Entertainment Reviews:
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.

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

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

Rating: 3.5/4 --
It is a great paradox, a film denied commercial success because of its darker themes, but a film that succeeds artistically for those very reasons.

The messages in the movie are very muddled.

A better title for the film would have been Beauty and the Beast, but Disney's already done that -- which may be why Alan Menken's score sounds like warmed over off-cuts from its predecessor.

Product Description:
In a role that predates his Hannibal Lector, Anthony Hopkins plays a monster of a different kind in 1982’s THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. The actor is mesmerizing as Quasimodo in Victor Hugo’s timeless story. Narrated by Robert Powell, HUNCHBACK also stars David Suchet, Lesley-Anne Down, Derek Jacobi, and John Gielgud.
Product Description:
Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bellringer of Notre Dame's cathedral, falls in love with the beautiful gypsy dancer, Esmeralda. When Esmeralda is arrested for lewd dancing, she catches the eye of Quasimodo's guardian, the archdeacon of the cathedral. Further unwanted affections are lavished upon her by a poor street poet. But Esmeralda's love is reserved for a handsome soldier. When a mob accuses Esmeralda of being a murderer and a witch, Quasimodo must rescue her by claiming sanctuary for her in the cathedral.
