Although a lot of Disney films were inspired by classic novels, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is particularly unique. Even though Hugo’s novel presents a ton of Gothic themes and perverse character arcs, Disney managed to take the original plot and transform it into an utterly magical kids’ film. Thus, The Hunchback of Notre Dame transports audiences back to the wonders of 15th-century France but doesn’t lose sight of the original purpose of the novel.
When the film premiered in 1996, it managed to accumulate $325 million at the worldwide box office and was labeled as the fifth-highest-grossing film that year. Thus, it’s clear that although many Disney fans may have never read Hugo’s novel, they feel a deep connection with its heart-wrenching story. But what makes The Hunchback of Notre Dame a Disney classic, and is it time for this film to be rebooted for the next generation?
Though this film does follow the exact steps of Victor Hugo’s original plot, Disney manages to maintain the novel’s appreciation and love of France. It also showcases the tender moments between Quasimodo and Esmeralda and how the two manage to be each other’s place of safety. Therefore, even though this charming Disney classic doesn’t include explicit references that would hinder its G-rating, it still stays true to the source material.
