There is one good thing I can say about this movie: I like how they don't show Quasimodo's face until it's revealed at the festival. It puts the audience in the same shoes as the characters reacting to it, which works better to teach the lesson. Of course, they proceed to botch it horribly, but I like that one part.
When he fell off the balcony I said jokingly to myself "what he can fly or something", then I proceeded to bang my head on a table for three minuets when it actually happened.
i literally said outloud : "what? is he an angel or something" needless to say i banged my head on the wall for hours. i am dizzy and suffer from short term memory lost. and i suffer from shortt term memory lost.
that made me laugh. Yeah he can fight because he’s an angel he’s not a bird man but an angel. he is a fighter and he can fly to now apparently. I wish Disney would’ve put this twist in their movie that would be fun! I like this idea. I’m keeping it. As another interpretation of the story that we all thought we knew.

The Dingo Version actually got that part right. Interestingly, none of these cartoon versions have both Pierre and Phoebus.Gee, I guess it may not be such a good idea to make kid's films out of novels by people who viewed humanity as utter filth.
This is probably my favorite Phelous video, the writing’s great. “If it’s ugly you like, my sweet, you’ll love my penis,” and “I’d give him my heart, seal it with a fart” are classics lol
I love that they just throw the Gypsies under the bus in this adaptation. In the original book they're mostly beggars, pickpockets, and street performers, but it's evident from the test that's its the only they can survive given how they're viewed and treated by "normal" Europeans. Still, they clearly have their own code of ethics they follow, and are decent and loyal to you once you've been accepted into their group. Even the infamous "Court of Miracles" scene is meant to be the Gypsies' parody of the outright corruption of the Real Legal courts of medieval France which we see in the latter parts of the book. Here they're just outright bad guys, which makes it all the more confusing since Esmeralda is essentially a Gypsy herself.
Actually...the Hunchback being some kind of fallen angel sounds like a badass story if told in the right way,...of course, here, was not what we got. ;n;
Is it wrong that I find Frollston's attitude kind of funny at times? Just the way he delivered that "You'll do, holy father" line and even that "My first wife" joke?
+chimerschang I actually also got a smile out of Frolloston's villain song. He just sounds like he's having a blast with his entire performance, which is why he's the only legitimately likeable thing about this.
+Micah Hirsh You might be onto something there. I only know Harnell as Wakko from Animaniacs, so I don't know the full range of his voice (the way I know, say, Rob Paulsen's voice), but it does sound similar.
When you said the secret was coming as he was falling, I had two guesses: one, he would be revealed as an angel with wings, or two, he would smash on the ground and turn out to be a beautiful person inside. I'm not sure which theory was dumber, but the important thing is that one of them came true.
Maybe he was left there to teach the people not to be judgmental about appearance, but he didn't know he was an angel, so I dunno about that. Maybe he's half angel? Angels as described in the Bible are pretty fucking crazy looking, so it could also explain his appearance. We're spending more time thinking about this than the filmmakers did. We should totally write speculative/AU fanfiction for movies like these.
I guess Quasimodo is an angel quite literally and figuratively! I love it! I love how he doesn’t realize that he is until the very end of the story. Turns out the story is not quite what you were told. He is angel. And it fits his personality.

PyroGothNerd they weren't exactly bestest buddies in the book like here though, think it's more that he runs off with Esmeralda figuring "if he's dead I've got a better chance"...yeah this story doesn't work being adapted for children
"No. It is not a bone." Then what is it? Wings? What, does he have a pair of angel wings just hiding in that hunched back of his? *6 minutes later* ...You gotta be kidding me.
You know, if they allowed Quasimodo to die in this version it would have been a really powerful bittersweet ending. Yeah he dies, but he sacrificed his life to save his friends and he leaves the Earth knowing he is loved... Or might've been worse I dunno.
17:18 " There is only one Esmerelda, and that blimp on stage is not her ". This movie is such an accurate representation of 1400's France, when fireworks, jazz music, blimps, and electric keyboards were all the rage.
wait, healed somebody? How did I not notice! How did I not notice that he healed somebody! He has magical powers! Healing powers at that! Now he kind of reminds me of Rapunzel from tangled. Because in tangled Rapunzel also had powers which came in her hair. And could heal. Well, I guess Quasimodo’s came from his hands instead maybe. Or at least I assume it was his hands. Now Rapunzel and Quasimodo could be friends lol. Just saying. If you want to make the story more magical go for it.
I remember my grandma had The Secret of Mulan as some of her VHS tapes for me. It was the only movie I recall watching once, and never again. My grandma was normally really good with finding the right movies. She had Lion King, Snow White, Land Before Time, Rescuers, Aristocats, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. She even got the right version of Mulan eventually! I have no clue how she ended up with Secret of Mulan, but luckily we never had to watch it again.
Mortilum It was actually in animated series in which the two of them were spies and had a robotic talking dog sidekick (I might have watched it once or twice...I didn't have cable, okay?)
+Aubbie_Chan The funny thing for me was how Phelous said it's a lot to take in, my video got stuck buffering just as the wings were revealed. It's almost as if my wireless was so awestruck at how stupid it is that it refused to load beyond that point! =P
it certainly is the least bad I guess. But you wanna know what adaptation I found was really good, the Disney version the Disney version was so good! But that one was more epic in action packed, this one was more whimsical and magical. If you’re looking for something more magical watch this if you’re looking for something more adventurous with lots of action go for the Disney version. Just saying. These are both good adaptations in their own way.
@@Roadwarior2I never saw that one but since Frollo is such an evil and sinster character, I thought that the villian in the sequel looks like a pathetic Frollo mark 2.
if he’s not a bird man and not an angel then, what is he? An ex man? I don’t get it! I don’t know if he’s an ex man! I’m sure an ex man is dangerous not dangerous but different. But whatever he is he is pure and kind! And sensitive. And he loves to play and sing and dance. And he loves bells and gargoyles.
Okay, who voiced Esmeralda in this? I swear whoever it is sounds like a strange mix of Jodi Benson and Paige O'Hara. Not a bad singer, but the songs, well...
I won't lie, these reviews of the bad Hunchback and Anastasia knockoffs got me interested in the Disney version of hunchback and the Bluth Anastasia , which I liked so much I am travelling to Stuttgart to watch the stage versions of them. So just wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
"it's funny these dark stories got adapted for children in the first place". That's why i'm waiting for you to do Good Times' rendition of The Little Mermaid. That has to be all kinds of amazing!
+fatjoe460 I was about to comment on that. After watching this vid I was thinking "Where have I heard that music before?" Hours later, "Oh! Puma Man!" He flies like a moron!
If I remember correctly, the Adventures in Odyssey video series was based upon a long running radio program of the same name. It does show that the animation was done by the same people, since some characters look like they belong in Odyssey, including Sheriff Frollo and all of the priests.
Two things that really made me laugh out loud were: At 22:45, when the guy disguised as the Archdeacon is revealed. Apparently the thing that reveals his identity is that, when the Archdeacon robe is removed, he's wearing different clothes -- he didn't disguise his face or wear a wig or anything. This implies that, if they saw the ACTUAL Archdeacon dressed slightly differently, they wouldn't recognize him, and would accuse him of being a liar if he claimed to be the Archdeacon. I know a lot of movie characters are really stupid, but these people haven't even mastered the concept of object permanence (e.g. when a person is wearing different clothes, they're still the same person). A simple game of peekaboo would blow their minds. And of course, the reveal that Quasimodo has angel wings. I mean, my god (or should I say, m'god?) that came out of nowhere. As I was watching the clip in the review, I was thinking: "Well, Quasimodo is hanging off the edge of the building, and they can't save him, but obviously they're not going to kill him off in a children's movie. I guess something could break his fall, or he could... no, obviously he's not going to fly, that's just stupid." But here we are. Having said all that: This is better, especially in terms of its animation, than, say, a typical Dingo movie or Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time. But that just serves to accentuate the stupid moments when they happen. A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes, or animation that's good enough to show Quasimodo sprouting wings. The Secret of the Hunchback of Notre Dame is right in the sweet spot where it's good enough that we expect better, so we can be shocked when these stupid things happen.
Yet saying bad things about Microsoft online(We all did it after our 3rd bluescreen of death) means you can't work at Microsoft? This is an unfair world.
+HORRIOR Yeah, his horror reviews can wear thin with how cliched the flicks can be. With bad cartoons, it can be too hilarious. Hope he gets to Goodtimes with their Little Mermaid and Jungle Book.
+HORRIOR Agreed. *PLEASE* don't ever stop reviewing these. Even when there aren't any left to review. I'll even fund Goodtimes/Goldenfilms to make more cartoons for Phelous to review.
You were playing the Pumaman theme but that plot twist was pure Cave Dwellers! I never would have thought that more than one movie would make the same baffling choice. Isn't the world so beautiful?
Hello, I'm a French student and I would like to tell you that you are one of my favorite youtuber ( with the Nostalgia Critic ). I want to thank you : you make me better in English ( vocabulary and grammar ). Sorry if I make some mistakes. Good luck for your other videos !
Maybe him growing wings like an angel at the end was symbolism for him dying and ascending to heaven? Like cus it's a kids film they didn't wanna show him actually die so they Interpreted it as him ascending to heaven? Maybe I'm giving a kids movie too much credit... I think they should have "Just let him die!"
I keep coming back to this review when I need something to watch while I’m reading/cooking/needing something to focus on. This along with Secret of Anastasia are perfect: great editing, funny jokes, and your voice is really nice! It’s not often I rewatch a video, especially not after three years.
I remember as a kid watching this Hunchback of Notre Dame animated series where Quasimodo didn't look so ugly, Esmerelda has a brother and Frollo was an evil sorceror. Also Quasi was good pals with the King of France and had a plot where he went to find his parents who have created the Philosopher's Stone.
The magic of the Puma flows through his veins. Let that be a lesson to everyone: Don't judge someone by their looks because they might be the Pyuumaman. Thepumayman.
So if Quasimodo has the power to heal and fly, does that mean his secret is that he's a mutant? If so, that would explain why the government wanted to get rid of him.
What the fuck was that?! Quasimodo was a fucking angel?! Next thing your gonna tell me is that the Phantom of the Opera is a Mock Turtle!! Or the Elephant Man is a bloody Hippogriff!!
+IndianaJonesfans09 Next they'll say Frankenstein's really a puppy dog, Medusa was a butterfly in disguise, Dracula is a walking diamond, and the Jabberwocky is a magic carpet. Oh the stupid ideas they could create.
I finally got your joke, Phelous! When you mentioned it stupid if "they drained Quasimodo and put a brace on him to make him normal", they actually did that in the recent movie Victor Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe. Nice!
I gotta give the movie a little bit of credit; at least the creators took a page from the Disney version and didn't make Quasimodo here act/sound like he has a mental deficiency, unlike all the other Hunchback movies Phelous has reviewed so far. No, I'm not counting the Handsome of Notre Dame.
The Handsome "Hunchback" of Notre Damn? (From Golden Films?) Yeah, I agree. That was probably even worse than Dingo's adaptation in terms of the story! 😬
@@cameronbosch1213 i actually had that version of the Hunchback as a kid (Golden Films not Dingo) so needless to say i was thrilled when Phelous reviewed it XD Here's hoping he covers The Jungle King at some point
@RyushuSuperCat Oh hell, Golden Films made some bad films, although they made so passable ones, like their Aladdin adaptation (with Goodtimes). But then Golden Films releases their Hunchback adaption and it blows even the Dingo adaptation out of the water in terms of how bad it is...
Pretty much none of the film adaptations of the book are very accurate to the book. Probably because the book ends incredibly depressingly, and since most people want a slightly more happy ending to their movie pretty much all adaptations leave at least part of the cast alive at the end. (Usually Esmeralda, and she usually ends up with either Phoebus or Pierre Gringoire if the latter isn't left out of the story completely.) But even if none of the movies are accurate to the book, at least some of them did something with the idea and made a good movie. Can't say that for this version, though. I think the only good animated Hunchback movie I've seen is the Disney one.
+Snowy-snow The 80's Hunchback film by Burbank Animation isn't too bad either. Not accurate, yes, but it's still tons better than this 'take', just don't mistake it for the 90's remake from Burbank. THAT one is crap.
+Snowy-snow Yeah, the closest I think was the live action version from the 50s. People got pissy as Disney for it having a happy ending, but that's really nothing new. The famous 30s version with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara had a happy ending. But this isn't even close, 2% close if I am feeling real generous.
Tyler Bioshock R Personally, I don't mind. That none of the movies are accurate. It makes it easier to disconnect it from the book (which I love! ^^) and see the movies as their own story. That doesn't excuse some of them being absolutely horrible, though. I own a copy of the 30s version. Old fashioned, but really good in my opinion. The make-up on Quasimodo was really well-done. The 30s version actually had a slightly sad ending for Quasimodo. I mean, he lived at the end (as did Esmeralda) but he was pretty much left where he was at the beginning of the story: alone in the cathedral. And that last line he says to the gargoyle 'I wish I were made of stone like you' shows pretty well he's not exactly happy with his lot in life. Gosh... I should watch that version again. XD I forgot how much I liked it.
Snowy-snow Oh yeah, great version, not entirely happy, but its not the soul crushing ending of the book. Also the Disney version made the film a lot less, anti Church. Seriously, I get the impression he wasn't a fan of the Church. Not judging, I'm just saying, frankly I kinda liked what they did with that aspect in the 1996 version. We have a awful person motivated by religion, and a good guy in the form of the bishop who is nice. Good and bad representations of religion, I feel its a bit more balanced. Book is still amazing regardless, just buy some cheap whiskey before finishing it.
Tyler Bioshock R Victor Hugo was a very religious man. But he wrote 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' during a personal crisis of faith, that's why all these 'anti-church' things are in there. (I don't really care if he was religious or not, but it's an interesting little background fact. ^^ Personally, I actually think it's good he saw the bad things of the religion as well. I respect him for that, not all people can do that.)
+Tronathon242 Oh that's nothing, you should see the "secret" from their Anastasia knockoff. Spoiler alert: Her murdered family came back as talking musical instruments and have the power to resurrect the dead before their souls return to the afterlife. I'm not even remotely joking.
I watched the movie and i noticed a thing: the two priests tell us from the beginning that quasi is the sweetest and dearest and goodest person on earth. even after they whip him the archdeacon reminds him that someday people will see him as the person he is on the inside. the teeny tiny problem is: quasi never does ANYTHING to prove he's the sweetest dearest and goodest on earth. and making him heal a bird with his powers (!?) is obviously not enough. are we supposed to like a charachter just cuz other charachters tell us to? the disney quasi on the other hand really is the sweetest dearest and goodest on earth, and no one tells us to like him
Friends with rocks, reference to Phelous being a rock monster who misses his friends from Suburban Knights? So these guys helped make Phineas and Ferb? Ok. I guess that explains Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a hunched over loner who lives in a tower and it obviously (comedy) evil because he is so ugly. .
"Who does that make you think of?"
"My first wife."
Ok, THAT made me chuckle.

I like this Frollo to be honest.

There is one good thing I can say about this movie: I like how they don't show Quasimodo's face until it's revealed at the festival. It puts the audience in the same shoes as the characters reacting to it, which works better to teach the lesson. Of course, they proceed to botch it horribly, but I like that one part.
+CaptainJZH Shame that they put his face on the cover, tho... 8I
CaptainJZH I liked that too, even if they screwed up pretty much everything else.
and yet this is the best Hunchback movie he reviewed. So we can all be thankful we didn't get the twist with Esmermelody's movie.
I'm pretty sure it was more down to laziness than actual narrative thought or effect.
Dude that was official Jump Scare made me go wtf
Pierre: We will avenge you, my friend! **runs off*

“Certainly.”

I have no clue how she ended up with Secret of Mulan, but luckily we never had to watch it again.
It probably fooled your Grandma into thinking it was the real thing.
I've just had a 14 hr day of college tests and teaching before commuting home.
I shed tears of joy seeing this in my feed.
Thank you, Phelous ;_;
I love your profile picture.
"You might even get 7 minutes in heaven with deputy duck""I'm not really into that.""No one has ever turned down Deputy Duck"
"Mary-Kate And Ashley In Action"
Sounds like a Porn title.
Mortilum It was actually in animated series in which the two of them were spies and had a robotic talking dog sidekick (I might have watched it once or twice...I didn't have cable, okay?)
Vegeta: Too bad it's Sunday. People won't be able to sprout wings tomorrow.
He blew up the cargo gargoyle!
I literally sat there yelling "WHAT?!" at the wings, like seriously....WHAT
same
+Aubbie_Chan Maybe he grabbed a P-wing?
+Aubbie_Chan The funny thing for me was how Phelous said it's a lot to take in, my video got stuck buffering just as the wings were revealed.
It's almost as if my wireless was so awestruck at how stupid it is that it refused to load beyond that point! =P
+Aubbie_Chan I almost fell over laughing at that point
+Tareltonlives Yeah, characters randomly spawning wings isn't new to us. :P
The ending . . . the ending . . . THE ENDING. In the words of JonTron: 'WHAT. . . . WHAT THE FUCK!?'

because they werent already awful enough.
How sad is it that the adaptation where Quasimodo sprouts wings out of nowhere is the least bad of the mockbuster adaptaions?
TB Tabby I mean, as an idea for a twist, it ain’t half bad. 🤷🏼♂️
it certainly is the least bad I guess. But you wanna know what adaptation I found was really good, the Disney version the Disney version was so good! But that one was more epic in action packed, this one was more whimsical and magical. If you’re looking for something more magical watch this if you’re looking for something more adventurous with lots of action go for the Disney version. Just saying. These are both good adaptations in their own way.
And that includes Disney’s cash in sequel.
@@christianpaystrup4427There's gotta be something in that hump right?
@@Roadwarior2I never saw that one but since Frollo is such an evil and sinster character, I thought that the villian in the sequel looks like a pathetic Frollo mark 2.
Fucking lost it twice with this one. The avenge scene and that ending. Also he's not Birdman nor an angel. He's an X-Men.
I know this is 5 years late but there is a X-Men called Angel. So maybe he is Angel from X-Men.
if he’s not a bird man and not an angel then, what is he? An ex man? I don’t get it! I don’t know if he’s an ex man! I’m sure an ex man is dangerous not dangerous but different. But whatever he is he is pure and kind! And sensitive. And he loves to play and sing and dance. And he loves bells and gargoyles.
@@melissalayson7275 Maybe Mr Sinister turned him ugly...
He's an Aasimar from D&D.
Wait a minute...did that "Secret of Mulan" shot there have Mulan as a double centaur?
...what...
Best I can tell, she's a caterpillar. I started to watch The Secret of Mulan, and the main cast seems to be made entirely of insects.
Kohdok She's a bug....all the cast are bugs...for some reason.
This is why I prefer Disney version of mulan than the "secret of mulan" rip off
Angel Quasimodo suddenly seems a lot more plausible.
Andrew Ollmann They didn't want to be racist and fail at drawing Asians, so they did bugs.
Okay, who voiced Esmeralda in this? I swear whoever it is sounds like a strange mix of Jodi Benson and Paige O'Hara. Not a bad singer, but the songs, well...
I believe she is the same voice actress who voiced Odette in the Swan Princess 😊
I know it doesn’t credit her but it really sounds like her!
But, what else is there?
In Bird-culture, saving the hot girl and leaving the Hunchback to die is considered a "dick move."
I've got that reference!!!
In the book Pierre ditches both Quasimodo and Esmeralda to save THE GOAT!
“We will avenge you my friend,” and “He’s no great loss,” are two lines I really shouldn’t have 😂 so much at.
"That is NOT Esmerelda!" - Pierrelock! LMAO too good XD
I won't lie, these reviews of the bad Hunchback and Anastasia knockoffs got me interested in the Disney version of hunchback and the Bluth Anastasia , which I liked so much I am travelling to Stuttgart to watch the stage versions of them. So just wanted to thank you for inspiring me.
5 years late but are you also intreseted in the story of anastasia?
"SACRE BLEU THIS, BITCH!" Oh my god😂
"it's funny these dark stories got adapted for children in the first place". That's why i'm waiting for you to do Good Times' rendition of The Little Mermaid. That has to be all kinds of amazing!
"I will aveng you my friend(still alive" (runs) This part just broke me! XD
What about the Ending?!
Thomas Fredrickson
That was bizar as well. But this one was defenately the funniest just because of the logic.
+dricsi07 That one and the wings at the end made me crack up
+Tareltonlives I'm sure Twi would know. :P
That's right! She had a stupid "get wings" episode!
I can't believe Birdman ripped off this movie.
AceAttorny How so?
+CookieMastah
He was joking about how Birdman involves the imagery of a character using wings to fly through the city near the end as well.
Is that a film?
@@eleanorhogan8643Yes.
Honestly, a couple of the jokes in this movie weren't bad. That scene with the doctor asking for water and some of Gaston guys lines come to mind.
Red Bull gives you wings!
Note: Red Bull does not actually give you wings.

The real secret of the hunchback is that he keep a pile of porn magazines under his bed.
Frollo?
...Do you not?
Can you blame him? He was always alone. Have to pass the time somehow 😂😂
Love the Puma Man theme towards the end. More people need to watch that glorious movie :)
+fatjoe460 I was about to comment on that. After watching this vid I was thinking "Where have I heard that music before?" Hours later, "Oh! Puma Man!" He flies like a moron!
If I remember correctly, the Adventures in Odyssey video series was based upon a long running radio program of the same name. It does show that the animation was done by the same people, since some characters look like they belong in Odyssey, including Sheriff Frollo and all of the priests.
Hammer Man Yeah, it was based off a radio program, that's still running.
20:39 even in this version, Frollo still sings to his fireplace.
I'll take Hellfire over this any day.
Two things that really made me laugh out loud were:
At 22:45, when the guy disguised as the Archdeacon is revealed. Apparently the thing that reveals his identity is that, when the Archdeacon robe is removed, he's wearing different clothes -- he didn't disguise his face or wear a wig or anything. This implies that, if they saw the ACTUAL Archdeacon dressed slightly differently, they wouldn't recognize him, and would accuse him of being a liar if he claimed to be the Archdeacon. I know a lot of movie characters are really stupid, but these people haven't even mastered the concept of object permanence (e.g. when a person is wearing different clothes, they're still the same person). A simple game of peekaboo would blow their minds.
And of course, the reveal that Quasimodo has angel wings. I mean, my god (or should I say, m'god?) that came out of nowhere. As I was watching the clip in the review, I was thinking: "Well, Quasimodo is hanging off the edge of the building, and they can't save him, but obviously they're not going to kill him off in a children's movie. I guess something could break his fall, or he could... no, obviously he's not going to fly, that's just stupid." But here we are.
Having said all that: This is better, especially in terms of its animation, than, say, a typical Dingo movie or Aladdin and the Adventure of All Time. But that just serves to accentuate the stupid moments when they happen. A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes, or animation that's good enough to show Quasimodo sprouting wings.
The Secret of the Hunchback of Notre Dame is right in the sweet spot where it's good enough that we expect better, so we can be shocked when these stupid things happen.
"A Dingo movie doesn't have a plot that's coherent enough to have holes" is the best description of Dingo movies ever. xD
These guys would rival the Willy brothers from Home on the Range, in their lack of understanding object permanence.
My God never gets old for some reason
MY GOD your right
+Santoryu90 NO! It's "MY GAWD!!"
The movie or Phelous' commentary?
I can never hear Puma Man’s theme again without remembering this movie. Thank you Phelous, you spoil us.
Wait a sec, the animators that did Disney ripoffs are now working for Disney? LOL
Yet saying bad things about Microsoft online(We all did it after our 3rd bluescreen of death) means you can't work at Microsoft? This is an unfair world.
I wish Phelous will never stop reviewing these knock off cartoons :)
+HORRIOR Yeah, his horror reviews can wear thin with how cliched the flicks can be. With bad cartoons, it can be too hilarious. Hope he gets to Goodtimes with their Little Mermaid and Jungle Book.
+matt0044
Or he reviews ALL the rip offs of Beauty and the Beast, especially the one with the ugly son Old Man keeps killing.
+Tyler Bioshock R Thank you for seeing the beauty inside *dies*
+Gasoline85 HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
+HORRIOR
Agreed. *PLEASE* don't ever stop reviewing these. Even when there aren't any left to review. I'll even fund Goodtimes/Goldenfilms to make more cartoons for Phelous to review.
You were playing the Pumaman theme but that plot twist was pure Cave Dwellers! I never would have thought that more than one movie would make the same baffling choice. Isn't the world so beautiful?
Oh, so that's what Dex Dogtective meant by "The Secret's inside". It's inside the Hunchback!!
Hello, I'm a French student and I would like to tell you that you are one of my favorite youtuber ( with the Nostalgia Critic ). I want to thank you : you make me better in English ( vocabulary and grammar ).
Sorry if I make some mistakes.
Good luck for your other videos !
goddammit Phelous, the PumaMan music just about killed me. You always pick the perfect music to really elevate the scene. I love you man.
Maybe him growing wings like an angel at the end was symbolism for him dying and ascending to heaven? Like cus it's a kids film they didn't wanna show him actually die so they Interpreted it as him ascending to heaven? Maybe I'm giving a kids movie too much credit...
I think they should have "Just let him die!"
Then why did the priest say "At last they'll see you as you are. As you always were"?
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm a muthafuckin' gargoyle, bitch!" NEVER fails to make me chuckle.
Quasimodo didn't heal himself because his stand『Crazy Diamond』can only heal others.
Ah, a fellow cultured jojo fan
I keep coming back to this review when I need something to watch while I’m reading/cooking/needing something to focus on. This along with Secret of Anastasia are perfect: great editing, funny jokes, and your voice is really nice! It’s not often I rewatch a video, especially not after three years.
I remember as a kid watching this Hunchback of Notre Dame animated series where Quasimodo didn't look so ugly, Esmerelda has a brother and Frollo was an evil sorceror. Also Quasi was good pals with the King of France and had a plot where he went to find his parents who have created the Philosopher's Stone.
Lukethefox the fuuuuuuuuck?
I feel like I forgot how to understand English after reading that lmao
That series sounds like an absolute dumpster fire
*Manservant:* A monster creating panic and fear. Who does that make you think of?
*Frollo:* My first wife.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me: This movie?
♪ Puma Man! He flies like a moron! ♫
At least Quasimodo was an actual character in this one. Better than some of the other adaptations...
The magic of the Puma flows through his veins. Let that be a lesson to everyone: Don't judge someone by their looks because they might be the Pyuumaman. Thepumayman.
+Fiesta del Chorizo I knew that music sounded familiar! It was one of the first MST3K episodes I ever saw! xD
Because he is made of Earth, corn grows in him!
He has the power to rear project cities.
So if Quasimodo has the power to heal and fly, does that mean his secret is that he's a mutant? If so, that would explain why the government wanted to get rid of him.
He's an Aasimar.
Quasimodo:(crying) Yes! I can finally fly away from this piece of shit! Good bye, assholes!
LittleBlueTrain67 *then he turns and knocks Pierre off the cathedral*
Oro: "Wait for me, Quasimodo! Sciiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeence!!!"
I love it when you review bad animated movies.
If you watch the block of the railing that Frollo-Gaston breaks with his kick, it breaks away revealing the same block underneath it 24:09
+Lesbiwolf92
_Such quality animation!_
Will you review the other "Secret of" films and Young Pocahontas? Cause the last one needs to be torn to shreds!
You’re wish was granted my friend!
Young Pocahontas or as it should be called Pocahontas since she was Literally 12 in real life when this all happened.
Is it bad that I've watched these animated reviews over and over again? They're just too funny!
Nah I do it too
Clearly the guy calling himself "high sheriff" is an English spy.
"So--that's Gaston/Frollo's big plan here? Blackmail the church?"
What the fuck was that?! Quasimodo was a fucking angel?! Next thing your gonna tell me is that the Phantom of the Opera is a Mock Turtle!! Or the Elephant Man is a bloody Hippogriff!!
+IndianaJonesfans09 Well, they made the Phantom of the Opera into am Emo Sex God.....
Tareltonlives Yeeaah...
+IndianaJonesfans09 Next they'll say Frankenstein's really a puppy dog, Medusa was a butterfly in disguise, Dracula is a walking diamond, and the Jabberwocky is a magic carpet. Oh the stupid ideas they could create.
+IndianaJonesfans09
Actually, the Elephant Man is half-man and half-Heffalump. Bestiality FTW!!!
joyunicycle I know, right? Maybe the Hydra is actually a mutant turtle!
The Secret of the Hunchback is that he's Archangel from X-Men, he was also in the latest film joining forces with Apocalypse.
21:28 Thank God for the lion showing up. I've never heard such cringeworthy love-talk in my life.
"I'm afraid Miracles are your department." Okay, that one line actually made me laugh.
I finally got your joke, Phelous! When you mentioned it stupid if "they drained Quasimodo and put a brace on him to make him normal", they actually did that in the recent movie Victor Frankenstein with Daniel Radcliffe. Nice!
I gotta give the movie a little bit of credit; at least the creators took a page from the Disney version and didn't make Quasimodo here act/sound like he has a mental deficiency, unlike all the other Hunchback movies Phelous has reviewed so far.
No, I'm not counting the Handsome of Notre Dame.
The Handsome "Hunchback" of Notre Damn? (From Golden Films?) Yeah, I agree. That was probably even worse than Dingo's adaptation in terms of the story! 😬
@@cameronbosch1213 i actually had that version of the Hunchback as a kid (Golden Films not Dingo) so needless to say i was thrilled when Phelous reviewed it XD
Here's hoping he covers The Jungle King at some point
@RyushuSuperCat Oh hell, Golden Films made some bad films, although they made so passable ones, like their Aladdin adaptation (with Goodtimes). But then Golden Films releases their Hunchback adaption and it blows even the Dingo adaptation out of the water in terms of how bad it is...
the sealed it with a fart made me laugh way to hard
I have seven year old humor at times it got me too 😂😂
Same
''Ain't I a stinker?''
The First Wife joke actually made me laugh.
Ditto.
Yep
yeah.... NGL that made me chuckle
Yeah that was a good one. :)
The doctor actually freaked out because he realized he’d somehow time-traveled to medieval France.
We will avenge you, My Friend!!!
Pretty much none of the film adaptations of the book are very accurate to the book. Probably because the book ends incredibly depressingly, and since most people want a slightly more happy ending to their movie pretty much all adaptations leave at least part of the cast alive at the end. (Usually Esmeralda, and she usually ends up with either Phoebus or Pierre Gringoire if the latter isn't left out of the story completely.)
But even if none of the movies are accurate to the book, at least some of them did something with the idea and made a good movie. Can't say that for this version, though. I think the only good animated Hunchback movie I've seen is the Disney one.
+Snowy-snow The 80's Hunchback film by Burbank Animation isn't too bad either. Not accurate, yes, but it's still tons better than this 'take', just don't mistake it for the 90's remake from Burbank. THAT one is crap.
+Snowy-snow
Yeah, the closest I think was the live action version from the 50s. People got pissy as Disney for it having a happy ending, but that's really nothing new. The famous 30s version with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara had a happy ending. But this isn't even close, 2% close if I am feeling real generous.
Tyler Bioshock R Personally, I don't mind. That none of the movies are accurate. It makes it easier to disconnect it from the book (which I love! ^^) and see the movies as their own story. That doesn't excuse some of them being absolutely horrible, though.
I own a copy of the 30s version. Old fashioned, but really good in my opinion. The make-up on Quasimodo was really well-done.
The 30s version actually had a slightly sad ending for Quasimodo. I mean, he lived at the end (as did Esmeralda) but he was pretty much left where he was at the beginning of the story: alone in the cathedral. And that last line he says to the gargoyle 'I wish I were made of stone like you' shows pretty well he's not exactly happy with his lot in life.
Gosh... I should watch that version again. XD I forgot how much I liked it.
Snowy-snow
Oh yeah, great version, not entirely happy, but its not the soul crushing ending of the book. Also the Disney version made the film a lot less, anti Church. Seriously, I get the impression he wasn't a fan of the Church. Not judging, I'm just saying, frankly I kinda liked what they did with that aspect in the 1996 version. We have a awful person motivated by religion, and a good guy in the form of the bishop who is nice. Good and bad representations of religion, I feel its a bit more balanced. Book is still amazing regardless, just buy some cheap whiskey before finishing it.
Tyler Bioshock R Victor Hugo was a very religious man. But he wrote 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' during a personal crisis of faith, that's why all these 'anti-church' things are in there. (I don't really care if he was religious or not, but it's an interesting little background fact. ^^ Personally, I actually think it's good he saw the bad things of the religion as well. I respect him for that, not all people can do that.)
bruh when the gargoyle first spoke I was so stunned by how shitty it was that I thought it was YOU dubbing over him, Phelous
Me: Oh, can he fly or something?
*Quasimodo sprouts angel wings*
The FUCK!?
+Tronathon242 Oh that's nothing, you should see the "secret" from their Anastasia knockoff. Spoiler alert: Her murdered family came back as talking musical instruments and have the power to resurrect the dead before their souls return to the afterlife.
I'm not even remotely joking.
+Ally Gator Animator What drugs were the writers on to come up with that? It sounds amazing.
Tronathon242
All of them, literally all of the drugs.
+Tronathon242 Oh my God he's Yoshi!
+Ally Gator Animator And the Secret from their take on Mulan is that she and everyone in China are insects!
“I sure hope Anastasia and the Hunchback weren’t hiding the same secret.”
Ahhhh, the benefits of watching this video twice
"You are the only monster in this church at present"
OHHHHH SHIITTTTT SOOOOOONNNNN!
Quasimodo has reached level 7 of cleric and learned Cure Moderate Wounds.
I just watched this movie with my fiance like a week ago. Nobody believed me when I said this crap exists. Thank you so much Phelous!
soooo did he midways falling ripped open his skin to let the wings out? thats kinda painful
I watched the movie and i noticed a thing: the two priests tell us from the beginning that quasi is the sweetest and dearest and goodest person on earth. even after they whip him the archdeacon reminds him that someday people will see him as the person he is on the inside. the teeny tiny problem is: quasi never does ANYTHING to prove he's the sweetest dearest and goodest on earth. and making him heal a bird with his powers (!?) is obviously not enough. are we supposed to like a charachter just cuz other charachters tell us to? the disney quasi on the other hand really is the sweetest dearest and goodest on earth, and no one tells us to like him
When Pierre rescued Esmeralda and then just left Quasimodo behind, I fell out of my chair laughing.
Friends with rocks, reference to Phelous being a rock monster who misses his friends from Suburban Knights?
So these guys helped make Phineas and Ferb? Ok. I guess that explains Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a hunched over loner who lives in a tower and it obviously (comedy) evil because he is so ugly. .
