crittermom-237-746847 My daughter and I watched this film for the first time today and it flew to the top of my Disney Favorites List. I usually steer clear of Disney sequels because that is dangerous, but this one was truly great.It is the first film I've seen at a children's level that is a believable love story of ordinary people. It is an articulate depiction of second chances, forgiveness, true beauty, courage, and love! It doesn't use the dashing prince 7ft tall with arrogant mannerisms or a girl with unrealistic proportions and a faultless track record "tra-la-laing" through the forest and talking in a soft voice to display her unmatchable grace and etiquette- the main girl is not royalty at all.The plot could've been developed a little more, and there could have been a few more songs to keep it running in your head after the credits roll, but this was far from a forgettable film. We will certainly be buying this one, and now I am curious of the other Disney sequels- although I certainly won't set the bar at the level of this one bc it was magnificent!

scotchmoe21 Surprisingly touching and fun, most can not get passed the down-graded animation, but it was created by the animators for TV cartoons in Japan. The story itself is sweet and engaging and I love how the original cast returns to their roles. True this film can not compare to the music of the original, yet I am glad to see this film created, because Quasimodo deserves love and they created a worthy character in Madeline. If the film had been created by the Disney animation studio I bet people would have a much better opinion of it. You should see it, it is a cute and bouncy tale. I don't much care for direct to video animated movies, but this one won me over

breale91 OK, I really don't get what everyone's problem is. This movie is what Disney is all about: cuteness, innocence, and teaching us that our dreams can come true! The first one was so scary, what with Hellfire and that scene where Frollo traps that family in their house and sets it on fire, so this time, now that Frollo has been destroyed, everyone is happy, and Quasimodo is an icon in Paris! And this time, he finds true love, Madellaine, and that certainly lightens the mood after that one part in part one. All in all, it may not have been the superior film like Terminator 2 Judgement Day was, but it's well worth your time if you need cheering up!

Raven Barr I am still trying to hold my dinner down in fear that i am going to throw up all over the computer. I started to watch the opening and the first thing you see is the HORRIBLE i mean HORRIBLE animation. I mean a blind handless person could draw better then this! I LOVED the FIRST movie, it was one of the darkest and realistic (for Disney) movies and I loved the music as well (but how it got the rating G, I will never know and don't want to know what hell they gave for it) The animation was horrible and I could feel tears in my eyes just watching this. Also there is happy IloveTheWorld music going on not the dark dramatic choir and bells ringing like in the first. Oh no it gets much worse. You see our Hunchback buddie leaping house to house hanging up flowers and everyone is trying to set up a festival (and are failing horribly). Clopin (the singing gypsies)is standing on a platform with a flower arch over his head and thats pretty much the decoration. and they wont stop stuffing flowers into the arch, its pretty much in every other shot.And they are getting ready for their FAVORITE festival!! (what happened to the feast of fools?)I cannot even hear what they are saying with the bad sound quality. Its a festive for love (oofff cooouuurrrssee) And My favorite character Clopin is dancing around with Quasimodo (Quasi for short) like there about to get married. And Quasi is handing out flowers and no one seems to care about the fact that he is not normal. While they are singing there horribly written song about love (Shivers) You see Phoebus on his horse. And Oh my F*** god its the worse animation I've seen in 15 Years. And somehow Esperelda has grown like ten feet and is taller then him while he is sitting up on a horse and kisses him in horrible animation. For the rest of this song they just take things from the first movie and slap it in. Clopin playing with his puppets and such and everyone is happy and smiling even though half of Paris just burned down with all of there people!! YAY HALF OF THE CITY IS GONE!!! Then those sidekick statues are fighting and its pretty stupid. "To bad there's not enough of me to go around" "Good thing" "Hey was that a shot?" WTF?! The thing that made me turn this off was Phoebus saying "I hope you ring the bell loud enough because ima gonna make Esmeralda scream She loves me and make her scream my name!!" DEAR GOD THIS IS A KIDS MOVIE!!!This movie cannot be a Disney movie. Its either the dirty sex jokes they somehow failed to see or the bad animation and the characters are STILL wearing the same clothes. The only thing I liked was the cute little son of Phoebes and Esmeralda, he was pretty cute.
