Most of the original characters from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame--plus a few new ones--return for this animated sequel. Esmeralda (Demi Moore) and Phoebus (Kevin Kline) now have a son named Zephyr (Haley Joel Osment), with whom Quasi (Tom Hulce) has become friends. When the circus comes to town, the hunchback becomes enchanted by a magician's assistant, Madellaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), but the her boss, the vain Sarousch (Michael McKean), is also a thief with an eye for the cathedral's jeweled bell. He forces Madellaine to woo Quasi while he carries out the theft. Will he get away with it? Will Madellaine learn to see the inner Quasi? And will he be able to trust again when he learns of her deception? Songs and humorous high jinks from the gargoyles, including Jason Alexander's Hugo, illustrate the lesson that--as in the first feature--you can't judge a book by its cover. This sequel is squarely aimed at a younger audience than the original was; children from 5 to 10 should be very entertained. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I am still waiting for this package. I don't know what happen, but has not arrived.The Hunchback of Notre Dame II
Off from the original plot, however... May 10, 2008
Sierra (FANTASYLAND!!!)
I agree with other reviewers when they say that the animation was not the best and that the story line was completely off from the original film, but think for a second about what this message is trying to bring.
Quasimodo is obviously not much to look at and Madellaine is not exactly the "ideal" disney heroine that everyone has grown up to. She's real and she's "common". They both are considered underdogs and are very shy and timid people. Although Quasimodo is a bit braver because of his experience hiding in the the Bell tower for twenty years. This film celebrates love. Not the type of love you see in chick flicks where its love at first sight and that false romantic stuff, but the unconditional love that all of us deep within want and need. Otherwise, we will always feel alone.
This film actually did make me cry a bit, for I was suffering emotionally that day when I watched it, so this movie really touched me. The songs were magnificent. I don't mean the music quality, like the Bells of Notre Dame in the first one, but the lyrics were wonderful!
Such as: "Ordinary Miracles"
and Jennifer Love Hewitt's song: "I'm Gonna Love You".
I believe everyone needs this message, because our society has a very glamourous and false view on what love is. This movie for me a slight hope, a glimmer of light, that their is a chance for everyone to find love.
I mean, of course people want that romantic relationship and of course people want to know what that's like. It's completely normal to desire for that, but the term LOVE is different than ROMANCE.
My only cons about this film is the animation and this sequel is way off from what the original story line was actually about.

A story that grows on you. October 17, 2007

H'okay. I remember watching this sequel when it first came out, and I remember that I thought it was extremely cheesy.
Come back some years later, and I was at my local grocery store [which also has a video rental too], deciding to rent some Disney movies [At 20, I still rent those the most...I'm thinking the people know me as the 'Disney Girl' xD]. Well, I saw "The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2" On the shelves and remembered that I didn't like it, but didn't remember why. So I gave it a shot and rented it again. I thought it wasn't too bad, but kinda cheesy at times, and a month later now, I rented it again. xD
I've gotta admit, I've come to love this story. It's a story that grew on me when I just gave it a chance...which I suppose is one of the lessons taught in this story, go figure. xD
The animation is definitely not up to par to the original, but I've definitely seen worse. I've also come to enjoy the songs..well. All the songs except 'Fa La La La Falling in Love'. That song will probably have to grow on me some more. And the main villain, Sarouche [or whatever you spell his name] is a bit of a cliched villain, but eh. And I've come to love Madelaine, I didn't like her so much at first because I'm a big Quasimodo lover. xD I didn't want to let him go! lol.
'Ahem. Anyway, It's a lovely story that grew on me, and I really enjoyed the movie. I would give it 3-4 stars, but I feel kinda sorry for it because of the low reviews, so I'm giving it a five. Disney could have done better if they spent some more time on it, maybe fleshing the plot out a bit, and also spending more time on the animation, but I still love the movie. It's wormed it's way into my heart. ;)
So yeah, if you didn't like the movie at first, why don't you try to watch it again? Who knows, it may grow on you too. :3
A sequel for redemption May 10, 2007
Lauren Johnson (Santa Clara, CA USA)
Defiantly not the best sequel in the world, at least this time they strive to give Quasimodo a love interest who is actually interested in him back. Quasimodo stops by a traveling circus and falls for the evil magician's assistant, Madellaine. The evil magician, Sarouch, tries to force Madellaine to help him steal Notre Dame's most famous bell. I guess it is a good thing that Quasimodo now has a love interest but I would think that Disney could come up with a better plot line to achieve that goal than the one that they did.
