Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Though Alan Menken's music misses the big tune that would cap Stephen Schwartz's nimble lyrics, it's the thematic sophistication that brings the movie to life, making older children and adults its best audience.

There is much to admire in Hunchback, not least the risk of doing such a downer of a story at all.

rotten:
Disney has created a movie that, like Quasimodo himself, is half formed.

rotten:
Surely one of Disney's ugliest and least imaginative efforts.

fresh:
The result is a grand cartoon cathedral, teeming with gargoyles and treachery, hopeless love and tortured lust.
