The Hunchback Of Notre Dame

The magnificent cathedral of Notre Dame towers above 15th century Paris and the sound of the bells is the very soul of the city. Quasimodo, the bell-ringer, is a mysterious and misshapen outcast who has been secluded there since infancy by his repressive guardian, Judge Claude Frollo. He yearns to be out among the people in the square below but Frollo has forbidden him from ever leaving his tower. On the day of the big pageant, the Feast of Fools, Quasi finds the courage to join the celebration below where he meets the beautiful Gypsy dancer Esmeralda and Phoebus, Frollo's heroic new Captain of the Guard. Phoebus falls in love with Esmeralda and is torn between conscience and duty when he is ordered to hunt her down as a fugitive. Esmeralda's defiance enrages Frollo and he intensifies his efforts to bring her under his control. Meanwhile, Quasi has experienced compassion for the first time in his life and is willing to sacrifice his own safety to save Esmeralda from Frollo's vengeful wrath.

    VICTOR HUGO'S CLASSIC IS FLAWLESS

    I am a huge Walt Disney fan and have seen mostly all the films. this was released when i was little and is really a great movie. based on the story by Victor Hugo. the film starts with a young gypsy mother with a baby in a bundle who is raised by an evil Judge named Claude Frollo. the child is given a cruel name which means ' half formed' and that name is Quasimodo{Tom Hulce- Amadeus}and the tale is really moving. basically the film sees how Qausimodo is locked from everyone else in Paris within the Notre Damne Cathedral's bell tower because Frollo believes he will scare everyone off{it would also ruin Frollo's reputation.} meanwhile there is this gypsy girl named Esmerelda{ Demi Moore} who is the only person who really is sincerely kind to Quasimodo. then we have Frollo's knight Phoebus{Kevin Kline} who's named after Phoebus Apollo in Greek myth. the film sees Phoebus fall in love with Esemerelda. Esmerelda isn't fond of Phoebus but becomes his friend in time. Quasimodo also has some gargoyle friends named after the book's author: Victor & Hugo are joined by a third gargoyle named Leverne, she is funny. Hugo is hilarious. great songs. great story. why not see it today? you won't be dissapointed!
