Following a public shaming at the Feast of Fools, Quasimodo is swept from his lonely bell tower into the city's gritty underground: the Court of Miracles. He joins a crew of spirited outcasts to plot a high-stakes rebellion against Judge Frollo, dodging Parisian guards and existential gargoyle advice along the way. Quasi soon discovers that a little inner strength can turn a lifetime of hiding into a legendary stand for justice.
THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME is one of the most popular musicals to never have a Broadway run, but its epic story of Quasimodo and his bell tower home had reached legend status long before the Disney produced stage musical premiered in Germany. Here to chat about the film, the novel it's based on, and the story of how they found their way to the stage is someone who knows a thing or two about epic musicals. This week, actor Rodd Cyrus brings not only his experience with HUNCHBACK, but also the hit revival of RAGTIME and, maybe most importantly, an impressive knowledge of Disney straight-to-home video sequels. Get ready, Disney fans. You're gonna love this one. Follow Rodd on Instagram at @roddcyrus and see him as Harry Houdini in Ragtime : Lincoln Center Theater.

Show Notes This week, bafflement abounds as we discuss the 1996 film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. We watched it, I dare say we enjoyed it a lot, we still are not sure how or why this movie exists. Beautiful animation, fantastic music, great voice acting (mostly) and yet, why is this? Is it a kid's movie? No. Does Disney think it is? Yes? But I don't think there is another G rated movie with the antagonist smelling a woman and then trying to murder her for giving him pants feelings. WHAT IS THIS? Recommendations: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (book) The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a 1923 silent film starring Lon Chaney as Quasimodo The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a 1939 sound film starring Charles Laughton as Quasimodo and Maureen O'Hara as Esmeralda The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a 1956 French film starring Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo and Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda Next up: Hercules (1997)
Chris and Gerry step back into merry old Pariee as they revisit The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful films of Hollywood's Golden Age. In this video, we break down Charles Laughton's unforgettable performance as Quasimodo, explore the film's groundbreaking makeup and set design, and discuss how this adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel shaped the future of classic cinema. We'll look at the film's themes of compassion, justice, and superstion vs. reality. Whether you're a longtime fan of classic Hollywood or discovering this masterpiece for the first time, this review offers fresh insight into why the 1939 Hunchback of Notre Dame still resonates today.
Released smack dab in the middle of the Disney Renaissance, The Hunchback of Notre Dame was overshadowed critically and financially by much of the studio's other output. Senior Character Artist at Naughty Dog, Colleen Larson, discusses; the darker aspects of the film, influences from previous adaptations, and the beautiful animation of the film.For more info, head to underratedmoviepodcast.comPatreon:https://patreon.com/UnderratedMoviePodcastInstagram:https://instagram.com/underratedmoviepodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@underratedmoviepodcastYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAbpTHWyBle7yKJv4-gR_g

Shamelessly long one today, lil' onions. There is simply too much to unpack here in Carie Ann's favorite Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). Carie dives into the layered lasagna of a film that was definitely made with kids in mind, yet somehow is BARELY child appropriate. Ross applauds the Disney team for walking a very fine line that still manages to point out the hypocrisy of power and religion. Carie also provides several truly disturbing events in the Victor Hugo novel, and the siblings revel in the execution of the film's dichotomy: What makes a monster and what makes a man?

1996's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Ohhhh back in the day when Notre Dame wasn't damaged by fire and the Romani people were persecuted by blue-balled religious institutions. Will this Disney classic bring us so much joy that we decide to crown it the King of Fools or will we have to burn it in Hell Fire? Either way, Frollo needs to take a long cold shower.

Composer Alan Menken is the winner of more Academy Awards in competitive categories than any other living person. He's best known for his scores for the animated Disney films including The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. His first big hit was the musical Little Shop Of Horrors - one of several he created with lyricist Howard Ashman, his longtime writing partner. Other stage musicals include Sister Act, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and Hercules, which recently opened in London's West End. Alan Menken also wrote the scores for Disney films Mirror Mirror, Enchanted and Tangled. As well as eight Academy Awards, he has also won eleven Grammys, seven Golden Globes, two Emmys and a Tony Award.Alan talks to John Wilson about his childhood in New York and the expectations of his parents that he would follow family tradition and become a dentist like his father. A musical talent from a young age, he recalls how seeing Walt Disney's Fantasia was the start of thinking about the marriage of music with story and images. Despite initial ambitions to be a singer-songwriter, enrolling in a workshop in New York for musical theatre composers, lyricists, and librettists led by composer Lehmann Engel taught him how to write for the stage. It is also through Engel that he met lyricist and director Howard Ashman with whom he went on to write many of the hit scores credited as the driving force behind the Disney Renaissance of the 1980s and 1990s. Tragically, Howard Ashman was diagnosed with HIV in 1988 and died at the age of 40 in 1991.Producer: Edwina Pitman
The Springfield Muni's production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame runs June 20–22 and June 25–28. The musical features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. It is adapted from Walt Disney Animation Studios' 1996 film, which was itself based on Victor Hugo's 1831 novel. The story follows Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame, as he struggles for acceptance and love while protecting the kind-hearted Romani woman Esmeralda from the cruelty of Judge Claude Frollo. Director Kevin Kulavic and Liyah Orielle, who plays Esmeralda, spoke to Community Voices about why the show was chosen, its characters, and the relatable themes it explores.

Movie of the Year: 1996The Hunchback of Notre DameExploring Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" on the Movie of the Year PodcastDiscover Disney's boldest animated film through the lens of the Movie of the Year podcast as they dive into the ambitious and controversial 1996 adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This animated classic challenges traditional Disney boundaries with its exploration of religion, sensuality, and a captivating musical score. Urban apartment dwellers, take note: this episode offers a fresh perspective on a film that dares to be daring.Religion in Disney's The Hunchback of Notre DameOne of the central themes of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is its exploration of religion. The podcast's hosts delve into how the film portrays faith as both a source of refuge and a tool of oppression. Judge Claude Frollo, voiced with chilling gravitas by Tony Jay, embodies religious hypocrisy, twisting doctrine to justify his sinister deeds. Meanwhile, the cathedral of Notre Dame itself offers sanctuary and hope, symbolizing the redemptive aspects of faith.The hosts highlight how the film's darker tone resonates with urban audiences familiar with the complexities of modern spirituality. They note how Quasimodo's deep connection to the cathedral—both his prison and his home—reflects the dual nature of organized religion, capable of both nurturing and constraining the human spirit.Sensuality and Desire: The Horniness of Disney's HunchbackFor a Disney film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame stands out for its overt sensuality. The podcast tackles the infamous “Hellfire” sequence, in which Frollo's inner turmoil over his lust for Esmeralda is rendered in a fiery, operatic number. The hosts marvel at the audacity of Disney animators to include a scene that grapples with such adult themes.Esmeralda, voiced by Demi Moore, is another focal point of discussion. Her character—confident, compassionate, and unapologetically alluring—challenges traditional Disney princess tropes. The hosts discuss how her portrayal aligns with a more mature understanding of desire and autonomy, appealing to an adult sensibility often overlooked in animated films. They also note how this layer of complexity mirrors the romantic struggles of urban life, where relationships often blur the line between attraction and complication.Alan Menken's Music: A Symphony of EmotionAlan Menken's score for The Hunchback of Notre Dame is nothing short of operatic, and the podcast dedicates ample time to unpacking its grandeur. The sweeping melodies and choral arrangements lend the film an epic quality that elevates its narrative stakes. Songs like “Out There” and “God Help the Outcasts” capture the yearning and vulnerability of the characters, resonating with anyone who has ever felt marginalized.The hosts also discuss how the music's blend of Latin liturgical elements and Broadway sensibilities creates a unique auditory experience. They point out how the score's sophistication feels tailor-made for urban audiences accustomed to cultural diversity and artistic ambition. Menken's work not only serves the story but also challenges the listener to engage with the film on a deeper emotional level.Why Urban Audiences Should Revisit Disney's The Hunchback of Notre DameAs the Movie of the Year podcast episode illustrates, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is far more than just another entry in Disney's animated canon. Its unflinching exploration of religion, its daring embrace of adult themes, and its unparalleled musical score make it a film that demands to be revisited.Key Takeaways from the Podcast:The dual nature of faith as depicted in
The 628th edition of Have You Ever Seen has Ryan doing a monologue about The Hunchback Of Notre Dame. William Dieterle directs this adaptation of Victor Hugo's tragic novel as a strange love triangle, with both Cedric Hardwicke's Frollo and Charles Laughton's Quasimodo falling hard for Maureen O'Hara's Esmeralda. Perc Westmore's makeup and many other technical aspects of this production are quite impressive, but the huge Notre Dame set and Laughton's performance as the title character are A+. A theme of persecution by both the fickle masses and by the bloodthirsty powers-that-be was timely when Hunchback was made in the late '30s, but it unfortunately remains relevant today. And while the Hunchback Of Notre Dame is not a fun film, it's a pretty terrific one. Try Sparkplug Coffee. They give our listeners a 20% discount just by using our "HYES" promo code.

During this episode Julia and I discuss whether or not this scary, sexy movie was really ever meant for children. And of course I go hard on the misogyny represented within the character arc for Esmerelda and how she's viewed by her male counterparts.

Hey Heathens! We are feeling ourselves this week as we deliver another top notch episode on the original sin...Pride! That's right! We have a hot vapid Nightclub chick debating the Hunchback of New Jersey on Should Pride be one of the 7 Deadly Sins? They explore this topic by discussing such things as Gay Pride, wearing beer pong medals, and why parallel parking is for ugly people. All judged by a bishop who lets people smoke and eat hoagies in his church!

It's the stunning conclusion of our giant-sized action-horror blockbuster, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Will Victor Frankenstein be able to reconcile with his resurrected son? What will become of Esmeralda? And, crucially, WHO WAS IN THE BATHROOM? These questions will be answered, plus a lot that you probably didn't have about Dylan's chaotic writing process vs. Dalton's more orderly and functional one. PLUS: The hosts get into their most heated argument ever, which will have lasting repurcussions on the future of the Dark Universe!
A pitch too big for one episode! Dylan's brought in a whopping 80-page script for his half of the House of Frankenstein duology, The Hunchback of Notre Dame! How will he connect this massive Victor Hugo novel with the mythology of Frankenstein? How accurate are the fan predictions? Will the seeds planted by Dalton in A Native American Werewolf in Paris bear fruit? Find out now, and stay tuned for PART TWO in seven days! Our podcast partner this week is the sci-fi/fantasy book podcast Shit We've Read. Think of them as your friendly, neighborhood online book club.
