The hunchback of Notre Dame

-1996-

Romanticism and gothic novel

1. Historical novel

• It has had several adaptations: theatre, cinema, ballet...

2. SOCIAL CRITICISM

It reminds me of my favorite novel, "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, it reveals what the true ugliness is. At first we all can think that Frankenstein or Quasimodo are the monsters, but the truth is that only society, which rejects and misstreats them just because they're not "beautiful", is the true monster.

3. CURIOUS facts

In the original novel, Frollo was a priest

"Hellfire", the famous song sung by Frollo, is inspired in an italian opera. "Te Deum" composed by Giacomo Puccini

Another famous character of Disney appears

All the characters were drawn by hand

The animation team travelled to París for recreating better its atmosphere
