The Hunchback of Notre Dame

In this Disney Moms Gone Wrong, we take a deep dive into Disney’s animated classic, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”. Released in 1996, the film is an adaptation of Victor Hugo’s novel of the same name and tells the story of Quasimodo, a deformed bell-ringer who lives in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

We examine the film’s characters, including the villainous Judge Claude Frollo and the kind-hearted Esmeralda, and discuss the ways in which they are both complex and nuanced. We also discuss the film’s memorable musical numbers, including the iconic “Hellfire” sequence, which explores Frollo’s inner turmoil.

Finally, we wrap up our discussion by reflecting on the film’s enduring legacy and its place in the Disney canon. Whether you’re a die-hard Disney fan or simply a lover of animation, this podcast episode offers a thoughtful and engaging review of one of the most beloved films in the Disney canon.
