Goofs

While working as a metaphor for the movie's "beauty is within" message, La Fidele bell is an impossible object: with the interior covered in gold and jewels, it would be both impractical (nobody would see it, and church decorations are meant to be seen) and useless, since the acoustics would be terrible, not to mention the clanger of the bell would damage the decoration every time it rang.

User Reviews

Oh, Disney released straight to video, you know that can't usually be good

Now, I rented Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 in good hopes because I loved the first one. I was a little curious to see how the second one would end the story. While this could definitely be entertaining to children, for adults the story is way too predictable and the songs just aren't as magical as the first. Now, I'm not completely bashing the movie because it's not terrible. I did like how Quasy found a person who loved him for him and it was a very happy ending. Just again, I don't want to spoil anything, but the plot is just pretty much what you've seen before and if you watch this you'll see again. For the kids I highly recommend because it teaches good values. Otherwise for adults, it's not really for us.
