Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

avi-greene2 I grew up on Disney a lot when I was a kid, and to this day there are still some films they made that I like. For this straight-to- video sequel, however, there is nothing really to say about it except that it is simply one of the WORST movies Disney has ever made, and it is not worth owning at all. All of the songs in this movie are really lousy, and lack the dark tone the songs in The Hunchback of Notre Dame 1 had. In addition, the animation of this sequel is very ugly like the character of Quasimodo, and the villain in this film, Serouche, is such a douche bag unlike Judge Claude Frollo in the first movie. In the end credits, though, I thought the song "I'm Gonna Love You" be Jennifer Love Hewitt was pretty, and it was a really good indicator that this horrible movie is over. To anyone who owns this movie on DVD at home, I would highly recommend you scratch up your discs against a wall, break your discs into pieces with your foot, gather up the broken pieces and take a picture of the broken discs on Facebook, and then just throw away all the pieces in your garbage cans. I also suggest you do this to DVDs of horrible films like "Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World", "The Fox and the Hound 2", "Open Season", "The Muppets' Wizard of Oz", "Tarzan and Jane", "Twilight", "Daddy Day Care", "Monster House", "Honey We Shrunk Ourselves", "Gigli", "Happily 'N' Ever After", "Fat Albert" and many others that stunk (but not "The Cat in the Hat" with Mike Myers, because I like that one), as well as with all Kidz Bop and Justin Bieber CDs. To summarize this review in short, this film is terrible.

idonnowho Seriously, this is the most over-hated Disney film of all-time. Even more than "Home on the Range", which was neither straight-to- DVD nor a sequel, yet still gets a ton of hate, regardless, but that's another story.Speaking of which, most direct-to-DVD films from Disney get virtually nothing but hate from fans, either because they want to act "hip" or "cool" or because they expect too dang much, and this one is certainly no exception. While admittedly, the animation isn't as high-quality as a theatrical release, or even some DTDVD releases (i.e. "The Lion King 2", which was another example of a pretty darn good Disney sequel, which thankfully isn't nearly as hated as this or some others), but I actually found, upon watching it last night, it actually holds a certain charm in the 90's Saturday Morning Cartoon-style animation.As for the characters, all of them are back, baring the gracious exception of the dastardly minister Frollo, and I gotta say, I find it fascinating and satisfying in the best possible way how the absence of just one character could alter the mood of Paris and Notre Dame itself completely. The great French city and even the cathedral herself were a fairly dark, misty and almost even foreboding place for most of the first film, prior to his well-earned damnation in the finale, but since then, Paris has lightened up considerably and become a place anyone with a heart or soul (two things neither Frollo nor the "hip" haters of this film ever seemed to have) would want to live. And all of the returning characters even have their all-star voice talents from the previous film (save it for Laverne the Gargoyle, and that can obviously be forgiven due to her original voice actress's death in 1995), and they even added some new all-star voice talents to the mix, including Michael McKean as the charismatic villain, Sarousch, and Jennifer Love Hewitt as the beautiful Madellaine.Speaking of Madellaine, she's even more beautiful than Esmeralda, and that's saying a lot! It's almost certainly just as well Quasimodo didn't marry Esmeralda in the first film; Madellaine's a much better match for him, and I'd rather have her or Esmeralda, myself, any day! Quasi's a lucky guy! Ultimately even luckier than Phoebus!As for Sarousch, the new villain, he's admittedly not the scurvy zealot Frollo was, and again that's just as well! And for what it's worth, Sarousch did have some genuine moments of menace, for all those "hipsters" who complain he was a complete sissy.All in all, a REALLY, charming, sentimental film, which, again does NOT deserve all the hate it gets. Save that hate for "Hoodwinked 2", will ya? It's a sequel that actually WAS released in theaters, but felt childishly, heartlessly, and unfunnily written, and couldn't' even get back TWO LIVING voice talents from the original, Anne Hathaway OR Jim Belushi, and the former got specifically replaced with a certain "cheerleader"/screeching ant-let, but that's another story completely...

theantifox It was a critically acclaimed film released in June of '96. The animation was splendid, the music was splendid, even the voice cast (Tom Hulce, Demi Moore, Kevin Kline and Jason Alexander) was splendid. And after I watched that one, I asked myself, is this as good as traditional animation gets? Well, at least I thought that about the FIRST Hunchback. This one has to be the worst excuse of family entertainment. All this "movie" really is, is the first movie without even a fraction of a FRACTION of a good note of music, visual dazzle, wit or charm. The only good thing they did about this movie was bring back the old voices, who I bet were only there for the money, as well as the two added voice actors, Haley Joel Osment and Jennifer Love Hewitt. The animation looked like something out of Saturday Morning cartoons, the songs were gratingly loud and was sorely lacking the dark tone of the original film. Even Gigli is better than this. Seriously.

FurBallsUnite Oh. My. Gosh. Words can't explain what a monstrosity this sequel is. Before I even start, let me just say that I bought a "used" copy of this movie on VHS a month after the original release date at Blockbuster for a measly $5. I put "used" in quotation marks because this copy had obviously never even been touched. It is obvious who the enemy is at first sight because of his slicked-back black hair and evil eyes. The whole deal with Esmeralda and Phoebus having a kid -- wha...?? Quasimodo's new girlfriend is ugly and annoying. The new songs are intolerable; after hearing them, I was almost tempted to stick my fingers down my own throat. Oh, and the "I love _______" bit at the end was downright repulsive, almost as bad as the animation.Now, not all of Disney's direct-to-video sequels are bad. Mulan 2 and Lilo and Stitch 2 were definitely watchable, An Extremely Goofy Movie was entertaining (still not as good as the original, though), and Toy Story 2 was awesome. Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 is worse than Cinderella 2 and Belle's Enchanted World. Yes, it's that bad. Please don't subject yourself or your children to this garbage. I think I just heard Walt Disney turn over in his grave. Fans of the original such as myself are sure to be disappointed. Fans of the original book by Victor Hugo will probably vomit uncontrollably, as this movie strays light-years further from the book than the original movie. I say we all pretend this movie never existed and that all copies are burned. I only gave it one star because I was unable to give it a negative score.
