5.0 out of 5 stars Disney'sThe Hunchback of Notre Dame, December 12, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Hardcover)

I liked this book beacause it tells how people should treat people nicely and that you should not be like Frollo and should be good.
Also it has a good moral. My friend read it and I asked "did you like this book?". He said "I liked it a lot". I liked the illustrations. I first read it when I was 5. I wish my sister would like this book.

This review is from: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Hardcover)

This book is the literay edition of Disney's THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME. It stays true to the Disney version of the story and has a lot of wonderful illustrations that you won't find in other book versions of the film. After all other than the music, the animation is the best part of the movie. As for story, if you're looking for the literary masterpiece written by Victor Hugo, you won't find it here. Disney totally butchered Hugo's tale (in Hugo's story: Phoebus isn't a hero, just a horny hunk who's filled with lust; Claude Frollo isn't evil, he is overcome by his lust and desire for Esmeralda; Esmeralda isn't the brightest person in the world; and the story doesn't end all that happily) and the book remains true to that movie.
