    • Trivia
      Mandy Patinkin was originally cast as Quasimodo in the Disney version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), but dropped out due to clashes with the producer regarding the character. He was cast as Quasimodo in this film, and Tom Hulce was cast to voice Quasimodo in Patinkin's place, in the Disney version.

      The cathedral is shown as having only the north tower completed, with the south tower under construction. The story is set in 1480 by which time the cathedral had been fully built for over two centuries (completed in 1260)

    a correct sketch

    Salma Hayek deserved her Esmeralda.

    This was the basic thought after the final credits of this not great but nice crafted film. Sure, the great job of Mandy Patinkin is the pillar of this film reminding the animation of 1996, offering the tools for Richard Harris for a dark, creepy character, impressive in each scene.

    Fair atmosphere, not bad acting and the courage to offer the correct perspective, sure at level of sketch, to the masterpiece by victor Hugo.

    Can be better ?

    It is just decent. And this is the only important thing because, not being memorable version, it is a pleasant one.

    In short, just correct .
