      A whirling, uplifting, thrilling story with a heart-touching message that emerges from the comedy and song.

      The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a beautiful and transporting experience — the best, I think, of Disney’s serious animated features in the multiplex era.

      Chicago Tribune

      A surprisingly emotional, simplified version of the Victor Hugo novel.

      Empire

      A solid, enjoyable, beautifully animated Disney movie, but one not quite out of the top drawer.

      Washington Post

      Aside from the bell-ringer's new look, the studio's ambitious adaptation of Victor Hugo's sprawling classic remains surprisingly faithful to the book's grim mood, if not its plot.

      The Hunchback of Notre Dame isn't bad, it's just a little disappointing. Despite the over-hyped and overexaggerated darkness of the production, kids will love it.

      San Francisco Chronicle

      Gorgeous but dark -- not the usual Disney experience. Audiences will find much to embrace in this animated drama, yet they may not walk away humming the kind of catchy tunes contained in Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King or Aladdin.

      This is the old beauty and the beast tale, one that Disney has already done well enough. I guess they had so much fun the first time that they just had to do it again.
