Disadvantages: have too watch it time and time again

I think even Victor Hugo would appreciate the disney's adaptation of his story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, quasimodo. A typical Disney style to capture a tale and make it fun, exciting and suitable for all ages.

It the story is well structured and begins by, of course introducing the characters and suppling the back ground of the story before the film begins. We see how quasimodo becomes imprisioned by the bell tower and why his master keeps him there.

Has the normal characters you would expect to see in a disney film. The baddy-lord frlol his master, the good guy-quasimodo himself, the beautiful woman-esmarelda (played by deni moore) and the comical characters- the three stone gargoyles who come to like and are the funny friends of quasi.

All the aspects of a fairy tale are there. The love story between quasi, esmarelda and the captain. The main character becoming the hero leading to a happy ending and the baddy getting his comeupance. But quas does not get the girl in this film!!

What makes this film stand out from others is that it has that element of culture in it too. Captures a real sense of paris. The heart pounding music, the use of imagery and symbolism and the historical element all add to the magical excitment of the film.

Over all a definatly worth while watch for the whole family.
