A gem that has several very visible flaws; yet‚ with these flaws‚ "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" shines as the best from the Disney factory yet.

As the story develops he and Esmeralda are certainly drawn into a web of mutual destruction but what Frollo ascribes to fate the reader understands to be a carefully constructed plan to ensnare the poor gypsy girl and force her into submission or death. Like Frollo‚ the Sachette
