used the TV as a babysitter. But I never had to have anything explained to me
My parents didn’t need to explain anything to me. You don’t give kids enough credit foe figuring stuff out. Their questions, if any, require actual answers, not explain way…I mean, explanations
I read the books it’s pretty dark as a gothic novel Disney tends to clean up stories but this one was still pretty dark even though it changed a lot it still manages to be dark and I would love to see a faithful live action adaptation
Actually, aside from Disney, there have been a number of adaptations of the book. Including one released the following year, starring Mandy Patinkin, Richard Harris and Salma Hayek.
i had heard the most of the disney films come from old tragic book stories. in colllge i was required to take 18 century english, where i read old stories for my English degree and when i read the stories i couldn't help think how could i turn the current story i was reading at the time into a diney film lol
Frollo was old enough to adopt Quasimodo when Esmerelda was an infant. Quasimodo is 4-5 years older than her as well. Phoebus is probably closer to Frollos age and Esmeralda is *16* It's all kinds of creepy. Also even after her death, she is picked up and held by Quasimodo despite rejecting him. Then her husband ran off with her goat.
You’re an ignorant. It’s called Romanticism. She was at the verge of being a woman, and an allegory to men’s belligerence. Also, in the Disney version, she’s much older.
@@dritzzjoney or you could look at it as we now understand, that life expectancies for women were decimated by not allowing their bodies to mature before forcing them to bear children.
After the heartbreaking fire that very nearly destroyed the Notre Dame cathedral, I was considering buying the book for my Kindle at one point. After seeing this video, I am SOOOOOO GLAD that I didn’t do so!!! Ironically enough, it was actually Victor Hugo’s novel that saved the cathedral from being demolished in the late 19th century due to diminishing tourism. Amazing how a really “dark and twisted story” can actually save a treasured landmark
It is a very dark and twisted novel. It became a bestseller of its day, and yes, inspired the preservation of Notre Dame. Maybe someday you will be able to read the actual novel "Notre Dame" by Victor Hugo. There are a few other characters that are understandably left out of the Disney movie. You may like the 1939 movie. It is darker than Disney's as it is not made for children, but is closer to the novel. It too leaves some of the darker elements out.
Yes it's tragic, but it is a very beautiful, dark novel. My favorite novel of all time. I first read it when I was 18 or 17 and I am still touched by it.
Though I a;ways loved the movie and when the Disney movie came out I got most of the merchandise still got it my interest in the movie peaked again and I dug out all my old toys and books and dvd watched the movie other day and as I type this I can see my Quasi and Esmeralda Barbie looking at me from their shelf
I love the movie! It really tones down the horrific aspects of the book. But it keeps just enough of them that it works. Plus Quasimodo is accepted as who he is!!
as a gipsy myselfe i love this story in the book and in disney's movie because it shows somehow my people's story how hated we were in the world and esmeralda's story is very close to what my people have been throu in greece italy france and spain in these times
I’m so sorry how your people were treated it’s so wrong as a small child i remember the Gypsies camping in a feild near our houses and me and few other kids would play with them I let one girl have a go on my bike whist i played with her dog and my parents flipped out they were so nasty i started crying and the girls mum was like don’t worry yourself love dry your eyes we get this all the time I hate racism
@anneshields2010 yeah it's like that in my country Bulgaria we are the most hated and we are experiencing a lot of racism but we are always kind and helpful and always trying to look in the good side of life and thank you a lot ❤️❤️❤️
In the Disney is also touching, especially when she defended Quasy from the crowd and also her song. She is a deep character in the cartoon too, i would say even deeper than in the original (in the original was more an average teen with a crush, added some compassionate acts and fierceness) with her social consciousness.
@@Zivanovaable I do think she's touching in the Disney version, but in a different way. The Disney version is someone you look up to. Original is someone you want to hug and protect. However, I think the original Esmeralda has this vulnerability that makes her very endearing. She's so vulnerable and precious that her author decided in his self-adaptation to give her a happy ending. Novel Esmeralda, because she has other relations that aren't romantic and are more platonic (the Duke of Egypt and Gudule), hopes and dreams, you do care about her more as a character.
@@Lilas.DuveteuxI agree. In the movie she’s more mature and wise, but in the book she’s still strong and likeable (especially considering the other characters). Also it’s more realistic that a teen in the medieval era would’ve been like that compared to the film. Her death is very sad and really drives the anti-clerical/anti-monarchical message Hugo goes for. But I liked how Quasimodo stays by her till the end. Even in the depraved world of this story where everyone wanted to use this girl, someone truly loved her.
You know, I came up with a theory. 'Notre-Dame' means 'Our Lady' in French. So 'Notre-Dame de Paris' means 'Our Lady of Paris', which ofc means the cathedral, but can it also stand for Esmeralda, the lady who every man in Paris wants? In Hugo's book the cathedral is described as something pure, divine and beautiful, but disrespected by the city. Most characters in the book are... depraved. But who's described as pure and beautiful? Esmeralda, who's disrespected by the city. Who's responsible for the church's mistreatment? The clergy and the government. Who mistreats Esmeralda? The government and archdeacon Frollo. There's more. The book says that Notre-Dame has kept gothic architecture alive, and with the cathedral withering away gothic architecture is also dying. Now people, who do we think of when we think gothic? Gargoyles. Gargoyles are big and scary-looking. Who else is big and scary looking? Quasimodo, who dies with Esmeralda. The story is not something separate from the 'save Notre-Dame' theme, it is an allegory for it.
The fact book had a Priest chase after a 15-year-old girl and Disney went "Nah lets make him a Judge to show goverment is worst with kids instead. Don't want those Chruch goers burning Mickey dolls at the Disney store again
You left out Pierre, the guy she pitty marries and then won't let him touch her because she's in love with Phoebus. Also, it's No-truh Dahm, not No-ter Dayme.
@@alan_ancy There is always someone that truly loves you. It’s not really something some people have. It’s just a fact there will always be someone who truly loves you. Although it’s not known sometimes, but it’s there. /lh
This is the most real life movie I saw and loved, even if it was very sad. It was also the one that got me thinking there s a lot in this world to protect myself from, but also a lot of interesting things to experience. Made me think about choices, it s one of my favourites places because of this story.
I remember going to the movie theaters as a little kid, there were movies I remembered seeing there, but they were only in parts. This was the first movie I remembered seeing in its entirety at the cinema. I was 4.
If you're talking about in the movie, I'm sure she found Quasimodo abandoned or something like that. You can tell she had a caring heart to protect in just the brief few moments you see her. I suspect Disney intentionally made her and Esmeralda dress how each did to show they both have a caring heart to look after the outcast without giving his mother a whole lot of back story into her character and how she found him. Sometimes we don't need a back story because we can piece it together with the information we are given and then other times a back story is needed to fully understand someone's motives.
It’s was a nod to the original story of how originally Quasi was given to her mother and she was stolen when swapped…. Same with her death nods to parts of the book
@@whitevine9544I don't think she found Quasimodo. I think she's his real mother. Children don't always have to look like their parents to be their child.
@@sofiastern1653 true, but the man told her to shut the baby up and that may have been her husband. Without the writers ever coming out in saying what the story is, we can only put what we think into it. After seeing people say they think she wasn't his biological mother, I have to agree. It makes sense that in the movie that the people most hated are the most caring, well at least some of the women in the story from what we see.
I think even Quasi’s mom adopted him he’s certainly not Romani he’s fair skin blue eyed redhead I think his birth mom abandoned him because he was deformed and that kind gypsy woman adopted him and planned to raise him as her own
As a kid, I read the kid's classic version of the book, and when I finally watched the movie as a teen, I was actually disgusted with the movie ending. I felt sad when I read the end about the two skeletons fused together and the workers couldn't pry them apart. Though I did love watching the movie all the same. But I haven't read the book as an adult yet...🤔
I personally prefer the Disney. It was dark enough to be interesting, but not depressing like the book. Esmeralda was more likeable and interesting in the animated. She got more personality, social consciousness, and she is an actual Romani. In the book was just a plain naive girl and pretty infantil. That she came out white has a disgusting message. It tells a girl can be good, with moral and attractive just if she isn't Romani. 😕
Honestly I found the book kinda boring. Esmeralda and Quasimodo aren’t that likable in the book so when they died I didn’t feel sad when they died. The movie definitely made Esmeralda and Quasimodo a lot more likable and relatable.
Reminder that Victor Hugo never intended this story to be a fairytale. It is a very grounded and realistic fairytale parody. It was more of an excuse for him to write something taking place in the notre dame cathedral and describe its architectural treasury, something he admired a lot. Disney really did him bad, ignoring the point of the novella and making it into a stereotypical fairy tale. I am kinda glad he wasn't alive to see that movie.
The best version of all is the 1939 one with Charles Laughton. Commentators have said, 'If Laughton doesn't break yr heart, you haven't got one." Others have said 'It's one of the greatest and bravest performances ever." Laughton was considered one of the greatest of actors.
Me when I turned 11) mum gave it to me as a birthday gift. I read it straight away and I'd never been so shocked by a book before. It didn't help that afterwards I chose to read "The Man Who Laughs" to see if the author gave his heroes a happy ending at least in that book😅
I love the real story. There is a very beautiful musical (i think only in french and italian though), that keeps the story similar to the book. It's called Notre Dame de Paris from Riccardo Cocciante
It's funny how we're more phased by it when we grow up than when we were kids. It's probably because as kids we don't realize just how dark it is, how scary the power imbalance between Frollo and Esmeralda is, how truly horrible is Frollo's ableism towards Quasimodo and what his desires towards Esmeralda actually are. I recently watched it again and I was a lot more scared by it now than when I was little.
I read that in the Disney movie Esmeralda is born Romaine raised by Clopin after her parents died and she was given the goat by him too and also she’s in her early 20s and very independent much older than her years
I think you meant it the other way around. "Strong women are the bane of weak men". The way it is worded is showing that weak men can stop strong women.
just ruined my fav book growing up. i loveddd Esmerelda soooo much.. but some how knew her life was like this JUST AINT WAT IT TO BE TRUEEEEEE. but thissss THIS IS BLASPHAMY
@@specterman2000 I was talking about Laughton. Laughton always wanted to play Quasimodo but it was disastrous. It is Quasi (no pun intended) impossible to play Quasimodo after Lon Chaney. I am only talking about interpretation.

I thought it was a great novel when I read at 6yo. Disney has cornered the market on Waterdown Fairytales and novels. I'm sure if they ever do a Dickens novel, it will end with children being adopted, somehow, by rich happy families too.
That’s kind of the purpose of Disney tho. To give these stories that are originally heartbreaking in nature new life and happily ever afters. I truly have always admired Disneys approach to handlings stories like the grimms fairytales and the like.
@@purevenus6359 I don't agree that Disney thinks that way but, sure. I just prefer to hear the original story and I've always been that way. To each their own. I've tried to get my daughter into Disney but she likes Pixar. Youngins...🙄🤣 Maybe one day she'll watch the Little Mermaid with me. Im glad for the remakes simply because theirs more character development and Disney added music. It is cute. But they would totally do that to a Dickens story if they ever did one. 😆 It would be pure comedy to me. 😆
I read Notre Dame de Paris for my NAB (high school assessment). Got an A lol. But I read it in English except I think it had a French copy of the preface and blurb maybe - which is mandatory as it was for English class. Not that I'd be able to fully understand it anyway even if the school had a French copy 😂
Djali was a female. Also, Phoebus DID know there was someone else in the room, even if he didn't know it was Frollo. Frollo met Phoebus in the street disguised in a heavy black cloak and after trading a few threats, Phoebus relents because he needs money to pay for the room , as all of his money was spent on alcohol. He lets Frollo accompany him to the room where he's supposed to meet Esmeralda, and Frollo spies on them from a closet.
But It Was Too Late For Her To Awake But If We Put A POTC 3 Style Twist And Say She Was Taken Out To Sea And Was Laid To Rest And Quasimodo Would Also Get Closure By Laying Him To Rest Aswell
Nice video, but what irks me is how people pronounce Notre Dame. The one ending in (DAHM) is a cathedral in Paris famous for its hunchback, the one ending in (DAYM) is a university in Indiana famous for Rudy!
That movie always annoyed even as a kid. This could have been one of my favorites but now all I remember is that emeralda went for the handsome guy instead of the one who did everything for her. So annoying
Someone explained it once in a way that actually made sense. Going off of the movie version and not the book. If you think about it, Frollo lusted after/Wanted Esmeralda but he saw her as wicked, broken, something to be fixed. Quasimodo, Loved her fiercely but put her on a pedestal. To Goddess-like heights whereas Phoebus, saw her as an equal, and loved her for who she was and accepting her as a human able to make mistakes… I thought that was a pretty cool theory.
I dunno from this video febas or whatever his name is spelled like, doesn't seem like a creep. Just an unfaithful man. I mean she was 100% obsessed with him. Unless there's more to it of course

I don't , because I think Esmeralda doesn't deserved that fate. She was a kind soul. 😢 I prefer the Disney and the other movie adaptations in which she remains alive.
Jesus, how much of this video is "You're not gonna believe it", "You'll find out something bad about them", "Something's coming that's a big reveal!" Take away the plot bait and it'd be 2 minutes long...
The story is worse than the Disney… but at least they aren’t dead… what I mean by bad is the death and other things the story is nice but literally meaning bad as in you know… actually I give up explaining what I mean lol And I’ll still be able to eat lol
But it's not the same story. They didn't change a few details, they changed the whole mind of it. They made it more accessible to a lot of people who might be discouraged by a big book, but at what price?
@@veroniquelebeau2692 Not the same story, because of that they changed the title itself From Notre Dame de Paris to Hunchback of the Notre Dame. Here Quasimodo is the main character, in the book is Esmeralda (strictly after the cathedral itself). But it isn't damaged the book, they changed the story but kept close to the writers style. You can watch the Goodtimes animated movie, its pretty closer to the book. 😉
I remember seeing this film on DVD VIDEO disc (in BD Player). I liked Disney's version. Esmeralda as an Afro-American in Paris, and I remember she was one of the artists in the Circus, she drummed and danced and showed off her goat arts. She was dressed as a Gypsy fortune teller.
She was Gypsy (Rom) not Afro-American(why would she be Afro-American in 14-15th century France? Wouldnt she be just black?). Dont you dare americanize everything :D
Not all do. The Roma are not the only Gypsies there’s Hungarian gypsies & Irish travelers & multiple tribes & clans within each. My sisters dad was half Roma & he still had contact w his dads side growin up, he talked about it a lot
Roma are just one type of gypsy though. There are many types including Irish Travelers or "tinkers". Gypsy is just an all encompassing term. Calling all gypsies Roma is like calling all Europeans French. As for feelings of the term, that's more on a case by case basis. Pretty much every gypsy I've met preferred the term gypsy because it's more recognizable than Roma or Traveler.
There's a character named Fleur-de-lis?! 🤣🤣🤣 IDK about European French, but that sounds EXTREMELY weird to my French-Canadian ears (I'm technically American, but I have relatives in Canada still). That's like a Canadian being named "maple leaf."
This sounds like the most realistic love story to me. Proof that love, like any other emotion, is not so end all,all empowered divinity. Despite the fact society, likes to immortalize such a lie to use as shame, blame, & manipulation of the individual for sacrifice, & enslavement as something to be a noble cause.
Even after they "Disney-fied" the original story, it's still the darkest Disney animated movie and I remember reading that the Disney film barely kept it's G rating because of some of the themes in it. To this day it's still one of Disney's most underrated films.
Have you seen The Dark Cauldron? It's the darkest Disney movie marketed for kids I've ever seen. Hunchback is definitely underrated, I agree with you there

Without the writers ever coming out in saying what the story is, we can only put what we think into it. After seeing people say they think she wasn't his biological mother, I have to agree. It makes sense that in the movie that the people most hated are the most caring, well at least some of the women in the story from what we see.
I think even Quasi’s mom adopted him he’s certainly not Romani he’s fair skin blue eyed redhead I think his birth mom abandoned him because he was deformed and that kind gypsy woman adopted him and planned to raise him as her own
As a kid, I read the kid's classic version of the book, and when I finally watched the movie as a teen, I was actually disgusted with the movie ending. I felt sad when I read the end about the two skeletons fused together and the workers couldn't pry them apart.
Though I did love watching the movie all the same.
But I haven't read the book as an adult yet...🤔
I personally prefer the Disney. It was dark enough to be interesting, but not depressing like the book. Esmeralda was more likeable and interesting in the animated. She got more personality, social consciousness, and she is an actual Romani. In the book was just a plain naive girl and pretty infantil. That she came out white has a disgusting message. It tells a girl can be good, with moral and attractive just if she isn't Romani. 😕
Yup! That's the most dissapointing aspect to me. That she came out white at the end. 😒
that was my favorite part when she came out white
@@kellyregan2446 Why do you like it?
Honestly I found the book kinda boring. Esmeralda and Quasimodo aren’t that likable in the book so when they died I didn’t feel sad when they died.
The movie definitely made Esmeralda and Quasimodo a lot more likable and relatable.

Reminder that Victor Hugo never intended this story to be a fairytale. It is a very grounded and realistic fairytale parody. It was more of an excuse for him to write something taking place in the notre dame cathedral and describe its architectural treasury, something he admired a lot.
Disney really did him bad, ignoring the point of the novella and making it into a stereotypical fairy tale. I am kinda glad he wasn't alive to see that movie.
My son saw the movie and is obsessed with the cathedral, its history and its bells. Doesn't care about the characters. W for Hugo

The best version of all is the 1939 one with Charles Laughton. Commentators have said, 'If Laughton doesn't break yr heart, you haven't got one." Others have said 'It's one of the greatest and bravest performances ever." Laughton was considered one of the greatest of actors.
Finally someone stating the facts about thus disney show, because the book was really DARK
All original tales are really dark - Disney removes the morale for good guys always win and save the day
@@xejelah I hate this fact, because it was one of my favourite shows in my childhood but after reading the book I felt betrayed
I've read the book when I was 13 😅 It is dark, sad and tragic...
Me when I turned 11) mum gave it to me as a birthday gift. I read it straight away and I'd never been so shocked by a book before. It didn't help that afterwards I chose to read "The Man Who Laughs" to see if the author gave his heroes a happy ending at least in that book😅
I loved the original tale so much growing up. Disney kind of wrecked it for me.
I only watched this movie once because of how dark it was. 😳
I love the real story. There is a very beautiful musical (i think only in french and italian though), that keeps the story similar to the book. It's called Notre Dame de Paris from Riccardo Cocciante
saw it 3 times this year with the OG cast
Belle is one of the most beautiful songs in this world ngl
The original novel was so needlessly long winded, I gave up finishing it. Thanks for the summary.
Always loved this movie, even the silent film
It’s a very dark story but will always have a place in my heart ❤
Both stories are enrapturing
He light-hearted Disney, and the tragic og

Apparently? Not darker than the book. xD;
@@jade_ottsel Actually The Book Has A Tragedy Ending
Loved the Disney version sat and watched it with my middle granddaughter she's she was about seven, never phased her either
It's funny how we're more phased by it when we grow up than when we were kids. It's probably because as kids we don't realize just how dark it is, how scary the power imbalance between Frollo and Esmeralda is, how truly horrible is Frollo's ableism towards Quasimodo and what his desires towards Esmeralda actually are. I recently watched it again and I was a lot more scared by it now than when I was little.
I read that in the Disney movie Esmeralda is born Romaine raised by Clopin after her parents died and she was given the goat by him too and also she’s in her early 20s and very independent much older than her years
Weak men will always be the bane of strong women.
I think you meant it the other way around. "Strong women are the bane of weak men". The way it is worded is showing that weak men can stop strong women.
just ruined my fav book growing up. i loveddd Esmerelda soooo much.. but some how knew her life was like this JUST AINT WAT IT TO BE TRUEEEEEE. but thissss THIS IS BLASPHAMY
Hello from Maine. I'm you're 31 like on this video love Disney 💙 and universal and SeaWorld's parks 💙
No - truh Dohm. Noter Daym is a sports team. The cathedral is in France, and it's pronounced No-truh Dom.
🇺🇲Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame (🇲🇽Disney's El Jorobado De Notre Dame)
I actually preferred the 1939 version of "The Hunchback of Nortre Dame"!
With Charles Laughton as "the village idiot" ( dixit Orson Welles) ?
@@antoinemozart243 I thought Maureen O'Hara was a beautiful Esmeralda and I liked that ending better then the original one!
@@specterman2000 I was talking about Laughton. Laughton always wanted to play Quasimodo but it was disastrous. It is Quasi (no pun intended) impossible to play Quasimodo after Lon Chaney. I am only talking about interpretation.
I like that movie more than the original book. Just they should chose a black haired actress for Esmeralda, with that it would be perfect.
@@specterman2000 was beautiful just she didn't look as Esmeralda. Esmeralda was described as tanned girl and with black hair.

I thought it was a great novel when I read at 6yo. Disney has cornered the market on Waterdown Fairytales and novels. I'm sure if they ever do a Dickens novel, it will end with children being adopted, somehow, by rich happy families too.
That’s kind of the purpose of Disney tho. To give these stories that are originally heartbreaking in nature new life and happily ever afters. I truly have always admired Disneys approach to handlings stories like the grimms fairytales and the like.
@@purevenus6359 I don't agree that Disney thinks that way but, sure. I just prefer to hear the original story and I've always been that way. To each their own. I've tried to get my daughter into Disney but she likes Pixar. Youngins...🙄🤣 Maybe one day she'll watch the Little Mermaid with me.
Im glad for the remakes simply because theirs more character development and Disney added music. It is cute. But they would totally do that to a Dickens story if they ever did one. 😆 It would be pure comedy to me. 😆
I read Notre Dame de Paris for my NAB (high school assessment). Got an A lol. But I read it in English except I think it had a French copy of the preface and blurb maybe - which is mandatory as it was for English class. Not that I'd be able to fully understand it anyway even if the school had a French copy 😂
Djali was a female. Also, Phoebus DID know there was someone else in the room, even if he didn't know it was Frollo. Frollo met Phoebus in the street disguised in a heavy black cloak and after trading a few threats, Phoebus relents because he needs money to pay for the room , as all of his money was spent on alcohol. He lets Frollo accompany him to the room where he's supposed to meet Esmeralda, and Frollo spies on them from a closet.
I've always felt the original story as told here was an effective recrimination of the catholic church.
Disney really managed a tour de force in lalalanding this story in particular lol.
it seems like obsessive love is a huge theme in the hunchback of notredame
Whatever the reality is, the Hunchback of Notre Dame (animation) by Disney is based on folklore and fairy tales. Because that's what they're good at!
8:10 - [Spitting] - [Crowd Gasping]
I like the Disney version better
yeah yeah they turn to dust when they touch them....brilliant, love it.
But It Was Too Late For Her To Awake But If We Put A POTC 3 Style Twist And Say She Was Taken Out To Sea And Was Laid To Rest And Quasimodo Would Also Get Closure By Laying Him To Rest Aswell
Fun fact: Quazymotto is Esmarelda's brother. I mean the hunchbacks mom looks a lot like her.

Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 1 and 2 Is On Disney +
That movie always annoyed even as a kid. This could have been one of my favorites but now all I remember is that emeralda went for the handsome guy instead of the one who did everything for her. So annoying
**indeed.. what a bish**
Someone explained it once in a way that actually made sense. Going off of the movie version and not the book. If you think about it, Frollo lusted after/Wanted Esmeralda but he saw her as wicked, broken, something to be fixed. Quasimodo, Loved her fiercely but put her on a pedestal. To Goddess-like heights whereas Phoebus, saw her as an equal, and loved her for who she was and accepting her as a human able to make mistakes… I thought that was a pretty cool theory.
@Kate oh I do like that theory I've never thought about it in that way but it does make sense actually. Thanks :)
I feel bad for her because Frollo is like a horrible person to get what he wants from her.
Frolo being arch deacon would actually make more sense for his character...but I think Disney didn't want to alienate the christian audience lol.
Even if it's not correct like the book...I love the Hunchback of Notre Dame it's my all time favourite Disney movie!
I dunno from this video febas or whatever his name is spelled like, doesn't seem like a creep. Just an unfaithful man. I mean she was 100% obsessed with him. Unless there's more to it of course
The Disney version is not for kids either
Everyone wants to put their chef's spoon in someone else's soup nowadays and call it original
I love the book, and I’ve eaten fine since reading it multiple times 😂

Victor Hugo does not care if it is too "dark" for his readers. His novels are over your head. Keep watching Disney and be placated.
Where can you buy the book from.probably hard to get hold of now.i do like a good read
can i get a shout out in your next video i recently subscribe and i really enjoy youre videos
What If Esmeralda Was Still Alive YES She May Have Survived Due To A False Issue And God Punished Frollo And Rewarded Quasimodo And Esmeralda By Being Reincarnated So They Can Be Together
I would have liked it better if it stuck with the orginal
I don't , because I think Esmeralda doesn't deserved that fate. She was a kind soul. 😢 I prefer the Disney and the other movie adaptations in which she remains alive.
Why?
then it wouldn't be for kids and the studio can't make millions off the merchandise
Jesus, how much of this video is "You're not gonna believe it", "You'll find out something bad about them", "Something's coming that's a big reveal!"
Take away the plot bait and it'd be 2 minutes long...
Hunchback Of Notre Dame by HBO
I don't like the way they changed the movie story. I well know the real story. Just leave my stories alone already!
The story is worse than the Disney… but at least they aren’t dead… what I mean by bad is the death and other things the story is nice but literally meaning bad as in you know… actually I give up explaining what I mean lol
And I’ll still be able to eat lol
I think the same. I hate the books ending. I prefer the Disney movies ending.
Could we please move on to the year 2023 and say Roma& Sinti instead of gypsy?
To me disney version is the real one to me.
I also prefer the Disney. They upgraded Esmeraldas character a lot, and the ending is better.
most dinsey stories come from very tragic stories
But it's not the same story. They didn't change a few details, they changed the whole mind of it. They made it more accessible to a lot of people who might be discouraged by a big book, but at what price?
@@veroniquelebeau2692 Not the same story, because of that they changed the title itself From Notre Dame de Paris to Hunchback of the Notre Dame. Here Quasimodo is the main character, in the book is Esmeralda (strictly after the cathedral itself). But it isn't damaged the book, they changed the story but kept close to the writers style. You can watch the Goodtimes animated movie, its pretty closer to the book. 😉
I remember seeing this film on DVD VIDEO disc (in BD Player). I liked Disney's version. Esmeralda as an Afro-American in Paris, and I remember she was one of the artists in the Circus, she drummed and danced and showed off her goat arts. She was dressed as a Gypsy fortune teller.
She was Gypsy (Rom) not Afro-American(why would she be Afro-American in 14-15th century France? Wouldnt she be just black?). Dont you dare americanize everything :D
Jipsy evil
Yt people are so evil
lets go
The politically correct word for gypsies is "Romani." 🤓
The Romani people don't like the term of gypsies because it has a negative contention. 🤓
Not all do. The Roma are not the only Gypsies there’s Hungarian gypsies & Irish travelers & multiple tribes & clans within each. My sisters dad was half Roma & he still had contact w his dads side growin up, he talked about it a lot
It depends on the individual. Some embrace the term and use it, some despise it.
Roma are just one type of gypsy though. There are many types including Irish Travelers or "tinkers". Gypsy is just an all encompassing term. Calling all gypsies Roma is like calling all Europeans French. As for feelings of the term, that's more on a case by case basis. Pretty much every gypsy I've met preferred the term gypsy because it's more recognizable than Roma or Traveler.
They use gypsy to refer to themselves. Only you Americans find the term offensive
There's a character named Fleur-de-lis?! 🤣🤣🤣
IDK about European French, but that sounds EXTREMELY weird to my French-Canadian ears (I'm technically American, but I have relatives in Canada still). That's like a Canadian being named "maple leaf."
This sounds like the most realistic love story to me. Proof that love, like any other emotion, is not so end all,all empowered divinity. Despite the fact society, likes to immortalize such a lie to use as shame, blame, & manipulation of the individual for sacrifice, & enslavement as something to be a noble cause.
