An improvement on 1995's Pocahontas, but not as good as the classics.

Gorgeous but dark -- not the usual Disney experience.

There is much to admire in Hunchback, not least the risk of doing such a downer of a story at all.

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

A shameful iteration of a literary masterpiece.

One of the absolute best of Disney's animated legacy. It approaches the ideas of accepting others for who they are and not allowing antiquated notions of propriety destroy lives.

Surely one of Disney's ugliest and least imaginative efforts.

If not for some hopelessly incompetent and wasted attempts to lighten the mood... it might well be able to compete with Beauty and the Beast as the best film of the Disney Renaissance.

Disney has created a movie that, like Quasimodo himself, is half formed.

Though Alan Menken's music misses the big tune that would cap Stephen Schwartz's nimble lyrics, it's the thematic sophistication that brings the movie to life, making older children and adults its best audience.

The result is a grand cartoon cathedral, teeming with gargoyles and treachery, hopeless love and tortured lust.

As my wife put it, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is "too dark and too dirty for kids."
