"Heroes, Villains, Comedy, Suspense, Music - A Joy To Hear And A Wonder To Behold!" - Gene Shalit, The Today Show
Inspired by Victor Hugo's classic novel, Disney brings the heroic adventures of Quasimodo, the gentle and lonely bell ringer of Notre Dame, to spectacular life. This critically acclaimed Disney masterpiece is an "uplifting, thrilling story with a heart-touching message that emerges from the comedy and song" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).
At the urging of his hilarious gargoyle pals, Victor, Hugo and Laverne, Quasimodo leaves the solitary safety of his tower, venturing out to find his first true friend, the gypsy beauty Esmeralda. The most unlikely of heroes, Quasi fights to save the people and the city he loves and, in turn, helps us to see people for who they are, rather than how they appear.

Goofs: Continuity: When Esmeralda sings "God Help the Outcasts" while passing people in Notre Dame, the gold coins from her sash are missing. (more) Trivia: The opening scene, in which Clopin sings "The Bells of Notre Dame," was originally all spoken dialogue. After two revisions, it was decided that it was too dry and boring, and so was turned into a musical number. (more) Quotes: Frollo: The sentence for insubordination is death. Such a pity. You threw away a promising career. Phoebus: Consider it my highest honor, sir. (more) Awards: Nominated for Oscar. Another 7 wins & 4 nominations (more)
